▁micro ser vers ▁being ▁based ▁on ▁At oms ▁or ▁early ▁ 3 2 bit ▁AR M ▁cores . ▁The ▁aim ▁of ▁the ▁DO ME ▁Micro Data Center ▁project ▁is ▁to ▁deliver ▁high ▁performance ▁at ▁low ▁cost ▁and ▁low ▁power . ▁A ▁key ▁characteristic ▁of ▁a ▁Micro Data Center ▁is ▁its ▁pack aging : ▁very ▁small ▁form ▁factor ▁that ▁allows ▁short ▁communication ▁distances . ▁This ▁is ▁based ▁on ▁using ▁Micro ser vers , ▁ ▁elimin ating ▁all ▁unnecessary ▁components ▁by ▁integr ating ▁as ▁much ▁as ▁possible ▁from ▁the ▁traditional ▁compute ▁server ▁into ▁a ▁single ▁So C ▁( Server ▁on ▁a ▁chip ). ▁A ▁micro server ▁will ▁not ▁deliver ▁the ▁highest ▁possible ▁single - thread ▁performance , ▁instead , ▁it ▁offers ▁an ▁energy ▁optimized ▁design ▁point ▁at ▁medium - high ▁delivered ▁performance . ▁In ▁ 2 0 1 5 , ▁several ▁high ▁performance ▁So C s ▁start ▁appearing ▁on ▁the ▁market , ▁late ▁ 2 0 1 6 ▁a ▁wider ▁choice ▁is ▁available , ▁such ▁as ▁Qual com ms ▁H yd ra . ▁ ▁At ▁server ▁level , ▁the ▁ 2 8   nm ▁T 4 2 4 0 ▁based ▁micro server ▁card ▁offers ▁twice ▁the ▁operations ▁per ▁J ou le ▁compared ▁to ▁an ▁energy ▁optimized ▁ 2 2   nm ▁Fin f et ▁X E ON - E 3 ▁ 1 2 3 0 L v 3 ▁based ▁server , ▁while ▁deliver ing ▁ 4 0 % ▁more ▁aggregate ▁performance . ▁The ▁comparison ▁is ▁at ▁server ▁board ▁and ▁not ▁at ▁chip ▁level . ▁
