SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced that it has joined
the Green Computing Consortium (GCC) to help build an open and
innovative ecosystem in China for
green computing in cloud data center infrastructure. As part
of this partnership, Marvell will contribute to key application
development for big data, enterprise and cloud computing on
platforms based on the Arm® architecture.
"With the most widely supported Arm-based server processor,
ThunderX2®, Marvell is uniquely positioned to contribute
to the GCC's mission of accelerating the adoption of the Arm server
ecosystem worldwide," said Gopal
Hegde, vice president and general manager, Server Processor
Business Unit at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. "We are honored
to collaborate with GCC members to advance a unified open standards
framework and ecosystem based on the high-efficiency, low power
architecture that Arm platforms provide."
Marvell's ThunderX2, based on the Armv8-A architecture, provides
a compelling alternative to the x86 computing market, offering
higher performance, lower power, and reduced total cost of
ownership versus currently deployed architectures. The
world's fastest Arm supercomputer, Astra, located at Sandia
National Laboratories, is powered by 145,152 Marvell® ThunderX2
cores.
"We warmly welcome Marvell as a member of the GCC to help us
accelerate the growth of a green computing ecosystem fueled by Arm
computing technology," said Hong
Mei, general director of the Green Computing
Consortium. "Marvell is an important Arm-based chip provider
to the global computing industry and its participation will further
promote the healthy development of best practices in lowering
energy consumption and the environmental impact of data center
infrastructure."
The GCC was jointly initiated and established in April 2016 under the guidance of China's Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology by 17 founding companies and institutions including
Alibaba, Arm, Baidu, China Electronic Standardization Institute,
Dell, Lenovo, Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Currently with 55 members, the GCC includes technology providers,
producers, system integrators, and enterprise users. More
