Hardwarefacilities<br>
-------------------<br>
Valgrinddoesnotrequirethatthehostmachinehasthesamehardware<br>

Thisisconvenient.Ifpossible,theJITcompilerwilltranslatethe<br>
clientinstructionsaccordingtothefacilitiesavailableonthehost.<br>
Thismeans,though,thatprobingforhardwarefacilitiesbyissuing<br>
