  • Power Architecture® ISA 2.06 Stride N Prefetch Engines to Boost Application's Performance
    Power Architecture® ISA 2.06 Stride N prefetch Engines to boost Application's performance History of IBM POWER architecture: POWER stands for Performance Optimization with Enhanced RISC. Power architecture is synonymous with performance. Introduced by IBM in 1991, POWER1 was a superscalar design that implemented register renaming andout-of-order execution. In Power2, additional FP unit and caches were added to boost performance. In 1996 IBM released successor of the POWER2 called P2SC (POWER2 Super chip), which is a single chip implementation of POWER2. P2SC is used to power the 30-node IBM Deep Blue supercomputer that beat world Chess Champion Garry Kasparov at chess in 1997. Power3, first 64 bit SMP, featured a data prefetch engine, non-blocking interleaved data cache, dual floating point execution units, and many other goodies. Power3 also unified the PowerPC and POWER Instruction set and was used in IBM's RS/6000 servers. The POWER3-II reimplemented POWER3 using copper interconnects, delivering double the performance at about the same price. Power4 was the first Gigahertz dual core processor launched in 2001 which was awarded the MicroProcessor Technology Award in recognition of its innovations and technology exploitation. Power5 came in with symmetric multi threading (SMT) feature to further increase application's performance. In 2004, IBM with 15 other companies founded Power.org. Power.org released the Power ISA v2.03 in September 2006, Power ISA v.2.04 in June 2007 and Power ISA v.2.05 with many advanced features such as VMX, virtualization, variable length encoding, hyper visor functionality, logical partitioning, virtual page handling, Decimal Floating point and so on which further boosted the architecture leadership in the market place and POWER5+, Cell, POWER6, PA6T, Titan are various compliant cores.
