v0.6.0

Decisions Taken:

• Agreed on the Entropy Source Proposal. See #14 .
• Agreed on set of vector carry-less multiply instructions. See #17

Changes:

• None

Additions:

• Entropy Source Proposals.
  • Specification of instruction behavior appears in section 6.
  • Supplementary information and guidance for implementers appears in Appendix B.
• Vector carry-less multiply instruction variants.
  • Hi/Lo, Widening, Hi/Lo with accumulate.
  • Exact support for particular instructions and parameters (SEW) to be decided during profiles discussion.

Removals:

• Empty section on scalar micro-architectural recommendations. Will be better placed in supplementary materials section.
• Appendix section on benchmark results. Again, better placed in supplementary materials section later on.

Open Issues:

• #20 SAIL Formal ISA Specification Support.
• #19 Vector Rotation Support.
• #18 Vector Bit Reversal Support.
• #16 Instruction Encodings.
• #15 SM3 Example code.
• #13 lut4 instruction move to Bitmanip changes.
