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

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

176 # Graphics and Compute API Stack
178 I found this informative post that mentions Kazan and a whole bunch of
179 other stuff. It looks like *many* APIs can be emulated on top of Vulkan,
180 although performance is not evaluated.

252 RISC-V Foundation is in the process of creating an official conformance

255 * //TODO LINK TO RISC-V CONFORMANCE TEST
257 ## IEEE 754 Testing/Emulation
259 IEEE 754 has no official tests for floating-point but there are
260 well-known third party tools to check such as John Hauser's TestFloat.
262 There is also his SoftFloat library, which is a software emulation
263 library for IEEE 754.
265 * <http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/>
267 Jacob is also working on an IEEE 754 software emulation library written
268 in Rust which also has Python bindings:

292 do the paperwork, and pay the relevant fees.
294 ## Formal Verification
296 Formal verification of Libre RISC-V ensures that it is bug-free in
297 regards to what we specify. Of course, it is important to do the formal
298 verification as a final step in the development process before we produce
299 thousands or millions of silicon.
