--- Comment #17 from Andrey Matyukov <[email protected]> --- Thanks for the feedback. Regarding this comment: >> Does this library work on x86_64 platforms that do not have AVX-512 (or do >> not have the right collection of AVX-512 features)? > Answering this question for myself—no, it does not. I am seeking an opinion > on this: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1044 Not exactly. The library itself can work on any x86_64 platforms, but some functions (a computational ones) require specific CPU features. Along with computational functions the library provides service functions (see cpu_features.h) that let application check if the CPU supports particular ISA to use some specific algo. Those service functions shall work regardless available ISA. As to the fesco issue #2569, I'm not quite sure what tests are mentioned there that cannot be executed on any hardware. It looks like it is the test/application issue, as it should perform a runtime check using provided API if the HW is supported for any algo from the library. And if not either do a fallback or gracefully exit. I think such runtime dispatching scheme is quite common when using HW dependent libraries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
