Issue Details

What processor accelerators does Vision Builder uses, like AVX2, 3dNow, Neon, SSE4, etc? So that we can better pick a computer with good stats for processing.

Solution

Vision Builder AI is a LabVIEW-based application (executable). For image processing and analysis, it uses Vision Development Module library (VDM). When running on Intel or AMD processors, VDM algorithms might take advantage of the CPU SIMD instruction sets such as MMX, SSE, and SSE2 to improve performance. Some VDM algorithms might also take advantage of AVX or AVX2 extensions when available. VDM does not include any GPU acceleration (such as NVIDIA CUDA for example).
