Using extended processor features in windows drivers. Avx can speed up mathematically complexcompute heavy applications but these applications are uncommon, especially in the consumer space, and even less so with users who use lowerend cpus. So i went to dell and ordered a server with a skylakex microarchitecture. Your cpu will surely support sse2 and thus this dll will be your safe choice. The integral is the surface area below fx and could be approximated by the accumulation of the surface areas of small rectangles, which are drawn below fx. Having twice the vector width avx vs sse or avx512 vs avx, given that the actual hw resources behind the scene scales, should more than offset the slight reduction in clock that intel more or less automatically now use for avx code, given that the problem solved by the code maps well to wide simd.
