--- Comment #105 from Petr <kobalicek.p...@gmail.com> ---
BTW can anyone clarify the following:

  - What happened to the work Tanya did / what happened to Tanya?
  - If Intel wanted to sponsor AVX-512 support and the one who was working on
it lost interest or cannot do it anymore (Russia?); is Intel still willing to
sponsor somebody else who would be able to do it?
  - If Intel is not interested anymore, is there any other company (or multiple
companies) willing to sponsor the AVX-512 support?

I don't think this is about manpower, it's more about sponsoring the effort as
AVX-512 is pretty comprehensive ISA.

What I personally like on valgrind is that it runs unmodified binaries - it can
even run JIT generated code, which is amazing for my own use cases, but the
lack of AVX-512 support is getting in the way more and more as a lot of
existing software adds support for AVX-512. You can say "compile without
AVX-512", but that means you cannot test AVX-512 code, which means valgrind
cannot be used to find problems in software that supports AVX-512.
