Arm Community blogs

You don't need a graphic like this one to know that multi-core SoC designs are here to stay.  This one happens to be based on ARM's AMBA® 4 ACE architecture, which is particularly effective…

System-level Analysis with Performance Counters - This is my last post of this series (see Timeline analysis, Smart software profiling and Benchmarking if you missed previous posts), and you would expect…

Benchmarking -  ARM DS-5™ Streamline is designed for software and system analysis (see previous posts on Timeline analysis and software profiling), and that is where all its power features apply…

Smart software profilingFollowing up from previous post (Software Optimization: Four real-life Streamline use cases (Part 1): Timeline analysis), I will talk about the most basic use of ARM DS-5™ Stre…

Here at ARM's System Design Division almost every time we introduce someone to the ARM® DS-5™ Streamline performance analyzer we end up being asked, so how much faster can my system run…

An SMM is a Soft Macrocell Model which is an FPGA implementation of an ARM processor, built with ARM development boards. Life with an SMM, would be much easier, at least from an engineer's perspective…

Using power management features of complex SoCs (system on chip) can be difficult due to the complexity of the design and multiple power domains. In this blog I discuss the power management hardware features…

Smartphones are now one of the most important consumer electronics devices globally. Smartphone volume shipments are growing at a very healthy rate and are expected to exceed a billion units per annum…

Taking a major step forward for advanced-node semiconductor design, ARM and Cadence recently (April 4, 2013) announced the first implementation of an ARM® CortexTM-A57 processor on the TSMC 16nm FinFET…
