V Extension 2: Masks, Load/Store Types, Reductions, Permutes, Tail/Mask Agnostic
Part 14 of the RISC-V series. I ran v0 masks, the four kinds of loads and stores, a first-fault strlen, reductions and permutations, and ta/ma in QEMU. Four kernels matched Python on all 78 items, and at VLEN 1024 they executed 4–7% as many instructions as scalar code.
