From d9961cf6e7f5e99b14fae1f2b7fb00fa62bc8c62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "1091761+wx257osn2@users.noreply.github.com" <1091761+wx257osn2@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 05:45:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Remove an Outdated Description in INSTALL.md (#2391) Summary: According to [`CMakeLists.txt`](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/blob/442d9f4a2d43e2ada6423e8e4e3414131dea849d/CMakeLists.txt#L20), current `faiss` doesn't recognize `sse4` as `FAISS_OPT_LEVEL` . I've read `CMakeLists.txt`s and confirmed that (current `faiss` treats `sse4` as same as `generic`), so this PR removes the description of this outdated option from `INSTALL.md` . This PR contains only document update, so this doesn't affect the software behavior.
