**Simple-V** is a Scalable Vector ISA Extension specifically tailored
for the uniquely powerful capabilities of the Power ISA. **SVP64**
is the instruction set format.
+We invented Simple-V to be simple because we don't like complicated.
**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
All implementations regardless of back-end capability may execute the exact
same binaries *(this is known to be extremely important to the Power ISA
ecosystem)*.

*If not done as carefully as SVP64, the addition of any other Scalable
Vector Extension would require a significant number of opcodes, putting
further pressure on Major Opcode space which was never designed with
through explicit predicate masking, which increases instruction count in
hot-loops.
