Popular Presentation Located, Updated

Edit: Link no longer works.

I often get questions from readers. The most common question I’ve received recently is, “Where did the slides go?”

In April 2013 I noted that Fredrik Lundholm had been compiling the Power Implementation Quality Standard for commercial workloads, and posted a link to what was then the latest version of his slide presentation (1.9). I knew this was valuable information, but I had no idea how widely it was being read until this particular set of slides disappeared from the Internet. I’ve received at least an email or two every week from people wondering what happened.

What happened was that Fredrik regularly updates this information, and the links tend to change when he does. The good news is his latest version, 1.12, is available here. On Page 3 he lists the changes he’s made in each version of the presentation. I’ll just highlight the updates that have come since version 1.9:

            Changes for 1.12

            – PowerHA and PowerHA levels, AIX levels, VIO levels

            – Virtual Ethernet buffer update

            Changes for 1.11

            – Power saving animation

            – Network configuration update admin VLAN/simplification

            – Removal of obsolete network design

            Changes for 1.10

            – Favor performance without Active Energy Manager

            – AIX/GPFS code level updates

            – AIX Memory Pin

For my part I posted a comment to my post from last year, noting this new version. Please let me — and Fredrik — know if you find this information useful.
