Unlike POWER9 and maybe POWER8, libre-soc and microwatt do not implement VSX. The libre-soc project instead has SVP64, and also plans to extend the POWER ISA to support GPU like instructions. Since I work mostly on the libre-soc I will have less time to contribute to the GUIx project. The relevant bug report to GUIX is https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602 -- Tobias Platen <g...@platen-software.de>
