IBM and the OpenPOWER Foundation are pushing for a wider + software and hardware ecosystem for POWER8-based systems. + Starting in January 2014, we have been doing bringup work on a + Tyan GN70-BP010 POWER8 server, a quad-core 3 GHz system with a + total of 32 hardware threads.

+ +

Updates since the previous report:

+ + + + + The &os; Foundation + + + +

Get &os; booting natively, rather than under KVM. This + requires writing OPAL drivers for the various hardware + devices in the system.

+ + + +

Integrate loader(8) with petitboot.
