from 2023-02 your CPU must support AVX2

Mike Potashnick

All, I just want to share the article below:

Event Log Notes:,


As of version 2023.02, AVX2 instruction support is required on client and server machines. For MT customers with machines that do not have AVX2 instruction support available on the CPU, Application Studio may fail to launch when connecting to Cloud with an error message, such as the one referenced in linked KB article.

This is significant for developers of App Studio reports who have slightly older hardware, which can no longer be used for App Studio development.

If you get an error message telling you cannot access your databases and - Please check logs... Then you need to run something like CPU-Z which will confirm that your CPU does not have AVX2, as you can see below from my computer!!

:-(

I don't think many people will hit the issue. AVX2 support was added to processors in 2013 according to Wikipedia - see below in italics.  Most corporates replace laptops after 3 years.

AVX2 (also known as Haswell New Instructions) expands most integer commands to 256 bits and introduces new instructions. They were first supported by Intel with the Haswell processor, which shipped in 2013.
