Super Computing 22 OpenPOWER ADG Workshop

Dr. Peter Hofstee

Hofstee is best known for his contributions to Heterogeneous computing as the chief architect of the Synergistic Processor Elements in the Cell Broadband Engine processor used in the Sony PlayStation 3, and the first supercomputer to reach sustained Petaflop operation. After returning to IBM research in 2011 he has focused on optimising the system roadmap for big data, analytics, and cloud, including the use of accelerated compute. His early research work on coherently attached reconfigurable acceleration on POWER7 paved the way for the new coherent attach processor interface on POWER8. Hofstee is an IBM Master Inventor with more than 100 issued patents.[4]

In-Memory Big Data for Power 10
Dr. Peter Hofstee

With a design that support a memory footprint up to 2 Petabytes ( with memory inception ) the Power 10 is the premier processor and platform for large in-memory database and big data applications. This talk will highlight the underlying technologies that enable this advantage, recent results and software developments that help enable an efficient in-memory approach
