Simple-V is a Scalable Vector ISA Extension specifically for the Power ISA.
It is extremely important to think of Simple-V as a 2-Dimensional ISA:
instructions vertical and registers horizontal otherwise it will be
through explicit predicate masks which increases instruction count in
hot-loops.
+**Simple-V does not modify harm or corrupt the existing Power ISA** and does not
+interfere with an existing system. It needs only a small allocation of opcodes (five) to implement, whereas any other Vector implementation would
+require an intrusive fundamental overhaul of the Power ISA.
+
+We invented Simple-V to be simple because we don't like complicated.
