Thanks for sharing your perspective, Willy. I agree that if your application is so sensitive that you need to hand-code your own memcmp, then linking with (any) new version of (any) dynamic library is a risk you must consider carefully.
AMX does the type of matrix multiplication that AI algorithms use. In the unlikely event that you or one of the libraries you call are doing the same, then you will be very happy with AMX. Otherwise, you'll probably not use it. I acknowledge the issue with the toolchain transparently using AVX-512 for copying data, and how that approach impacted systems with a poor AVX-512 hardware implementation. FWIW. I'm not aware of any plans to implicitly use AMX this way, and I'm not aware of any non-Xeon AMX implementations in the near future. cheers, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
