mtune, tune
Performs optimizations for specific processors but does not cause extended instruction sets to be used (unlike -march).
Syntax
Linux: |
-mtune=processor |
Windows: |
/tune:processor |
Arguments
processor |
Is the processor for which the compiler should perform optimizations. Possible values are:
|
Default
generic |
Code is generated for the compiler's default behavior. |
Description
This option performs optimizations for specific processors but does not cause extended instruction sets to be used (unlike -march).
The resulting executable is backwards compatible and generated code is optimized for specific processors. For example, code generated with -mtune=core2 or /tune:core2 runs correctly on 4th Generation Intel® Core™ processors, but it might not run as fast as if it had been generated using -mtune=haswell or /tune:haswell.
Code generated with -mtune=haswell (/tune:haswell) or -mtune=core-avx2 (/tune:core-avx2) will also run correctly on Intel® Core™2 processors, but it might not run as fast as if it had been generated using -mtune=core2 or /tune:core2.
This is in contrast to code generated with -march=core-avx2 or /arch:core-avx2, which will not run correctly on older processors such as Intel® Core™2 processors.
This option only applies to host compilation. When offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation. Offloading can only be enabled when using ifx.
ifx does not support compilation for 32-bit architectures; only processor values for 64-bit instruction sets may be specified for ifx.
