>> I mean server and backend systems, HPC systems
In HPC x86-64 (in fact, Intel x86-64) is the only thriving architecture: here is the breakdown from the last Top500:
- 445 systems are Intel x86-64
- 21 systems are AMD x86-64
- 19 systems are IBM Blue Gene/Q. IBM discontinued the Blue Gene line, so these systems would be replaced with something else as they age.
- 7 systems are IBM Power 7. There are no IBM Power 8 systems on the list.
- 7 systems are SPARC-based. AFAIK all of them are Fujitsu systems installed in Japan, and they are not accessible to researchers outside of Japan.
- 1 system is based on Chinese ShenWei architecture.
- There are no ARM (neither ARMv7 nor ARM64) systems on the list.
- sufiyan 11y agoYeah. But the author seems to have gotten some good money from amd you write about them rather than go out and say that, amd is also dying much like the others. I highly doubt if arm will ever become a serious contender in the desktop computing market, let alone the hpc market which is even more difficult with what Intel can guarantee.
