The Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is an extension of the ARMv8-A A64 instruction set, recently announced by ARM. Following the announcement at Hot Chips 28, a few articles describing what people think SVE is have appeared on the Internet. It is now our turn to give a more detailed description of some of the key features that the ISA provides. SVE is not an extension of NEON but a new set of vector instructions developed to target HPC workloads.
