Issues discussed:
#434 SLEN=VLEN as optional extension
We spent the meeting discussing the register layout options.
We reviewed the alternate approaches other ISAs had taken in handling
widening options, and will update a doc outlining the approaches
others have taken.
Discussion centered around possible microarchitectural approaches to
preserving SLEN=VLEN model in wider machines. There was concern over
the effect of width-oblivious register spill/restore code on
techniques to hide internal layout. Discussion to continue on mailing
list.
Meetings moved to every week to attempt to close spec to 1.0 by end of
June.
