-Simple-V is a Scalable Vector ISA Extension specifically for the Power ISA.
+Simple-V is a Scalable Vector ISA Extension specifically tailored

+**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.

It is extremely important to think of Simple-V as a 2-Dimensional ISA:
instructions vertical and registers horizontal otherwise it will be
difficult to understand.
through explicit predicate masks which increases instruction count in
hot-loops.

We invented Simple-V to be simple because we don't like complicated.
