Research Collaboration and Enablement

Arm-based processors have traditionally dominated the mobile world of smartphones, tablets, and embedded IoT devices. However, in recent years, the increasing power demands of data centers, and in particular…

Rob Aitken is an Arm Research Fellow. Here, he shares his thoughts and key takeaways from the Future Chips Forum, held last December in Beijing.

The fourth annual Arm Research Summit, and the first in the US, held in Austin, Texas, created a collaborative space for academics, researchers and industry experts globally to discuss complex computing…

Part three of the SMARTER blog, smarter-device-manager enables containers deployed using Kubernetes to access devices available on the node. A capability essential for IoT applications running at the edge…

The ability to perform computation on data efficiently is only half the story when it comes to new Arm Helium technology. Equally important is the ability to access and store this data in memory.

Arm is changing the landscape of HPC today. Following an exciting ISC 2019, and recent ecosystem announcements set to deliver energy-efficient supercomputing based on Arm technology across three continents…

In the current technology scaling paradigm, semiconductor device physics and conductor parasitics are fundamentally limiting microprocessor performance beyond the 7nm process node. There are two major…

Our second Research Enablement Kit is available now: SoC Design and Prototyping using Arm DesignStart. Arm DesignStart is the fastest route to designing and prototyping custom SoCs. This Research Enablement…

Microcontrollers (MCUs) are the ubiquitous computer of our time, being tiny, cheap, and low power. Often powered by using solar cell, they are in your watch, fridge, and your car will contain about thirty…

Carefully crafting your Dockerfiles proves to be not only important for minimizing your container attack surface, but also for speeding up the deployment times of applications running both in the cloud…

The decreasing cost and power consumption of intelligent, interconnected, and interactive devices at the edge of the internet are creating opportunities to instrument our cities, factories, farms and environment…

Temporal data prefetching usually introduces huge on- and off-chip storage and traffic overheads, making them impractical. However, a novel solution proposed by Arm Research and The University of Texas…

The growth of the Internet of Things has brought about a range of new challenges for IC designers, now IoT devices are required to perform a range of different functions, within strict power and volume…

In previous posts we've looked at how Arm Helium technology handles vector instructions. The problem is that whenever code is vectorized, it’s not long before Amdahl's law sneaks up on you! Amdahl's law…

The Arm Research Summit has been engaging academics, industry experts and researchers since 2016, promoting collaboration in a research led environment. Overtime the Summit has grown and developed, seeing…

Fixed functional hardware accelerators have been researched for many years, and it is well understood that they improve the performance and energy efficiency of a system. Integrating hardware accelerators…

Researchers have studied neural network compression for quite some time. However, the need for always on compute has led to a recent trend towards executing these applications on even smaller IoT devices…

LightweightM2M is a device management protocol designed for sensor networks and the demands of a machine-to-machine (M2M) environment. The OMA SpecWorks LwM2M v1.1 specification was released earlier this…

Changing the batteries: A routine task just about manageable if it is needed once a month on household devices. But what if your devices are deployed in their thousands in remote, inaccessible locations…

Architecture simulators are a key tool in the computer architecture toolbox. They provide a convenient model of real hardware at a level of abstraction that makes them faster and more flexible than low…

2019 was yet another year of incredible technology discovery for Arm Research. Inspiring advancements have been made across the research community, and Arm Research has contributed to this. Our teams have…
