64-bit ELF V2 ABI Specification – Review DRAFT
This is the first public review draft of the 64-bit ELF V2 ABI Specification, a document created and maintained and approved by the System Software Workgroup for publication. The ABI (application binary interface) specification provides the definitions for the machine interface and inter-object interfaces for the little-endian POWER architecture. This specification defines the OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI which 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. SUMMARY: 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: This document is an update to version 1.4 at this link https://openpowerfoundation.org/?resource_lib=64-bit-elf-v2-abi-specification-power-architecture and includes the following changes from Revision 1.4: • Errata recorded at https://openpowerfoundation.org/?resource_lib=openpower-elfv2-errata-elfv2-abi-version-1-4 have been incorporated into this document. • PowerISA version 3.1 introduces PC-relative instructions for accessing code and data. Thus compilers and assembly programmers that target version 3.1 or later can, if desired, avoid usage of a TOC pointer for such accesses. The ABI has been updated to describe the implications of this new capability. • Appendix A, “Predefined Functions for Vector Programming,” and most of Chapter 6, “Vector Programming Interfaces,” have been removed from this document. This material is now incorpo-rated into the POWER Vector Intrinsics Programming Reference. See Section 1.1, “ReferenceDocumentation” [1] for a link to this document. FEEDBACK: 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.

Cartesian Theatre – Helios
Helios is a powerful B2B technology to allow searching of large commercial music libraries by using music itself as the search key. There are many uses for Helios. Here are a few examples. * You have a digital jukebox in bars, restaurants, and pubs. You want venue patrons to be able to play more music like whatever they just paid to hear. * You have a music catalogue management platform that publishers and labels use to track their digital assets. Your customers want to be able to search within their own catalogue using your slick platform. * You have an online digital music store and you’d like to be able to make intelligent product recommendations to your customers based on what songs they’ve already got in their shopping cart before they check out. * You have a streaming music service whose DJs need inspiration for coming up with either channel based or custom curated playlists faster. * You market software for DJs, such as plugins to manage their library. While they’re playing live a plugin in their favourite software suggests some tracks to mix or play next. * You have a commercial music library of any size. Perhaps you are a major record label, perhaps independent, or maybe you’ve amalgamated music from multiple labels, independent artists, or publishers. You need to assist your clients obtain synchronization licenses quickly for appropriate pieces of music for their film, TV, documentary, commercials, video games, or some other context. There are countless other examples, but let’s talk about this last one. Nearly always your client approaches you with samples already in hand. “Hey, do you have anything like this?” This could be an MP3 or a YouTube video URL. Because Helios allows you to search the catalogue using music itself as the search key, you could use the customer’s samples directly to help them find what they’re looking for. Traditionally, in the absence of such technology, the way this has been done for decades may surprise many. It is both costly and involves many hours or even days of manual human labour which delays the business process. The business must manually search, usually using textual tags, and listen to a great deal of irrelevant music in the hopes of finding the one the client is actually willing to spend money on.

Advanced Accelerator Adapter Compliance: 25G I/O Test Harness and Test Suite Specification
The purpose of the OpenPOWER Advanced Accelerator Adapter Compliance: 25G I/O Test Harness and Test Suite specification is to provide the test suite requirements to demonstrate OpenPOWER Advanced Accelerator Adapter 25G I/O compliance for POWER9™ systems.
The input to this specification is the following specification:
There are two accelerator approaches for the 25Gbit/sec interface and the compliance for each approach is defined in this document. The first approach is a Mezzanine Adapter Card which is attached to the system planar via two connectors. The Mezzanine Adapter Card for OpenPOWER systems based on the POWER9 processor attaches to the 25Gbit/sec interface native to the POWER9 and plugs into the mezzanine card connectors.
The second approach is a Cabled Interface Extension to an adapter card. It uses a PCIe card as an example but the cabled extension does not require the adapter card be PCIe. POWER9 platforms support the optional cabling of the 25Gbit/sec Advanced Accelerator Interface to the advanced accelerator adapter in a riser card plugged into a PCIe slot in the same system. In addition, the adapter could be located in different drawer of the rack.
This document is a Standard Track, Work Group Specification work product owned by the Compliance Workgroup and handled in compliance with the requirements outlined in the OpenPOWER Foundation Work Group (WG) Process document.

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 |

64-Bit ELF V2 ABI Specification: Power Architecture
The ABI (application binary interface) specification provides the definitions for the machine interface and inter-object interfaces for the little-endian POWER architecture.
This specification defines the OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI which 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.

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. |
