It is the first processor written from scratch using the open Power ISA 3.0, and is released by the OpenPOWER Foundation as a reference design. The project started as a demo, proof of concept and a reference implementation for the release of the opensource initiative regarding Power ISA 3.0. [15]
Power ISA is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) currently developed by the OpenPOWER Foundation, led by IBM. It was originally developed by IBM and the now-defunct Power.org industry group.
The OpenPOWER Foundation is a collaboration around Power ISA-based products initiated by IBM and announced as the "OpenPOWER Consortium" on August 6, 2013. [5] IBM's focus is to open up technology surrounding their Power Architecture offerings, such as processor specifications, firmware, and software with a liberal license, and will be using a collaborative development model with their partners.
Libre-SOC is a libre soft processor core originally written by Luke Leighton and other contributors, announced at the OpenPOWER Summit NA 2020. [2] It adheres to the Power ISA 3.0 instruction set and can be run on field-programmable gate array boards, currently booting MicroPython and other bare-metal applications.
IBM POWER is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by IBM. The name is an acronym for Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC. [1] The ISA is used as base for high end microprocessors from IBM during the 1990s and were used in many of IBM's servers, minicomputers, workstations, and ...
OpenPOWER – Power ISA, an open-source hardware instruction set architecture initiated by IBM; OpenSPARC – Sun's, later Oracle's high-performance processor; Parallax Propeller – a multi-core microcontroller with eight 32-bit RISC cores; Parallella – single-board computer with a manycore coprocessor and field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
IBM joined the discussion and the three founded the AIM alliance to build the PowerPC ISA, heavily based on the POWER ISA, but with additions from both Apple and Motorola. It was to be a complete 32/64 bit RISC architecture, and to range from very low end embedded microcontrollers to the very high end supercomputer and server applications.
POWER7 is a family of superscalar multi-core microprocessors based on the Power ISA 2.06 instruction set architecture released in 2010 that succeeded the POWER6 and POWER6+. POWER7 was developed by IBM at several sites including IBM's Rochester, MN ; Austin, TX; Essex Junction, VT ; T. J. Watson Research Center , NY; Bromont, QC [ 1 ] and IBM ...
