The extreme economical context is calling for societal changes. The urgency to find medical and welfare solutions is accelerating research, unleashing new funds, open-source projects are flourishing and companies of all sizes are rushing to put remote work strategies into place and re-organize their workforce with new priori- ties. These changes will be long lasting, and hopefully for the better. Our April edition looks at some of the latest edge hardware and AI firmware solu- tions, some of which may find direct use in deciphering the vast amounts of data put to contribution by epidemiologists to predict the progression of the virus and possibly decide on the best confinement strategies.

  • Android in the Cloud on Arm Native Servers
    Android in the Cloud on Arm Native Servers Introduction All the chatter about Arm servers and the role of Android in the cloud in recent years generates questions about what these things could mean for a largely mobile based platform like Arm/Android. This whitepaper examines the practical and commercial use cases that are driving a new paradigm linking the primary mobile and embedded computing platform in the world today with its new cousin in cloud infrastructure: Arm servers + virtualization + native Android execution. While detailing the use cases driving a mobile platform migration to cloud infrastructure, this whitepaper also showcases the solution that Ampere Computing, Canonical, and NETINT Technologies have partnered to produce addressing this migration. The solution is a stellar example of how a service provider or developer can take advantage of Arm native computing in a cloud context to bring together an ecosystem of over 3M primarily mobile apps integrated with benefits from a cloud enabled infrastructure. A case study around cloud gaming fills in the practical real-world considerations of this hot new paradigm. Cloud gaming really showcases the advantages of all the solution components the partners have integrated to make a scalable, efficient cloud resource available to a new class of cloud-native applications catering to the billions of users with Arm based devices worldwide. The whitepaper concludes with thoughts and predictions about the evolution of this new paradigm as hardware and software components mature in the coming years. A New Paradigm The Arm architecture has dominated the mobile processor market with its unrivaled ability to maximize power-efficiency.

  • NVIDIA and Tech Leaders Team to Build GPU-Accelerated Arm Servers for New Era of Diverse HPC Architectures
    NVIDIA and Tech Leaders Team to Build GPU-Accelerated Arm Servers for New Era of Diverse HPC Architectures Arm, Ampere, Cray, Fujitsu, HPE, Marvell to Build NVIDIA GPU-Accelerated Servers for Hyperscale-Cloud to Edge, Simulation to AI, High-Performance Storage to Exascale Supercomputing SC19 -- NVIDIA today introduced a reference design platform that enables companies to quickly build GPU-accelerated Arm®-based servers, driving a new era of high performance computing for a growing range of applications in science and industry. Announced by NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang at the SC19 supercomputing conference, the reference design platform -- consisting of hardware and software building blocks -- responds to growing demand in the HPC community to harness a broader range of CPU architectures. It allows supercomputing centers, hyperscale-cloud operators and enterprises to combine the advantage of NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform with the latest Arm-based server platforms. To build the reference platform, NVIDIA is teaming with Arm and its ecosystem partners -- including Ampere, Fujitsu and Marvell -- to ensure NVIDIA GPUs can work seamlessly with Arm-based processors. The reference platform also benefits from strong collaboration with Cray, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, and HPE, two early providers of Arm-based servers. Additionally, a wide range of HPC software companies have used NVIDIA CUDA-X™ libraries to build GPU-enabled management and monitoring tools that run on Arm-based servers. “There is a renaissance in high performance computing,'' Huang said. “Breakthroughs in machine learning and AI are redefining scientific methods and enabling exciting opportunities for new architectures. Bringing NVIDIA GPUs to Arm opens the floodgates for innovators to create systems for growing new applications from hyperscale-cloud to exascale supercomputing and beyond.'' Rene Haas, president of the IP Products Group at Arm, said: “Arm is working with ecosystem partners to deliver unprecedented performance and efficiency for exascale-class Arm-based SoCs.
