I usually write about engineering topics surrounding openPOWER servers in this blog. This time, I thought it would be nice to extend that to list exciting things that are going to be shared at OCP Summit 2018
If you are attending Open Compute Summit 2018 (March 20-21) in San Jose, and want to see some cool things that OpenPOWER is bringing to the Open Compute eco-system, you are in the right place.
Here’s a list of things you could attend / visit to see what’s in store with Power9 in OCP form-factor .
Engineering Talks:
Accelerator Eco-System on Google / Rackspace – Zaius / Barreleye G2 Server
