Andrei, if you read these threads, it would be interesting to see an article on CHERI/Morello. In particular, an answer to the question: assuming that CHERI is proven to be correct, and made a part of Armv9, is this a key distinction between CISC and RISC? If it is, will this lead to the demise...

Arm vision day. Segars mentions the ubiquity of future Arm IP. From [1 trillion machines, by 2035, on] the periphery to the cloud and data centres, and all points in between, including edge computing. Grisenthwaite mentions: Armv8 has been the leading Arm standard for 10 years. Armv9 to be the...

The top three risks Intel faces seem to be: 1. TSMC have a superior production process. 2. AMD have superior micro-architectures for X86. 3. In the medium term, ARM's architecture may evolve to be an increasing threat to X86. Intel may end up like IBM, with a legacy role, and some...

Some references on ARM architecture, present and future: This is a series of videos on ARMv8 by Grisenthwaite, their chief architect, from 2011: Work began in 2007. This is a description of SVE: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.06185.pdf Further into the future, there is CHERI...

There is some ARM Mobile road-map information appearing from Devcon 2020. Apparently AArch32 will not be present in 'Makalu', which is due in 2022. Maybe Anandtech can glean more from the event.

That's a pity. They should increase production.

It seems that ARM have a Neoverse N1 SDP- 'segment development platform'. It is a board about 6 or 7 inches square. It looks like an extra large Raspberry Pi. It is available to partners. They give a sales office or you can contact them online...

Will Apple provide SVE in their ARM-based HEDT machines? Reading ARM's website, their targetted use of SVE seems to be HPC and data-centres, and the internet out to the edge, but not beyond. However, they do support running tools such as Forge on home computers, to develop SVE applications on...

I agree. When writing a new application to run on an SVE machine, I would want to experiment on a desktop first, to 'shape' the algorithm's design to take best advantage of SVE. There is no substitute for practice. It can then be ported to the cloud, for further tests. AS for Graviton2, it is...

Here are a couple of additional ARM charts: Up to 192 cores are mentioned, and CCIX linking sockets; I read mention of up to 4 sockets linked. Linus Torvalds is reported as saying that you need ARM-based desktop machines to develop applications for the ARM cloud. Maybe, but this is now...

Thinking about Nvidia buying ARM Ltd, I still cannot understand this. Softbank bought ARM on the basis of pouring capital in, and increasing the labour force in Cambridge. However, they are planning to retain part of ARM, so it is not clear how much is the net benefit to ARM Ltd of being owned...

My guess is that Arm Ltd will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Nvidia; it is a British company under Softbank ownership, but is registered at Companies House, Cardiff, UK. Arm Ltd was formerly Advanced Risc Machines, but changed its name to ARM Ltd. In my opinion, you do not buy a company...

FT.COM states that "Nvidia seals $40Billion deal for Softbank's Arm. Britain set to impose strict terms including protection of jobs and maintaining UK headquarters"

You can set up a rudimentary dark-mode viewer with a single line in Mathematica: Import["http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=threads/nvidia-has-approached- softbank-and-is-considering-buying-arm-holdings.2583290/page-2?view= date"] You can then adjust font, face, size and colour of text to taste. You...

ARM have stated explicitly that they expected unit production cost (UPC) for ARM based server SoCs to be in the range $50 -$200. Do you have any explicit statement from AMD or Intel on UPCs for their server SoCs? All that is presented above is a convoluted argument to substantiate some one's...
