NEW INNOVATION AVAILABLE ONLY ON POWER

POWERAccel

A unique and differentiated family of I/O technologies, designed to deliver

composable system performance enabled by accelerators.

Introducing a

NEW processor

POWER8 with NVLink

Technology

Flexibility

Compose systems with a variety

of accelerators using industry

standard form factors

GPU Acceleration

NVIDIA NVLink™- High performance interface developed in partnership with NVIDIA delivering

nearly 5X better integration between POWER processors and NVIDIA

GPUs

FPGA Acceleration

CAPI architecture - Integrating

accelerators to run natively as

part of the application


Today we introduce three new OpenPOWER servers

Two designed for data rich and compute intensive applications

And our 2nd generation HPC server with superior GPU acceleration

Leverage the densest

POWER server to attain

nearly 7,000 threads in a

rack. 80% more threads than

a rack of HPE systems

Drive your data with 70%

better price-performance on

open source data bases

than HPE Systems

Experience acceleration like

it was intended to be with

nearly 3X the bandwidth

from CPU-GPU compared

to PCIe based systems
