Here at ARM we continuously work to increase the quality of our driver software. Thorough testing is a significant proportion of our driver production process and its efficiency enables us to deliver drivers…

In this blog I will finish the construction of this abstract machine, forming the final component: a stereotypical Mali Midgard GPU programmable core.

If you didn't make it to the Linaro Connect in Macau earlier this month you may have missed Andrew Thoelke's excellent pitch on ARM Trusted Firmware.  ARM Trusted Firmware is low level, highly privileged…

A whitepaper that looks at TrustZone based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) in context of the 4 compartment security model.  The second half looks at how a well designed Apps processor can use TrustZone…

ARM processors are increasingly used in automotive applications such as In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), powertrain, chassis and body control.

Welcome to my series of blogs on engineering software for accelerated systems!  Special-purpose hardware designed to execute certain computations (prominently, GPUs designed to execute graphics computations…

It’s that time of the year again where spring is in full force, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and this year’s college graduates are spreading their wings and sending out resumes.  Despite at least…

中文版 Chinese Version:“基准测试代表什么？”I’m asked quite a lot about how I feel about benchmarks. When I sit down to write these blogs I usually go searching for suitable quotes. For this one I found…

Every time I stand up at GDC and give a presentation on how to improve the performance of mobile applications there is always one person in the crowd that fills in the feedback form with the following…

Time and time again when I’m presenting at events I am asked the same questions: What does the future of mobile content look like? How much performance will content developers need? When will mobile devices…

You know those deep questions you get in philosophy like "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?", "What is the sound of one hand clapping?", "Why is there…

Arm Cortex-M processors offer versatile interrupt priority management but the multiple priority numbering conventions can lead to bugs. I explain the subject and cut through the confusion.

I have just returned from my third Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona and I have no doubt this year’s has been for me the best one so far! We are continuing to see a strong trend in independent third…
