The GNU C library “glibc” gets another round of AVX-512 optimizations, which can benefit users with Intel’s AVX-512 processors or AMD Zen 4. AVX-512 is a SIMD instruction used to increase the performance of the CPU when performing certain tasks. Intel engineer Sunil K Pandey developed the Enhanced Vector Extensions EVEX512 version of the memchr, rawmemchr and wmemchr functions for Glibc, memchr, rawmemchr and…
