Khamphani ea IBM mabapi le ho bula Power instruction set architecture (ISA). IBM e ne e se e thehile Consortium ea OpenPOWER ka 2013, e fana ka menyetla ea laesense bakeng sa thepa ea bohlale e amanang le MATLA le phihlello e felletseng ea litlhaloso. Ka nako e ts'oanang, li-royalty li ile tsa tsoela pele ho bokelloa bakeng sa ho fumana lengolo la tumello ea ho hlahisa li-chips. Ho tloha joale ho ea pele, ho iketsetsa liphetoho tsa hau tsa li-chips tse ipapisitseng le meralo ea litaelo tsa Power e tla fumaneha phatlalatsa mme ha e hloke meputso. Sena se kenyelletsa tokelo ea ho sebelisa litokelo tsohle tsa IBM tse amanang le Matla ntle ho tefo, le tsamaiso ea morero e fetisetsoa sechabeng, e leng hona joale.
e tla ameha mekhoeng ea ho etsa liqeto.
Mokhatlo o okametseng nts'etsopele, OpenPOWER Foundation, o tla tlas'a lepheo la Linux Foundation, e tla theha sethala se ikemetseng bakeng sa nts'etsopele e kopanetsoeng ea meralo ea Matla, ntle le ho tlamelloa ho moetsi ea itseng. Ho mokhatlo oa OpenPOWER o se o ntse o le teng lik'hamphani tse fetang 350. Likhoutu tse fetang limilione tse 3 bakeng sa firmware ea sistimi, litlhaloso le li-circuits tse hlokahalang ho theha li-chips tse lumellanang le Matla li arolelanoe le sechaba.
Ntle le ho etsa likarolo tsa meralo ea meralo ea Open Hardware, IBM e boetse e kentse letsoho sechabeng mahlale a mang a amanang le a sebelisitsoeng ho li-chips tsa Power9, ho kenyeletsoa ts'ebetsong ea software (softcore) ea POWER ISA, hammoho le moralo oa litšupiso bakeng sa nts'etsopele ea sebopeho- likeketso tse thehiloeng (Open Coherent Accelerator Interface) le OMI (Open Memory Interface). Ts'ebetsong ea software e fanoeng e u lumella ho etsisa ts'ebetso ea processor ea litšupiso u sebelisa Xilinx FPGA.
Theknoloji ea OpenCAPI e tla etsa hore ho khonehe ho finyella ts'ebetso e phahameng ka ho fetisisa le ho tlosa li-bottlenecks ha ho hlophisoa tšebelisano pakeng tsa li-processor cores le lisebelisoa tse kopantsoeng, tse kang GPUs, ASICs, li-accelerator tse fapa-fapaneng tsa lisebelisoa, lisebelisoa tsa marang-rang le balaoli ba polokelo. OMI e tla potlakisa ts'ebetso ea balaoli ba memori le ho fokotsa li-latencies tse hlahisoang. Mohlala, ka lebaka la litlatsetso tsena tse ipapisitseng le Matla, ho tla khonahala ho theha li-chips tse khethehileng tse ntlafalitsoeng bakeng sa ho rarolla mathata a bohlale ba maiketsetso le tlhahlobo ea data e sebetsang hantle mohopolong.
Ha ho bapisoa le meaho e seng e ntse e fumaneha и , Mohaho oa Motlakase o khahleha haholo hobane o itokiselitse ho theha mekhoa ea morao-rao ea li-server, liforomo tsa indasteri le lihlopha. Ka mohlala, ka tšebelisano-'moho pakeng tsa IBM le NVIDIA le Mellanox, lihlopha tse peli tse kholo ka ho fetisisa tsa lefats'e li ile tsa qalisoa ho ipapisitsoe le meralo ea Matla, e etellang pele. Li-supercomputer tse holimo tse 500.
