If cloud computing is going to be as pervasive tomorrow as some sales executives have hyped them, the need for a more sophisticated platform has to be fulfilled today.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s not enough to tweak some components or put some functions like I\/O on the chip. That will definitely help performance, but we are not looking at just shaving off some latency when it comes to financial and other mission-critical applications. Clocking needs to be totally synchronous and that means getting it from one source.<br \/>\nThe importance of cloud computing is being \u201camped up\u201d because manufacturers have to have some battle cry to boost sales of servers as well as next-generation chips. Would you buy this year\u2019s car model if they only had eight-track tape systems in them? Half of you probably don\u2019t even know what an eight-track tape is. The short answer is \u201cNo.\u201d You would wait until they made the car with the proper instrumentation.<\/p>\n<p>read more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every cloud computing platform that is being sold today will be obsolete prematurely unless they can retrofit them with a single-source timing device.
