big.LITTLE is a heterogeneous processing architecture that uses two types of processor.
ARM Technologies
-
-
NEON is a SIMD architecture extension for the ARM Cortex-A series and Cortex-R52 processors.
-
ARM’s low-power Cortex processors address a wide range of signal processing applications.
-
ARM Mali Technologies have been developed to allow increasingly more complex graphics within the power capacity and thermal limit of mobile devices. All formats provide significant system-wide bandwidth reductions to ensure that end-users are able to experience the latest in graphics quality on any device. Mali Technologies include Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression (ASTC), ARM Frame Buffer Compression (AFBC), Transaction Elimination (TE) and Smart Composition.
-
The Compute Library is a collection of low-level functions optimized for ARM CPU and GPU architectures targeted at image processing, computer vision, and machine learning. It is available free of charge under a permissive MIT open source license.
-
The ARM® architecture provides high-performance and high-efficiency hardware support for floating-point operations in half-, single-, and double-precision arithmetic. It is fully IEEE-754 compliant with full software library support. This page describes floating-support relative to Cortex®-A and Cortex-R processors. For information relative to Cortex-M, please refer to our DSP for Cortex-M page.
