openpower summit europe: day 2 recap
TRANSCRIPT
OpenPOWERSummit Europe
Barcelona | October 28, 2016
A recap of Day Two
All over Europe,
people are talking
about OpenPOWER!
The shotgun release of so many
efforts, argue IBM and
OpenPOWER, demonstrates
the hungry appetite for and
rapid adoption of Power-based
technology in Europe.

And how being in an open
community helps drive
success.
Open gives everyone a
seat at the table, and
every seat is a little bit
different.
Major Hayden
Principle Architect
Rackspace
Collaboration grew for building the
framework, with significant contributions
from IBM, Xilinx, Rackspace, Eiditicom,
Reconfigure.io, Alpha-Data, and
Nallatech. Each company brought unique
skills and perspectives to the effort.
Bruce Wile
CAPI Chief Engineer and Distinguished Engineer
IBM
The way open makes a difference
in my business is that it speeds up
the rate of innovation. At
OpenPOWER Summit in April, I
got together with several other
members, and in six months we
came away with CAPI SNAP.
Rob Taylor
CEO
Reconfigure.io
This open collaboration is
leading to real
performance gains for our
members
When compared to a traditional
system, we were able to maintain
the same performance using 4x less
memory with CAPI attached Flash.
Tom Hubregtsen
Research Staff Member
IBM
And is helping to
create new
technologies that
previously
weren’t possible
without
OpenPOWER’s
collaborative
model
New advanced memory technologies will
have a disruptive impact on the industry.
This demonstration of MRAM in a POWER8
server running real applications is a great
example of what OpenPOWER is all about –
creating opportunities for industry partners
to innovate and enabling choice in the
market.Steve Fields
IBM Fellow and Chief Engineer of POWER systems
These new
technologies are being
used by members to
address both current
workloads, as well as
workloads of the future
Deep learning is not
the future, deep
learning at scale is the
future.
Samuel Cozannet
Strategic Program Manager
Canonical
JURON clearly demonstrates the potential of a
technology ecosystem settled around a
processor architecture with interfaces that
facilitate efficient integration of various
devices for efficient processing, moving and
storing of data. In other words, it demonstrates
the collaborative potential of OpenPOWER.
Dr. Dirk Pleiter
Research Group Leader
Jülich Supercomputing Centre
But most importantly…
We’re doing it differently,
and in ways we’ve never
done before, and that’s my
definition of fun.
Jeff Scheel
Distinguished Engineer
IBM Linux Technology Center
