Because kernel still returns pni I think that class_plan should also be changed to use pni instead of sse3.

Dne 8.8.2013 19:50, Eric J Korpela napsal(a):
PNI includes more than SSE related instructions.  That's probably why it's
referred to as PNI rather than SSE3

At least on the Linux 3.8 VM I have immediate access to, it is still
referred by PNI, not SSE3. Whether that should fully determine how it's
called, I'm not sure. It's proper name, and the one that most people know
it by, is properly SSE3.

I don't believe the Linux kernel has changed.

At the time that the code was written it also happened to be what the
Linux kernel was returning for the same instruction set in the CPU

area of /proc/cpuinfo.

We should update it if the Linux kernel has changed.

My goal was to be consistent across platforms.

Well Boinc is detecting SSE3 if it’s present and usable – but one
called it “pni” instead of SSE3 !?!
Not 'one' called it that, but Intel themselves.

"SSE3, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3, also known by its Intel code name
Prescott New Instructions (PNI)"
