Technology Update: The Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) for the ARMv8-A architecture (ARM Holdings plc)
(World News Science)

(Source: ARM Holdings plc) Today at Hot Chips in Cupertino, I had the opportunity to present the latest update to our ARMv8-A architecture, known as the Scalable Vector Extension or SVE. Before going into the technical details, key points about ARMv8-A SVE are: ARM is significantly extending the vector processing capabilities associated with AArch64 (64-bit) execution in the ARM architecture, now and into the future, enabling implementation choices for vector lengths that scale from 128 to 2048 bits. High Performance Scientific Compute provides an excellent focus for the introduction of this technology and its associated ecosystem development. SVE features will enable advanced vectorizing...
