4. Founding Members
in 2013
The OpenPOWER Foundation is a collaboration around Power Architecture
products founded by 5 companies in 2015
IBM opened up the technologies surrounding Power Architecture offerings, such
as processor specifications, firmware and software
11. What is CORAL?
The program through which Summit & Sierra are procured.
Several DOE labs have strong supercomputing programs and facilities.
To bring the next generation of leading supercomputers to these labs, DOE
created CORAL (the Collaboration of Oak Ridge, Argonne, and Livermore) to
jointly procure these systems, and in so doing, align strategy and resources
across the DOE enterprise.
Collaboration grouping of DOE labs was done based on common acquisition
timings. Collaboration is a win-win for all parties.
“Summit” System “Sierra” System
OpenPOWER Technologies: IBM POWER CPUs, NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, Mellanox EDR 1
