The HSA Foundation is a

not-for-profit engineering organization of industry and academia that works on the development of the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA), a set of royalty-free computer hardware specifications, as well as open source software development tools needed to use HSA features in application software.[citation needed
]

The HSA Foundation aims to develop and define features and interfaces for various types of computer processors, including

DSPs; as well as the memory systems that connect these.[1] The resulting architecture, HSA, aims to make it easier to program parallel systems built from heterogeneous combinations of these devices.[2]

The HSA Foundation was founded by

semiconductor intellectual property, developers of CPUs, GPUs, DSPs and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) based upon own and/or licensed technology, academic partners such as the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Bologna, and the not-for-profit engineering organization Linaro. The HSA Foundation has itself joined the Linux Foundation.[3]

HSA Foundation engineering works with upstream projects on a set of requirements that are determined by the Technical Steering Committee.
