archspec - v0.2.0

This release introduces support for: - [x] Neoverse v1 and generic Armv8.X architectures - [x] Apple M2

Breaking changes

• Compared to v0.1, the naming scheme for graviton chips changed to use generic microarchitecture names. This means that graviton is now named cortex_a72, graviton2 is now named neoverse_n1 and instead of graviton3 we introduced neoverse_v1 (due to being based on archspec-json v0.2)
• Support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 has been dropped (#103)

Features

• Added support for Python 3.11 (#103)
• Speedup microarchitecture comparison (#96)

Bug fixes

• Fixed wrong compiler flags for the Intel classic compiler when targeting x86_64 (due to being based on archspec-json v0.2)
• Removed the umip feature from icelake and cannonlake (due to being based on archspec-json v0.2)

archspec - v0.1.4

This release improves the detection and support for the Apple M1 CPU, both on macOS and on Asahi linux based systems. It also:

• [x] Adds compiler flags for oneAPI Intel compilers
• [x] Improves compiler flags for a64fx

Note: archspec was maintaining an "unofficial" compatibility with Python 2.6. This has been dropped in 478594c9916c01be527568233d102e9d6a0101d1.

• [x] Added a Dockerfile to package archspec into a container image
• [x] A few misnamed features for icelake have been fixed

archspec - Basic command line interface

This release adds a basic command line interface based on click. Right now it just provides ways to query the current host architecture: console $ archspec cpu broadwell but will be expanded in the near future to give direct access to more features that are already in archspec's API and make it a valuable tool for scripting. Other modifications in this release are: - [x] Compilers are not distinguished by version suffix anymore, see #19 - [x] JSON data file has been updated to latest version
