SAN JOSE, Calif. – Russian engineers are developing software to run x86 programs on ARM-based servers. If successful, the software could help lower one of the biggest barriers ARM SoC makers face getting their chips adopted as alternatives to Intel x86 processors that dominate today’s server market.
Elbrus Technologies has developed emulation software that currently delivers 40 percent of native ARM performance. The company believes it could reach 80 percent native ARM performance or greater by the end of 2014. Analysts and ARM execs described the code as a significant, but limited option.
