- ZirconiumX 9y agoI don't know why this is being downvoted. One of the workloads that Cloudflare does is encryption, and RISC-V has been planning a vector extension that can be reconfigured, so that the jump from 128-bit to 256-bit native execution is not an ISA change and doesn't require recompiling.
- imtringued 9y agoDoesn't every CPU manufacturer do this? AMD offers 256 bit vector instructions but they take twice as long because the Zen cores can only process 128 bit at a time.
