Right now it’s a lottery if the test ends up executing on a machine with that functionality, which could mean that the test never or very rarely actually does end up running. However, there’s probably a risk that doing this would make some machines bottlenecks for testing, so may not be a good idea in the end…

+1 to this feature!

Especially machines with AVX512 support seem to be quite rare in our test infra.
