Some more Power t-shirts
Recently I posted about two of my Power t-shirts. Many people responded. Some wanted to get one of the t-shirts from me, others asked me what else do I have. I cannot give you the t-shirts, but I can show you a few more :-) I must admit that only one of them has Power printed on it, but the other two are also Power-related.
The oldest t-shirt is from Genesi. They had various Power machines, and I worked on Linux support of these systems. The first one was the Pegasos, which was a quite capable workstation. It was faster with a lot lower power consumption than x86 systems of the time. The other one was more embedded category, the EFIKA. I used it for measurement automation.
The next t-shirt only mentions nVidia. However, for a couple of years Summit was the fastest supercomputer on Earth, utilizing 9216 POWER9 22-core CPUs and 27648 nVidia GPUs. Even six years later it is the 9th fastest supercomputer.
Finally a “real” Power t-shirt by the OpenPOWER Foundation: “OpenPOWER ready”. It is a program by the foundation, collecting both hardware and software ready to be used with OpenPOWER systems: OpenPOWER Ready Mark.
I proudly wear any of these t-shirts as they remind me about important events in POWER history. However, recently I try to wear them less, as I do not know how many more washes they can survive.
PS: no, I do not want to sell them either. Oh, well, probably for a price no sane person wants to pay ;-) Or, if you do not mind something recent, Power 10 t-shirts are available at https://logostore-globalid.us/product/428389
