Applications of Computing in Industry : Lecture

The 3.7 release of the Linux kernel is the first to include support for the AArch64 execution state of ARM's new v8 architecture. This talk describes the work undertaken over the past few years during development of both the architecture and corresponding open-source tools, focusing primarily on the Linux kernel.

Will graduated from Imperial's MEng Computing course in 2009 before joining ARM, where he works primarily on their architecture ports of the Linux kernel. He enjoys working close to the metal and has an unhealthy obsession with obscure computer architectures and open-source software.
