Video: Datacenter Computers – Modern Challenges in CPU Design
by Rich Brueckner from High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC on (#6GNR)
"Computers used as datacenter servers have usage patterns that differ substantially from those of desktop or laptop computers. We discuss four key differences in usage and their first-order implications for designing computers that are particularly well-suited as servers: data movement, thousands of transactions per second, program isolation, and measurement underpinnings. Maintaining high-bandwidth data movement requires coordinated design decisions throughout the memory system, instruction-issue system, and even instruction set."
