TRANSCRIPT
Welcome everyone to SC16,
one of OpenPOWER’s favorite
events!
Day 1 didn’t disappoint as
former IBM VP Katharine Frase
began the day discussing
cognitive computing and AI.

We’re teaching humans to speak in a language that computers understand.
And organizations of all
shapes and sizes are looking
to leverage AI and cognitive
computing.
They’re putting their money
where their mouth is, too!
This is where OpenPOWER members
IBM and NVIDIA come in! At SC16
they announced PowerAI, a new deep
learning package optimized for

Deep learning isn’t just a computing opportunity. It has the potential to revolutionize every organizational segment, geography, & domain.
One in five health care dollars in the U.S. are spent on caring for
patients with diabetes*.

1. Fat single nodes
2. Unlocking new workloads & programming
3. Ultra-powerful clusters
4. Specialized pre-post processing
The top four deployments of the IBM S822LC for HPC OpenPOWER server:
Mateo Valero
Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Having industrial technological partners willing to collaborate on the project is a sine qua non. This is why BSC decided to join the OpenPOWER Foundation.

Architectural & performance portability like the POWER8-NVIDIA NVLink platform is critical to our application developers & users as we move from existing CPU-only & GPU-enabled applications on machines like Titan to DOE’s upcoming major systems including the Summit system we’re installing at ORNL.
