OCP European Summit 14

As high performance computing marches towards exascale, energy efficiency has become increasingly an important factor with target  requirements of systems 50 times more power efficient than today's supercomputers.  This focus on energy efficiency has brought an increased interest in ARM technology as a component of next generation HPC.   ARM focuses on designing & licensing fundamental IP building blocks - which is all about integration. Integration fosters an ecosystem of standard pieces, effectively acting as COTS-on-Silicon (my invented term). COTS-on-Silicon encourages multi-suppliers to give the ecosystem the ability to deliver, through collaboration, continuous innovative solutions for Big Data & HPC type problems.  This talk will give an overview of the breadth of ARM technology and discuss how our partners couple our designs with their own products to provide compelling solutions.  It will also cover some of ARM’s ongoing research and development activities within the high performance computing market segment.
