for several decades, and advanced programmers are comfortable with the
practice.
-**Roadmap summary of Advanced SVP64**
-
-The future direction for SVP64, then, is:
-
-* To overcome its current limitation of REMAP Schedules being
- restricted to Register Files, leveraging the Snitch-style
- register interception "tagging" technique.
-* To adopt ZOLC and merge REMAP Schedules into ZOLC
-* To bring OpenCAPI Memory Access into ZOLC as a first-level
- concept that mirrors Snitch's Coherent Memory interception
-* To add the Graph-Node Walking Capability of Extra-V
- to ZOLC / SVREMAP
-* To make it possible, in a combination of hardware and software,
- to easily identify ZOLC / SVREMAP Blocks
- that may be transparently pushed down closer to Memory, for
- localised distributed parallel execution, by OpenCAPI-aware PEs,
- exploiting both the Deterministic nature of ZOLC / SVREMAP
- combined with the Cache-Coherent nature of OpenCAPI,
- to the maximum extent possible.
-* To make the exploitation of this powerful solution as simple
- and straightforward as possible for Software Engineers to use,
- in standard common-usage compilers, gcc and llvm.
-* To propose extensions to Public Standards that allow all of
- the above to become part of everyday ubiquitous mass-volume
- computing.
-
-Even the first of these - merging Snitch-style register tagging
-into SVP64 - would
-expand SVP64's capability for Matrices, currently limited to
-around 5x7 to 6x6 Matrices and constrained by the size of
-the register files (128 64-bit entries), to arbitrary (massive) sizes.

**Use-case: Matrix and Convolutions**
Imagine a large Matrix scenario, with several values close to zero that
may be achieved without having to pass unnecessary data through
L1/L2/L3 Caches only to find, at the CPU, that it is zero.

Bottom line is that there is a clear roadmap towards solving a long
