Original sentence: It is part of the eCLipz project, said to have a goal of converging IBM's server hardware where practical (hence "ipz" in the acronym: iSeries, pSeries, and zSeries).More than 50 new floating point instructions handle the decimal math and conversions between binary and decimal.POWER6 was described at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference in February 2006, and additional details were added at Microprocessor Forum in October 2006 and ISSCC in February 2007.This is a feature being added to the processors powering IBM's System z
Edited sentence: 50 new floating point instructions handle the decimal math and conversions between binary and decimal.Hence "ipz" in the acronym: iSeries, pSeries, and zSeries.It is also known as the eCLipz project.One of the major goals is to converge IBM's non-x86 server lines onto a common hardware platform.POWER6 was announced at IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference in February 2006, and additional details were added at Microprocessor Forum in October 2006 and ISSCC in February 2007.This is a feature currently present in the processors powering IBM's System z and is a necessity in POWER6 if the eClipz-mission is to succeed
