- 6ren 15y agowhich means ARM do too, especially Tegra 2 (dual core, 1GHz) it's possible to recompile server apps for a new architecture - and theoretically effortless, if running on a VM (e.g. Java, C#) that has been ported. ARM chips use much less power per processing throughput, and since power consumption and heating are serious issue in huge server farms, this seems a clear opportunity. eg. just googled to find: Calxeda is building a 480 core ARM server, and claiming x10 cost savings and x10 performance gains. But sounds like vapourware (and is; doesn't exist yet). http://www.calxeda.com/ http://www.calxeda.com/
- eaxitect 15y agoI've read many articles about ARM movement onto Non-mobile platforms (especially for server virtualization). Indeed, power consumption is one of the biggest problem of today's datacenters. Hence, if we can stack to scale-out cheap and low power servers like legos, that'd be great...
