From 1838af33997daa7a2093e3aa7bf95a2d0c9578bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhihong Wang Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 19:00:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] config: make AVX and AVX512 configurable Making AVX and AVX512 configurable is useful for performance and power testing. The similar kernel patch at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9618883/. AVX512 support like in rte_memcpy has been in DPDK since 16.04, but it's still unproven in rich use cases in hardware. Therefore it's marked as experimental for now, will enable it after enough field test and possible optimization.
