Arm Research

Arm DesignStart for Academia offers easy access to the Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M3 processors for teaching (DesignStart Eval), research (DesignStart Pro Academic), and commercialization (DesignStart Pro).

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.

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…

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…

There are just a few weeks to go before the 2018 Arm Research Summit! We’re pleased to announce that our full agenda is now available, featuring a wide range of talks, workshops and demos, and keynotes…

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.

The Arm Research Summit is just around the corner, taking place between 17-19 September in Cambridge, UK. If you missed out on tickets to the event, you can watch it live on YouTube across all three days…

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…

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…

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 has had a long history of research into distributed systems. We have previously focused that research on applying Arm technology to HPC, but in recent years we’ve also been looking at various forms…

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.

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

With the release of the SecureMark-TLS benchmark by the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) this summer, it is now possible to gather information about the performance and power consumption…
