Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

You Won’t Believe This One Weird CPU Instruction (2019)
The bit manipulation [0] extension has been ratified for a while now and is part of the RVA22 application extension profile [1].
You can already buy SOCs that support it, e.g. vision five 2 and star64.
Interestingly the risc-v vector has it's own popcount instructions for vector registers/register masks. This is needed, because the scalable architecture doesn't guarantee that a vector mask can fit into a 64 bit register, so vector masks are stored in a single LMUL=1 register. This works really well, because with LMUL=8 and SEW=8 you get 100% utilization of the single LMUL=1 vector register.
Another interesting thing is that the vector crypto extension will likely introduce a element wise popcount instruction.

Is Bit Manipulation extension ratified?
According to latest version of spec on GitHub (https://github.com/riscv/riscv-bitmanip) Bit-manip is in frozen state. Is this ratified and not updated in the sepc document or is it actually frozen?

Testing for presence of _Zba and _Zbb
I guess 0x20a52533 is a specific _zba instruction? Which one? I searched for "001000" (the left 6 bits of 0x20) in https://github.com/riscv/riscv-bitmanip/releases/download/1.0.0/bitmanip-1.0.0-38-g865e7a7.pdf , but couldn't find a match? Might be PEBKAC.

A Neat XOR Trick
RISC-V does have a proposed extension Zbb that includes the cpop and cpopw instructions. It doesn't seem to have much recent activity, though.

Cores with V-extension and Linux support
Enabling B use in dynamically linked libc code will improve every application, especially for example use of orc.b in the C string functions, which is what I invented it for https://github.com/riscv/riscv-bitmanip/issues/41 (using V is even better, but that's optional in RVA22)

gmp: "Risc V is a terrible architecture"
There was a pick instruction, literally named cmov, in an older version of the B (bitmanip) extension (all the good stuff is in extensions). But it seems like it got canned or something, it's not in it anymore (various other interesting instructions were also lost). Silly if you ask me, but I haven't kept up with any of the debate, maybe there's a decent reason..

Do Low-Level Optimizations Matter?
If you are designing a sorting algorithm component for production, it is critical to take into account all the blips and wrinkles that real components will face.
But when you are investigating how and why your CPU has the performance characteristics it has evolved, all those complications directly interfere with learning. The goal here was not to make a production-grade sorting tool; it was to understand what affects performance, using the sorting problem as a microscope.
The method is generally useful. Some years back I spent months refining a one-page program[1] to generate a list of word puzzles. After the first day, the list of puzzles was of no interest, but refining the means to produce it faster taught me a great deal.
