IBM POWER
POWER is a RISC instruction set architecture designed by IBM. The name is a backronym for Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC. POWER is also the name of a series of microprocessors that implement the instruction set architecture. The POWER series microprocessors are used as the main CPU in many of IBM's servers, minicomputers, workstations, and supercomputers. The POWER3 and subsequent microprocessors in the POWER series all implement the full 64-bit PowerPC architecture. The POWER3 and above don't implement any of the old POWER instructions that were removed from the ISA when the PowerPC ISA came out or any of the POWER2 extensions such as lfq or stfq.
