Arm Community blogs

The trend for the electronics industry remains the same as ever; we want chips that are smaller, faster, more efficient. When you look at the trajectory of SoC designs you can see that the cost of integrating…

In previous blogs we covered an introduction to System Trace Macrocell (STM) concepts and terminology, and the STM Programmers' model with an example of how to generate efficient trace data. Once the…

In this blog, the second in a series, we explore the programmers' model for the ARM System Trace Macrocell. A previous blog covered basic concepts of the STM architecture and implementation. Example…

AUSTIN, Texas—With an eye toward enabling next-generation mainstream mobile designs, ARM this week announced ARM Artisan physical IP, including POP™ IP, based on the new ARM Cortex-A73 processor. Targeting…

This article aims to introduce the ARM System Trace Macrocell (STM), outlining what it is, its basic operation, and why one might want to use it. Example code will be provided, minimally targeted at the…

Something of major significance happened on Friday June 3rd . The computing world collided with the world of nueroscience, here are the two relevant referneces: The Independent reported that Elon Musk…

Here's a quick tip to convert pictures to raw format with FFMPEG, in order to use them as a texture in OpenGL, with no extra conversion :BMP filesffmpeg -vcodec bmp -i /path/to/texture-file.bmp -vcodec…

In February, a new paper from Google's DeepMind team appeared on arxiv. This one was interesting – they showed dramatically improved performance and training time of their Atari-playing Deep Q-Learning…

Welcome to the next installment of my VR blog series. In previous VR blogs we’ve considered the importance of clear focus to a VR experience, as well as the essential requirement to keep ‘motions to photons…
