Vectorisation Concept that may be applied to **all and any** suitable
Scalar instructions, present and future, in the Scalar Power ISA.
The Vectorisation System is called "Simple-V" and the Prefix Format
-is called "SVP64".

-**Simple-V is not a Traditional Vector ISA and therefore does not add Vector opcodes of any kind**.

-An ISA Concept similar to Simple-V was originally invented in 1994 by Peter Hsu
-(Architect of the MIPS R8000) but was dropped as MIPS did not have an
-Out-of-Order Microarchitecture on which to best exploit it.

Simple-V is designed for Embedded Scenarios right the way through
Audio/Visual DSPs to 3D GPUs and Supercomputing. As it does **not**
