Re: [PATCH v3] Support AVX10_V2_AUX instructions
Christian Ludloff and Jan Beulich discuss the naming convention for new AVX10 auxiliary instructions, with Ludloff suggesting AVX10_AUX_Vn as a potentially clearer alternative to AVX10_Vn_AUX. They also note discrepancies in the version of the ACE (AI Compute Extensions) specification being referenced. The conversation touches on specific instructions like vcvt and vpmovssdb, and the need for direct feedback to the ACE EAG (Ecosystem Advisory Group) on documentation updates.
