register file size is 5 bits (32 registers), whilst the "Extended"
variant of RVV specifies 8 bits (256 registers) and has yet to
be published.
-* One big difference: there are only two possible predication
- registers in RVV "Base". Through the "indirect" method, Simple-V
- provides a key-value CSR table that allows (arbitrarily) up to 16 (TBD)
- of either the floating-point or integer registers to be marked as
- "predicated" (key), and if so, which integer register to use as the
- predication mask (value).
