Built on Power

"We don’t have to run DDR5 at the fastest, most screaming rates that drive unreliable things that others in the industry are trying to do coming off their processor socket,” brags Bill Starke. “We get the fan out that gives us the luxury of saying, just use more ports. We are putting 32 DDR5 ports behind a single processor socket. I mean, who else in the industry can touch that?" #ibmpower https://lnkd.in/dPn5KiJ3

Fighting cancer with IBM Power10. “In particular, IBM Power 10’s 99.9999% availability, the MMA in-built on-chip accelerator, together with end-to-end security, will help SiPH minimise risks, secure AI workloads at all layers, and protect data through accelerated encryption,” #ibmpower https://lnkd.in/dQGd-KvH

"In preliminary tests led by IBM Research, the IBM Spyre AIU cluster running inference on the IBM-NASA geospatial foundation model could process 2.1 images per second per watt used, versus 0.6 img/sec/W on standard GPUs — more than three times as many." - Next generation Power servers based on Power11 chips, will include Spyre technology https://lnkd.in/gcHYY2si

7:40 in he starts talking about optimized CPU's for AI. We know this is Power10 of course. https://lnkd.in/deuFnGfy

"The Power11 processor is designed to deliver higher clock speeds and can add up to 25% more cores per processor chip than comparable IBM Power10 systems" https://lnkd.in/gfPtmJSS

"But when it comes to building servers themselves – the collection of processors, RAM, drives, power supplies, network adapters, and the firmware that glues it all together – IBM currently is building the most reliable systems the world has ever seen, which is definitely something to cheer for." https://lnkd.in/dRzTxkDW

"In a testament to its longstanding commitment to innovation in the banking sector, IBM Power has been honored with the prestigious Technology Partner Award from Finacle." Paul Chapman #ibmpower https://lnkd.in/de2KHxZe

"The standout statistic? The IBM Power E1080 demonstrated up to 4.22 times faster per-core performance than an Intel Xeon Gold 6348 server in the OLTP 90:10 benchmark. This isn’t just a marginal improvement – it’s a quantum leap in processing capability. But that’s not all. Here are some other impressive figures: Read-only Point Select Performance: Up to 3.64 times faster per core TPCC-like Performance: Up to 1.59 times faster per core Scalability: Over 1.1 million queries per second on just 8 cores These numbers translate to real-world benefits: faster transaction processing, improved response times, and the ability to handle larger workload" Paul Chapman #ibmpower #linuxonpower #mariadb https://lnkd.in/dBCVyA3D
