- ``CPU``
On the X86 platform, the driver checks if the CPU supports AVX2.
If it's supported, AVX2 paths will be chosen. If not, SSE is chosen.
+ If the CPU supports AVX512 and EAL argument ``--force-max-simd-bitwidth``
+ is set to 512, AVX512 paths will be chosen.
- ``Offload features``
- The supported HW offload features are described in the document ice_vec.ini.
+ The supported HW offload features are described in the document ice.ini,
+ A value "P" means the offload feature is not supported by vector path.
If any not supported features are used, ICE vector PMD is disabled and the
normal paths are chosen.
