WarpUP/WarpOS/powerpc.library is PowerPC kernel/subsystem for AmigaOS, made by Haage&Partner.
It has basically the same function as original PowerUP/ppc.library from Phase5: running Amiga programs on PowerPC CPU.
There is no third kernel for AmigaOS3. But there is more PPC kernels for classic Amiga - MorphOS's Quark and OS4's ExecSG.
WarpOS is able to emulate PowerUP. MorphOS is able to emulate them both.
I remember that it was more complicated with the WarpOS / PowerUP 'war' back then to get the right version of the software to run on your machine for the endusers.
Why H&P invented their own kernel and not licenced PowerUp is strange.
