World S First Open Source Graphics Processor Miaow
The processor MIAOW is a resistor-transistor logic implementation of AMD’s open source Southern Islands instruction set architecture. A white paper has been published on the device by the researchers. It took 36 months for a core team of 12 visionary developers to develop MIAOW. Their goal was simply to create a functional GPGPU without setting any specific area, frequency, power or performance goals. It may be sensible to think that as an open source project, once it is further developed, some clever business might decide to take the chip into full production....
