AppliedMicro and Codethink Announce Partnership to Accelerate Adoption of ARMv8-A Architecture
March 30 2015 - 8:00AM
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC) and Codethink
today announced a joint collaboration to accelerate and foster the
adoption of ARMv8-A architecture.
As a first result of this collaboration, Codethink is now
offering a complete big-endian Linux stack for the 64-bit ARMv8-A
architecture, with support for multiple languages and runtime
environments, including C, C++, Fortran, Java and Python.
The platform is designed to support a variety of traditional
enterprise applications, with full support for big-endian memory
access without the need for specialized compilers, offering a wider
range of sourcing options for this class of workload. Based on
Linux 4.0, the full suite of GNU tools is available, along with
tooling to customize delivery of target appliances for the data
center, offering the first opportunity to deploy big-endian
enterprise workloads on server-class ARM hardware.
"Commercial availability AppliedMicro's X-Gene® Server on a
Chip® solution is a game changer, offering cloud and enterprise
customers a viable alternative to the status quo," said Paul
Sherwood, CEO of Codethink. "Our ability to enhance and customize
Linux stacks allows for seamless integration into product data
center environments."
"Codethink's platforms and X-Gene together represent a powerful
set of solutions for data center operators seeking to reduce power
consumption while maintaining throughput and latency metrics," said
Paramesh Gopi, president and CEO of AppliedMicro. "Codethink's
strong track record in the embedded market will also be attractive
to end users of our HeliX™ line of embedded processor SoCs."
Codethink's Linux enhancements and open source contributions are
already helping to facilitate adoption of X-Gene in production
environments. For more information, please visit
