if you are targeting more than one specific platform, do you like, include the immintrin.h header and use #ifdef to conditionally use avx512 if it's available on someone's platform?

so then, if i want my code to "explicitly" use avx512, i have to do something like this?

``` void myNotOptimizedThing(my_data* d){ _SPECIAL_CPU_MANUFACTURER_0X3D512(d); } ```

edit: and include some header from the manufacturer most likely?

thanks for that! so it sounds like, if i purchase a chip that supports avx512, and run an operating system and compiler that supports avx512, i can write "plain old c code" with a minimal amount of compiler arguments and compile that code on my machine (aka not just running someone else's binary). and then the full power of avx512 is right there waiting for me? :)

Noob question- must one write avx512 assembly directly by hand, or is this something a c compiler would do for you?

In the event that you don't purchase any physical parts for making controllable robots, you'll find similarities in programming game physics, which really is just a simulation of the world we live in and how to propell an object around that world.
