  • 1.  About memory inception

    Posted 8 days ago

    Hi fellows

    I've been reading about memory inception in power10 and it's really interesting. I wonder: is there any live implementation of such technology on any customer? I'd like to know about how's the deal with srad in such environments.

    TIA.

    Hi,

    I am no longer an IBMer so this is my opinion but Memory Inception was a good idea and is possible with the Power10 server models hardware but it was not developed.

    That would require serious firmware, HMC, and OS development work in the many person-years size and the same again in testing.

    It may be working at some ultra secret USA governmental department but we will never know.

    If you have a few billion dollars available to fund the project, do step forward.  I would like to get nmon running on it :-)

    Hope this helps.

    Hi

    I don't have such money. 

    I wonder how, in theory, those Power-AXON connections are made: point to point, hub based, very high speed switch? 

    As you already said it takes a lot of money and time and work to develop such idea.

    So far this is the best explanation i have found:

    Thanks.
