Power Architecture is a computing architecture developed by IBM, Freescale, and NXP that focuses on high performance and efficiency. It is widely used in various applications, including servers, embedded systems, and automotive technologies. The architecture supports both 32-bit and 64-bit processing, allowing for flexibility in software development. One of the key features of Power Architecture is its ability to handle parallel processing, which improves performance for multi-threaded applications. It also supports advanced features like SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) and virtualization, making it suitable for modern computing demands.
