If naively viewed one-dimensionally as an actual Vector ISA it introduces over 1.5 million 64-bit True-Scalable Vector instructions on the SFFS Subset and closer to 10 million 64-bit True-Scalable Vector instructions if introduced on VSX. SVP64, the instruction format used by Simple-V, is therefore best viewed as an orthogonal RISC-paradigm "Prefixing" subsystem instead. +[^bib_ldir]: [Zilog Z80 LDIR](http://z80-heaven.wikidot.com/instructions-set:ldir) +[^bib_cpir]: [Zilog Z80 CPIR](http://z80-heaven.wikidot.com/instructions-set:cpir) +[^bib_rep]: [8086 REP](https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/rep:repe:repz:repne:repnz) + Except where explicitly stated all bit numbers remain as in the rest of the Power ISA: in MSB0 form (the bits are numbered from 0 at the MSB on the left and counting up as you move rightwards to the LSB end).
