## Power Architecture Platform Requirements. ##
The purpose of this document is to detail a stable platform architecture to be used by:
- Platforms defined by the POWER ISA Specification that desire to be compatible with operating systems that run on the PowerVM Hypervisor.
- Operating systems that desire to be compatible with running on the PowerVM Hypervisor.
This architecture specification provides a comprehensive computer system platform-to-software interface definition.
It documents minimum system requirements, enabling the development and porting of software to a range of compatible industry-standard computer systems from workstations through servers based on the PowerISA.
This document is maintained by IBM and is made available through the OpenPOWER Foundation to support the work of the OpenPOWER Foundation and open source communities in supporting the POWER platform.
Comments, questions, and suggestions can be submitted through the OpenPOWER Foundation Request Tracker.
