Arm Research

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…

I've had several opportunities to supervise student interns doing their Master’s or PhD degrees. As you can see from the map above, our interns come to us from all over the world, and three internships…

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…

Beatwise execution is at the heart of Helium technology. In the second part of a four-part series, we explore how new M-profile vector extensions efficiently handle different data formats.

Concurrent programming is about the useful interaction of multiple processes over shared resources, and ensuring atomicity is just one of the challenges faced. The fundamental difficulty is that concurrent…

The flexibility permitted by the Arm Scalable Vector Extension is valuable to computer architects looking to address the increasing computation requirements of HPC, data analytics and machine learning…

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.

Logic IP, such as Standard Cell (SC) libraries, are the foundation for the entire backend design and optimization flow in modern application-specific integrated circuit designs. Arm has long been building high…

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…

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…

Powering a trillion wireless sensor nodes each using a small lithium coin cell would require approximately 109,000 metric tons of Lithium - nearly three times the annual worldwide production.

Emerging non-volatile memories (NVM), such as 3D XP and STT-MRAM, offer the promises of combining the performance and byte-addressability of DRAM with the density and non-volatility of NAND. Such non-volatile…

Mobile computing is on the rise, and currently moving into some really exciting new applications and form factors ­– augmented reality (AR) glasses, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), automated driver assistance…

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…

The current specification for LwM2M is not a good fit when the server itself is a constrained IoT device and when user authentication together with fine grained dynamic access control is demanded. Complementing…

Having a clear interest in a field and being self-driven helps with the challenges encountered before and during a PhD. It turns out, however, that finding the the ideal place to do is much trickier than…

The Centre of Excellence will broaden the current scope of interaction and collaboration between BSC and Arm, from HPC to automotive, from scientific computing to real-time systems.

Dr Nathan Chong (Principal Researcher, Arm) discusses his work with Tyler Sorensen (PhD student, Imperial College London) and Dr John Wickerson (Research Fellow, Imperial College London) on the semantics…

Arm Research is responsible for delivering a clear vision of disruptive and emerging technologies, and how they may affect our future. This disruptive technology landscape is used to develop our research…

In the second part of a blog series exploring challenges in designing Power Delivery Networks, Shidhartha Das looks at the different components of a Power Delivery Network in order to understand their…

The Internet Engineering Task Force met in London from March 17th – 23rd for the first face-to-face meeting of the IETF Software Updates group for Internet of Things (SUIT). The SUIT working group is chartered…
