Abstract

ARM is the up and coming computing technology, an open platform that competing CPU architectures, with many manufacturers building systems from the size of a stamp to datacenter servers with 256cores stuffed in only 2RUs. There is a wide variety of ARM systems and operating systems that can run on these platforms. But despite all of this diversity, you still have binary compatibility across all the systems. The same Operating system that runs on a small 4-core Raspberry PI can also run on an ARM system in the cloud powered by a high-density 128-core Ampere processor. In this session, learn not only what you can run on ARM, but also the scale of the applications and its data storage. You will also see how easy it is to move to ARM.
