Having a clear interest in a field and being self-driven helps with the challenges encountered before and during a PhD. It turns out, however, that finding the the ideal place to do is much trickier than…
Arm Research part of team working to develop advanced technology for AI
Arm Research is working together with Applied Materials and Symetrix to develop a “neuromorphic” electronic switch that functions like the neurons and synapses of the human brain, as part of DARPA’s Electronics…
A Deep Learning Survival Guide for Computer Architects
Over the last few years, there’s been a terrific amount of interest in artificial intelligence, and specifically the branch of machine learning known as 'deep learning'. This post provides a brief overview…
The Semantics of Transactions and Weak Memory in x86, Power, Arm, and C++
Dr Nathan Chong (Principal Researcher, Arm) discusses his work with Tyler Sorensen (PhD student, Imperial College London) and Dr John Wickerson (Research Fellow, Imperial College London) on the semantics…
Concurrent Programming, Transactions and Weak Memory
Concurrent programming is about the useful interaction of multiple processes over shared resources, and ensuring atomicity is just one of the challenges faced. The fundamental difficulty is that concurrent…
Persistency for Synchronization-Free Regions
Emerging non-volatile memories (NVM), such as 3D XP and STT-MRAM, offer the promises of combining the performance and byte-addressability of DRAM with the density and non-volatility of NAND. Such non-volatile…
