The central processing unit is  mostly designed to enable software developers to design server-class  programs for ARM architecture, but those owners of data centers who  would like to cut their power consumption will also be able to deploy  them. <img src="http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/news/2011-10/calxeda_energy_core_hand.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Calxeda EnergyCore system-on-chip incorporates four ARM Cortex-A9  cores as well as  a supercomputing-class 80-Gigabit fabric switch and an  integrated management engine with power optimization software, all on a  single piece of silicon. The EnergyCore SoC also includes a full  complement of server I/O features and a large 4MB ECC L2 cache, enabling  system vendors, Calxeda’s customers, to offer a complete server node  that consumes only 5W, including 4GB of ECC memory and a large capacity  SSD.<img src="http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/news/2011-10/calxeda_energy_core_diagrame.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />“All the stars are in alignment:  Web 2.0 data-driven businesses,  cloud computing, open source portable software, power consumption at  crisis levels and the emergence of server-class performance of ARM  processors. We believe a new era of energy-efficient servers is now  dawning for scale-out workloads, and today we are introducing the  foundational architecture that will enable this breakthrough.  While we  are proud to launch our Calxeda EnergyCore processors, we are even more  thrilled with the many partners who are joining us on this journey,”  said Barry Evans, CEO and co-founder of Calxeda. The EnergyCore ARM-based SoC launched today will power a completely  new breed of servers.  Thanks to its mobile phone heritage and  patent-pending innovations from Calxeda, the new processor consumes less  than one tenth the power of today’s most energy efficient server  processors and is ideal for workloads such as web serving, “Big Data”  applications, scalable analytics such as Apache Hadoop, media streaming  and mid-tier infrastructure such as caching and in-memory scalable  databases, according to Calxeda.<img src="http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/news/2011-10/calxeda_energy_core_reference_design.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />HP has designed a system containing 288 Calxeda servers in a single  7” (4U) chassis. The single rack of HP’s Calxeda servers delivers the  throughput of some 700 traditional servers and dramatically simplifies  the infrastructure needed to hook them all together and manage the  cluster. At present, the machines are aimed at developers, but HP can  potentially sell them as well to interested parties.<img src="http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/news/2011-10/calxeda_energy_core_savings.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />“Companies in our industry are constrained by space and power, yet  our appetite for analysis is insatiable. We need a 10X breakthrough and  this could be it.  We are evaluating the Calxeda technology in  hyperscale throughput computing for data and simulation intensive  applications.  The Calxeda Linux platform enables rapid porting of our  software, enabling us to quickly leverage the energy-efficient ARM cores  and Calxeda's scalable communications fabric to scale our applications  to new heights,” said Niall Dalton, director of high frequency trading  at Cantor Fitzgerald.<img src="http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/news/2011-10/calxeda_energy_core_savings1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Calxeda chips are available now for evaluation. Commercial availability expected in the middle of 2012.</blockquote>
