Recently, Carbon released the first ARMv8 Linux CPAK utilizing the ARM CoreLink CCN-504 Cache Coherent Network on Carbon System Exchange. The CCN family of interconnect offers a wide range of high bandwidth, low latency options for networking and data…

The latest high-performance ARMv8-A processor is the Cortex-A72.The press release reports that the A72 delivers CPU performance that is 50x greater than leading smartphones from five years ago and will be the anchor in premium smartphones for 2016. The…

In late 2014, Carbon released the first Carbon Performance Analysis Kit (CPAK) utilizing the ARM CoreLink CCN-504 Cache Coherent Network. Today, the CCN-504 can be built on Carbon IP Exchange with a wide range of configuration options. There are now…

The first Carbon Performance Analysis Kit (CPAK) demonstrating the AMBA 5 CHI protocol has been released on Carbon System Exchange. The design features the Arm Cortex-A57 configured for AMBA 5 CHI and the Arm CoreLink CCN-504 Cache Coherent Network.…

The annual Design Automation Conference (DAC) was held last month, and what a show it was!  If you recall, back in February, I talked about TSMC and ARM’s first tape-out with the ARM Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 processors. At DAC, we presented…

We (The specified item was not found.) have just completed our first major release of 2014. It includes significant new content and many bug fixes to all products. Today, I would like to highlight the updated models of the ARM® Cortex™-A53

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 on TSMC’s leading edge manufacturing process…

At this year's ARM® TechCon™, Carbon Design Systems did a joint presentation with ARM entitled "Getting the Most out of the ARM CoreLink™ NIC-400."  In this blog, I'll give a high level overview of what we presented and also give an opportunity to download…

Hello there!

At this year's TSMC OIP event, I presented “Optimizing Cortex-A57 for TSMC 16nm FinFET” and it was a packed auditorium.

I would like to thank ARM, TSMC and Cadence for such an impressive colloboration in making sure that we…

Taking a major step forward for advanced-node semiconductor design, ARM and Cadence recently (April 4, 2013) announced the first implementation of an ARM® Cortex^TM-A57 processor on the TSMC 16nm FinFET manufacturing process. Here's a closer look…

Big gives the impression of being large as in size, height, width, or amount: a big house; a big quantity. We've heard of big brother, big bang, or the notorious wrapper B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls (after a character in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again).…
