This is a way to give Vector and Predication Context to a group of
-standard scalar RISC-V instructions, in a highly compact form.
+standard scalar RISC-V instructions, in a highly compact form. Program Execution Order is still preserved (unlike VLIW), just with "context" that would otherwise require much longer instructions.
The format is:
