This is interesting, the use case I was thinking about is EDA SW, which is very expensive and performance (runtime) can be days in some cases. In the tool installs I only ever see i386 and x86_64. In curious if the EDA vendors have compiled for the lowest common denomnator for these two basic architectures. If so it would seem like they are leaving a lot of performance potential on the table. Is there any tool that explores and executable and reports if vector instructions are present and follows dependencies (like ldd)?
- glangdale 6y agoOn Linux, you can turn on the performance counters systemwide and watch instruction counts of various types of instructions tick up, if you want. I don't know how to do this on Windows. I imagine you could also use any number of disassembly tools to peer at the instructions - looking for xmm/ymm/zmm in the textual output would be the giveaway.
