Frequently asked question
In ArcGIS Pro 3.0, several geoprocessing tools require Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set extensions. These instructions improve the runtime of the tools by ten times or more in typical conditions by performing simultaneous scalar operations using vector math operations.
The following geoprocessing tools require a processor (CPU) that supports AVX instructions:
If the processor running the tool does not support AVX, Error 110472 is returned.
Error 110472: Invalid hardware architecture was detected. This tool uses Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set extensions for mathematical operations. Your processor does not support these instructions.
The vast majority of Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) desktop/laptop processors manufactured since 2011 support AVX instructions. There are various expansions to AVX, such as AVX2 and AVX-512, but these expansions are not required and are not used by the tools.
