CPUID and NFD support: AVX_VNNI

[ionutnechita]

Hi NFD Team,

I have ADL CPU, but i not have AVX_VNNI in label list. I have v0.11.0 image and this issue is observed.

This ticket is imported from NFD project. https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/issues/844

cpuid -1 | grep AVX-VNNI AVX-VNNI: AVX VNNI neural network instrs = true This CPU feature is not implemented in NFD?

AVX512VNNI is detected. However, your CPU does not appear to enable this, or it isn't picked up.

Could you post the output from running the latest release binary?

[klauspost]

I do not believe a non-avx512 version of this exists.

[ionutnechita]

I need to reopen this ticket.

For ADL using cpuid-Linux_x86_64_2.0.14.tar.gz:

CPUID LINUX: cpuid-linux-binary.txt

AVX-VNNI: AVX VNNI neural network instrs = true

AVX512 is not supported on this CPU. But AVX-VNNI is supported.

[klauspost]

@ionutnechita Why? Your CPU or OS does not support AVX512, so VNNI cannot be used. there is only avx512 vnni.

[ionutnechita]

And with this referrence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Lake

_AVX-VNNI, a VEX-coded variant of AVX512-VNNI for 256-bit vectors_

[ionutnechita]

I think is necessary to reopen this ticket and review my file: cpuid-linux-binary.txt.

A good day.

It's fine now:

Thank you for this fix.
