Document supported hardware architectures

[zamazan4ik]

Hi!

I have checked the documentation but did not find any word about supported architectures - only about supported operating systems.

Could you please put the information about supported architectures to the documentation please? E.e. about supported architectures for different operating systems, some specific requirements to the supported instructions, if you have any (e.g. maybe AVX is required - I do not know).

This kind of information is important for the end-users.

Thanks in advance!

Supported platforms are Linux (x86_64, aarch64), Mac OS X (x86_64, M1), FreeBSD
(x86_64).

It is in the README.md file of the repository. Please, note that we support aarch64 since tarantool-2.10.0.

We build packages for our RPM/Deb repositories using standard compiler options of given Linux distributions (the same about brew's bottles for Mac OS). So the requirements are the same as for any other package for the distribution, nothing specific.

The download page on the website actually don't mention hardware architectures. I'll add this issue to the backlog of the team responsible for the infrastructure.

Thank you for the clarification. I am just asking you to put this information to the documentation in some place, since for users is much more convenient to use only single source of information regarding the database.

Thanks!

I will add the information about supported architectures to the Download page on the website. Besides that, we'll need to write a new documentation article on the topic.
