I am one of the maintainers of the ntl package, which is used by
some
numeric applications (e.g., Macaulay2 and sagemath). Upstream
supports use of the PCLMUL instruction, the AVX instructions, and the
FMA instructions to speed up various computations. We can't use any
of those in Fedora, since we have to support a baseline x86_64.
Note that FMA may affect precision so tests which base on float number
can fail.
