Virtualization
　"the Power6 has been implemented to support up to 1,024 virtual machines per chip, which means
　 512 per Power6 core."
　"the Power6 chip will have a slightly different memory virtualization architecture from the Power5
　 and Power5+ chips, allowing memory to be reconfigured and moved as partitions move. This feature
　 is called memory packing."
Power management: PowerExecutive extensions
　"It will be able to watch system utilization and if utilization drops, it will be able to deactivate components
　 to conserve power."
　"the system administrators will be able to set policies that will enable workloads to be consolidated onto
　 one box rather than onto two boxes."
　"able to kick down fan speeds if workloads are not stressing the servers"
　"also tell administrators that if the temperatures in the system are below certain levels, they can boost
　 the performance of workloads and get jobs to finish earlier."
