Codethink, known as a software developer in the field of mobile and embedded applications, the Baserock Slab server is announced. The server is equipped with eight Marvell Armada XP chips, each with four ARM cores.
The Baserock Slab server is provided in a medium length, 1U chassis and can be back-to-back in a rack to be installed. In a so-called full height server rack can in this way in total 2432 cores do their work. The Baserock Slab is equipped with eight quad-core Armada XP chips with the 2MB cache of Marvell based on the ARM Cortex-A15, a 32bit core. For the design of the server has CodeThink worked with Cogent.
The eight Armada XP chips, and supporting hardware are just as many so-called system-on-modules placed via a video connector with the system board are connected. This allows the Baserock Slab in the future easily be upgraded to faster processormodules. The cpu’s in the Baserock Slab run at a clock speed of 1.33 GHz.
The cpu’s in the Baserock Slab via a network switch connected with each other, whereby the total bandwidth between two cpus, up to 5Gbit/s, while the Armada XP-sum’s two 10Gbit/s-ethernet ports for remote data sharing. Each processor in the Baserock Slab has a msata ssd of 30GB and a sata connection, while software built-in to the server remotely to administer it. The Baserock Slab would be within a few weeks.
