While I was not with IBM in 1988 when the AS/400 was launched, the next summer I was assembling low-end AS/400s. The summer of 1992 I interned in the System Performance organization and I've been working on IBM i performance ever since. Happy 35th Anniversary IBM i!

I'm looking forward to updating the IBM i Large User Group (LUG) on the benefits of IBM i 7.5 and Power10 later today. Learn more about the LUG here: https://t.co/cL6Cae7EMf

IBM i 7.4, announced today, allows IBM i partitions on POWER9 to run full SMT8 up to 192 cores. This is up from 96 cores at SMT8 and 192 running SMT4.

Exceeding 48 cores in a single partition still requires going through a no-charge assessment with Lab Services. #ibmi

I was honored to represent IBM Rochester on the local KTTC news broadcast yesterday, talking about IBM's 26th consecutive year of being the US patent leader. The segment can be seen here: https://t.co/aS4kidaXnE
