Arm Architecture: Applications
built 657 days ago
The new ARM Cortex processor family is aligned with the ARMv7 architecture profiles and will include processors for complex OS, real-time, and microcontroller applications. The ARM Cortex-A series is designed for demanding consumer entertainment and wireless products running operating systems such as Linux, Windows CE, and Symbian OS. The ARM Cortex-R series addresses the needs of systems running real-time operating systems for control applications including automotive, networking, and imaging. The ARM Cortex-M series is designed to meet the increasing performance requirements of extremely cost-sensitive embedded applications such as microcontrollers, automotive body systems, and white goods. The first member of the ARM Cortex-M series, the ARM Cortex-M3 processor, was announced at the ARM Developers’ Conference in October 2004.

VFP technology is a coprocessor extension to the ARM architecture. It provides low-cost single-precision and double-precision floating-point computation fully compliant with the ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985 Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic. VFP provides floating-point computation suitable for a wide spectrum of applications such as PDAs, smartphones, voice compression and decompression, three-dimensional graphics and digital audio, printers, set-top boxes, and automotive applications. The VFP architecture ... supports execution of short vector instructions allowing SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) parallelism. This is useful in graphics and signal-processing applications by reducing code size and increasing throughput.

The new ARMv7 architecture builds upon the success of the ARMv6 architecture, implemented in the award winning ARM11™ processor family. All ARMv7 architecture profiles implement Thumb®-2 technology which is built on the foundation of the ARM industry-leading Thumb code compression technology, while retaining complete code compatibility with existing ARM solutions. Thumb-2 technology uses 31 percent less memory than pure 32-bit code to reduce system cost, while at the same time delivering up to 38 percent better performance than existing Thumb technology-based solutions. The ARMv7 architecture ... includes the NEON technology extensions to increase DSP and media processing throughput by up to 400 percent, and offers improved floating-point support to address the needs of next- generation 3D graphics and games physics, as well as traditional embedded control applications. The ARMv7 architecture also features improved execution environment support to match the increasing use of JIT and DAC technology.
