  • Multiprocessing in Mobile Platforms: the Marketing and the Reality
    Multiprocessing in Mobile Platforms: the Marketing and the Reality Marco Cornero, Andreas Anyuru ST-Ericsson Introduction During the last few years the mobile platforms industry has aggressively introduced multiprocessing in response to the ever increasing performance demanded by the market. Given the highly competitive nature of the mobile industry, multiprocessing has been adopted as a marketing tool. This highly visible, differentiating feature is used to pass the oversimplified message that more processors mean better platforms and performance. The reality is much more complex, because several interdependent factors are at play in determining the efficiency of multiprocessing platforms (such as the effective impact on software performance, chip frequency, area and power consumption) with the number of processors impacting only partially the overall balance, and with contrasting effects linked to the underlying silicon technologies. In this article we illustrate and compare the main technological options available in multiprocessing for mobile platforms, highlighting the synergies between multiprocessing and the disruptive FD-SOI silicon technology used in the upcoming ST-Ericsson products. We will show that compared to personal computers (PCs), the performance of single-processors in mobile platforms is still growing and how, from a software performance perspective, it is more profitable today to focus on faster dual-core rather than slower quad-core processors. We will also demonstrate how FD-SOI benefits dual-core processors even more by providing higher frequency for the same power consumption, together with a wider range of energy efficient operating modes. All of this results in a simpler, cheaper and more effective solution than competing homogeneous and heterogeneous quad-processors.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

James Song +822-768-3722 [email protected] William Lee +822-768-4168 [email protected] Mobile revolution to bring about a paradigm shift The mobile revolution is now transitioning from its initial phase of creative innovation to one of evolution and growth. In 2012, the smart device market is projected to reach economies of scale by growing to 800mn units (twice the PC market). Samsung Electronics (SEC), having already overtaken Apple as the worldÊs top smartphone seller, is well positioned to leverage its strengths to continue its lead through this next phase. In light of the mid- to long-term growth of smart devices, the global application processor (AP) market is expected to display explosive growth in the coming years. Although global AP sales are forecast to come in at US$8bn in 2011, in contrast to CPU sales of US$40bn, we project the AP market to dramatically expand to US$38bn in 2015, surpassing the CPU market. This should provide enormous opportunities for SEC, which already controls over 50% of the global AP market. SEC has differentiated itself from its leading peers in the mobile market by achieving strong vertical integration. As such, the companyÊs AP, mobile DRAM, NAND, and AMOLED businesses will all grow in line with the growth of its smartphone business. In addition to overtaking Apple in the smartphone segment, SEC is likely to eclipse Intel in the semiconductor segment over the mid- to long-term.

  • ACORN RISC MACHINE Jitendra Marathe ARM Is a Reduced
    SRJIS / BIMONTHLY/JITENDRA MARATHE. (581-585) ACORN RISC MACHINE Jitendra Marathe ARM is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by ARM Holdings. It was named the Advanced RISC Machine and, before that, the Acorn RISC Machine. The ARM architecture is the most widely used 32-bit instruction set architecture in numbers produced. Originally conceived by Acorn Computers for use in its personal computers, the first ARM-based products were the co-processor modules for the BBC series of computers. Features and applications: In 2005 about 98% of the more than one billion mobile phones sold each year used at least one ARM processor. As of 2009 ARM processors accounted for approximately 90% of all embedded 32-bit RISC processors and were used extensively in consumer electronics, including personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablets, mobile phones, digital media and music players, hand-held game consoles, calculators and computer peripherals such as hard drives and routers. Licensees: The ARM architecture is licensable. Companies that are current or former ARM licensees include Alcatel-Lucent, Apple Inc., AppliedMicro, Atmel, Broadcom, Cirrus Logic, CSR_plc, Digital Equipment Corporation, Ember, Energy Micro, Freescale, Intel (through DEC), LG, Marvell Technology Group, Microsemi, Microsoft, NEC, Nintendo, Nuvoton, Nvidia, Sony, NXP (formerly Philips Semiconductor), Oki, ON Semiconductor, Psion, Qualcomm, Renesas, Samsung, Sharp, Silicon Labs, STMicroelectronics, Symbios Logic, Texas Instruments, VLSI Technology, Yamaha, Fuzhou Rockchip, and ZiiLABS. In addition to the abstract architecture, ARM offers several microprocessor core designs, including the ARM7, ARM9, ARM11, Cortex- A8, Cortex-A9, and Cortex-A15. Companies often license these designs from ARM to manufacture and integrate into their own system on a chip (SoC) with other components like RAM, GPUs, or radio basebands (for mobile phones).
