Description
Description
This has been suggested in #15159 by @Disservin, and seems to be a reasonable thing to do, given that at least current GH runners do not support AVX-512. And even if performance is slow (might take twice as long), a single or maybe two nightly jobs should be okay.
Given that is not really related to #15159, especially since #15301 has been merged, I'm dropping this a new feature request.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the repository's existing GitHub Actions workflows and determine how AVX-512 emulation can run on GitHub runners; done means one or two nightly jobs execute successfully with that emulation.
