Well, I suppose if we're setting figures like that, then it's really "Limit regressions in vectorised code over non-vectorised code". :-) But maybe it'd be better to keep figures out of it. 99% is awkward because I don't think we even have 100 benchmarks yet. And what about benchmarks like DEN

I've added some ideas to the NEON blueprint. There are now really 6 separate tasks, broken down into subitems, so it looks like we really could have 6 separate blueprints, as you mentioned on the wiki page. I wasn't sure how to create those blueprints correctly though. Please let me know if they d

Hi there. The next two weeks is where we take the technical topics from the TSC and the discussions had during the summit and turn them into the concrete engineering blueprints for this cycle. I've created a page at: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/Blueprints listing all of the
