---------------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Runtime SIMD check on Apple hardware missing
Key: ARROW-11217
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11217
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: C++
Reporter: Neal Richardson
Fix For: 3.0.0
[~jeroenooms] hit a crash in the "sum" compute kernel using the R package on a
new M1 machine running the rosetta emulator:
https://gist.github.com/jeroen/c60548b29ff7f6807a6554799bd01cb7
According to
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/about_the_rosetta_translation_environment,
we should be checking sysctlbyname for AVX* capabilities, but we are not. We
only use that function in
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/util/cpu_info.cc#L350-L359
to check cpu cache size.
This may also explain a crash we observed previously on a very old macOS CRAN
machine.
I think we should to resolve this before the 3.0 release if possible, in order
to avoid bug reports as more people get M1s.
