### Using the optimised Wilson Dslash kernels
Beside the generic implementation using stencils, GRID has optimised version of the Dslash kernels (for Wilson and DWF fermions).
Flags at runtime can be used for the optimised paths
| Flag | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `--dslash-generic` | This is the default option and used the implementation with stencils |
| `--dslash-unroll` | This explicitly unroll the colour loops. It is tied to `Nc=3` |
| `--dslash-asm` | This is specific for AVX512-F architectures and `Nc=3` |
