Default

OFF

No auto-dispatch code is generated. Feature-specific code is generated and is controlled by the setting of the following compiler options:

  • Linux*: -m and -x

  • Windows*: /arch and /Qx

  • macOS: -x

Description

This option tells the compiler to generate multiple, feature-specific auto-dispatch code paths for Intel® processors if there is a performance benefit. It also generates a baseline code path. The Intel feature-specific auto-dispatch path is usually more optimized than the baseline path. Other options, such as O3, control how much optimization is performed on the baseline path.

The baseline code path is determined by the architecture specified by options -m or -x (Linux* and macOS) or options /arch or /Qx (Windows*). While there are defaults for the [Q]x option that depend on the operating system being used, you can specify an architecture and optimization level for the baseline code that is higher or lower than the default. The specified architecture becomes the effective minimum architecture for the baseline code path.

If you specify both the [Q]ax and [Q]x options, the baseline code will only execute on Intel® processors compatible with the setting specified for the [Q]x.

If you specify both the -ax and -m options (Linux and macOS) or the /Qax and /arch options (Windows), the baseline code will execute on non-Intel® processors compatible with the setting specified for the -m or /arch option.

A Non-Intel® baseline and an Intel® baseline have the same set of optimizations enabled, and the default for both is SSE4.2 for x86-based architectures.

If you specify both the -ax and -march options (Linux and macOS), or the /Qax and /arch options (Windows), the compiler will not generate Intel-specific instructions. This is because specifying -march disables -ax and specifying /arch disables /Qax.

The [Q]ax option tells the compiler to find opportunities to generate separate versions of functions that take advantage of features of the specified instruction features.

If the compiler finds such an opportunity, it first checks whether generating a feature-specific version of a function is likely to result in a performance gain. If this is the case, the compiler generates both a feature-specific version of a function and a baseline version of the function. At run time, one of the versions is chosen to execute, depending on the Intel® processor in use. In this way, the program can benefit from performance gains on more advanced Intel processors, while still working properly on older processors and non-Intel processors. A non-Intel processor always executes the baseline code path.

You can use more than one of the feature values by combining them. For example, you can specify -axSSE4.1,SSSE3 (Linux and macOS) or /QaxSSE4.1,SSSE3 (Windows). You cannot combine the old style, deprecated options and the new options. For example, you cannot specify -axSSE4.1,T (Linux and macOS) or /QaxSSE4.1,T (Windows).
