A recap of Day One
Today was our first ever
OpenPOWER Summit in
Europe, and there was
electricity in the air!
We’re very excited to have
our first ever OpenPOWER
Summit in Europe. We’re here
and really excited to show
you what we’re doing on the
continent.
Calista Redmond
President
OpenPOWER Foundation
And all anyone could talk
about was how
OpenPOWER continues
to drive innovation in the
data center.
We’re no longer content to look at
historical information. In fact, we’re not
always content to look at information
as it’s happening. We want to look at
predictive information that can impact
us strategically going forward with our
business. Calista Redmond
President
OpenPOWER Foundation
OpenPOWER is the
most significant
‘agent provocateur’
in a stagnant world!

It’s that particular movement where it’s
not only the right thing to do but also the
higher performing thing. It’s a balance of
openness, control, and building your
own solution. OpenPOWER is the only
organization offering this.
Georg Greve
CEO, Kolab
Founder, Free Software Foundation Europe
And we heard from
members who are already
seeing amazing
performance with their
OpenPOWER use cases
We’re very happy to be collaborating
with multiple OpenPOWER members
like IBM, NVIDIA, Micron, and Xilinx.
These partners are all contributing to
the mission of the Barcelona
Supercomputing Center, including
our IBM-BSC Deep Learning Center.

One of the things we couldn’t really
do with the BlueGene generation of
hardware was have the flexibility to
deploy things like Hadoop and
Spark, but with POWER8, we can.

Already we’ve seen a number of
customers who are ready to
move to POWER.
We’re investigating machine
learning, big data, and DBaaS

And we supported them
with announcements of
even more to come!
Up to 24 cores, Direct-
attach DDR4 Memory,
PCI Gen4, NVLink 2.0,
CAPI 2.0, and
OpenCAPI.

Including our exciting new
CAPI Storage, Network,
and Analytics
Programming Framework,
or CAPI SNAP! It makes it
easier than ever for
organizations of all sizes
to adopt CAPI
acceleration.http://bit.ly/2eUgwhY
We see the CAPI SNAP capability
being used to initially boost or
enable rich real-time analytics and
stream processing in variety of
increasingly Machine to Machine
driven use cases.

And last, but not least, we
announced the four winners of the
inaugural OpenPOWER Developer
Challenge! You can read our

Europe and the ‘agent
provocateurs’ at
