Arm Blog

Another important milestone was reached recently for TSMC  and ARM when the teams taped out at the end of December 2013 (see block diagram) the first 64 bit ARMv8 processors in a big.LITTLE configuration…

This blog continues the development of this abstract machine, looking at the tile-based rendering model of the Arm Mali GPU family. I’ll assume you've read the blog on pipelining; if you haven’t I suggest…

The ARM® Cortex®-A Series Programmer’s Guide has proved to be a very popular addition to the ARM documentation set, and now also forms the reference textbook for the ARM Accredited Engineer(AAE) examinations…

Time sure flies when you’re having fun! It’s been more than two years since SIGGRAPH Asia 2011 in Hong Kong, where I had the pleasure of unveiling our Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression…

This is the second part of a series of blogs about hardware coherency. This part talks about the implementation of hardware cache coherency and use cases.

It was not that long ago that embedded development meant working on an x86 PC with loads of memory and power hungry CPUs then running a cross-compiler to get code compiled for the target embedded architecture…

Chinese Version中文版Today ARM launched the ARM® Mali™-DP500 Display Processor, the first high specification Display Processor that ARM has developed. Alongside the Display Processor itself, ARM…

Today the ARM® Mali™-DP500 Display Processor was launched alongside the ARM Cortex®-A17.We are all aware that the resolution of screens is increasing: from Full HD smartphones and Quad…

The subject of digital filtering is vast but the basics can be understood fairly easily. In this post we cover this subject to help your understanding of the topic.

We will explore the fundamental macro-scale architectural structures and behaviors developers have to worry about, how this translates into possible problems which can be triggered by content.

While there has been tremendous progress in developing wireless technologies to meet the growing demands for high-bandwidth applications, video decoder applications have traditionally consumed a substantial…

Ordinarily the blog posts I write relate directly to whatever I have been working on recently. This one was inspired, or rather, specifically requested from my friend and colleague in Developer Relations…

Streamline, the profiling tool in DS-5, is a powerful tool for analysing system behaviour with proven results at both macro (system level interactions) and micro (CPU code hotspots) levels.Mental modelsStreamline…

Gain a deeper understanding of the ARM® Compiler and the optimization techniques it uses. By understanding how to control these optimizations, your code can benefit from speed increases, size savings…
