+#### Overview
+xsimd is a C++ header-only library that abstracts SIMD (vectorization) intrinsics behind a single, generic API. The same code - `xsimd::batch<float>` - compiles to optimal machine code on x86 SSE/AVX, ARM NEON, RISC-V, and WebAssembly, with no runtime overhead. When an intrinsic is missing on a given target, xsimd falls back gracefully rather than failing or leaving the developer to write platform-specific branches. This is why projects like Mozilla Firefox, Apache Arrow, and Pythran have adopted it as their vectorization layer.
+
+Writing SIMD intrinsics by hand is notoriously painful. Each architecture exposes different types, different naming conventions, and different gotchas — alignment rules, predicate registers, lane-width surprises, compiler bugs. Targeting two architectures means two separate, opaque, hard-to-test code paths. xsimd eliminates that cost entirely.
+
+ARM is now a first-class server architecture. AWS Graviton4 — broadly deployed today across EC2 instance families — ships with SVE2, ARM's latest vector ISA. Google and Microsoft have both announced their own ARM-based server chips (Axion and Cobalt 200 respectively), signalling an industry-wide shift. SVE2 brings a materially richer instruction set than NEON, and xsimd currently cannot exploit it — falling back to SVE and NEON on hardware that is capable of significantly more.
+
+We propose to implement a complete xsimd::sve2 backend — all arithmetic, mathematical, and reduction operations . The work will be fully tested, documented, and merged upstream into the public repository under the existing BSD 3-Clause license.
