You should see a vector size of 8, and a message containing "AVX512 (64-bit
precision)". If you do not do this, then there is a problem with the
compiler options -- this decision is made at compile time. You might need
to specify "-march=knl" to GCC, or a similar option to the Intel compiler,
or you could build on a KNL node and use "-march=native" or "-xHost".
