Intel® AVX-512 - Writing Packet Processing Software with Intel® AVX-512 Instruction Set Technology Guide

Last Updated: Feb 24, 2022

This paper is the second in a series of white papers that focuses on how to write packet processing software using the Intel® AVX-512 instruction set. This paper describes how Intel® AVX-512 optimizations are enabled in software development frameworks such as DPDK and FD.io. It includes examples of using Intel® AVX-512 in these frameworks as well as the performance benefits obtained, demonstrating performance gains in excess of 300% in micro-benchmarks.
