Re: Vector Task Group minutes 2020/12/04
Having been a silent observer of this group for what seems like a very long time, but now recently liberated from previous constraints, I will observe that I have seen the use in DSPs of both dedicated mask register files and use of general vector type registers to serve this purpose. Along with operations for manipulating them. While there are pros and cons for both, I lean to the side of not having a special mask register file and special operations, but instead use existing resources and operations. However I have a process observation as well - it has taken RV Vector proposal a long time to converge to a near 1.0 specification. Would going down a different route cause enough delay and debate that it would derange the process and significantly delay the standardization that is desired? As opposed to more modest suggestions.
