Porting and Benchmarking of BWAKIT pipeline on Open POWER architecture
This paper describes how to port various pre-built application binaries used in BWAKIT into OpenPOWER architecture and execute the BWAKIT pipeline successfully.
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology produces large volume of genome data, which gets processed using various open source Bioinformatics tools. The configuration and compilation of some of the bioinformatics tools (e.g. BWAKIT, root) are challenging, requiring application porting for some architectures (e.g. IBM Power). Moreover, the application porting should not change the semantics of the program and output generated from different architectures should be similar across different architectures. Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) is the most popular genome mapping application used in BWAKIT toolset. The BWAKIT provides pre-compiled binaries for x86_64 architecture and end-to-end solution for genome mapping. This paper describes how to port various pre-built application binaries used in BWAKIT into OpenPOWER architecture and execute the BWAKIT pipeline successfully. In addition, it reports the validation of the output results on OpenPOWER to confirm the successful porting of BWAKIT.
Note: This paper is the result of collaboration within members of the Personalized Medicine Workgroup and Sidra medical and Research Center. Read More |

PSL / AFU Interface: CAPI 2.0
The POWER Service Layer to Accelerator Functional Unit (PSL / AFU) interface communicates to the acceleration logic running on the FPGA. Through this interface, the PSL offers services to the AFU. The services offered are cache-line oriented and allow the AFU to make buffering versus throughput trade-offs. The interface to the AFU is composed of six independent interfaces: Together these interfaces allow software to control the AFU state and allow the AFU to access data in the system.

OpenPOWER Memory Bus (OPMB) Specification
The OpenPOWER Memory Bus Specification defines the OpenPOWER Memory Bus Architecture. The architecture and spec are used to develop Memory Function Units(MFU) and to integration of those MFUs into the OpenPOWER system structure. An MFU is a logic block developed by a member of the OpenPOWER eco-system to attach special purpose memory technology and function processing for data stored in the memory technology. An example of MFU might be a database function accelerator which attaches dense flash memory technology. This figure illustrates the concept.

64-Bit ELF V2 ABI Specification: Power Architecture
This specification defines the OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI (application binary interface). This ABI is derived from and represents the first major update to the Power ABI since the original release of the IBM® RS/6000® ABI. It was developed to make extensive use of new functions available in OpenPOWER-compliant processors. It expects an OpenPOWER-compliant processor to implement at least Power ISA V2.07B with all OpenPOWER Architecture instruction categories as well as OpenPOWER-defined implementation characteristics for some implementation-specific features.
The Executable and Linking Format (ELF) defines a linking interface for executables and shared objects in two parts: the first part is the generic System V ABI, the second part is a processor-specific supplement. This document, the OpenPOWER ABI for Linux Supplement for the Power Architecture 64-bit ELF V2 ABI, is the OpenPOWER-compliant processor-specific supplement for use with ELF V2 on 64-bit IBM Power Architecture® systems. This is not a complete System V ABI supplement because it does not define any library interfaces. This document establishes both big-endian and little-endian application binary interfaces. OpenPOWER-compliant processors in the 64-bit Power Architecture can execute in either big-endian or little-endian mode. Executables and executable-generated data (in general) that subscribes to either byte ordering is not portable to a system running in the other mode.
ERRATA: An OpenPOWER ELFv2 Errata: For ELFv2 ABI Version 1.4 has been published. These errata should be considered part of this specification until such time as a newer version of the full specification is published.
This document is a Standards Track, Work Group work product owned by the System Software Workgroup and handled in compliance with the requirements outlined in the OpenPOWER Foundation Work Group (WG) Process document. It was created using the Master Template Guide version 1.0.

Best Practices for Migrating Linux/x86 Applications to Linux on IBM Power Systems
October 7, 2011 by Pat Fleming
Read More
With its 2010 launch of a new generation of Power Systems servers and blades based on the POWER7 processor architecture, IBM has extended its market lead and elevated system performance, throughput and energy efficiency to unprecedented levels that far outpace competitors. Most importantly, the new architecture also provides the foundation for the integrated PowerVM virtualization solution to deliver unrivaled scalability, flexibility and robustness. As a result, enterprise workloads deployed in PowerVM virtual machines (VMs) not only run faster on POWER7-based platforms, but they can also scale further and be optimized more efficiently. |

OpenPOWER Ready™ Definition and Criteria – V1.0
The OpenPOWER Foundation set up the OpenPOWER Ready™ program in 2016. Within the program, developers identify products for use by members of the OpenPOWER ecosystem. The OpenPOWER Ready mark indicates that a product should work with other OpenPOWER Ready products. Because of this the OpenPOWER Foundation is suggesting that entities providing such products join the foundation. The OpenPOWER Ready Definition and Criteria document describes the details of the program. Since there are several types of products categorized in the document they are listed below. Because of the differences between the categories of products the criteria varies between them. Developers will find the categories and criteria described in the document. OpenPOWER Ready Product Categories
Companies and other entities can make a strong statement about their support of the OpenPOWER technology as an alternative to other server solutions by becoming a member of the OpenPOWER Foundation membership. Interested readers can find information about the OpenPOWER Foundation at the foundation’s website: https://openpowerfoundation.org/. Read More |

Porting GPU-Accelerated Applications to POWER8 Systems
With the US Department of Energy’s announcement of plans to base two future flagship supercomputers on IBM POWER CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA NVLink interconnect, and Mellanox high-speed networking, many developers are getting started building GPU-accelerated applications that run on IBM POWER processors. The good news is that porting existing applications to this platform is easy. In fact, smooth sailing is already being reported by software development leaders such as Erik Lindahl, Professor of Biophysics at the Science for Life Laboratory, Stockholm University & KTH, developer of the GROMACS molecular dynamics package:
The combination of POWER8 CPUs & NVIDIA Tesla accelerators is amazing. It is the highest performance we have ever seen in individual cores, and the close integration with accelerators is outstanding for heterogeneous parallelization. Thanks to the little endian chip and standard CUDA environment it took us less than 24 hours to port and accelerate GROMACS. |
