Abstract: In order to compare the performance of Intel Xeon processor for high performance computing,this paper eva-luated an ARM-ISA based-SoC floating point computing capacity,memory access bandwidth and latency.Computing capacity of double floating point on this is about 475 GFLOPS that is only 66% of Intel Xeon E5-2680v3.Memory bandwidth is 105 GB/s,better than Xeon processor.Moreover,this paper ported 4 scientific computing applications including stencil method on this SoC.The experiments show that the performance of two stencil applications on this SoC is close to that on Intel Xeon processors,and thread mapping for cache locality is a kind of performance optimization methods for this SoC.More performance study later on the new generation ARM Server SoC will be explored
