Yes... The issue here isn't that your hardware has changed, but that the cost/benefits of avx support had shifted too far to the "cost" side of things.
Where performance is a concern, there's been considerable advancement, and the "people time" spent supporting avx could instead be spent supporting avx512. Where portability is a concern, the base architecture still works. Not completely ideal, but I hope this helps make sense of things. -- Raul On Sat, May 6, 2023 at 11:51 AM Gilles Kirouac <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hardware capabilities 2!:7 > > 2!:7'' > avx > JVERSION > Engine: j9.4.0-beta13/j64avx/windows > Build: commercial/2023-02-23T01:20:46/clang-15-0-7/SLEEF=1 > Library: 9.4.16 > Qt IDE: 2.0.3s/6.2.4(6.2.4) > Platform: Win 64 > Installer: J904 install > InstallPath: c:/users/mouton/j904 > Contact: www.jsoftware.com > > =========================================== > 2!:7'' > > JVERSION > Engine: j9.4.2/j64/windows > Build: commercial/2023-04-10T01:23:07/clang-15-0-7/SLEEF=1 > Library: 9.4.21 > Qt IDE: 2.0.3/6.2.4(6.2.4) > Platform: Win 64 > Installer: j9.4 install > InstallPath: c:/users/mouton/j9.4 > Contact: www.jsoftware.com > ''-:2!:7'' > 1 > > =========================================== > > My CPU grows older and loses hardware capabilities, like me!😉 > > According to Intel, my CPU (Xeon® E3-1240 v2) "had" avx. > > ~ Gilles > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
