Petar and others on the Valgrind lists,  I asked this question because of just 
what Jeff states that there are many HPC programmers and HPC laboratories which 
use Valgrind extensively.  I do not mind opening a KDE bug discussion, but 
after not finding anything on this topic after searching through the KDE 
archive and the mailing lists archives, I thought first to ask via the mailing 
lists if anyone is currently working on contributing AVX-512 support to 
Valgrind. Intel's Knights Landing processor has shipped with AVX-512: 
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-xeon-phi-x200-family-processor-performance-monitoring-reference-manual.
  From the KDE bug discussions for AVX2 
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305728 ), I realize adding AVX-512 
support is a large piece of development.

Thank you all for your inputs.  I will open up a KDE bug discussion on this 
topic.

Regards,

Rashawn Knapp,
Intel Corporation

It may be worth to open a bug at kde and track future discussion there.
