The Vector Floating Point (VFP) architecture is a co-processor extension to the ARM architecture. It provides single (Version 1, or VFPv1) and double (variant D, VFPv1D) precision floating point arithmentic, as defined by ANSI/IEEE 754-1985 IEEE Standard for Binary Floating Point Arithmetic.

ARM is one of the leading architectures in the growing market of NCs: Wyse Technology's ARM-based Winterm4000 Enhanced Network Computer (ENC) won BYTE Magazine's Best of COMDEX award for Best System. Additional ARM-based NCs and Internet appliances include the Acorn Office NC, the AlphaVision Kisun Internet Terminal, the Boundless Technology NC, the Daewoo/Teknema Internet TV set-top box, the Oracle NC, the Teknema EasyRider and the Viewcall Netsurfer.
