IBM Watson runs SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
The fastest supercomputers in the world use Linux as an operating
system. IBM Watson is no different. IBM Watson is a cluster of
commercially available Power 750 servers that any client can purchase
today. The power behind Watson lies in IBM=E2=80=99s DeepQA software running
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 on 10 racks of IBM Power 750 servers.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is the fastest operating system on IBM
POWER7=C2=AE based on recent SPEC benchmarks. This makes it a natural choice
of operating system for IBM=E2=80=99s DeepQA software that powers Watson.
The POWER7 platform is known for its ability to meet high performance,
high capacity, and near linear scaling. Since 1993, SUSE engineers have
made significant contributions to the advancement and tuning of the
Linux kernel and key kernel-related performance technologies. SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server is the clear choice for high performance computing
systems, with features like:
Advanced memory management
New processor support
Unmatched performance on systems with multicore processors
Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL)
Advanced multi-pathing and I/O capabilities
Why does IBM Watson need so much power and speed?
IBM Watson has been developed to try to match the natural language
processing abilities of the human brain (which, as IBM researchers point
out, can fit inside a shoebox and is powered by a tuna sandwich). As a
test of these abilities, they are having Watson play Jeopardy! against
the two best players in the world=E2=80=93Grand Champions Brad Rutter and K=
en
Jennings=E2=80=93on February 14. According to IBM, they chose the popular g=
ame
show because:
The game of Jeopardy! makes great demands on its players=E2=80=94from the r=
ange
of topical knowledge covered to the nuances in language employed in the
clues. Can the analytical power of a computer system=E2=80=94normally accus=
tomed
to executing precise requests=E2=80=94 overcome these obstacles? Can the tr=
oves
of knowledge written in human terms become easily searchable by a
machine in order to deliver a single, precise answer? Can a quiz show
help advance science?
Watch IBM Watson play Jeopardy! and the future of Watson.
