These processors=0Ahave traditionally been designed for the highest single thread=0Aperformance, but suffer from high power demands. What would it=0Atake for an entirely new processor to be competitive and acceptable=0Ato the HPC community? We explore both hardware and software aspects=0Aof that question, looking specifically at ARM processors from=0Aperformance, functionality, and cost perspectives, and the special=0Ademands and freedom in the HPC space that affect the answers.
