Qualcomm server chips available now to ARM developers through cloud service
Qualcomm's elusive server chips have been available only to top-tier cloud players, but now any developer will be able to work with them using a new cloud service.
Linaro, a consortium of companies developing hardware and software for ARM-based devices, has launched a cloud service aimed at ARM developers. Developers looking to write and test server applications will have remote access to bare-metal ARM servers -- including systems with Qualcomm's upcoming 24-core server chip -- through the service.
The cloud service is a one-stop shop for developers to test a wide range of ARM 64-bit server hardware platforms. The service will also feature ARM-based server chips from AMD, Cavium and Huawei. One chip maker's name that's missing is AppliedMicro, which was among the first to ship an ARM server chip.
