News continuously 2014 arm server developed into the fast lane

"Tenkine Server Channel Review" These days about arm news constantly, which also indicates that http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33721.html ">2014 arm in the server market will continue to develop rapidly, Ecological Circle Construction is becoming more and more perfect. We summarize the recent news about arm:

The ARM server architecture specification is published and the participating vendors include Linux developers Redhat, SuSE and canonical, Server manufacturers HP and Dell, chip manufacturers AMD, APPLIEDMICRO, Cavium and Texas Instruments, and virtualization provider Citrix. This standard not only provides system manufacturers with a framework for system development, but also promotes the development of software related to the server.

Dell has developed a concept verification machine based on the ARM architecture micro-server, which is expected to further expand the 64-bit ARM server processor-centric ecosystem. The concept of the certification machine using the applied Micro Company's 64-bit x-gene arm chip.

AMD shows the first of its 64-bit ARM server CPU design of the comprehensive development platform, a 64-bit ARM server chip named AMD Hao Long A1100 series. AMD has also announced that it will contribute to the Open Source Computing project (open Compute Project) with its new micro-server design, which will be based on the AMD Hao long a series processor. AMD Hao long a series development platform will be supported by a series of tools and software, including standard UEFI start-up and Linux environment support based on Fedora Project.

Through the above three news, we see arm in the server market ecosystem is growing, with the advent of ARM server chip, arm in the application of software is increasingly mature. Not only did Dell focus on the ARM micro-server project, Hewlett-Packard also focused on the micro-server market. HP is developing a series of ultra-low-power server products called Moonshot that will run on a variety of chips, from Intel's Low-power x86 atom system-level chips to AMD's x86 chips, and even to the arm processors of different vendors.

We have reason to believe that as AMD officially released 64-bit ARM server chip, the relevant server products will also be springing up. Intel will not sit back and watch arm's aggressiveness in the server market. Intel has always been wary of the challenges from arm companies. The company has developed an atom based platform for servers and last year released the C2000 Avoton series with 22 nm technology. Intel says micro-architecture based on new Silvermont has reached or surpassed arm system-level chips in terms of efficiency and performance. In addition, the company will later this year launch the next Generation Atom Server SOC system-level chip, the use of 14 nm technology Denverton.

ARM stirs up the micro-server chip market, and traditional chip giants Intel and AMD have Jianzaixianshang. In the current situation of hardware, the micro-server market will blossom in 2014. ARM will serve as the vanguard of the micro-server market, and 2014 micro-servers are worth looking forward to.
