Why, for embarrassingly parallel workloads (like the ones they mention) it's a totally reasonable assumption. And for something not so parallel the gazillion of ARM nodes is all but useless.
- easp 15y agoThe article mentions Hadoop, big data crunching, web serving and web caching. They may or may not be embarrassingly parallel, but that doesn't mean any of them are typically compute bound. Look, today's multichip, multicore servers tend to be unbalanced for a lot of workloads. Their massive compute performance often burns power waiting for main memory, disk or network.
