Linux runs on more hardware architectures than any other operating system, and many other open source projects are following a similar path so that users can choose the best platform for their workloads. But how close are we today to achieving the dream of hardware portability for applications?

This breakout will consider why hardware portability is important, review the key considerations in making applications portable, and discuss specific examples across a range of hardware platforms including ARM, x86, POWER and LinuxONE
