Hi friends! Say someone was going to give a talk on the new #AVX10 extensions in the context of #HPC, what would you want to hear about?

Definitely not outlining under working title
"AVX10 for HPC, x86_64 returns to Sanity*"
DMs/replies with comments/suggestions appreciated 😊

Something doesn't fit in the register article covering AVX10.

An #Intel fellow comments that AVX10 requires 256 bit or larger implementations, yet there's an *explicit* carve out in the spec for 128 bit implementations, & that carve out means that you *must* plan for AVX10.N/128, instead of having a true baseline of AVX10.N/256

the specific passage is "[... ] 256 bit instructions will be the minimum width required by the AVX10 instruction set."

Intel #AVX10 is a new #ISA that includes "all the richness" of #AVX512 and additional features/capabilities while being able to work for both P/E cores. Intel says AVX10 will be "the vector ISA of choice" moving forward.Very exciting from hardware perspective with Intel's #opensource track record around new ISA support it means we'll likely start seeing software enablement preparations begin soon so that everything is upstream and ready by time supported processors ship.

💡 Interesting news... Intel AVX-512 becomes AVX10

I remember a year or two ago, Pixar had worked with Intel to take advantage of AVX-512 in its XPU tech, but then Intel seemed to limit AVX-512 support to only a few of its CPUs. AVX10 seems like good news 👍
