It’s been around 20 years since the emergence of Linux and rapid growth of the data centre began, when increasing amounts of computing power were made available to organizations around the world in what we now call the cloud. The advent of cloud computing made it possible for companies to scale in ways that were not possible before. We are currently seeing a similar explosion in growth, but now cloud and edge computing are taking advantage of highly parallel processors to perform complex calculations. The top supercomputers are now dominated by architectures that predominantly use GPUs. Data centres and embedded/edge systems are integrating CPUs and GPUs from multiple vendors alongside specialised processors for domains such as Al. This change has reached all industry verticals from finance and healthcare through to autonomous vehicles and manufacturing.
