IBM has detailed its next-generation Telum chip which is part of the Z processor lineup at HotChips 33. The Telum chip features a brand new core architecture design that's geared for AI acceleration.

According to IBM, the newly optimized Z core along with its brand new cache and multi-chip fabric hierarchy enables over 40% per socket performance growth. The Telum chip is comprised of a total of 8 cores that feature their dedicated L2 cache. The chip features SMT2 so[sic] which gives 16 threads on the chip while a maximum configuration of 32 core and 64 threads is possible with a 4-drawer system.

    I really wish I had 100 more years to see where the convergence of all this tech leads us.
    Very, very soon the need for menial labor is gonna cease to exist. What do we do then?

    Are the Z processors the modern descendants of the IBM 360?

        Nice to know that architecture I encountered in the mid-60's is still around somewhat compatibly over 50 years later.

          Yeah, I've been studying assembler using books from the early 70s. Channel I/O is done a little differently these days, but the rest seems more or less the same (ignoring all the extra stuff that has been added, obviously)

          I'm pretty sure that binaries from the S/360 still run natively on z/OS.

            Not necessarily. Between the IBM 360 and IBM370 they expanded address width from 24 to 32 bits. Code that used the extra eight bits ended up in trouble.
