 ### Enable SIMD Optimization
 SIMD(Single Instruction/Multiple Data) Optimization is enabled by default on Linux and Mac which boosts the performance
-by enabling `AVX2` on `x86 architecture` and `NEON` on `ARM64 architecture` while building the Faiss library. But to enable SIMD, the underlying processor
-should support this (AVX2 or NEON). It can be disabled by setting the parameter `simd.enabled` to `false`. As of now, it is not supported on Windows OS.
+by enabling `AVX2` and `AVX512` on `x86 architecture` and `NEON` on `ARM64 architecture` where applicable while building the Faiss library. But to enable SIMD,
+the underlying processor should support these capabilities (AVX512, AVX2 or NEON). It can be disabled by setting the parameter `avx2.enabled` to `false` and
+`avx512.enabled` to `false`. If your processor supports `AVX512` or `AVX2`, they can be set by enabling the setting . By default, these values are enabled on 
+OpenSearch. Some exceptions: As of now, SIMD support is not supported on Windows OS, and AVX512 is not present on MAC systems due to hardware not supporting the
+feature.
