owww! microsoft github becoming a web app (aka only for the whatng carte web engines), it is impossible to have a 'classic web' look a the repo. Must clone it now... thx microsoft, again.

This is great!

I’d love a similar document for ARM NEON as well.

Only taken a quick skim but this looks like solid material!

RISC-V Vector is definitely tricky to get a handle on, especially if you just read the architecture documentation (which is to be expected really, good specification for an architecture isn't compatible with a useful beginners guide). I found I needed to look at some presentations given by various members of the vector working group to get a good grasp of the principles.

There's been precious little material beyond the specification and some now slightly old slide decks so this is a great contribution.

On a high level, do I understand correctly that SIMD is close to how the hardware works, while Vector Processor is more of an abstraction? The "Strip Mining" part looks like this translation to something SIMD-like. I seems like it's a good abstraction layers, but there is an implicit compilation step right? (making the "assembly" more easily run on different actual hardware)
