Just over 6 years ago, in October 2007, ARM introduced a product that had the potential to change the world. Not just in one market (like mobile), but nearly all known semiconductor markets – Looking back…
IntroductionRecently I presented “Coherent Interconnect Technology Supports Exponential Data Flow Growth” at the Linley Processor conference in Santa Clara, CA where I announced a new ARM coherent interconnect…
IntroductionSmartphone and tablets are on the rise the increasing performance and convenience of these devices is definitely showing impact on the traditional PC market. Tablet sales will surge 53.4%,…
Memories are increasingly occupying more area in today’s SoCs. So, it is imperative to have an early estimate of the total power consumed by the memories. Memory power consumption can be divided into two…
A question that I am asked many times is – what is the fundamental difference between the high efficiency, mid range and the high performance application processors in the ARM Cortex family? The simple…
1 - Fast adoption
The Cortex-M0+ processor was announced in March 2012, with two lead partners, namelyFreescale and NXP, who went public with their plans to release MCUs based on this new processor. These…
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) for the ARM® Cortex®-A9 processor, ported from the Keil® RTX RTOS for Cortex-M series of processors. In this blog, I’d…

big.LITTLE 技术进步实现节电和节能
提升高性能移动平台的能效
ARM 公司 Brian Jeff,2012 年 9 月
ARM® big.LITTLE™ 处理是一种将高性能 CPU 和节能型 CPU 组合在一起,并且可以保证缓存一致性的节能方式,根据性能需求将软件执行动态转移到适当的 CPU 上。big.LITTLE 处理技术于 2011 年首次引入,ARM 现已测试了运用…
This is the third of three blogs I've written around the announcement of the new ARMv8-R architecture for real-time embedded processors. Simon Craske, our Embedded Processor Architect, and myself will…
Abstract
The complex task of selecting which processor core to license can be simplified by using a standard check list approach to evaluate all relevant criteria. This white paper goes through such a…
