The OpenPOWER Compliance Program provides a structured process for hardware and software vendors to certify interoperability with OpenPOWER specifications.
Compliance certification gives deployers and end users confidence that OpenPOWER-branded products meet the interoperability requirements defined in Foundation specifications.
Server and compute platform vendors can certify that their hardware meets OpenPOWER Platform Requirements, ensuring compatibility with certified operating systems and software stacks.
Linux distributions and operating systems can certify compatibility with OpenPOWER hardware platforms, providing assurance for enterprise deployments.
Application frameworks, middleware, and development tools can certify correct behavior and optimized performance on OpenPOWER architectures.
The compliance certification process is designed to be straightforward for OpenPOWER Foundation members.
Download and review the relevant specification and compliance test suite documentation to understand requirements for your product category.
Execute the OpenPOWER compliance test suite against your product. Test suites are publicly available on GitHub and automated where possible.
Submit your test results and product information to the OpenPOWER Foundation compliance team for review and verification.
Upon successful review, receive OpenPOWER compliance certification and listing in the public compliance registry. Display the compliance mark on certified products.
