    Abstract

    "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."

## IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754)

Almost all modern computers follow the IEEE Floating-Point Standard. Of
course, we will follow it as well for interoperability.

* IEEE 754-2019: <https://standards.ieee.org/standard/754-2019.html>

Note: Even though this is such an important standard used by everyone,
it is unfortunately not freely available and requires a payment to
access. However, each of the Libre-SOC members already have access
to the document.

* [Lecture notes - Floating Point Appreciation](http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~markhill/cs354/Fall2008/notes/flpt.apprec.html)

Among other things, has a nice explanation on arithmetic, rounding modes and the sticky bit.

* [What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic](https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html)

Nice resource on rounding errors (ulps and epsilon) and the "table maker's dilemma".

# Khronos Standards

The Khronos Group creates open standards for authoring and acceleration
of graphics, media, and computation. It is a requirement for our hybrid
CPU/GPU to be compliant with these standards *as well* as with IEEE754,
in order to be commercially-competitive in both areas: especially Vulkan
and OpenCL being the most important. SPIR-V is also important for the
Kazan driver.

Thus the [[zfpacc_proposal]] has been created which permits runtime dynamic
switching between different accuracy levels, in userspace applications.

[**SPIR-V Main Page Link**](https://www.khronos.org/registry/spir-v/)

* [OpenCL 2.2 SPIR-V Environment Specification](https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/2.2/html/OpenCL_Env.html)

* OpenCL released the proposed OpenCL 3.0 spec for comments in april 2020

* [Announcement video](https://youtu.be/h0_syTg6TtY)
* [Announcement video slides (PDF)](https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/apis/OpenCL-3.0-Launch-Apr20.pdf)

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

# Open Source (CC BY + MIT) DirectX specs (by Microsoft, but not official specs)

https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectX-Specs

# Graphics and Compute API Stack

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

## RISC-V Tests

RISC-V Foundation is in the process of creating an official conformance
test. It's still in development as far as I can tell.

* //TODO LINK TO RISC-V CONFORMANCE TEST

## IEEE 754 Testing/Emulation

IEEE 754 has no official tests for floating-point but there are
well-known third party tools to check such as John Hauser's TestFloat.

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

* <http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/>

Jacob is also working on an IEEE 754 software emulation library written
in Rust which also has Python bindings:

* Crate: <https://crates.io/crates/simple-soft-float>
* Autogenerated Docs: <https://docs.rs/simple-soft-float/>

A cool paper I came across in my research is "IeeeCC754++ : An Advanced
Set of Tools to Check IEEE 754-2008 Conformity" by Dr. Matthias Hüsken.

## Khronos Tests

Vulkan Conformance Tests

MAJOR NOTE: We are **not** allowed to say we are compliant with any of
the Khronos standards until we actually make an official submission,
do the paperwork, and pay the relevant fees.

## Formal Verification

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