+As you can see, only three instructions are required to perform arbitrary
+matrix multiplication, with non-power-of-2 matrices!
+
+The reason why the main part of matrix multiplication is so simple is down
+to three reasons:
+
+- RISC ISA with powerful and simple instructions (Power ISA SFS/SFFS)
+- REMAP indexing system - generates index schedules for a range of
+  problems: matrix multiply, FFT, DCT, programmer-defined, etc.
+- Simple-V SVP64 looping system based on instruction prefixing which turns
+  any scalar instruction into a vector one. Can follow consecutive element
+  indexing, or REMAP schedule indexing.
+
+Additionally, if instead of matrix multiplication, a different operation is
+required (say, to perform logical operations on rows/cols), the third
+instruction - `maddld` - can be substituted for a different operation. This is
+beyond the scope of this guide however.
