(Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface)Two major technology trends will heavily impact the industry Hardware acceleration will become commonplace as microprocessortechnology and design continues to deliver far less than the historical rate ofcost/performance improvement per generation New advanced memory technologies will change the economics of computingThe new standard, called OpenCAPI provides an open, high-speed pathway fordifferent types of technology – advanced memory, accelerators, networking andstorage – to more tightly integrate their functions within servers.This data-centric approach to server design, which puts the compute powercloser to the data, removes inefficiencies in traditional system architectures tohelp eliminate system bottlenecks and significantly improve serverperformance.http://opencapi.org/about/ IBM Corporation, 2016

Hardware SODs IBM plans to add the new memory and I/O features announced on the Power E850C(8408-44E) to the existing Power E850 server (8408-E8E) in a future firmware Service Packin 1H 2017. Features planned for support include 16GB, 32GB and 64GB DDR4 CDIMMs,EXP12SX and EXP24SX SAS Expansion Units, 100GbE adapter, 100Gb EDR InfiniBandadapter and PCIe Cryptographic Adapter. IBM plans to provide SAS cables longer than 3 meters for the new EXP12SX and EXP24SXSAS Storage Enclosures in 1H 2017. This will allow clients with data center constraints tomore conveniently locate the enclosures in their data center similar to the existing EXP24Senclosure cabling options.Standard SOD DisclaimerIBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.
