# PetscSSEIsEnabled

Determines if Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) to the x86 instruction set can be used. Some operating systems do not allow the use of these instructions despite hardware availability.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"
    static PetscTruth petsc_sse_local_is_untested  = PETSC_TRUE;
    static PetscTruth petsc_sse_enabled_local      = PETSC_FALSE;
    static PetscTruth petsc_sse_global_is_untested = PETSC_TRUE;
    static PetscTruth petsc_sse_enabled_global     = PETSC_FALSE;
    int PetscSSEIsEnabled(MPI_Comm comm,PetscTruth *lflag,PetscTruth *gflag)

Collective on MPI_Comm

### Input Parameter

comm -the MPI Communicator

### Output Parameters

lflag -Local Flag: PETSC_TRUE if enabled in this process
gflag -Global Flag: PETSC_TRUE if enabled for all processes in comm

### Notes

PETSC_NULL can be specified for lflag or gflag if either of these values are not desired.

### Options Database Keys

-disable_sse -Disable use of hand tuned Intel SSE implementations
