Revisting inclusion criteria and finalizing the instruction set (#203, #343)

omnisip commented 3 years ago

Can we discuss feature detection #356 in conjunction with #203 and #343? If a viable forward-compatible feature detection system can be implemented simply and efficiently as part of the standard, it may alleviate outstanding concerns that features are missing from the initial standard, while making it possible to roll out for those who are ready.

As an extension to the inclusion criteria topic, it helps to have a general consensus on not treating AVX512 support as good evidence of near term hardware support for operations. Relevant to few recent proposals https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/pull/379, https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/pull/351#issuecomment-714224537

Here is a recent announcement on AVX512 not being part of the upcoming Alder Lake platforms. https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/download/intel-architecture-instruction-set-extensions-programming-reference.html
