ARM (stylised in lowercase as arm, formerly an acronym for Advanced RISC Machines and originally Acorn RISC Machine) is a family of RISC instruction set architectures (ISAs) for computer processors. Arm Ltd. develops the ISAs and licenses them to other companies, who build the physical devices that use the instruction set.

The Arm Architecture is continually evolving, and this blog gives a high-level overview of some of the changes made in Armv8.4-A*. We develop these changes by listening to the Arm Ecosystem and working with them to provide new functionality that benefits everyone. These are incremental changes to the architecture and do not introduce any significan...
In architecture versions Armv8.3-A and earlier, there are four exception levels (EL0-3) which may exist in different security states, as shown in this diagram: Notable in this diagram is that EL2 only provides services to Non-Secure State, and that there is no EL2 in Secure State. Feedback from the Arm ecosystem demonstrates that there are multiple...
Armv8.4-A adds support for more cryptographic hashing algorithms, including SHA2-512, SHA3, and the Chinese Standards SM3, and SM4. This provides acceleration for more hashing algorithms than those available in earlier versions of Armv8-A.
When using any system, it is useful to be able to monitor what its performance is like. The Arm Architecture has long had a Performance Monitoring Unit that allows you to make specific measurements, much like you would use a multi-meter to measure what is happening in precise areas of an electric circuit. In Armv8.4-A, we add support for Activity M...
Armv8-A has continually improved its support for virtualization and, in v8.4-A we add further improvements. One is an incremental improvement to how we handle nested-virtualization (that is running a Virtual Machine within a Virtual Machine), which provides significant performance benefits when the guests are not using para-virtualization. We belie...
Armv8.4-A adds a feature called Memory Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM). This has several uses. One use case is enabling hypervisors to monitor and control how virtual machines are using the memory of a system and communicating with other system components. This means that the hypervisor can limit the memory system performance impact of one virtu...
This provides a short overview of some of the key features added to the Arm Architecture in Armv8.4-A. More information will be forthcoming over the next six months, as new versions of the Arm ARM and XML are released. These new features add further support to Arm's recent Security Manifesto, launched at Arm TechCon in October 2017. * The case of t...

All chips of this type have a floating-point unit (FPU) that is better than the one in older ARMv7-A and NEON ( SIMD) chips. Some of these chips have coprocessors also include cores from the older 32-bit architecture (ARMv7). Some of the chips are SoCs and can combine both ARM Cortex-A53 and ARM Cortex-A57, such as the Samsung Exynos 7 Octa.
List of ARM processors. This is a list of central processing units based on the ARM family of instruction sets designed by ARM Ltd. and third parties, sorted by version of the ARM instruction set, release and name. In 2005, ARM provided a summary of the numerous vendors who implement ARM cores in their design. [1]
The Arm architecture is a family of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architectures for computer processors. It is the most pervasive processor architecture in the world, with more than 280 billion Arm-based chips shipped by our partners over the past three decades in products ranging from sensors, wearables and smartphones to supercomputers.
Apr 27, 2023 · The Cortex-A55 was primarily designed to make use of TSMC's 16 nm process with a 7 nm optimized version set for the end of 2017 or early 2018. Architecture . The Cortex-A55 is an improved version of the A53 which introduces a number of performance enhancements as well as designed to be implemented based on ARM's DynamIQ big.LITTLE design.
The Arm architecture is the keystone of the world’s largest compute ecosystem. It enables our partners to build their products in an efficient, affordable, and secure way. Arm’s proven track record of delivering world-class architecture designs is reflected in the success of this diverse and ever-evolving ecosystem.
