# Simple-V Resources
* No new Interrupt types are required.
-* Register numbers are extended to 128 (including CR Fields).
+* GPR FPR and CR Field Register numbers are extended to 128.
A future version may extend to 256 or beyond [^extend]
+* (A future version or other Stakeholder *may* wish to drop Simple-V
+ onto VSX: extension of the number of VSX registers will be discussed at that
+ time)
* 24-bits are needed within the main SVP64 Prefix (equivalent to a 2-bit XO)
* Another 24-bit (a second 2-bit XO) is needed for a planned future encoding, currently
named "SVP64-Single" [^likeext001]
-* A third 24-bits (third 2-bit XO) is strongly recommended to be **reserved**
+* A third 24-bits (third 2-bit XO) is strongly recommended to be **reserved**comprehensive
+* To hold all Vector Context, five SPRs are needed for userspace (MSR.PR=1 Problem State).
+ If Supervisor and Hypervisor mode are to also support Simple-V they will correspondingly
+ need five SPRs each.
+
+# SVP64 24-bit Prefix
+
+The SVP64 24-bit Prefix provides several options
+
+* Due to a concept called "Element-width Overrides
+
[^extend]: Prefix opcode space **must** be reserved in advance to to so, in order to avoid the catastrophic binary-incompatibility mistake made by RISC-V RVV and ARM SVE/2
[^likeext001]: SVP64-Single is remarkably similar to the "bit 1" of EXT001 being set to indicate that the 64-bits is to be allocated in full to a new encoding, but in fact it still embeds v3.0 Scalar operations.
