Last December, I wrote a blog post about big data. In it I mentioned the central role the massive number crunching capability of the new Power8 CPU plays in meeting the demands of today’s big computing tasks. In this post, I want to focus on one of the key components of the Power8 compute solution, which is its ability to make use of hardware based computational accelerators.
