Description
First of all, yes, I know that here is no forum. But I still have a stupid question. What about command set extensions in general? Which ones are already supported and which ones should be supported? I have now mainly thought of the following ones:
* MMX
* SSE
* SSE2
* SSE3
* SSSE3
* SSE4
* SSE4a
* SSE5
* F16C
* AVX
* CLMUL
* AES
* FMA
* TSX
* BMI
* MPX
* SGX
Many programs and modern compilers use them automatically to speed up certain operations. I don't have a compiler that covers all the options. Maybe a wiki page wouldn't be wrong, because this question will surely come up again and again.
