Motivation

Arm has had a long history of research in distributed systems. In my last blog I wrote about how we have focused that research on applying Arm technology to High Performance Computing (HPC), but in the past four years we’ve also been looking at various…

In the last few years, once popular monolithic application architectures are being dropped in favor of distributed microservice architectures – for reasons of improved resiliency, portability, and scalability. At the technological heart of this transition…

Embedded memories are a key component of IoT SoCs and recent applications such as Neural Network Accelerators. Unfortunately, SRAM based embedded memory has a large footprint which often covers more than 50% of the silicon area and is responsible for…

This February I attended the Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA) in Washington D.C, which celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. To commemorate the occasion, a special mention was made to Laxmi Bhuyan, Yale Patt and Dharma Agrawal, the organisers…

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 memories can be revolutionary for computer…

The 2018 ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers took place between 8-10 May on the beautiful island of Ischia, 30km from the Italian city of Naples. It seeks to explore novel and innovative approaches for design of various types of computing…

Simulating a robot

Who wants to build a robot? Robots can be expensive, time consuming and challenging to get right.

For those of us who want to focus on the software systems without having to build a robot, there are simulators available that can help…

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 which I was involved in culminated in publications…
