What to Look For in AMCs, for Computing ?
•
Performance Density is Crucial
Demand for higher performance, in limited form-factor
•
And, Thermal fulfillment is Critical
•
Multi-Core Processor is the Key
–
Speed of operation vis-à-vis thermal balance.
–
Multi-core processors
–
Multi-processing capable OS
•
•
•
•
•
–
Single vs Multiple processors
Multiple processors vs Multi-core
The multi-core processor performance is always predicated upon availability of OS
support and intelligent compilers.
Asymmetric Multi-processing (AMP)
Symmetric Multi-processing (SMP)
Multi-core programming tools
•
Tool chain support (parallel compiler, linker, optimizer, etc)

What to Look For in AMCs, for Telecom &Wireless
Infrastructure
•
Both the above are Important
– Performance Density
– Thermal fulfillment
•
Yet, Connectivity is Foremost
– Demand for Fast and Ubiquitous Access
•
Scalable Connectivity is the Key
– Multi-Gigabit Ethernet
– PCI-Express
– Others : Limited in Scalability
