If the ecosystem for Arm processors is going to grow in the HPC arena, as many think it can, then someone has to make the initial investments in prototype hardware and help cultivate the software stack that will run on current and future Arm platforms. …
Broadcom may not have wanted to be in the Arm server chip business any more, but its machinations since it was acquired by Avago Technology two years ago have certainly sent ripples through that nascent market. …
In the long run, networking chip giant and one-time server chip wannabe Broadcom might regret selling off its “Vulcan” 64-bit Arm chip business to Cavium, soon to be part of Marvell. …
There has been a lot of research and development devoted to bringing the Arm architecture to servers and storage in the datacenter, and a lot of that has focused on making beefier and usually custom Arm cores that look more like an X86 core than they do the kind of compute element we find in our smartphones and tablets. …
Many of us are impatient for Arm processors to take off in the datacenter in general and in HPC in particular. …
Two important changes to the datacenter are happening in the same year—one on the hardware side, another in software. …
It has been two years since chip maker Cavium rolled out its ThunderX Arm server processor roadmap and gave us the first glimpse of its second-generation ThunderX2 processors. …
The gatekeeper to Arm in the datacenter has finally swung that gate wide open. …
One of the arguments Intel officials and others have made against Arm’s push to get its silicon designs into the datacenter has been the burden it would mean for enterprises and organizations in the HPC field that would have to modify application codes to get their software to run on the Arm architecture. …
