Validate Binaries

Verify that voxtype binaries don't contain forbidden CPU instructions that would cause crashes on older CPUs.

What This Checks

Binary Must NOT have Must have

AVX2 zmm registers, AVX-512 EVEX, GFNI

Vulkan zmm registers, AVX-512 EVEX, GFNI

AVX-512

zmm registers (confirms optimization)

Forbidden Instructions

  • zmm registers - 512-bit AVX-512 registers

  • vpternlog , vpermt2 , vpblendm

  • AVX-512 specific

  • {1to4} , {1to8} , {1to16}

  • AVX-512 broadcast syntax

  • vgf2p8 , gf2p8

  • GFNI instructions (not on Zen 3)

Usage

When asked to validate binaries:

  • Determine the version from context or ask

  • Find binaries in releases/${VERSION}/

  • Run objdump checks on each binary

  • Report pass/fail for each

Validation Commands

Set version

VERSION=0.4.14

Check AVX2 binary (should be 0 for all)

echo "=== AVX2 Binary ===" objdump -d releases/${VERSION}/voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-avx2 | grep -c zmm || echo "zmm: 0" objdump -d releases/${VERSION}/voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-avx2 | grep -cE 'vpternlog|vpermt2|vpblendm' || echo "AVX-512 ops: 0" objdump -d releases/${VERSION}/voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-avx2 | grep -cE 'vgf2p8|gf2p8' || echo "GFNI: 0"

Check Vulkan binary (should be 0 for all)

echo "=== Vulkan Binary ===" objdump -d releases/${VERSION}/voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-vulkan | grep -c zmm || echo "zmm: 0" objdump -d releases/${VERSION}/voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-vulkan | grep -cE 'vgf2p8|gf2p8' || echo "GFNI: 0"

Check AVX-512 binary (should be > 0)

echo "=== AVX-512 Binary ===" objdump -d releases/${VERSION}/voxtype-${VERSION}-linux-x86_64-avx512 | grep -c zmm

Interpreting Results

PASS conditions:

  • AVX2: All counts are 0

  • Vulkan: All counts are 0

  • AVX-512: zmm count > 0

FAIL conditions:

  • AVX2 or Vulkan has any zmm/GFNI instructions

  • AVX-512 has 0 zmm instructions (not optimized)

If validation fails, the Docker build cache is likely stale. Recommend:

docker compose -f docker-compose.build.yml build --no-cache avx2 vulkan
