interestingly enough, the “v” in risc-v also means “v” as in vector [1] > and so we named it RISC-V. As one of our goals in defining RISC-V was to support research in data-parallel architectures, the Roman numeral ‘V’ also conveniently served as an acronymic pun for “Vector.” [1] https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~krste/papers/EECS-2016-1.pdf https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~krste/papers/EECS-2016-1.p... ———- so maybe in a way “vee” isn’t so inappropriate after all ^_^
