Since its founding in 2013, OpenPOWER Foundation membership has grown to more than 300+ members, including over 100 academic members; the latter formed the Academic Bird of a Feather (BoF) group. This group has run several workshops worldwide enabling students, professors and developers in chip development to AI, hybrid cloud, and big data solutions. The ADG group hosted its 8th workshop at the SC22 conference in Dallas on Nov 12th 2022.

OpenPOWER is a member driven ecosystem, where one can consume, contribute, and collaborate to develop a complete secure open platform. As summarized by Dr Sameer Shende, “Member companies are enabled to customize POWER processors and system platforms for optimization and innovation for their business needs. These innovations include development of custom systems and processor for special super computers, or advanced hardware technology exploitation.”
