So...
I sit on the POWER Customer Advisory Board, what you have raised has certainly been something I've told IBM multiple times over the last few meetings I've had with them.
I plan to continue pushing on this front.
- ethbro 9y agoFrom IBM's history, I'd assume this is chalked up to IBM institutional inertia (enterprise customers make big deployments, nothing else matters) than willfully doing it for some other profit-oriented purpose?
- newman314 9y agoThere are NDA items I can't get into but certainly it's not the case where I've just been shouting into the wind.
- PedroBatista 9y agoAll of IBM DNA is structured to sell big contracts and deal with a relative small number of customers with very deep pockets. Even when they try some new trend ( aka cloud computing for the masses ) the economics aren't that good because the way they are structured, it's a culture thing. It's like Intel developing ARM CPUs, they have the means, but they can't do it successfully.
- ori_b 9y agoThank you. I would love to meet around with POWER, but I don't have any way to get my hands on it for a price I can justify.
- wallnuss 9y agoOne of the things that Nvidia quite successfully did (and Intel to some extent) is a ridiculously good academic outreach program. Making it easy (and cheap) for students and researchers to use you hardware leads to long-term buy-in.
