Usage

I am using a Blackbird Desktop System with an IBM Power9 v2 (= stepping DD2.3) 8-core CPU as testing infrastructure for open source projects (since Jan, 2020).

Instable hardware watchpoints in stepping DD2.2 (erratum #1: DAWR [Data Access Watchpoint Register] feature is disabled on DD2.2) was the main reason for me to wait for DD2.3 to have reliable low-level debugging available.

Total

Power Consumption:

  • 2.1 W plugged in
  • 68 W Idle
  • 186 W with 100 % CPU load (testet with stress --cpu 32 -t 180s)

Temperatures:

  • Idle: 45 Degree Celsius
  • 100 % CPU load: 72 Degree Celsius

Noise Level:

  • Surprisingly quiet during idle and normal use (low CPU usage)
  • Fans spinning fast but not too loud during 100 % CPU load (slow RPM increase and decrease, no annoying sudden changes)
