Daily news about Linux on POWER

Christmas time is time to relax and think

We will stop building the Fedora Atomic Desktops for the PowerPC 64 LE architecture. As such, it makes sense for Fedora to stop building Atomic desktops for this architecture.

Learn to deploy x86 microservices on IBM Power using OpenShift in this hands-on lab featuring the classic Sock Shop demo. 90-minute tutorial.

Before getting too worked up when seeing the “cxl: Deprecate driver” patch, this is about the Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) that predates the Compute Express Link. IBM engineers announced they are deprecating the upstream CXL & CXLFLASH Linux kernel drivers with plans to then remove the drivers from the mainline kernel the following cycle.

A central challenge to understanding airborne transmission has been the inability of experimental science to reliably probe the structure and dynamics of viruses once they are inside respiratory aerosol particles. “Medical dogma has long focused on droplets as the main transmission route for respiratory viruses, but airborne transmission via aerosols also plays a significant role in spreading disease, as evidenced by super-spreader events,” said Rommie Amaro, endowed chair and professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California San Diego.

Scaling is key :-)) ! Now really large OLTP S/4HANA implementations are supported:up to 128 TB (Scale-Out 4 nodes with each 32 TB) – on premand up to 4 nodes with 30.5 TB each on Power Virtual Server! For details please have a look into SAP Note 2188482:https://me.sap.com/notes/2188482

No, I only didn’t write about it.

In collaboration with IBM, the system now integrates laboratory workflows, image scanning systems, and centralised data processing, establishing a cohesive approach for pathological cancer diagnosis and laying the foundation for SiPH’s future advancements in cancer diagnostics. “Today’s success in transforming our pathology workflows and enhancing diagnostic quality will ultimately lead to more accurate cancer diagnostics, benefiting patients across Thailand and ASEAN,” said Pornsuk Cheunsuchon, director of Digital Pathology Center at SiPH.

This is a practical demonstration showing how to build and deploy private LLM and RAG applications using OpenShift, LLama-cpp, Streamlit, Milvus vector Database, Minio and Etcd on IBM Power. Includes LLama-cpp, Streamlit, Milvus Vector Database, Minio & etcd, OpenShift & Power10 for Enterprise AI with secure data privacy.

Plus, it seems like those 15-core Power10 CPUs have a base clock speed of 3.55 GHz. If we use the somewhat contemporaneous example of Sapphire Rapids, the 60 core Xeon 8490H (which scales up to 8 sockets) has a base clock of 1.9 GHz. I’d take 60 cores at 1.9 GHz vs. Leaving aside the above discrepancy (120, by my count), I think it’s funny you’re trying to equate SMT threads as if each POWER10 core has 4x the backend throughput as each Zen 5 core (or Zen 4C, I’m not sure which AMD CPU you’re comparing against, at this point).

POWER chips tend to come out only every 5 years or so, but typically leapfrog whatever amd/intel have by at least 3-4. POWER is used by tons of large enterprises with needs too big for x86 shitboxes from amd/intel but to small to justify the cost of a Z-arch mainframe.
