A Linux Foundation Project

Working Groups

OpenPOWER Foundation working groups drive technical specifications, community collaboration, and ecosystem development across the POWER architecture.

TWG

Hardware Architecture TWG

Defines hardware architecture requirements and recommendations for OpenPOWER-compliant systems, covering processor, memory, and I/O subsystems.

TWG

Instruction Set Architecture TWG

Develops and maintains the POWER ISA specification, ensuring openness, compatibility, and forward evolution of the instruction set architecture.

TWG

System Software TWG

Coordinates open source system software efforts including Linux kernel, firmware, hypervisors, and runtime environments for POWER systems.

TWG

Accelerator TWG

Focuses on accelerator integration for POWER systems, including GPU, FPGA, and custom AI accelerator interfaces and standards.

TWG

Compliance TWG

Develops and maintains conformance test suites and certification programs to ensure interoperability across the OpenPOWER ecosystem.

SIG

AI SIG

Explores and promotes POWER-based AI and machine learning workloads, optimizations, and deployment patterns across the ecosystem.

SIG

LibreBMC SIG

Develops an open source Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) for POWER-based servers, enabling transparent and auditable firmware.

SIG

Memory SIG

Addresses memory technology integration, performance optimization, and interface standards for next-generation POWER-based systems.

SIG

HUB SIG

The OpenPOWER HUB connects developers, researchers, and organizations with resources, labs, and community support to grow the POWER ecosystem.

BoF

Academic BoF

A forum for universities and research institutions to collaborate on POWER-based research, education, and student developer programs.
