If we move away from general-purpose computing toward a mix of specialized processors, will there be a whole set of standardized RISC-V extensions for GPU, ML, etc.? Or is RISC-V going to mainly stick to general-purpose code?
If there are a ton of extensions, will we need to compile all code for a particular machine so that it generates the right code for that machine's mix of special-purpose chips? What will that mean for virtualization and/or containerization?
