MIPS ISA to be available under royalty-free license


Wave Computing will follow in RISC-V’s path by offering its MIPS ISA as “open source” code without royalties or proprietary licensing. The MIPS Open initiative will focus on the development of SoCs for emerging IoT edge applications.
The RISC-V Foundation, which promotes the development of processors built on a standardized, open source instruction set architecture (ISA) is widely seen as a potential threat to Arm’s proprietary RISC ISA juggernaut. Yet, it’s also affecting other computer architectures, from Intel’s x86 to fading, legacy platforms such as Power and MIPS. This week, Wave Computing, which acquired the MIPS chip business from Imagination Technologies in June, announced a MIPS Open Initiative to reinvigorate MIPS development by offering access to the most recent 32- and 64-bit MIPS ISA versions free of charge with no licensing or royalty fees.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
