ARM In Servers: How Big Could This Be?

This is the week of the annual SuperComputing Show (SC11) in Seattle. About 15,000 people are expected to attend the week-long event. The news that was quite broadly picked up by the electronics press was NVIDIA’s announcement that the Barcelona Supercomputing Center is developing a hybrid Supercomputer that blends Tegra3 (quad Cortex-A9) devices with CUDA GPGPUs. I am equally excited about the development platform mentioned in the same release, and the implications for software ecosystem enablement. The availability of a software development kit (developed by SECO) featuring a board that incorporates a Tegra3 along with a discrete NVIDIA GPU and the NVIDIA CUDA parallel programming tool kit is going to kick start software development for ARM processor based platforms in the high performance computing (HPC) domain.
