(Cray-1, NEC SX-Aurora) and GPUs. Keeps to a strict uniform RISC paradigm,
leveraging a scalar ISA by using "Prefixing".
\textbf{No dedicated vector opcodes exist in SV, at all}.
+SVP64 uses 25\% of the Power ISA v3.1 64-bit Prefix space (EXT001) to create
+the SV Vectorisation Context for the 32-bit Scalar Suffix.

Main design principles
ISAs. No more separate vector instructions.

-\subsubsection{Prefix 64 - SVP64}
-
-SVP64, is a specification designed to solve the problems caused by
-SIMD implementations by:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Simplifying the hardware design
- \item Reducing maintenance overhead
- \item Reducing code size and power consumption
- \item Easier for compilers, coders, documentation
- \item Time to support platform is a fraction of conventional SIMD
- (Less money on R\&D, faster to deliver)
-\end{itemize}
