Subject: [PATCH 0/2] allow AVX512 instructions to be used with MSVC
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2025 17:52:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1740707537-10517-1-git-send-email-andremue@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
Up to now MSVC has being used with the default mode, which uses SSE2
instructions for scalar floating-point and vector calculations.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/arch-x64?view=msvc-170
This patchset allows users to specify the CPU for which the generated
code should be optimized for in the same way it's done for GCC: by
passing the CPU name. When no name is provided 'native' is assumed
meaning that the code should be optimized for the machine compiling
the code.
MSVC does not provide this functionality natively, so logic was
added. This additional logic relies on a table which stores instruction
set availability (like AXV512F) for different CPUs.
To make it easier to update this table a new devtool was also added.
