Is there a technical reason to select one or the other in our Linux Preferences???
Are you comparing the same input data to see if they both give the same output? Or one is faster? Anything?

Hi!

Just for oddballs like me that's running old cans with glibc versions older than 2.27. ;-)
RxDock is then the only alternative for those machines.

I read in another thread that you're about to try recompiling MarieCurie for AVX512.
That sounds very interesting indeed, although a bit too advanced for me! :-)

I took a glance at the GitLab page now, but I didn't know in what files to look for the code that's using SSE/AVX.
Do you happen to know if MC currently is supporting the "normal" AVX and the AVX-2?
While none of my machines are modern enough to have the AVX-512, some of them at least feature AVX,
and I've got two I5:er that I think will support the AVX2.
Could MC be made to support any type of AVX, and make the best out of the CPU features it can find?

Good luck with the coding and the crunching!!!

Hi Gunnar, Good question but only SiDock can answer that question.
Some projects have the server match a version to the host requesting work. Some may just make a generic version, e.g. see -mtune=generic here:

I think Avx512 is "too much".
