Optimizing Linux and Android applications for ARM 

Optimizing Linux and Android applications can be a challenging experience. Using a popular FIR filter example implemented in three different forms, we will discuss the pros and cons of coding Android multimedia apps using Java and how this type of software can be significantly accelerated using C/C++ native code and the ARM® NEON SIMD engine. We will also be demonstrating how ARM Streamline can be used to make the software optimization workflow simpler and more efficient by identifying hotspots, parallelization issues and other system-wide events that can negatively impact your app´s performance.
At the end of this webinar, you will be able understand important performance aspects related to Android application design, as well as the benefits of using professional tools to optimize Linux and Android software.

How easy is it to design a new SoC around a Cortex-M processor? 

In this webinar, you will gain an understanding of the Cortex-M processor family and a new design kit product aimed to accelerate your system design and verification process with the Cortex-M processors. The talk will detail the ARM System solution, called the Cortex-M System Design Kit, which supports Cortex-M0, M3 and M4 and is designed to work out-of-box, configurable and optimized for the Cortex-M processors. This processor system design kit includes preconfigured example systems, comprehensive AHB and APB interconnect fabric components and baseline peripheral set, UART, timer, GPIO, watchdog timer that delivers a low latency, low power and area efficient solution for a variety of applications where the digital subsystem is not the main feature of the device, e.g. mixed-signal System-on-Chip.

By the end of this short webinar you will see the benefits of using ARM Cortex-M processors with the system design kit to achieve new levels of performance and reduced power consumption in your next chip design and get to silicon faster.
