open compute
About this tag
The open compute tag covers discussions around the Open Compute Project (OCP), an initiative that publishes open hardware designs for data center infrastructure. Content includes Microsoft's Project Olympus, an open modular server reference used with ARM-based Qualcomm Centriq 2400 processors in Azure testing, and Facebook's early release of server and networking schematics to improve efficiency. The tag also touches on AMD's ROCm software expansion to Windows for AI and GPU acceleration, which relates to open compute ecosystems. Recurring themes include hyperscale cloud hardware, modular server designs, ARM adoption, and open-source hardware collaboration.
Microsoft’s cloud hardware playbook took a visible step off the x86 roadmap in 2017 when the company publicly embraced ARM-based server designs — demonstrating Qualcomm’s Centriq 2400 on Project Olympus motherboards at the Open Compute Project summit and confirming Azure had ported key server...
