In June this year, chip supplier Cavium released its ThunderX system-on-chip (SoC) product for the first time. Recently, Cavium announced that the ThunderX chip is currently available for sale, including the industry's first 48-core ARMv8 processor.
The four ThunderX products include ThunderX_CP for cloud computing workloads, ThunderX_ST for cloud computing storage applications, ThunderX_NT for web applications, and ThunderX_SC for computing security.
Rishi Chugh, director of product marketing at Cavium's Data Center Processor Group, said: "ThunderX's four products all use 48-core SKUs, and all two-socket configurations for 96-core servers are forced to equip each slot SKU with one 48 core components."
In a two-socket deployment, the ThunderX platform can support up to 1TB of DDR4 server memory running at 2400MHz. The two-socket server configuration also benefits from the full cache coherency of a two-socket system with Cavium's Consistent Processor Interconnect (CCPI) technology.
From an operating system perspective, Cavium's MontaVista software division optimized its Linux distribution for the new ThunderX system-on-a-chip. Chugh also pointed out: "Cavium's other distribution partners, including Canonical and Red Hat, have been working on the development of the Linux operating system on ThunderX."
In addition to system-on-a-chip, Cavium also announced the use of ThunderX to enhance the new reference platform for 1U and 2U servers. The ThunderX 2K is a two-socket reference platform that can hold up to four ThunderX system-on-chips. Each ThunderX 2K supports 8-speed DDR4 memory and up to 6X2.5-inch solid state drives or 3X 3.5-inch rotating hard drives. From a network perspective, the ThunderX 2K supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ and 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports.
The 1U Thunder 1K Server Reference Architecture is a single-slot configuration dedicated to ThunderX system-on-a-chip.
Gopal Hegde, vice president/general manager of Cavium's Data Center Processor Group, said in a statement: "ThunderX is the flagship chip in our ARMv8 multi-core processor family, which is the most numerous and most comprehensive I in the market. /O Groups and Accelerators, ThunderX is a disruptive technology that enables our customers to provide end users with a highly integrated, high performance, state-of-the-art platform."
Summary of the small series: The trend of ARM can be described as "the waves of the Yangtze River push forward waves, one wave is stronger than one wave, and the front waves are shot on the beach", although the tone is a bit bleak, but it is true.
A brief memory of the history of the ARM army: When AMD announced the introduction of the ARM processor in 2012, ARM became the hottest term, and many manufacturers including Calxeda, Marvell, Applied Micro, Cavium and so on wanted to enter the server market. Just before the mobile phone chip champion Qualcomm also officially announced that it would enter the server chip market, pointing to the 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture chip, everything seems to be thriving, but at the end of 2013, ARM giant Calxeda crashed down for this market The basin of cold water, while the emergence of Intel Avoton has become the most direct opponent of the ARM processor.
"The road to ARM is full of thorns. The only way for the ARM army to think is to quickly cross over those thorns. It may be sunshine after crossing."
