Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power

IBM AC922 is being used in my organization for machine and deep learning modeling. We find it is best uses are the GPU and NVLink capabilities.
  • Fast machine learning - It works in minutes instead of hours.
  • Better capabilities with NVLink in comparison to Intel x86.
  • Fabric capabilities are great in a cluster.
  • More software applications need to be written to gain full use of IBM AC922 and its capabilities.
  • SAS Institute is finally releasing SAS Viya on this platform later in 2019.
  • We have been able to reduce overall computing costs.
  • It has sped up model training times due to it being the fastest architecture currently available.
NVidia GPUs by themselves cannot solve the model requirements that need CPUs.
IBM AC922 is less appropriate for large businesses with hundreds or thousands of business intelligence users. The IBM 980 series seems to make more sense in those applications.
