Does not detect intel-sde. #42

Open MarekKnapek opened 6 months ago

MarekKnapek commented 6 months ago

intel-sde is Intel® Software Development Emulator (Intel® SDE) I have no idea how to detect it.

I've never heard of that piece of software if I'm honest. Can you give me more information such as what OS you used?

From a bit of research, there are a few ways to detect Intel-SDE from the looks of it. I can definitely try to add it and work on this, but it may take some time.

I used it on Windows. I developed an application that could detect the AVX512F instruction set, and if present, use it to speed up some cryptography operations. As my computer lack the AVX512 I used this tool to emulate newer processor in order to test my software. I'm using the Windows Server 2022 x64 operating system.

Aaaand my computer itself is an virtual computer running in Hetzner data center on top of KVM technology. And your tool provides inconsistent report. But this might be separate issue https://github.com/kernelwernel/VMAware/issues/43.
