Arm published the new chip interconnection technology, will increase the high performance computing (HPC), data center and cloud application data throughput.
ScienTIfic CompuTIng World report, about a month ago, arm and Fujitsu (Fujitsu) teamed up to develop the super Computer Post - K Computer, should be developed to take agent (Riken) super Computer K Computer.
Arm in architectural armv8 - A Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), to accelerate the HPC performance.
Arm to launch a new interconnection technology arm CoreLink a near - 600 mesh network interconnection and consistency CoreLink DMC - 620 dynamic memory controller, let the latest single chip arm architecture can have higher data throughput. Company said that the new technology can provide five times the throughput, and more than 1 TB of bandwidth per second.
Arm system and software enterprise group general manager Monika Biddulph, said the cloud infrastructure requirements need to service suppliers with better computation efficiency. New CoreLink IP system on the basis of armv8 - A framework, to provide flexibility, can integrate different operation, to achieve optimal operation.
The arm has also actively develop the operation technology in recent years. Since Fujitsu announced and the development of Post K Computer, arm has been trying to increase efficient operation efficiency. In Hot Chips conference, arm also published the SVE with Fujitsu.
There are two main risk of highly efficient operation.
First of all, to invest in new technology there is always the possibility of failure;
Second, the entire industry USES the related technology, maybe some science and technology is very suitable for efficient operation, but if there is no adoption, still will fail.
Super computer also need high frequency width memory system. Use the inside of the arm processor to replace the K Computer SPARC processors, has caused a lot of topics in high performance computing community. If the arm arm architecture provides special functions can be used, may have the opportunity to lead the trend.
