OpenPOWER model is key to
business success.
Collaborative
innovation is eating
the world.”

There used to be one.
Then there were three.
Then came POWER8.
Then it was opened.
Then friends joined.
More innovation and choice.
John Zannos
Chairman
OpenPOWER Foundation
200+ members
50+ technologies revealed
2,300+ applications
24 countries

100s of innovations under way
OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS
The need for
collaboration is clear
In reality, it’s not going to be
about a single technology. How
are we going to compose
multiple technologies to move
cognitive computing forward?

Make sure everything you’re doing
is open source: • Open with easy access & developer friendly
• Enabled for hackers
• Find what excites & motivates developers

And it isn’t just vendors
who are collaborating
Collaborative innovation between
developers, users, & hardware
engineers will drive technology
adoption over the next five years.

88%of HPC users report
they will use multiple
chip architectures in
the near future.

Through open
collaboration, we enable
differentiated acceleration.
Accelerated interfaces are the
key to addressing the decreasing
returns of Moore’s Law. It’s not
just for a subset of applications,
it’s for everything.

And when OpenPOWER
members collaborate, they
innovate
Rackspace & Google are co-
developing an open
POWER9 server platform to
be made available to the
Open Compute Project.

The POWER processor roadmap
continues with POWER9 in 2017.
24 cores, CAPI, NVLink, &
modularity for OpenPOWER to
address a broad range of scale
out & enterprise servers.
