Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points and asks only for community opinions about CPU-architecture porting complexity. Start by reviewing the issue body and the repository’s architecture-related code, then establish what evidence would support or reject the stated assessment; done means a documented community assessment rather than a code change.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello everyone! I am working on implementing a tool to assess the complexity of CPU architecture porting. It primarily focuses on RISC-V architecture porting. In fact, it can be estimated on average across various architectures.My focus is on the overall workload and difficulty of transplantation in the past and future.As part of my dataset, I have collected the arrayfire project. I would like to gather community opinions to support my assessment. I appreciate your help and response! Based on scanning tools, the porting complexity is determined to be simple, with a small amount of code related to the CPU architecture in the project. (referring to the overall workload from adapting the project to a specific architecture to achieving full functionality on that architecture). Is this assessment accurate? I look forward to your help and response.
