- pjscott 8y agoThis is one of the few times when a Considered Harmful article deserves the title. Did you see the RISC-V assembly code? Holy shit! It's so much nicer than every other SIMD ISA I've ever used! So much easier to program, so much easier to write compilers for -- and it should also be easier for CPU designers to handle efficiently. What's not to like?
- richardwhiuk 8y ago> should also be easier for CPU designers to handle efficiently I'm always dubious of claims like this. I think in general the architecture would need to turn it back into the highest SIMD code it supports at instruction decode.
