Abstract

The IBM POWER9 architecture offers a substantial set of novel and performance-improvement features that are made available to both scale-up and scale-out applications via system software. These features provide significant performance improvements for cognitive, cloud, and virtualization workloads, many of which use dynamic scripting languages. In this paper, we describe some of the key features.
