AVX support on vtune amplifier update5

gassowski · ‎04-13-2012

Hello,
is that AVX is supported in vtune update5 ? We have SandyBridge CPU E5-2680 2.7GHz but I don't know what events can I integrate in my sampling (before I toke SSE events)

In the release notes referred to at the top of the forum, it says that update 8 introduced support for E5 CPUs.

Ok thanks, I toke the update8 but it doesn't work with my license when update 5 runs ?
Must I do a license upgrade ?

If your license hadn't expired on the date when update 8 was released, it should work. The download site normally wouldn't allow you to download an update if it isn't valid according to a license you have registered. The normal license term is 1 year, after which you would have to renew to get access to further updates.
