Binaries are supplied for two platforms:

x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu: AMD/Intel 64-bit processors (most desktops, laptops, servers)
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu: 64bit ARM processors (Raspberry Pi 4)

Additionally there is also a -portable suffix which indicates if the portable feature is used:

Without portable: uses modern CPU instructions to provide the fastest signature verification times (may cause Illegal instruction error on older CPUs)
With portable: approx. 20% slower, but should work on all modern 64-bit processors.

Note: we do not yet provide binaries for MacOS or Windows native.
