Fat binary



A fat binary (or multiarchitecture binary) is a computer program that is native to multiple instruction set architectures (ISA) and thus can be run on multiple processor types. The usual method of implementation is to include a version of the machine code for each ISA, resulting in a file larger than a normal one-architecture binary, thus the name.
