Hello Julian, We have implemented a number of AVX-512 instructions in Valgrind core.
NAS IS benchmark, compiled with AVX-512, runs correctly under Nulgrind. Tests for the implemented AVX-512 instructions (similar to the tests in ./none/tests/amd64/avx2-1.c) also work correctly. For now, neither the test nor the benchmark works under Memcheck, because a lot of new IRs are introduced. And a number of AVX-512 instructions is not implemented yet.
1. What has higher priority, Memcheck correctness or full instruction set coverage? 2. When should we start submitting patches: when everything is added and tested on more benchmarks, or earlier, in order to review a work-in-progress? Thank you for any advice. Regards, Tanya

Hi Tanya, Sorry for the slow reply.

Good. > 1. What has higher priority, Memcheck correctness or full instruction set coverage? Instruction set coverage. Getting Memcheck to handle new IRs is much easier than adding new insn support. > 2.

Even if they don't get landed immediately, they can be looked at by others. In particular I'd like to see what new IROps you had to add. Do you have a bug report (bugs.kde.org) tracking this, to which you can attach the patches? That is the usual way of doing reviews.
