| | LINUX NEWS | IBM and OpenPOWER Members Deliver Accelerated Technologies to Break Big Data Speed Barriers
IBM and fellow OpenPOWER Foundation members have revealed new technologies, collaborations, and developer resources to enable clients to analyze data faster and more deeply. The new offerings center on the tight integration through CAPI (Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface) of IBM’s open and licensable POWER processors with accelerators that can be optimized for computationally intensive software code.
The accelerated POWER-based offerings come at a time when clients are seeking the ideal server platform for Internet of Things, machine learning, and other cognitive computing applications. Through an open, collaborative model, IBM, along with more than 90 members participating in the OpenPOWER Foundation’s Accelerators Working Group, are developing and delivering a range of accelerator-based solutions.
“There is a need for systems that provide greater speed to insight -- for data and analytics workloads to help businesses and organization make sense of the data, to outthink competitors as we usher in a new era of Cognitive Computing,” said Brad McCredie, IBM Fellow and OpenPOWER Foundation President. “IBM and our fellow OpenPOWER members are on the forefront driving the changes necessary for innovation at all levels of the technology stack, including the development of the industry's first open, high-speed interconnects between processors and accelerators.”
For more information about new products, collaborations and further investments in accelerator-based solutions on top of the POWER processor architecture, go here.
SUSE Offers Elastic Pricing for Enterprise Linux on LinuxONE
In August 2015, IBM unveiled two Linux mainframe servers – called LinuxONE – that are designed for the new application economy and hybrid cloud era. With LinuxONE, IBM also introduced a flexible new pricing model.
IBM’s Linux partner SUSE followed that news at SUSECon with plans to extend that pricing model to include the SUSE Enterprise Linux distribution pricing for LinuxONE, creating a flexible end-to-end pricing option.
In a new blog, Steven Dickens, IBM LinuxONE Offering Manager and Economics Lead, reflects on the significance of SUSE’s announcement: “The push for customized offerings is found everywhere in the business world, especially in the IT systems that underpin organizations," Dickens writes. "Companies want to choose the resources that best meet their needs, and they want to make the most of their IT spending on those resources.”

Linux on IBM z Systems can offer customers cost savings, in addition to levels of security, and scalability not available with other platforms. Running the Linux operating system on z Systems provides an enterprise grade Linux solution, especially with the new IBM z13 (z13), and from the synergistic combination of z/VM virtualization, IBM Wave for z/VM virtualization management, and other technologies, such as IBM Spectrum Scale—based on IBM GPFS, IBM zAware and the IBM GDPS Virtual Appliance.
For more information, go here. IBM LinuxONE System Scales New Heights
IBM Fellow Donna Dillenberger’s demonstration of the IBM LinuxONE system for scalable financial trading has racked up more than 140,000 views. Her demonstration illustrates multiple data loads (live data from the S&P 500 and Tweets) streaming via Maria DB, MongoDB, Spark Analytics, Chef, Docker and PostgreSQL.
Why all the interest? Check out Mary Hall’s Mainframe Insights blog

IBM and Xilinx Accelerate Data Center Applications
IBM and Xilinx have formed a multi-year strategic collaboration to enable higher performance and energy-efficient data center applications through Xilinx FPGA-enabled workload acceleration on IBM POWER-based systems. IBM and Xilinx, through a private signed agreement and collaboration through the OpenPOWER Foundation, are teaming to develop open acceleration infrastructures, software and middleware to address emerging applications such as machine learning, network functions virtualization (NFV), genomics, high performance computing (HPC) and big data analytics.
As part of the IBM and Xilinx strategic collaboration, IBM Systems Group developers will create solution stacks for POWER-based servers, storage and middleware systems with Xilinx FPGA accelerators for data center architectures such as OpenStack, Docker, and Spark. IBM will also develop and qualify Xilinx accelerator boards into IBM Power Systems servers. Additionally, IBM and Xilinx will continue to further utilize IBM’s innovative Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) to deliver accelerated computing value to its clients. CAPI, a unique feature built into the POWER architecture, provides Xilinx and the technology industry at large with the ability to build tightly integrated, coherent solutions right on top of the POWER architecture.
More details are available here.
Dancing Dinosaur: Latest IBM Initiatives Drive Power Advantages over x86
Analyst Alan Radding recently posted an article about IBM’s recent POWER- based systems news, including IBM's multi-year strategic collaboration with Xilinx, and OpenPOWER Foundation members’ new technologies, collaborations and developer resources.
“The combination of collaborations and alliances are clearly aimed at establishing Power as the high performance leader for the new generation of workloads,” Radding writes. “Noted IBM, independent software vendors already are leveraging IBM Flash Storage attached to CAPI to create very large memory spaces for in-memory processing of analytics, enabling the same query workloads to run with a fraction of the number of servers compared to commodity x86 solutions. These breakthroughs enable POWER8-based systems to continue where the promise of Moore’s Law falls short, by delivering performance gains through OpenPOWER ecosystem-driven, full stack innovation.”

The IBM POWER8 Review: Challenging Intel Xeon
In a new article on the Anandtech website, Johan De Gelas explains how the IBM POWER8 is challenging the Intel Xeon. “Five years. That is how much time has passed since we have seen an affordable server processor that could keep up with or even beat Intel's best Xeons,” writes De Gelas on the Anandtech site. “These days no less than 95% of the server CPUs shipped are Intel Xeons. A few years ago, it looked like ARM servers were going to shake up the market this year, but to cut a long story short, it looks like the IBM POWER8 chip is probably the only viable alternative for the time being.”
Check out the article here.
OpenPOWER's Order-of-Magnitude Performance Improvements
In a new post on the Ptak Associates Tech Blog site, Rich Ptak and Bill Moran weigh in on the technology acceleration announcements by IBM and other OpenPOWER Foundation members.
“Performance improvements come in different sizes,” Ptak and Moran write. “Often vendors announce a 20% or 30% performance improvement along with an increase in the price/performance of their product or technology. Much more rarely, a vendor delivers an order-of-magnitude improvement. An order-of-magnitude improvement equates to a performance increase of a factor of 10.”

IBM developerWorks Premium Accelerates Speed and Efficiency of Deploying Cloud Projects
Cloud represents a sea change in the way that developers work, increasing productivity and decreasing cost, while also providing more flexibility that encourages innovation anywhere, at any time.To further support this flexibility, IBM has launched developerWorks Premium, a subscription model of its developerWorks community that provides developers with exclusive, member-only curated tools and resources for IBM Cloud. With developerWorks Premium, developers now have an all-access pass to cloud-based IBM offerings and services that will help them rapidly prototype, develop and deploy cloud projects.
The new cloud-based developerWorks Premium annual subscription capitalizes on the inherent productivity and cost-saving benefits of cloud and takes them a step further. By providing access to IBM Cloud services like Bluemix, SoftLayer, and MobileFirst, developers can go from prototype to production quickly on an interconnected, scalable, and secure cloud architecture. In addition, one of the many resources included within developerWorks Premium is GitHub, a community where more than 11 million people build software together. Now a part of the developerWorks Premium offering, the developerWorks community will be able to discover, fork and contribute to the over 29 million existing projects on GitHub, as well as create new projects.
