In High Performance Computing applications, developers always desire to get the most out of the underlying hardware. As the capabilities of the hardware continue to expand, it is important that ...

With every new processor launch, the big focus is invariably on IPC. As a result, IPC becomes the focus for determining performance gains. However, other than pure IPC improvements, there are other ...

Intel AVX-512 is the latest in a long history of x86 vector instruction sets. Vector instructions, commonly known as SIMD instructions, are special because they do more than one operation at a time.

Intel has finally defended its AVX-512 instruction set against critics who have gone so far as to wish it to die “a painful death.” Intel Chief Architect Raja Koduri said the community loves it ...

Remember how, back in 2023, we reported on Intel's AVX10? Intel said that the new standard would be backward compatible with all of the AVX-512 instruction set extensions, and that at some point, the ...

After recently proposing x86S 64-bit only CPUs, Intel today introduces AVX10 which brings AVX-512 to its E-cores as well. The company is also debuting a new APX ISA that doubles GPRs. It looks like ...

by Zak Killian — Saturday, January 01, 2022, 11:17 AM EDT The saga of AVX-512 on Alder Lake has been an interesting one. Originally, folks reasonably assumed that the 12th-Gen Core processors would ...

In brief: Intel 12th Gen Core desktop processors never officially supported AVX-512, but we have workarounds to enable this instruction set. However, new firmware releases might render these methods ...
