And if so, can you tell us a bit about your contributions? -A sequence of projects has enabled early development of vectorisation techniques in the RISC-V domain, and higher performance demonstration with OpenPOWER ISA. This project takes the learnings from previous projects to create a powerful RISC-V based vector ISA capable of the performance of POWER.
