The OpenPOWER Foundation, a collection of companies that have coalesced around IBM’s POWER architecture recently had their OpenPOWER Summit in San Jose, California. OpenPOWER was founded by IBM, Google, Tyan and Mellanox to coalesce around IBM’s approach towards opening up the POWER architecture to anyone that wishes to license it or build their IP into it. IBM provided the CPU, memory and accelerator architecture and all of the other founding members provided some other component of HPC that was needed to create a complete solution. IBM holds their OpenPOWER Summit every year in San Jose California alongside their partner NVIDIA in the same convention center with some overlap between the two. The OpenPOWER Foundation keeps making progress, year after year, and at this year’s OpenPOWER Summit, they moved even more steps closer to the deployment of complete OpenPOWER systems. IBM, Google, Rackspace (Rackspace Hosting) and others offered even more support, products and R&D towards the cause.
