Power architecture: ISA released as open source, softcore introduced
According to the OpenPOWER Foundation under the title link, the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of the IBM POWER processors have been released as open source. Hugh Blemings, Executive Director of the OpenPOWER Foundation, furthermore wrote: "In addition to open sourcing the POWER ISA, IBM is also contributing a newly developed softcore to the community. In a very short time, an IBM engineer was able to develop a softcore on the POWER ISA, and get it up and running on a Xilinx FPGA. This softcore implementation is being demonstrated this week at OpenPOWER Summit North America."
