Chinese Version 中文版:扩展 CoreLink 缓存一致性网络系列
It has been a busy month for ARM in the infrastructure space. ARM TechCon 2014 started it off with ARM silicon, OEM and ecosystem partners demonstrating their new SoCs, hardware and software platforms. The show…
It was the philosopher George Santayana who first proclaimed “Those who do not heed history are doomed to repeat it” over a hundred years ago, and it remains highly relevant today to those who are tackling the issue of developing faster, smaller…
Chinese Version中文版:扩展系统一致性 - 第 2 部分 - 实施、big.LITTLE、GPU 计算和企业级应用
This is the second part of a series of blogs about hardware coherency. In the first blog I introduced the fundamentals of cache coherency. This part talks about the implementation of hardware…

The theme of TechCon 2013 was “Where intelligence connects” and in many ways hardware system coherency is an important part of connecting the intelligence of an SoC. This year I presented…
ARM products in server and networking? Yes, it’s happening and AMBA® 5 CHI is a big part of making that happen. The AMBA 5 CHI protocol enables the latest ARMv8 architecture Cortex®-A50 series processors to work together in high-performance…
I thought I'd post a short blog post about commonly asked questions on AMBA 4 ACE and system coherency.
What does ACE mean?
ACE is the "AXI Coherency Extensions" introduced with the AMBA 4 specification released in 2011. For those of you thinking "What…
Updated 29th October 2013
High performance and power efficiency are critical to the latest mobile devices, and AMBA® 4 ACE™ is a fundamental technology supporting ARM's big.LITTLE processing. In case you missed the announcements, the big…
Several people have asked me for the following paper I presented in Embedded World 2014:
ARM Cortex-M Processor based System Prototyping on FPGA
Many SoC designers need to design FPGA prototypes of Cortex-M series processor-based systems for…
