<title>OpenPOWER Foundation overview</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The OpenPOWER Foundation was founded in 2013 as an open technical membership organization
|
|
that will enable data centers to rethink their approach to technology. Member companies
|
|
are enabled to customize POWER CPU processors and system platforms for optimization and
|
|
innovation for their business needs. These innovations include custom systems for large
|
|
or warehouse scale data centers, workload acceleration through GPU, FPGA or advanced I/O,
|
|
platform optimization for SW appliances, or advanced hardware technology exploitation.
|
|
OpenPOWER members are actively pursing all of these innovations and more and welcome
|
|
all parties to join in moving the state of the art of OpenPOWER systems design forward.
