AMD to accelerate the ecosystem of ARM server With its ARM-Based CPU -

AMD has added a milestone to its list of seminal developments in server technology. The company displays a platform of global development for its first server CPU ARM-based 64-bit, manufactured using the 28-nanometer process technology, the first of a set of server supplier.

arm-processors-amd AMD also announced the imminent sampling processor ARM-based, named AMD Opteron A1100 series, and a platform of development, which includes an evaluation board and a complete software suite. Additionally, AMD announced that it would be contribute to the Open Compute proposed a new micro-server design using the AMD Opteron Series A, as part of the specification of the common slot architecture for motherboards dubbed "Hug Group."

64-bit software ecosystem

the AMD Opteron a-Series processor, "Seattle" code name will sample this quarter with a platform for developing software that will design the CPU server based on ARM-fast and easy. AMD is working with industry partners to enable a robust software ecosystem 64-bit designs for ARM-based compilers and simulators to hypervisors, operating systems and application software, to process loads working keys in ranking web environments and data storage centers.

development platform AMD Opteron A-Series will be supported by a wide range of tools and software, including a standard UEFI boot and Linux-based Fedora Project, a Red Hat sponsored distribution focused on the Linux community.

"the needs of the data center changes, a one-size-fits approach generally limits the effectiveness and results in more costly solutions," said Suresh Gopalakrishnan, vice president and director General AMD server business unit . "the new AMD Opteron Series ARM-based portfolio brings an established server processor vendor ecosystem ARM experience and technology and provides . supplement ideal for our x86 AMD Opteron server set processors "

The AMD Opteron series A1100 media processors:

  • 4 or 8 ARM Cortex ™ core -A57 processors
  • up to 4 MB of shared L2 and 8 MB of shared L3 cache
  • configurable dual DDR3 or DDR4 memory channels with ECC up to 1866 MT / s
  • up to 4 SODIMM, UDIMM or RDIMM
  • 8-lane PCI Express Gen 3 ® I / O
  • 8 ATA 3 serial ports
  • February 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • TrustZone ARM technology to enhance security
  • Crypto and compression co-processor data

the AMD Opteron Series SDK is packaged in a Micro-ATX form factor and includes:

  • AMD Opteron A1100 Series
  • 4 registered DIMM slots for up to 128GB of DDR3 DRAM
  • PCI Express® connectors configurable as a single x8 or dual x4 ports
  • 8 Serial-ATA connectors
  • Compatibility with standard power supplies
  • Ability to be used standalone or mounted in a standard rack mount chassis
  • standard UEFI boot environment
  • Linux environment based on Fedora, which provides developers a set of tools and applications

* chain GNU Linux standard tools, including cross-development version of
* platform device drivers
* Apache web server, the engine MySQL database and PHP scripting language data to develop applications for robust web services
* Java 7 and Java 8 versions to provide developers working in an ARM 64-bit environment
