→Linux on 64-Bit ARM Enterprise Systems
The main thrust of the OSTEP research is on Linux-based software for 64-bit ARM computer systems. These systems have the potential to reduce the power, space, and cooling requirements of datacentre server systems, and introduce new levels of competition between server architectures (we've had one dominant architecture for a while, which has led to reduced innovation and development).
=== AArch64 Porting and Optimizations ===
Current Linux on 64-ARM work is focused on completing some of the few remaining package ports, and optimizing performance on ARM64/AArch64.
=== Fedora ARM ===
Earlier phases of OSTEP research involved advancing the state of the [[Fedora ARM Secondary Architecture]] project, bringing the thousands of open source packages in the Fedora distribution to low-power ARM processors. Seneca operated the public [[Fedora ARM Koji Buildsystem]] until commercially-available enterprise-class ARM servers systems became available in February 2013 and the build system was subsequently moved to the Fedora data centre colocation in Phoenix AZ. OSTEP collaborates globally with members of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora community] to prepare the Fedora ARM software releases. Together we are steadily moving toward achieved the goal of promoting ARM from secondary to primary [[:fedora:Architectures|architecture status]].
