+
+== Topics
+
+Charter::
+
+ * Agreed to adopt "targetable by a compiler code generator or builtin/instrinsic" for scope
+ ** Derek will update charter, along with note defining builtin/intrinsic
+
+Processor classes::
+
+ * Agreed on four relevant processor classes:
+ ** Microcontroller
+ ** Low-end in-order application processor (_e.g._, IoT)
+ ** Mid-range out-of-order application processor (_e.g._, mobile)
+ ** High-end out-of-order application processor (_e.g._, server)
+ * All application processors expected to share instructions. Differentiation is for evaluation purposes.
+ * Derek will create more complete descriptions of each class
+
+Workloads::
+
+ * Additional workloads were suggested:
+ ** Linux Kernel (apps)
+ ** Router software (apps)
+ ** Crypto
+ ** Vendor-proprietary (vendor may share results, without sharing workload)
+
+Metrics::
+
+ * Agreed that metrics will be applied per instruction
+
+Instruction database::
+
+ * Went over fields. Christian suggested a field indicating if there is a known implementation already.
+ * Derek encouraged members to contribute
