Description 2wxsy58236r3 2023-05-27 01:22:28 UTC

From src/solid/devices/frontend/processor.h, solid only contains a very short list of instruction sets. Recent ones such as AVX, AVX2, AVX-512 (x86-64 CPUs), or NEON, SVE, SVE2 (ARM CPUs) are missing.

Comment 1 2wxsy58236r3 2023-06-01 01:57:48 UTC

Since kinfocenter uses solid, if you view CPU information by Devices -> Device Viewer -> Processors -> Processor 0, you will see that AVX, AVX2, etc. will not be listed under "Supported Instruction Sets" even if your CPU supports them. It can only expose the short list of instruction sets provided by solid.
