Total Compute is a way to move beyond optimizing individual IP to take a system-level solution view of the SoC that puts use cases and experiences at the heart of the designs. For more details please see Arm’s Total Compute Strategy page .
Total Compute focuses on optimizing Performance, Security, and Developer Access across Arm’s IP and software and tools. This means higher-performing, more immersive and more secure experiences on devices, and an easier app development process.

The Total Compute Platform provides an envelope for all the latest Arm's IP and software solutions, optimised to work together and constituting the Arm Total Compute approach described above.
A reference Open Source software stack is now available for the first version of the Total Compute FVP (Fixed Virtual Platform) platform, named TC0. This is intended to enable product software development and help “bootstrap” a variety of Arm Partner software and product solutions. This aims to provide a reference OS/RTOS port for each of the compute components, including a Cortex-A hosted Linux stack with a reduced memory footprint. It will also provide example drivers for key IP components. Supporting code is available either directly in the relevant upstream projects, or via public-facing git repositories hosted by Linaro.
The Total Compute FVP (Fixed Virtual Platform) platform is available for partners to download through Arm Connect .
