patch-AuthenticAMD is a utility to patch binaries
generated by the Intel C++ compiler to get the
maximum performance on AMD CPUs. The Intel C++
compiler adds to generated binaries a CPUID test
that looks if they are executed on an Intel CPU,
so the binaries don't run with full optimizations
on non-Intel CPUs. This utility patches such CPUID
tests, so the binaries can run on an AMD CPU as if
they were on a Intel CPU. It has been tested on
Linux with Intel C++ compiler 10.1 (it may work
with future releases of ICC). It may also work
with a Fortran compiler if it has the same CPUID
test, but this is not confirmed.
