This certainly made sense when this testing likely happened. There have been a few things that have changed recently, including much more RAM bandwidth (in cases where that was bottlenecking the system), and much more efficient AVX512 hardware (including more on-die resources and optimizations) which might warrant re-running some of them. I guess it's a next-next generation RAxML idea, perhaps? I know ExaML was at least 3 times faster on KNL back in the day, but since then no system has treated double-precision AVX512 as a first class citizen again until Zen 4 and IceLake/Sapphire Rapids.

The above link shows over time the profound differences (including reduced penalties and proportionately greater performance) over time for essentially the same AVX512 code. A modern 12-channel 4800MHz DDR5 Genoa system or a new 60-core Sapphire Rapids system seems to net proportionately more performance from AVX512 in double-precision floating-point math than the sad old Skylake/Cascade Lake Xeons (which were indeed bottlenecked in many ways).

Despite extensive experiments, we never managed to get reasonable speedups with AVX512 compared to AVX2. Hence, AVX512 support was never integrated to RAxML-NG.

@GabeAl: you're right, it mostly concerns libpll, and we do have it on our radar anyway. Still, please feel free to open a corresponding issue in the (new) libpll repository:

May I know how exactly to compile with AVX512? eg: cmake -DENABLE_AVX512=TRUE ?
Thanks.

@GabeAl thanks for the heads up!
Good to know that AMD added AVX512 support as well, and Genoa benchmark results look really impressive!

@amkozlov @GabeAl thanks a lot, both of you. I see. I will consider AMD's CPU next time if my budget can cover them. :)
