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.
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
