Intel® Advisor Help

Column: Vector ISA

This column enables you to view the highest vector ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) used in the loop among ISAs used for individual instructions.

ISA higher than the ISA of your current hardware appears when you add corresponding codepaths with x, Qx / ax, Qax compiler options. To see ISA of non-executed codepaths, enable the Intel® Advisor Analyze non-executed codepaths option in Intel® Advisor Project Properties (find link to Help topic in See Also).
