At the Arm Research Summit, the Arm Research Enablement team announced some exciting new initiatives. These were among our updated roadmap of technical offerings and user experience improvements. There was focus on the needs of the academic research community…

The annual Arm Research Summit fuels collaboration, research, and innovation in all areas of technology, with delegates from a range of research, academic and industrial backgrounds. After three years in the UK, the 2019 Summit took place in Austin, TX…

Microcontrollers (MCUs) are truly the ubiquitous computer of our time. They are tiny, cheap, and low power. They can often be powered indefinitely using a solar cell. They are in your watch, your fridge, and your car contains about 30 of them. The average…

The small form factor of IoT sensor nodes places severe energy constraints on computing platforms. To save energy, duty-cycling helps reduce the power of the sensor node, but this needs an ultra-low-power timer for reliable timed shutdown and wake up. Crystal…

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are an important class of algorithms. They are used in tasks where the strict order of the input conveys certain information, for example, natural language processing (NLP) and time-series based data. Increasingly, these…

Partnerships are important to us at Arm. We are an ecosystem company, which means that we strive to work together with partner companies for mutual success. This philosophy extends to Arm Research, where partnerships allow us to extend our reach further…

The fourth annual Arm Research Summit, and the first in the US, held in Austin, Texas, created a collaborative space for academics, researchers and industry experts globally to discuss complex computing challenges in the future landscape. The 15-18 September…

Numerous articles and papers have been written on emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) over the last few decades. These emerging technologies have been hyped as either: 

1. A DRAM replacement in the optimistic case
2. A Flash replacement
3. A new memory tier between DRAM…

In the previous instalment of this blog series we discussed some of the benefits that contactless (or wireless) 3D integration can offer in an Internet of Things (IoT) context. These being: low cost manufacturing and assembly, short design cycles, facility…

Over the past few years, the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about a range of new challenges for IC designers. IoT devices are required to perform a range of different functions. These range from; analogue sensing and energy-harvesting…

This blog is a companion to my keynote at Arm TechCon on 10 October, 2019.  I am publishing a blog form because I cover a LOT of ground in that 20 minute talk, and there are invariably topics that various people would like to know more about. Also, keynotes needing to…

In July of this year, Arm announced the availability of Arm Flexible Access which expands how partners can access and license Arm technology for semiconductor design. This new engagement model is already enabling silicon design teams, empowering them with…

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…

Core counts continue to increase for High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems, but multiple factors may prevent current software from fully utilizing the increased available thread count. Inter-thread communication and serialized execution may hamper…

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…

One of the main issues in High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems is the underutilization of resources. Parallel applications partition and distribute compute and data across processors in the system that work together to solve a given problem. In this…

This September, researchers, academics, students and industry experts will gather in Austin, Texas for the fourth annual Arm Research Summit. The Summit is a unique event which focuses on the latest technology developments and challenges across a broad…

Increasingly, intelligent applications are using neural networks at their core to deliver new functionality to users. These applications include language understanding and translation, image recognition, and object tracking and localization. Furthermore…

The Arm ML Research Lab explores cutting edge techniques and state-of-the-art algorithms. One of our primary research thrusts is investigating ways to bring more machine learning applications to Arm's products, and make existing applications more efficient

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, Eric Van Hensbergen, Fellow and Director of HPC Research…
