The company Qualcomm, which calls itself #39;the world leader in 3G mobile technology and the next generation#39;, is developing a single-chip system for servers on the architecture of ARM. This is evidenced by announcements about finding appropriate experts.

As stated in the description of one of the vacant positions, a specialist who will take it, will have to deal with #39;prototypes of new Qualcomm SoC based ARMv8 for servers that are optimized for power consumption#39;.

More specifically, the main responsibilities of `development engineer built-in power management software, server` includes #39;production specifications, development, porting, integration and testing of software and firmware for power management server platform#39;.

Recall, ARMv8 - the first 64-bit architecture of the ARM. It was introduced in October 2011. Then the company AppliedMicro demonstrated in the world#39;s first processor to 64-bit kernel ARMv8. `` One-server was implemented by specialists AppliedMicro means Programmable Gate Array Xilinx Virtex-6.


In addition to the processor core ARM-64, it was composed of high-performance tools to input, memory subsystem, and other units.

When Qualcomm will introduce its server platform architecture for ARM - is still unknown
