What is the Foundation
2013
Launched
OpenPOWER Foundation is a non-profit
serving its member companies and the
open hardware industry
Mission: To accelerate adoption of
OpenPOWER ISA and open technology at
large.
- To drive technology innovation
through specifications,
compliance tests, and product
SIGs
- To grow overall ecosystem and
members
- To facilitate community
engagement and visibility
Fully open sourced POWER ISA in 2019
3. The POWER architecture continues to
play a significant role in HPC domain.
OpenPOWER’s fully open source ISA
provides a proven, flexible, and
community driven choice to develop
the next innovation for HPC hardware
and software
4. Leading Supercomputers based on POWER
POWER well represented in
supercomputers with
multiple systems in top 500:
#2 Summit
#3 Sierra
#11 CINECA
#17 Lassen
#18 Pangea III
#29 AiMOS
6. OpenPOWER Foundation Workgroups
HPC
● NEW WG
● Cross-cutting accelerator,
memory, software, and ISA WGs
ISA
● Oversees evolution of POWER
ISA, while preserving compatibility
and verification process
● Instruction Compliance sub-sets
○ Provides flexibility for
targeted use cases
● Enable new POWER based cpus
targeting IIoT, Edge, DC, HPC,
AI/ML
Accelerator
● Focus on interconnects and
offload
● Collaborate with OpenCAPI and
OMI
Software Enablement
● Goal of making POWER first class
citizen across essential software
● Spanning HPC, Cloud native,
programming languages, AI/ML
7. Software is the key enabler
● OpenPOWER has mature software ecosystem
● HPC software deployment made simpler
through containerization
● OPF HUB - Easily gain access to POWER
systems try out popular HPC suites
Cloud-native co-exist with HPC
○ Kube-Batch open source batch
scheduler for Kubernetes
○ Orchestrator + HPC scheduler -
Kubernetes integrates with IBM
Spectrum
8. CPU to Accelerator interconnect
AI major driver for
interconnect technologies
● OpenPOWER has been a leader
in this space with the integration of
OpenCAPI 25Gb/s interconnects
to GPGPUs.
The foundation is committed to open
technologies like OpenCAPI. We continue
to collaborate and investigate new use
cases.
