Emulation of processor instructions #821
Comments
While it might be possible to include an opcode emulator, it would be tragically slow. Are you sure that you want to do this? |
The thing is, I have ancient computers. Horizon Client 8.12 runs on some of them, but not on others. We tried to start in different variants, build with different parameters - it didn't help. On the thick client the same problem. We found out that 8.3 requires additional instructions AVX, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2 (maybe). I have a lot of computers that do not support these instructions - about half of all computers. |
Interesting situation: on an old computer (Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5700) running Linux, to run Horizon Client 8.12 has not yet succeeded in any way - tried different distributions. Meanwhile, we installed Windows 10 and everything works on it - Client 8.12 installed normally and connects to VDI normally! On a separate note, on computers with newer processors (core i3+) the 8.12 client installs normally in Thinstation and works fine. |
We have quite a few computers on older processors - not yet supporting SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX. Horizon Clients 8.3+ do not work without these instructions.
Is it possible to activate or enable emulation of these instructions in thinstation?
I found information that it can be done this way:
enable_avx_emulation=true
enable_sse41_emulation=true
enable_sse42_emulation=true
But I have doubts that it will work.
Maybe someone has done something like this before and can suggest something useful.
