45 Abstract
46
47 "The objective of this work is to design and implement a TAP controller IP core compatible with IEEE 1149.1-2013 revision of the standard. The test logic architecture also includes the Test Mode Persistence controller and its associated logic. This work is expected to serve as a ready to use module that can be directly inserted in to a new digital IC designs with little modifications."

87 ## IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754)
88
89 Almost all modern computers follow the IEEE Floating-Point Standard. Of
90 course, we will follow it as well for interoperability.
91
92 * IEEE 754-2019: <https://standards.ieee.org/standard/754-2019.html>
93
94 Note: Even though this is such an important standard used by everyone,
95 it is unfortunately not freely available and requires a payment to
96 access. However, each of the Libre-SOC members already have access
97 to the document.

116 # Khronos Standards
117
118 The Khronos Group creates open standards for authoring and acceleration
119 of graphics, media, and computation. It is a requirement for our hybrid
120 CPU/GPU to be compliant with these standards *as well* as with IEEE754,
121 in order to be commercially-competitive in both areas: especially Vulkan
122 and OpenCL being the most important. SPIR-V is also important for the
123 Kazan driver.
124
125 Thus the [[zfpacc_proposal]] has been created which permits runtime dynamic
126 switching between different accuracy levels, in userspace applications.

148
149 Note: We are implementing hardware accelerated Vulkan and
150 OpenCL while relying on other software projects to translate APIs to
151 Vulkan. E.g. Zink allows for OpenGL-to-Vulkan in software.

159 I found this informative post that mentions Kazan and a whole bunch of
160 other stuff. It looks like *many* APIs can be emulated on top of Vulkan,
161 although performance is not evaluated.

240 IEEE 754 has no official tests for floating-point but there are
241 well-known third party tools to check such as John Hauser's TestFloat.
242
243 There is also his SoftFloat library, which is a software emulation
244 library for IEEE 754.
245
246 * <http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/>
247
248 Jacob is also working on an IEEE 754 software emulation library written
249 in Rust which also has Python bindings:

273 do the paperwork, and pay the relevant fees.
274
275 ## Formal Verification
276
277 Formal verification of Libre RISC-V ensures that it is bug-free in
278 regards to what we specify. Of course, it is important to do the formal
279 verification as a final step in the development process before we produce
280 thousands or millions of silicon.
