答复: Call for Discussion: New Project: RISC-V Port

[李三红(三红)]

Hi,
Thanks for raising this discussion. We (Alibaba) would like to voice the support for creating this project and contribute our efforts to this project.

RISC-V，as an open standard ISA has been supported in other popular runtime/compilers, likes V8, Go, LLVM, etc.  It's time to consider moving forward with Java, and we believe this porting work will benefit the broader Java ecosystem.

Alibaba already co-worked with Huawei and participated in the OpenJDK RV64 Porting Work [1] under RVI [2]. Most development work has also been synced up with the JDK sandbox [3].   We are examining the next step to discuss the possible practicalities of getting these changes into the mainline.

Because the proposing project sounds to go under Porters Group, so maybe -  
@Dalibor, can Porters Group sponsor this project?

Thanks
Sanhong

Thanks for your support. 
I want to emphasize that the experience of how the AArch64 port was done is immensely valuable for us working on this RISC-V port. 
I believe development and upstreaming of the AArch64 port will pave the way for this new proposed project. 

Thanks,
Felix.
