So much empty space in the ISA.

For x86 there is sandpile.org, the probably densest human representation of the ISA, especially when it comes to the opcode tables.

Is there something comparable for ARM64? Basically, a landing page from which everything is just one click away, plus scrolling or a quick Ctrl-F search.

Cool idea, and agree with this sentence in the final paragraph

> It would be cool to make a similar visualization for RISC-V and compare it with ARM64.

Or even compare a subset of the instruction set to see what's missing on different archs.

can someone do the same for RISC5?

This would make for a neat poster.
