+# Friday 24th November
+
+- A meeting with Dmitry, David, James, Luke, and Andrey to explain the
+new grants for extending SV for RISC-V.
+
+Main points to take away:
+- There will be two new grants.
+- Meeting on Tuesday will be used for planning the binutils grant.
+Link to next week's meeting: [[meetings/sync_up/sync_up_2023-11-28]]
+
+## New SV Expansion Grant
+
+- [[nlnet_2023_simplev_riscv]]
+
+The expansion grant. Primary focus on:
+
+- Add RISC-V ISA support to ISACAller.
+- Extend `svanalysis.py` for characterising RISC-V instructions
+(number of reg ports, insn type, etc.). Link to existing
+[svanalysis.py](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=blob;f=src/openpower/sv/sv_analysis.py;h=21778ad02d78c4f7ef5b6df93e096f4abbe365ad;hb=HEAD)
+- Extending existing sv for of the RISC-V Spike sim to support
+full feature set of SimpleV. Link to LibreSOC'
+[sv spike repo](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=riscv-isa-sim.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/sv)
+
+## New Binutils Grant
+
+- [[nlnet_2023_svp64_riscv_binutils]]
+
+- Primarily Dmitry doing most of the work.
+
+## Primary Tasks
+
+  1. Finish writing libopid, some of the work started 4 months ago
+(no RfPs will be submitted for that work). Link to
+[repo](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=mdis.git;a=summary)
+  2. Convert existing PowerISA (SFFS) `isndb` instruction database to libopid.
+  3. Create RISC-V instruction database using libopid.
+  4. Implement SVP64 PowerISA in libopid.
+  5. Implement SV for RISC-V in libopid.
+     - SVP32 (16+16) - 16-bit prefix for 16-bit compressed instructions.
+     - SVP48 (16+32) - 16-bit prefix for 32-bit instructions.
+     - SVP64 (32+32) - 32-bit prefix for 64-bit instructions.
+
+The 16-bit prefix saves instruction space in memory
+(but with limited feature set).
+
+The 32-bit prefix gives full access to SimpleV feature set
+(128 reg's, all SV modes such as data dependent fail-first, etc.)
+
+# Defining SVPxxSingle
+
+Another point mentioned after Dmitry left is the need to define SVPxxSingle.
+
+For both RISC-V and PowerISA need to define:
+
+- SVP16Single
+- SVP32Single
+- SVP64Single
+
+*(Andrey: Why do these need to be defined for PowerISA?
+To also save on instruction memory?)*
+
+Doing this work for both ISAs at the same time isn't too difficult,
+as the SVPxxSingle format will be the same for both ISAs.
+By defining SV format to be the same across ISAs saves effort
+and helps future programmers to switch from one ISA to another
+with minimal adjustment...*perhaps except for x86*...)
