The value of Arm Neoverse Compute Subsystem (CSS) to the OCP and open-source community is substantial. Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs) allow purpose-built hardware designs and specifications to be adopted more readily, lowering the entry barrier for new players keen on developing custom solutions and CPU solutions. Coupling this with firmware support to ease the integration with open-hardware designs from OCP and others is instrumental in speeding up platform development.

As GenAI accelerates business-driven data processing needs, integrating optimized hardware, leveraging open hardware designs, and reducing development cycle time will be critical to business success.

In this presentation, we'll explore how utilizing ARM Neoverse CSS and the OCP ecosystem makes it feasible to develop platforms using workload-optimized purpose-built silicon. Furthermore, extensive software/firmware enablement and market readiness at 'Day 0' can be achieved through collaboration.
