Idea from @fosdem discussions: #Power 11 #AI workstation. #IBM has all the technologies to make it real: Power 11 and the #Spyre #ArtificialIntelligence accelerator:

Even if never implemented, it's worth learning about the technologies.

Idea from FOSDEM: Power 11 AI workstation

During CES Nvidia announced a new AI desktop supercomputer: Project DIGITS. Starting at $3000 it puts AI processing capabilities on the desktop what just recently needed multiple servers and a few more zeroes at the end of the price tag. As an IBM Champion for POWER my first thought was that Project DIGITS is nice, but I’d love to see something based on POWER. Of course it’s just a game of thoughts, as IBM left the workstation business many years ago, both for x86 and POWER.

Mainframe is dead, you argue? Well … at HotChips 2024, IBM showed their new Telum II mainframe CPU, accompanied by the Spyre AI Accelerator card. Specs are quite impressive. The entire presentation is on YouTube, enjoy: https://youtu.be/uC0Jpfy5uj8?t=3788 #ibm #mainframe #telumii #spyre #hotchips2024

Future of #BigIron: #TelumII and #Spyre
#IBM’s big #mainframe props up almost every key industry world-wide due to features such as 9x9 (99.999999%) uptime, security, and hardware focused on database and transaction processing.
#Telum became centerpiece of 4th gen #LinuxOne – a series of #Linux systems purely for z architecture. Another big focus, for #z15 and LinuxOne, was built-in #AI engine with every chip, allowing focused models to run alongside critical workloads.

„Wenn bei der #TRP #Spyre der Bremsarm (ich hoffe, dieses Teil, das durch den Seilzug gezogen wird, heißt so) beim Ziehen plötzlich leicht knackt, einrastet und manuell wieder zurück gedrückt werden kann, dann bedeutet das was?“

Ich fordere für Dich mal die geballte Kompetenz dieser Plattform zusammen. Irgendjemand eine Idee?
