3. Welcome our newest HPC SIG Member

4. Linaro helps you work with the latest open source
technology, build support in upstream projects, ensure
smooth product roll outs, and reduce maintenance costs.
Instead of duplicating effort, competitors share
development costs of core platform technologies to
accelerate innovation and time to market.

5. Linaro High Performance Computing
Special Interest Group
The Linaro HPC SIG drives open source
software development for the Arm
architecture. It aims to lower barriers to
deployment and management through
standardisation, interoperability,
orchestration and use case
development.

7. Accelerate Deployment of
ARM into Datacenters
The Linaro Developer Cloud provides open source developers and
commercial ISVs access to the latest Arm-based, server-class hardware
running popular development environments, to enable the IoT, Edge and
Cloud ecosystem to develop, port and test for the Arm architecture.
