Context: This enables AVX operations by default for Intel/AMD machines which can improve performance of vectorisable operations.
Description of the Change: AVX support is added to Linux x86_64 wheels. In addition, the width of various registers is reduced for many parametric ops by explicitly favouring 64-bit wide operations instead of 128-bit (
T
vsstd::complex<T>
) where applicable.Benefits: Improves overall runtime performance.
Possible Drawbacks: Machines not supporting AVX (pre-2011) will require manual builds to run lightning.
