Summary
Dipankar Sarma is a seasoned software architect and systems engineer with 26 years of experience specializing in operating systems, virtualization and cloud, currently leading Linux development for IBM Power Systems and now architecting solutions at Agrani Labs. He has driven hardware-software co-design across three generations of IBM Power, delivering large-scale Linux platforms (1920 CPUs, 64TB memory), dynamic reconfiguration and kernel resource-control frameworks used in both enterprise and supercomputing environments. A former Linux kernel subsystem maintainer and long-time contributor, he combined deep kernel internals work (RCU, fine-grain locking, power-aware scheduling) with strategic community engagement to bring enterprise features like SAP HANA support, container and confidential computing to POWER. Colleagues know him for bridging chip architects and Linux developers to ship practical, high-performance capabilities—an often overlooked strength that accelerated adoption of POWER in mission-critical installations.
