Test all Intel CPUs in Travis CI via SDE #122
Description
@devinamatthews You will probably like this...
Intel SDE supports no less than the following list of architectures:
-quark Set chip-check and CPUID for Intel(R) Quark
-p4 Set chip-check and CPUID for Pentium4
-p4p Set chip-check and CPUID for Pentium4 Prescott
-mrm Set chip-check and CPUID for Merom
-pnr Set chip-check and CPUID for Penryn
-nhm Set chip-check and CPUID for Nehalem
-wsm Set chip-check and CPUID for Westmere
-snb Set chip-check and CPUID for Sandy Bridge
-ivb Set chip-check and CPUID for Ivy Bridge
-hsw Set chip-check and CPUID for Haswell
-bdw Set chip-check and CPUID for Broadwell
-skx Set chip-check and CPUID for Skylake Server
-skl Set chip-check and CPUID for Skylake Client
-cnl Set chip-check and CPUID for Cannonlake
-knl Set chip-check and CPUID for Knights Landing
-slt Set chip-check and CPUID for Saltwell
-slm Set chip-check and CPUID for Silvermont
-glm Set chip-check and CPUID for Goldmont
This means that one can run native binaries for these processors on other processors, e.g. whatever Travis CI happens to be using.
I use it on a daily basis to emulate KNL on HSW. It will allow us to set RUN_TEST=1 for SNB, HSW, KNL, etc.
