16OpenPOWER Recap Day 2
During Day 2 of our coverage of
SC16, we learned a lot about how
HPC, data analytics, and AI are
coming together.

At each layer of the stack, we have started looking at how HPC, Big Data, and Machine Learning are melding together and how we can design future systems to address this conversion.
And why it’s natural that this disciplines
go together.
In order to solve these problems, we need a combination of deep learning neural networks and extremelylarge data sets.

Behind the glamour and excitement, we’re a manufacturing company,and our HPC is mission critical.
OpenPOWER is paving the way for them to adopt an
HPC infrastructure to solve all kinds of challenges!
When it comes to processors, POWER8 is the
clear choice, after all we have…
4xThreads per core vs. x86
Memory bandwidth vs. x86
Cache per core vs. x86
We also have a dedicated ecosystem of industry leaders dedicated to advancing the OpenPOWER architecture.
Scot SchultzDirectorHPC & Technical Computing
Mellanox & OpenPOWER demonstrate the benefitsof industry collaboration in scientific research &life-changing discoveries. Industry co-design efforts,in-network computing & the transformational capabilities of Mellanox’s HDR 200Gb/s Quantum & ConnectX-6 playa fundamental role in advancing science & data.
Mark K. JohnsonBusiness DevelopmentKinetica
Since the first large volume data warehousing in the 1990s to today’s in-memory databases, data analytics has been plagued by challenges in cost, performance, & scale. GPU acceleration makes those challenges a thing of the past.
Randall RossUbuntu Community ManagerCanonical
Ubuntu supports HPC by treating the solutions holistically. A real HPC solution is one that addresses the whole stack. We’re making PowerAI possible.
Working with the OpenPOWERcommunity allows SiliconScapesto do what they do best: developing customized vision analytics.
