ARM Chips Designed For 480-Core Servers

Posted by samzenpus on from the new-tools dept.

angry tapir writes "Calxeda revealed initial details about its first ARM-based server chip, designed to let companies build low-power servers with up to 480 cores. The Calxeda chip is built on a quad-core ARM processor, and low-power servers could have 120 ARM processing nodes in a 2U box. The chips will be based on ARM's Cortex-A9 processor architecture."

    It'll likely cost an ARM and a leg.

    Right now my system doesn't even have 480 live processes on it, let alone ones contending for execution time.

    You're obviously not running Gentoo.
