-# Introduction
+# Introduction to Simple-V
This proposal is to extend the Power ISA with an Abstract RISC-Paradigm
Vectorisation Concept that may be applied to **all and any** suitable
Scalar instructions, present and future, in the Scalar Power ISA.
**It is not a Vector ISA and does not add Vector opcodes of any kind**.
+A variant of Simple-V was originally invented in 1994 by Peter Hsu
+(Architect of the MIPS R8000) but was dropped as MIPS did not have an
+Out-of-Order Microarchitecture.
