AI Power

IBM has developed the new IBM Power Systems server with its likewise newly designed Power 9 processor specifically for computationally intensive AI workloads. It can be used to accelerate training times in the area of deep learning by up to four times. This makes it possible to build faster and more accurate AI-based applications. Some key components of the new processor were developed at IBM's German research and development center in Böblingen near Stuttgart. These include, for example, a PCI Express 4.0 interface that delivers up to twice the speed of its predecessor, as well as new hardware features to support high-precision (128-bit) floating-point operations, which are especially important for high-performance scientific computing. Support for blockchain applications through power systems and improved computing performance per watt were also realized with the help of the German experts.
