In this case, that's an expensive inconvenience. Vertical-First allows *scalar* temporary registers to be utilised in the assessment as to whether a particular Vector element should be skipped, utilising a straight Branch instruction. This technique -is pioneered by Mitch Alsup and is a key feature of his VVM Engine -in MyISA 66000.

Careful analysis of the registers within the Vertical-First Loop allows a Multi-Issue Out-of-Order Engine to *amortise in-flight scalar looped operations into SIMD batches* as long as the loop is kept small enough to entirely fit into
