This document provides an overview of implementing IBM i on Power blade servers. It discusses the hardware components including different Power blade models, expansion adapters, switch modules, and storage options. It also covers virtualization technologies like VIOS and highlights some 4Q 2009 enhancements. The presentation aims to help users understand where to start with an IBM i blade implementation and the various hardware configuration options.
The IBM zEnterprise System, introduced last July is arguably the most significant new systems architecture in 20 years and took smarter computing and optimized systems to a whole new level.
This revolutionary system introduced a new hybrid computing model capable of integrating and managing multiple (or today’s most prevalent) architectures in a single integrated system making it possible to begin collapsing individual islands of computing to reduce complexity, improve security, and bring business applications and workloads closer to the data they need. This hybrid environment allows clients to optimize workloads, deploy enterprise clouds, and take action based on real-time analytics and big data.
iW-RainboW-G8M-Q7 (Q7 Compatible i.MX51 Module) is based on Freescale's i.MX51 multimedia application processor comply with Qseven? Rel.1.20. The processor features advanced and power-efficient implementation of the ARM Cortex A8 core, which operates at speeds of 800 MHz and higher. This module provides advanced peripheral integration, green energy efficient-power savings, reduced time to market and it can be used for any portable computing applications like Industrial Handheld, High-end PDAs, Advanced HMI, Secure Devices, Automotive Handhelds, Mobile Internet Devices, Wireless Medical Handheld devices, etc.
This form factor allows space-saving hardware designs as well as quick and simple integration of the module into the target application

IBM System x3850 X5 Technical PresentationCliff Kinard
Detailed technical overview of a IBM's System x3850 x5 Intel processor-based server.
The x3850 X5 server allows freedom of choice with extremely flexible configurations plus memory expansion capabilities. A modular building block design lets you customize your system for current needs while providing the ability to react to changing workloads. Expand your 4-socket, 64-DIMM x3850 X5 to 4 sockets and 96 DIMMs or up to 8 sockets and 128 DIMMs. Reallocate resources as your environment changes. The x3850 X5 meets your needs today, while providing an easy, cost-effective upgrade path to change your environment when you’re ready.
Mitigation and adaptation strategies for coping with the potential adverse effects of global climate change. If the predictions are right, we will be living with the effects of global climate change for the rest of our lives. Many countries are now making large investments in mitigation and anticipatory adaptation actions. Leaders recogniize that the effects of global climate change will likely increase the risks for people, businesses, and communities living in or located in coastal areas or in river floodplains.

TOWARDS GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE:
Step 1: Integrating Today’s Global Knowledge Into Global Books of Knowledge
Step 2: From Today’s Books of Knowledge to Innovative Capacity Building
Step 3: From Today’s Paradigm to Tomorrow’s
A focus on actions in 2015 will accelerate the transition from the past 14 years of global disaster proneness to global disaster resilience by 2020. A snaphot of our world circa 1st January 2015: 7+ billion people, and growing while Living and competing in an interconnected global economy, producing $60 trillion+ of products each year,and facing complex disasters every year that cause multi-billions in losses and reduce a community’s ability to withstand natural catastrophes. The challenge of our time in the 21st century: Protecting and preserving PEOPLE and COMMUNITIES from the potential disaster agents of natural hazards. The “best solution set” vis a vis the global policy framework to strengthen disaster resilience include (1) anticipate and plan for the full spectrum of what can happen; (2) to build capacity at the community level to strengthen disaster in the areas of preparedness, protection, early warning, emergency response, and recovery/reconstruction; (3) to be relentless in informing, educating, training, and building equity in all areas that constitute disaster resilience in all sectors of every community in every nation. WE KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT. But just knowing is not enough. Tangible action is essential to reach the urgent goal of global disaster resilience by 2020 and will require that all communities work strategically to implement a realistic set of scientific, technical, and political solutions nested within EXISTING administrative, legal, and economic constraints. Presentation courtesy of Dr Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction.
A disease outbreak like a natural disaster impacts all elements of society. There is a common agenda for societal sustainability whether preparing for outbreaks of Ebola or pandemics of influenza or earthquakes. The principles of strengthening community resilience are the same for natural disasters as they are for epidemics of communicable disease. The successful response to a deadly epidemic and a catastrophic natural disaster depends on community participation, education, awareness of the threat, what to expect and early warning.

The most powerful typhoon of the 2013 season approached the northern Philippines and southern Taiwan on Friday (Sept. 20) with wind reaching 300 kph (184 mph) and torrential rain. POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF USAGI:
* Usagi has a diameter of 1,100 kilometers (660 miles), with outer rain bands extending across the main northern Philippine island of Luzon and southern Taiwan.
* Forecasters predict 24-hour rainfall accumulation of 500 millimeters (nearly 20 inches) near its center.
It will require new thinking and a strategic concentration of limited national and global resources to move from the current status quo of depending upon almost all emergency response operations to cope with almost all natural hazards to a wise mix of anticipation of what will likely happen, and implementation of the five integrated disaster resiliency policies to cope with the expected and unexpected that happen all the time a natural hazard occurs in our chaotic world. Who can provide the leadership for this kind of major paradigm shift? Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
Hurricane Sandy: a $300 billion storm; October 24, 2012. Sandy, 2012’s ninth hurricane, became a huge storm with wind and rain bands reaching out 500 km or more from the storm center, producing 15-50 cm of rain and flooding in Jamaica, Bermuda, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, New Jersey, and New York.

TOWARDS GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE: Every nation has dozens of “windows of opportunity” after a new disaster occurs to use the updated books of knowledge for innovative capacity building. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
RUSSIA HAS MANY RIVERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED FLOODING Russia, the largest country in the world, and the only one surrounded by twelve seas and spread out on two continents, has many communities that are at risk from riverine flooding, flash floods, and floods from windstorms. Russia’s rivers in Europe include: the Volga, the Don, the Kama, the Oka, and the Northern Dvina. In Asia, Russia’s rivers include: the Ob, the Irtysh, the Yenisev, the Angara, the Lena, the Amur, the Yana, the Indiqirka, and the Kolyma.

Today Fujitsu published specifications for the A64FX CPU to be featured in the post-K computer, a future machine designed to be 100 times faster than the legendary K computer that dominated the TOP500 for years.
A64FX is the world's first CPU to adopt the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), an extension of Armv8-A instruction set architecture for supercomputers. Building on over 60 years' worth of Fujitsu-developed microarchitecture, this chip offers peak performance of over 2.7 TFLOPS, demonstrating superior HPC and AI performance. A64FX offers a number of features, including broad utility supporting a wide range of applications, massive parallelization through the Tofu interconnect, low power consumption, and mainframe-class reliability.
A64FX is the world's first CPU to adopt the SVE of Arm Limited's Armv8-A instruction set architecture, extended for supercomputers. Fujitsu collaborated with Arm, contributing to the development of the SVE as a lead partner, and adopted the results in the A64FX.
