At the recent OpenPOWER Summit I attended in San Jose, IBM disclosed important updates to the POWER roadmap that give more insight into the company’s architectural decisions. IBM’s partners also made many overall POWER announcements which I wrote about here. IBM’s POWER architecture, which is now part of the OpenPOWER Foundation, has been a popular architecture for compute intensive applications like high performance computing (HPC). The new roadmap announced at the OpenPOWER Summit updates the features that have made the POWER architecture attractive to those in the high performance computing world. They have enhanced the threads, throughput, acceleration and coherency. In addition to the improvements, IBM also had big names put their support behind the new architecture, validating their design decisions.
