As we pointed out in the analysis opening up this series on the future prospects for ARM-based servers, it has been quite a challenge getting all of the hardware, software, and money lined up to storm the datacenter. …
Nearly a year ago at an analyst day event in New York, Qualcomm, the largest maker of ARM chips aimed at smartphones, told the world that it had aspirations for the big machines that feed those smartphones their data and applications and jumped into the 64-bit ARM server fray. …
A little-known upstart Chinese chip maker called Phytium Technology was set to use the Hot Chips 27 conference in Silicon Valley as a coming out party of sorts for its 64-bit ARM server processors, and the company’s director of research, Charles Zhang, was not permitted to come to the event because of visa issues. …
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which has done a significant amount of research and development on alternative architectures for supercomputers over the years, has just fired up a prototype system based on the kinds of ARM chips that are typically found in smartphones and other client devices. …
CERN is set to go dark for a brief period in the 2018 timeframe to allow for a new sweep of technology upgrades, including the build-out of new datacenters, some of which might leverage non-standard architectures, including ARM processors. …
