IBM POWER9 opens up a new era of acceleration enablement: OpenCAPI.

Open Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (OpenCAPI) is a new industry-standard device interface that enables the development of host-agnostic devices that can coherently connect to any host platform that supports the OpenCAPI standard. This in turn allows such devices to coherently cache host memory to facilitate accelerator execution, perform direct memory access and atomics to host memory, ...
