AbstractIn the last couple of years ARM-based servers have been gradually adopted by cloud service providers and utilized in the data centers. Such tendency may provide great business opportunities for various companies in the industry. Hence, the ability to timely track the development trend of the ARM-based server ecosystem (ASE) from technical perspective is of great importance. In this paper the level of development of the ASE is quantitatively assessed based on open-source data analysis. In particular, statistical data is extracted from 42 Linux kernels to analyze the development process of the ASE. Furthermore, an estimate of the development trend of the ASE in the next 10 years is made based on the statistical data. The estimated results provide insight on when the ASE may become as mature as today's x86-based server ecosystem.
