I am a bit confused as to why are there so many different files in the integer ops directory. In the step by step guide only conv.h was copied and modified. It would be great if someone could explain it to me.

Hi @lzmz08 , in the step-by-step guide, only one kernel was accelerated, using just a single new custom instruction. So, the code for just one kernel needed modification.
With the MNV2 example, much more effort was invested, and the CFU was much more complicated. The discussion in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.01863.pdf in section III.A. might help a bit, although we did not have the space to go into much detail.
