Applications of Computing in Industry : Lecture

The ARM processor architecture is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architecture. It provides support for the 32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) along with extensions to provide support for Java acceleration (Jazelle), security (TrustZone), SIMD and NEON technologies. High performance, low power consumption, and small code size are the key characteristics of the ARM architecture. This talk will briefly introduce the ARM technologies and the development tools.
