Is FLAC hardware independent?

Dear list,
We are investigating about some state-of-the-art 
lossless audio codecs and their performance in terms of  rate and 
compression ratio. Therefore, it is very important to us to know whether a
 codec is hardware independent, i.e. if it produces the same output file
 regardless of the hardware. Could you please tell me whether FLAC is 
hardware independent?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
