Arguments

None

Default

If option -x or -march is not specified (Linux), or if option /Qx or /arch is not specified (Windows), the default target architecture supports Intel® SSE2 instructions.

Description

This option tells the compiler to generate instructions for the highest instruction set available on the compilation host processor.

The instructions generated by this compiler option differ depending on the compilation host processor.

For more information on other settings for option [Q]x, see that option description.

NOTE:

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.

NOTE:

ifx does not support compilation for 32-bit architectures; only 64-bit instruction set names may be specified for ifx.
