The Arm Research Summit originated in 2016, Cambridge, UK, engaging 216 delegates from 82 different organizations across academia and industry. The latest Summit saw that 374 delegates enjoy the first ever US-based Summit in Austin, TX, reflecting a 209…

Research and publishing are two vital elements of modern society and have underpinned the unprecedented growth in human knowledge and progress since the invention of Gutenberg's printing press nearly 600 years ago. The more recent digital revolution has…

2019 was yet another year of incredible technology discovery. From healthcare, to food, to artificial intelligence¹, exciting and inspiring advancements have been made across the research community, and Arm Research is no exception. Our teams have shared their…

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…

2017 was the year Artificial Intelligence (AI) became pervasive in homes, thanks in part to aggressive ad campaigns from Amazon and Google declaring their digital home assistants the new must-have household appliances, bringing the consumer vision of…

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…

Sunny Austin was, for the first time, the host of this year’s Arm Research Summit and, just as in previous years, we saw a strong High Performance Computing (HPC) presence. Every session had an HPC track, and the rooms were packed. It has been a long…

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…
