Fixed 128-bit SIMD against scalable vectors on the same architecture family.
Scalable vectors, predication and vector-length agnostic software on ARM.
The 128-bit ARM SIMD baseline: registers, intrinsics and what it does and does not provide.
Two approaches to wide vector execution with very different software models: one fixes the register width in the architecture, the other refuses to.
Arm NEON and SVE both provide data-parallel execution, but NEON exposes fixed 128-bit vectors while SVE is built for scalable, predicated vector-length-agnostic code.
Arm SVE is a scalable vector architecture built around implementation-defined vector length and pervasive predication. Learn the model, loop style and why it differs from NEON.
