Interesting, so we'll need a nice little comparison page of all those arch's.
No pressure :D

That means we'll need brief, yet deep content for them to look over?

> what the differences are, would i feel be beneficial.  thoughts?
A comparison sounds like an easy way to demonstrate the power of SV.

Will be there.

Actually the diagram is a good idea. Just scale down to fit on a page.
The video is still processing, so haven't seen it yet.

I submitted my latest content here:
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=libreriscv.git;a=blob;f=svp64-primer/summary.tex;h=b1b47f8754efc13699df898941cf55002fc823cb;hb=c622226176550788c3cf447db36f4fde07bff16f

The summary.tex file is a secondary file, you'll also find the main one,
bibliography, and acronyms (figured a good idea as we have so many, even if we
don't use in the primer).

The text is a bit of a mess, and I haven't added any examples yet (wasn't sure
if you wanted to use the code from the sigarch article, or use of our own).
Currently I have a brief summary of SIMD, Vector Processing, and started to add
SV. The text as is, is too big, but I'll leave it for now. We can cut away for
the primer next week.


I will now be heading off on my weekend camping trip, but can check bugs/logs,
David can reach me if needed.
