Sharpcap and AVX extensions

#1

Post by Broz »

Well I ordered a Minisforums GK50 (5030 processor) to run Sharpcap and NINA but that was before reading about the lack of AVX extensions. I use Sharpcap 4.0, so is this going to be a problem? Thanks,

Hi,

currently you should be OK with the 32 bit version of SharpCap (including SC 4.0) - it's the 64 bit version that has problems on machines that do not support AVX.

cheers,

Robin

Thanks robin, I'll switch to the 32 bit version. Do you have any way forward for the 64 bit version in the future?

Hi John,

I think the only way is to ship two versions of the problem piece of code - it's in my TODO list, but will take a bit of time to make it to the top.

thanks,

Robin
