Abstract:

It is essential to build a new information technology ecosystem besides Wintel (Intel CPU + Windows OS) and AA (ARM CPU + Android OS). This paper introduces the Loongson instruction set architecture (LoongArch) and considerations and progresses about building the software ecosystem for LoongArch on the aspects of operation system, binary translation and open source software community.

Key words: Loongson instruction system architecture, Loongson basic operating system, application compatibility framework, autonomous programming framework, binary translation
