The building blocks of the digital universe.
Arm's specialized processors, interconnects, software, and other technology can be combined to create SoCs that achieve specific performance requirements or multiple KPIs all at once.
We have also created a wide portfolio of tools, libraries, and physical IP to help our customers implement their ideas.
Additionally, we collaborate with foundries, tools vendors, and others to help improve yields, ensure compatibility, and reduce costs. For example, Arm is moving EDA verification to Arm-based servers in the cloud to reduce the time and cost of processor development.
Arm’s Total Compute strategy introduces a holistic approach to SoC and system design. Rather than start with a slate of technical goals, Total Compute encourages designers to focus on use cases and identify how different IP blocks, software, and other technology can interact to deliver optimal performance and diverse experiences.
The result is a superior experience with extensive compatibility and high levels of security in everything from smart devices to supercomputers.
The three principles of Total Compute—greater performance, in-depth security, and better access for software developers—can help unleash the creativity of engineers and developers and pave the way for new, immersive experiences.
Synergy for SoCs: The block diagram of an Armv9-based Total Compute SoC combines:
Arm Cortex-X2 for 30% improved burst performance on games and intensive apps,
Arm Cortex-A710 for 30% improved sustained performance,
Mali-G710 for 20% improved graphics,
Arm Cortex-A510 for 35% improved performance on management tasks, while delivering 15% improved system power performance.
Arm believes security is an inherent principle of design. Our innovations include:
TrustZone Found in billions of devices, TrustZone creates hardware-enforced, isolated zones inside CPUs for securing payment systems, content, sensitive code, and data.
SecurCore High security for embedded applications and smart cards. Tens of billions of devices contain SecurCore.
State Hackers, Supply Chains, and Computing as a Utility: Arm's Simon Segars and Microsoft President Brad Smith discuss the security challenges of the future.
Creating IP is not enough to ensure success. We dedicate considerable time and effort to developing software, tools, firmware, and other technologies to ensure that the world's software runs on Arm, and runs superbly.8
Nearly half of Arm’s engineering staff is dedicated to software, development, tools, and support.
We collaborate with Unity, for example, to optimize the performance and improve the frame rate of games developed on its games engine. Likewise, we are working with Microsoft to streamline the process for developing AI applications for IoT.9 We have also established strong relationships with the cloud native and enterprise communities to ensure Arm becomes an even more robust option for businesses.
