Read all comments(0)It seems that the crusade to drive down energy consumption in data centres is assuming extreme proportions, and rightly so.
The latest effort from HP is dubbed Project Moonshot, which is aimed at finding an alternative to the massive computing infrastructure needed to support the Web and billions of mobile devices, as per a report by Reuters.
The computing giant is working with Austin-based Calxeda, a chip-making startup that uses ARM's designs into its microprocessors. HP intends to use the new chips in servers meant for use in large-scale remote computing operations such as Twitter and Facebook data centres. ARM is an investor in Calxeda (no surprises there :)
The first Calxeda-based "pilot servers" are expected to be available in the first half of 2012.
