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."
49 # RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture
51 **PLEASE UPDATE** - we are no longer implementing full RISCV, only user-space
54 The Libre RISC-V Project is building a hybrid CPU/GPU SoC. As the name
55 of the project implies, we will be following the RISC-V ISA I due to it
56 being open-source and also because of the huge software and hardware
57 ecosystem building around it. There are other open-source ISAs but none
58 of them have the same momentum and energy behind it as RISC-V.
60 To fully take advantage of the RISC-V ecosystem, it is important to be
61 compliant with the RISC-V standards. Doing so will allow us to to reuse
62 most software as-is and avoid major forks.

70 Note: As far as I know, we aren't using the RISC-V V Extension directly
71 at the moment (correction: we were never going to). However, there are many wiki pages that make a reference
72 to the V extension so it would be good to include it here as a reference
73 for comparative/informative purposes with regard to Simple-V.

144 The Khronos Group creates open standards for authoring and acceleration
145 of graphics, media, and computation. It is a requirement for our hybrid
146 CPU/GPU to be compliant with these standards *as well* as with IEEE754,
147 in order to be commercially-competitive in both areas: especially Vulkan
148 and OpenCL being the most important. SPIR-V is also important for the
151 Thus the [[zfpacc_proposal]] has been created which permits runtime dynamic
152 switching between different accuracy levels, in userspace applications.

175 Note: We are implementing hardware accelerated Vulkan and

177 Vulkan. E.g. Zink allows for OpenGL-to-Vulkan in software.

267 There is also his SoftFloat library, which is a software emulation
268 library for IEEE 754.

299 ## Formal Verification
301 Formal verification of Libre RISC-V ensures that it is bug-free in
302 regards to what we specify. Of course, it is important to do the formal
303 verification as a final step in the development process before we produce
304 thousands or millions of silicon.
