• Cortex-A series's pipeline is for only one core or for all cores?

    For example, in ARM's related docments says that cortex-A7 support max to 4 cores and cortex-A8 support only one core, and the same time cortex-A7's pipeline is not the same with cortex-A8's pipeline. I want ask the cortex-A7's pipeline is for all the…

  • NEON: Cortex A7 is 4 times slower than Cortex A8 ?

    I'm seeing Cortex-A7 cycle-timing table here :

    http://hardwarebug.org/2014/05/15/cortex-a7-instruction-cycle-timings/


    For example, 

    VADD.F32 Dd, Dn, Dm takes 2 cycles

    VADD.F32 Qd, Qn, Qm takes 4 cycles

    same goes for VMUL..

    Is this really the case…

  • Minimum MMU table size on ARMv8 to map 4GB memory space, in AArch64 mode

    On ARMv7 Cortex-A8/9/7, to map 4GB memory space, the minimum MMU table size is 16 KB(section mapping). Any possible to map 4 GB memory space with 16 KB MMU table, on ARMv8, AArch64 mode?
