Cavium Rolls Out ThunderX Servers with GIGABYTE Technology

Today GIGABYTE Technology and Cavium announced a new set of servers built on the industry-leading ThunderX family of workload-optimized ARM server SoCs. According to Cavium, the collaboration brings the world’s most powerful 64-bit ARM-based servers to market to address increasingly demanding application and workload requirements.

NAG Optimizes C and C++ Algorithms for ARM-based Cavium ThunderX Processors

The Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) has engineered NAG C Library algorithms to execute efficiently on Cavium ThunderX ARMv8-A based Workload Optimized Processors. Preliminary results, announced at ISC 2016, show excellent scaling across 96 cores of ThunderX in a dual socket configuration.

Cavium Rolls Out ThunderX2 ARM Processor

Today Cavium announced ThunderX2, its second generation of Workload-Optimized ARM server SoCs. ThunderX2 targets high performance volume servers deployed by Public/Private Cloud and Telco data centers and high performance computing applications. “Optimized for key Data Center workloads, ThunderX2 will deliver comparable performance at a better total cost of ownership compared to the next generation of traditional server processors.”
