Optimization of hardware and software3

Data is the basis of competitive value with potential to change the game

15

Maximum Performance, Minimum ChangeFrom highly parallelized languages to memory-intensive apps, running the same code on POWER can dramatically increase performance – and with all major Linux distros supported, switching is easy.

Accelerate Beyond LimitsPOWER’s deeply integrated accelerator support means code can push beyond the limits of what’s possible with standard processors.

Work Less, Do MoreWith better performance and scale, you can spend less time building/testing/optimizing and more time developing the next new thing.

Rule the Stack – No black boxes.With OpenPOWER’s fully open architecture, developers rule the stack – hardware, firmware, and software are open and ready for optimization.

IntroducingOpenPOWER Ready

• Products / solutions may display badge

• Participants request to use it!

• Encourage product usage in ecosystem

• Compatibility

• Not Certification or Compliance

• OpenPOWER Ready™ List

Criteria• The OpenPOWER Ready criteria are published by the OpenPOWER Foundation. • Establishing an OpenPOWER Ready Workgroup.• Companies are encouraged to join the OpenPOWER Foundation and the OpenPOWER Ready

Workgroup to stay current on proposed updates to the criteria as the definition and criteria are evolved.

§ The OpenPOWER Foundation is a Not-for-profit entity with a Board of Directors and a Technical Steering Committee.

• Membership levels provide either a default Board of Director position (Platinum) or an opportunity to be elected to the Board (Gold, Silver, and Assoc/Academic members). The Bylaws include additional governance detail.

• Technical Steering Committee is formed from Work group Leads and Platinum members.

§Membership options include Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Associate / Academic memberships• Annual fee and dedicated full-time equivalent (FTEs) - verification of FTEs on honor system• Contributors, committers, Work group leads and project leads influence Technical Steering Committee• Associate / Academic level is not available to corporations

Anyone may participate in OpenPOWER. Membership levels are designed for those that are investing to grow and enhance the OpenPOWER community and its proliferation within the industry.
