Arm & Linaro Launch New "CoreCollective" Consortium - With Backing From AMD & Others
The embargo just lifted on an interesting new industry consortium... CoreCollective. The CoreCollective consortium is focused on open collaboration in the Arm software ecosystem and to a large extent what Linaro has already been doing for the past decade and a half. Interestingly though with CoreCollective for open collaboration in the Arm software ecosystem, AMD is now onboard as a founding member along with various other vendors.
Linaro with the backing of Arm is today announcing the CoreCollective as a new industry consortium to collaborate around modern computing and the next-era of the Arm software ecosystem. CoreCollective is open-source focused and being financially backed by Arm with any vendor welcome to join for free. Founding members alongside Arm and Linaro include AMD, Ampere Computing, Canonical, CIX, Fujitsu, Google, Graphcore, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Samsung, and SUSE.
Most interesting is AMD joining this Arm software ecosystem consortium. The other hardware and vendors involved aren't too any surprise given their existing ARM Linux work or their in-house ARM64 server processors and the like. AMD joining this Arm alliance comes amid the ongoing rumors of AMD "Sound Wave" as an ARM-powered APU that has long been brought up. Then again, via their Xilinx acquisition there is ARM exposure too. While perhaps a bit interesting from being absent as a member of the CoreCollective is NVIDIA.
CoreCollective is to be a neutral, Arm-focused consortium to advance areas around Android, data centers, confidential computing, edge computing, Linux fundamentals, virtualization, and more.
It will be interesting to see what comes out of the CoreCollective moving forward for advancing the open-source ARM ecosystem.
