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."

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

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

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

193 - [OpenCapi](https://opencapi.org)
194 High performance interconnect for POWER machines. One of the big advantages
195 of the POWER architecture. Notably more performant than PCIE Gen4, and is

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

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

266 Set of Tools to Check IEEE 754-2008 Conformity" by Dr. Matthias Hüsken.

282 the Khronos standards until we actually make an official submission,
283 do the paperwork, and pay the relevant fees.
285 ## Formal Verification
287 Formal verification of Libre RISC-V ensures that it is bug-free in
288 regards to what we specify. Of course, it is important to do the formal
289 verification as a final step in the development process before we produce
290 thousands or millions of silicon.
