ARM servers are already recognized as a stable platform
for the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) stack, used
for serving Web applications.
Linaro will provide access to the software through its
partners in early 2016, the organization said. Versions of
the reference platform will be offered for storage and
networking appliances in the future.
ARM licenses processor designs to third parties like Apple,
Samsung, Nvidia and others. A handful of servers are
shipping today with ARM server chips from companies like
AMD, AppliedMicro and Cavium. Qualcomm has
announced an ARM server chip.
All the major ARM server chip makers are members of
Linaro. AMD is the only company with a major software
development program underway, working with Oracle on
the OpenJDK program for native Java support on ARM
processors. It is also driving the development of HSA
(Heterogeneous System Architecture) standards -- which
could replace OpenCL -- so software can be broken up to
run among different processing units in computing devices.
The server market today is ruled by Intel, but AMD has said
ARM could comprise 20 percent of the market by 2020.
