ARM microchips are used by millions of people to connect everyday
devices and appliances over the internet. Arm’s designs lie at the heart
of almost every smartphone sold today. Many cheaper phones use its
off-the-shelf chips but for more sophisticated and expensive handsets,
chipmakers often customise Arm’s technology to produce more distinctive
features. With Intel backing out of the mobile processor market earlier
this year to focus on servers, modems and the “internet of things”,
there are few viable alternatives to Arm.
Television
Many
modern televisions enable users to watch programmes and films through apps such
as Netflix, which are powered by ARM-based processors. The firm’s technology is
also frequently used in remote controls and set-top boxes.
Smartphones
and tablets
ARM
technology helps power both smartphones and iPads. E-readers, such as Kindles,
and digital cameras also use the products.
Home
‘smart’ systems
Smart
household appliances often use ARM-based chips to give homeowners greater
control over their functions – and costs. This can include internet-connected
thermostats, allowing users to control their heating via their smartphone,
fridges that alert users when they have run out of groceries, and electricity
metres that can help save money on energy bills.
Wearable
gadgets
Fitness
trackers and smart watches are becoming increasingly popular with consumers.
These gadgets have relied on ARM technology for years.
Internal
car systems
ARM-based
chips are frequently used in cars to show drivers maps, offer voice recognition
and to control music. They are also being used in prototypes for self-driving
cars to power systems that trigger automatic electronic braking, for example.
The technology could also be used in smart roads warning drivers about spots of
black ice ahead.
Drones
Drones
are becoming increasingly popular, be it families flying them in the park or
photographers capturing aerial shots. They rely on tiny computers called
microcontrollers and ARM estimates that a quarter of the chips made last year
used its technology.
Energy
efficient cities
Street
lamps that dim themselves and parking meters that detect when spaces are empty
are examples of sensors being used by cities to cut costs and help inhabitants.
ARM believes this sector holds great potential for its business.
New Cavium ThunderX2 adopts 64-bit ARM-based servers to address application and workload requirements
Semiconductor
vendor Cavium announced Monday ThunderX2, its second generation of workload
optimized ARM server SoCs that targets high performance volume servers deployed
by public/private cloud and telecom communications data centers and high
performance computing applications. It is optimized for data center workloads
such as compute, security, storage, data analytics, network function
virtualization and distributed databases.
The ThunderX2 line of processors currently includes four workload optimized processors targeting different workloads.
The ThunderX2_CP has been optimized for cloud compute workloads such as private and public clouds, web serving, web caching, web search, commercial HPC workloads such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and reservoir modeling. This line supports multiple 10/25/40/50/100 GbE network Interfaces and PCIe Gen3 interfaces. It also includes accelerators for virtualization and vSwitch offload.
The ThunderX2_ST has been optimized for big data, cloud storage, massively parallel processing (MPP) databases and Data warehousing workloads. This family supports multiple 10/25/40/50/100 GbE network interfaces, PCIe Gen3 interfaces and SATAv3 interfaces. It also includes hardware accelerators for data protection/ integrity/security, user to user efficient data movement.
The ThunderX2_SC has been optimized for secure web front-end, security appliances and cloud RAN type workloads. This family supports multiple 10/25/40/50/100 GbE interfaces and PCIe Gen3 interfaces. Integrated hardware accelerators include Cavium’s industry leading, 5th generation NITROX security technology with acceleration for IPSec, RSA and SSL.
The ThunderX2_NT has been optimized for media servers, scale-out embedded applications and NFV type workloads. This family supports multiple 10/25/40/50/100 GbE interfaces. It also includes OCTEON style hardware accelerators for packet parsing, shaping, lookup, QoS and forwarding.
“The Cavium ThunderX2 will expand the market opportunity for ARM-based server technologies by addressing demanding application and workload requirements for compute, storage networking and security,” said Simon Segars, CEO, ARM. “ThunderX2 demonstrates Cavium’s ability to deliver a combination of innovation and engineering execution and the new product family increases the momentum for server deployments powered by ARM processors in large scale data centers and end user environments.”
Cavium’s ThunderX2 SoC line is supported by a comprehensive software ecosystem ranging from platform level systems management and firmware to commercial operating systems, development environments and applications.
Cavium has actively engaged in server industry standards groups such as UEFI and delivered numerous reference platforms to an array of community and corporate partners. Cavium has also demonstrated its position in the open source software community driving upstream kernel enablement for ThunderX, actively contributing to Linaro’s enterprise and networking groups, investing in Linux Foundation projects such as Xen and OPNFV and sponsoring the FreeBSD Foundation’s ARMv8 server implementation.
ThunderX2 will deliver two to three times the performance across a range of standard benchmarks and applications compared to ThunderX, while boosting the market reach of the ThunderX line of processors by targeting applications that require high single thread performance such as web search, graph analytics, a variety of enterprise applications such as massively parallel processing (MPP) databases, data warehousing and enterprise HPC applications such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and reservoir modelling. ThunderX2 will deliver comparable performance at a better total cost of ownership compared to the next generation of traditional server processors.

Several
months ago we had pre-release benchmarks of the Cavium ThunderX. The company
promptly contacted us and wanted to show what its hardware can do. Those
benchmarks were done on an older OS with older software. Over the past few
weeks we have been working with both the single and dual socket (48 core and 96
core) variants of the Cavium ThunderX part and what struck us is how fast the
software side is maturing in key areas. We will have more in-depth benchmarks
of the platforms running real world workloads soon.
Prior
to the release of the Cavium ThunderX most 64-bit ARM development, even for
server applications, has been done on low price ARM development boards. There
the typical core and memory count is both fixed and low. Networking is often
provided by a USB to Ethernet adapter. This is a scene of typical ARM
development hardware to date at many Silicon Valley startups:
While that is great for IoT development, the Cavium ThunderX platform is completely different. There are both single and dual processor configurations scaling up to 96 64-bit ARM cores. Memory capacities can scale into the TB range, or about 1000x a typical IoT development board. Networking provided on our test platforms is 80Gbps for our single processor system and 160Gbps on our dual processor system. Onboard storage can support more than a dozen SSDs or hard drives. Here is what our dual Cavium ThunderX 96 core test platform (a Gigabyte R270-T61) looks like inside:
The
bottom line is, if you are developing for ARM in the data center, you need to
get a Cavium ThunderX platform as it is the best data center ARM platform
generally available today. In the remainder of this article, we are going to
show how some benchmarks around the evolving software and development
ecosystems. These benchmarks will show how the Cavium ThunderX is a competitive
server platform. With a few weeks of working with the hardware/ software, and
given the fact we manage both lab and production servers with Ubuntu, we are
going to share some anecdotal experiences as well.
The
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Update
We
originally received our single Cavium ThunderX 48 core system Gigabyte R120-T30
that we reviewed here. It had Ubuntu 14.04 LTS pre-installed from Cavium. After
poking around with the machine running in our data center, there were a few
nuances to the setup and ARM platforms:
- - Using
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS required quite a bit of patching to get great performance
- - Trying
to pull working software via “apt-get install” if it resided in universe
did not always work. Sometimes packages were just not present. Those that
did install were not optimized.
- - As Cavium pointed out, using newer gcc versions and building applications from the latest source was often the way to get good performance out of ARM platforms.
We
updated the 1S ThunderX platform to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS the same week we received
the 2S ThunderX platform in our data center. It was immediately clear that the
experience was much better. Software that required patching instead worked out
of the box. Packages installed from repos almost every time with even many
multiverse packages working without having to custom compile software. This was
a completely different experience.
The update had two implications. First, unlike Ubuntu 14.04 LTS,
16.04 LTS felt more like it just worked. Second, out of box performance was
much better than in 14.04.
During our work with the Cavium ThunderX platform, we have had access to a single 48-core ARMv8 2.0GHz SKU. Cavium’s strategy is to target different processor models into different market. Aside from clock speed and core count, Cavium has feature-based differentiation for its different ThunderX product families. We received permission to publish information on the different SKUs and their unique features.
The four Cavium ThunderX families (ThunderX_CP, ThunderX_ST, ThunderX_SC, ThunderX_NT) have a similar base architecture. From this common architecture, each chip is tailored to its targeted application. There are a few common underpinnings but this is the basic block diagram that shows all potential components of the platform.
The ThunderX_CP family is targeted at compute workloads. These chips target public and private clouds, web caching and web serving, search, social media and similar applications. The main accelerator in this family is the vSwitch Offload Engine. If you think about the application workload this is targeted at, one will take advantage of the high speed networking, multitude of cores and RAM bandwidth.
With Cavium’s strong networking portfolio as well as 16x SATA III 6.0gbps ports (60% more than a comparable Intel single socket system), storage is an application where the ThunderX architecture is well suited. The ThunderX_ST family targets block, object and distributed file storage workloads, distributed database applications and Hadoop style workloads. It comes in 8-48 core variants and has additional hardware accelerators such as the compression engine available.
Building on the high core count and the high-end networking throughput, the Cavium ThunderX_SC is focused on applications like eCommerce web servers. Cavium includes hardware accelerators for SSL, IPSec, deep packet inspection, anti-virus and anti-malware to free CPU cycles. Cavium has IP that it uses in dedicated Nitrox III chips that it leverages here.
With Cavium’s background as a networking company, and given the specs of the ThunderX chips, one area we think the company will do well in is in the networking and SP cloud space. The ThunderX_NT targets network function virtualization (NFV) servers and the telecom clouds being deployed with a mix of high bandwidth along with hardware accelerators. Like the storage family, the networking focused family can scale from 8-48 cores.
Final Words
We have been working with a single socket Cavium ThunderX machine, the Gigabyte R120-T30 server thus far and the results have been impressive. Cavium is embracing a different approach to product differentiation than Intel. While Intel is generally focused on raw x86 performance, Cavium’s SoC design allows it to differentiate on features. This can include networking, storage accelerators and other vectors. The Cavium ThunderX family is the first ARMv8 chip we have seen, in production, that can legitimately match and outpace parts of the Intel Xeon E5 line in terms of performance.
