This was for the core +of the project, based on an informally-developed Hybrid CPU-GPU 3D +instruction set that had been written (and implemented in a simulator) +in the 18 months prior to contacting NLNet. During the implementation +it became clear that a lot more work would be needed, and, further, that +to meet proper transparency criteria, the proposed instruction set +enhancements would need to be properly written up. In addition, +negotiations and communications with the Standards Body responsible +for POWER ISA (the OpenPower Foundation) also needed to be taken into +consideration. Therefore this proposal was submitted so that full +transparency and understanding of the Libre SoC is achieved. -- 2.30.2
