AVX Support in your VPS/Server

@girish said in AVX Support in your VPS/Server:
My Netcup server doesn't have AVX.
Neither do mine.
My Hetzner Cloud VPS servers do though.
As per that article, it's a bit shitty of people to require this.
But this seems to me to be another reason for me to consolidate my various small VPS servers on Netcup/ Hetzner into one dedicated Hetzner Server.

@privsec Not currently but this will be a problem when we upgrade the mongodb addon to use Mongo 5.x and beyond. Currently, it is on Mongo 4.4 which is reaching end of life sometime next year.
So, unfortunately, we have no choice but to stop supporting servers which have no AVX when we upgrade Mongo.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i avx
I have avx on my system.
AVX was launched ~2011 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions)If a new system doesn't support avx, it's likely a celeron system or a lower speced system.
