Since the Cortex-M3 processor supports the Thumb-2 instruction set only, existing program code for ARM needs to be ported to the new architecture. Most C applications simply need to be recompiled using new compilers that support the Cortex-M3. Some assembler codes need modification and porting t...
Advanced SIMD is implemented as part of an Arm-based processor, 但是它有自己的execution pipelines and register bank that is distinct from the general-purpose register bank. A32和A64中都可以用Advanced SIMD instructions, A64中的Advanced SIMD指令是基于A32中的。主要区别如下: Different instruction mnemon...
Some ARM processor versions allow conditional execution in Thumb by using the IT instruction. Conditional execution leads to higher code density because it reduces the number of instructions to be executed and reduces the number of expensive branch instructions. 32-bit ARM and Thumb instructions: 32...
Arm introduced its ARMv8 64-bit architecture in 2011. Rather than extend its 32-bit instruction set, Arm offers a clean 64-bit implementation. To accomplish this, the ARMv8 architecture uses two execution states, AArch32 and AArch64. As the names imply, one is for running 32-bit code a...
An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is part of the abstract model of a computer that defines how the CPU is controlled by the software. The ISA acts as an interface between the hardware and the software, specifying both what the processor is capable of

In subject area:Earth and Planetary Sciences An Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) processor is one of a family of central processing units (CPUs) based on the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture developed by ARM. From:Sensing and Monitoring Technologies for Mines and Hazardous Areas,20...
In the embedded domain, not only performance, but also memory and energy are important concerns. A dual instruction set ARM processor, which supports a reduced Thumb instruction set with a smaller instruction length in addition to a full instruction set, provides an opportunity for a flexible ...
Over the past few years, the ARM reduced-instruction-set computing (RISC) processor has evolved to offer a family of chips that range up to a full-blown multiprocessor. Embedded applications' demand for increasing levels of performance and the added efficiency of key new technologies has driven ...
There are three instruction sets: ARM, Thumb, and Jazelle. The ARM instruction set is only active when the processor is in ARM state. Similarly the Thumb instruction set is only active when the processor is in Thumb state. Once in Thumb state the processor is executing purely Thumb 16-bit...
