Big.Little

ARM has pulled together a number of forthcoming changes to its Cortex processor and Big-Little cluster architectures under the umbrella title DynamIQ, claiming they will support the increasing use of AI algorithms in servers and embedded control.

ARM has developed a version of its CoreLink on-chip interconnect IP intended to support systems based on its big.Little processors combinations that need a cache-coherent GPU connection with lower latency and higher peak throughput.

ARM has launched a 64bit processor core aimed at high-end mobile phones, coupled to a new graphics processor and cache-coherent interconnect.

A multiprocessor test chip has led ARM to improve the energy-control strategy for its Big.Little architecture and to simplify the debug architecture for the company's multicore processor IP.
