Good to know that someone is trying to use my framework for their own benefit.

You need to call CpuSupportsAvx() to determine if the CPU has AVX support. This is declared in Worker.h. If it returns false then you need to code with the FPU or SSE routines.

I suggest that you a look at avx-asm-x86.h as well as CullenWoodallWorker.cpp to help familiarize yourself with the AVX routines.

One other caveat is that you cannot use the AVX code and have data of type double (double * is fine). This is because the AVX routines don't save the xmm registers upon entry and restore them upon exit. I'll address that limitation in an upcoming release.
