+
+## Three-Tier Build Strategy
+
+| Target | Dockerfile | RUSTFLAGS | CPU features | Use case |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Portable (AVX2)** | `Dockerfile` | `-C target-cpu=x86-64-v3` | SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, FMA, BMI1/2 | GitHub CI, general servers, cloud VMs |
+| **AVX-512 pinned** | `Dockerfile.avx512` | `-C target-cpu=x86-64-v4` | + AVX-512F/BW/CD/DQ/VL | Skylake-X, Ice Lake, Sapphire Rapids, EPYC Genoa |
+| **Local dev** | `.cargo/config.toml` | (per-repo) | Whatever the developer's CPU supports | Developer machines |
+
+## How SIMD Dispatch Works
+
+ndarray uses a **two-layer dispatch** model:
+
+### Layer 1: Compile-time (`cfg(target_feature)`)
+
+When built with `target-cpu=x86-64-v4`, the compiler enables AVX-512
+intrinsics at compile time. Types in `simd_avx512.rs` use native `__m512`
+registers — zero overhead, everything inlined.
+
+When built with `target-cpu=x86-64-v3`, AVX-512 intrinsics are NOT available
+at compile time. The polyfill in `simd_avx2.rs` provides the same API (`F32x16`,
+`U8x64`, etc.) using pairs of `__m256` operations or scalar loops.
+
+### Layer 2: Runtime detection (`LazyLock<Tier>`)
+
+Regardless of compile target, `src/simd.rs` detects the CPU at startup:
+
+```rust
+static TIER: LazyLock<Tier> = LazyLock::new(|| {
+    if is_x86_feature_detected!("avx512f") { return Tier::Avx512; }
+    if is_x86_feature_detected!("avx2")    { return Tier::Avx2; }
+    #[cfg(target_arch = "aarch64")]
+    if is_aarch64_feature_detected!("dotprod") { return Tier::NeonDotProd; }
+    Tier::Scalar
+});
+```
+
+Functions marked `#[target_feature(enable = "avx512f")]` are compiled into
+the binary even at `-C target-cpu=x86-64-v3` and dispatched at runtime via
+the tier detection. This means an AVX2-compiled binary **still uses AVX-512
+kernels** when running on AVX-512 hardware — the difference is that the
+generic `F32x16` / `U8x64` types use the AVX2 fallback (pairs of 256-bit
+ops) rather than native 512-bit registers.
+
+### What this means in practice
+
+```
+x86-64-v3 binary on AVX-512 hardware:
+  F32x16::mul_add     → AVX2 fallback (2× _mm256_fmadd_ps)
+  hamming_distance_raw → AVX-512 VPOPCNTDQ (runtime-dispatched)
+  bitwise::popcount    → AVX-512 VPOPCNTDQ (runtime-dispatched)
+  ┌───────────────────────────────────┐
+  │ Generic SIMD types: AVX2 path     │ ← compile-time
+  │ Per-function kernels: AVX-512     │ ← runtime-detected
+  └───────────────────────────────────┘
+
+x86-64-v4 binary on AVX-512 hardware:
+  F32x16::mul_add     → native __m512 (_mm512_fmadd_ps)
+  hamming_distance_raw → same AVX-512 VPOPCNTDQ
+  ┌───────────────────────────────────┐
+  │ Everything: AVX-512 native        │ ← compile-time + runtime
+  └───────────────────────────────────┘
+  ~24% faster overall (no 256→512 splitting overhead)
+```
+
+## AMX Detection (Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions)
+
+AMX is NOT part of any `target-cpu` level. It requires:
+1. CPUID check (AMX-TILE + AMX-INT8 + AMX-BF16 leaves)
+2. OS support via `_xgetbv(0)` bits 17/18 (XTILECFG + XTILEDATA)
+3. Linux: `prctl(ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM)` to enable tile registers
+
+Detection lives in `ndarray::hpc::amx_matmul::amx_available()`.
+AMX kernels are always compiled in (they use inline assembly) and
+gated at runtime. They work with any `-C target-cpu` setting.
+
+## NEON (ARM / aarch64)
+
+NEON is mandatory on aarch64 — always available. The distinction is:
+- **NEON baseline** (ARMv8.0): `float32x4_t`, 4-wide f32
+- **NEON dotprod** (ARMv8.2+, Pi 5 / A76+): `vdotq_s32`, 4× int8 throughput
+
+Detection: `is_aarch64_feature_detected!("dotprod")` in `simd.rs`.
+
+## Choosing the Right Dockerfile
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Do you know your deployment hardware?           │
+├───────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┤
+│ No / Mixed    │ Use Dockerfile (AVX2 default)   │
+│ AVX-512 only  │ Use Dockerfile.avx512 (+24%)    │
+│ ARM / Pi      │ Use Dockerfile (NEON auto)      │
+└───────────────┴─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `RUSTFLAGS` | (see Dockerfile) | Compiler flags including `-C target-cpu=...` |
+| `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS` | (all cores) | Parallel compilation — reduce if OOM |
+
+## Verifying CPU Features at Runtime
+
+```bash
+# Inside the container:
+cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -oP 'avx512\w+' | sort -u
+# Or via Rust:
+cargo run --example simd_caps  # prints detected SIMD tier
+```
+
+## Build Examples
+
+```bash
+# Portable (AVX2) — safe for GitHub CI, most cloud VMs
+docker build -t ndarray-test .
+
+# AVX-512 pinned — Sapphire Rapids, Ice Lake, EPYC Genoa
+docker build -f Dockerfile.avx512 -t ndarray-avx512 .
+
+# Override CPU target at build time (e.g., baseline for maximum compat)
+docker build --build-arg RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=x86-64" -t ndarray-compat .
+```
