This year, we’re Kickin’ It Up in Austin and celebrating DAC’s 50^th show. Based on the flurry of calls and emails from Partners, Austin won’t just be renowned for blues and BBQ (video) by the end of the first week in June. ARM and its Partners once again plan to ...]]> Wed, 22 May 2013 20:34:59 +0000 http://blogs.arm.com/soc-design/964-kickin%e2%80%99-it-up-in-austin-at-dac%e2%80%99s-50th-with-arm-and-its-partners/ http://blogs.arm.com/soc-design/959-arm-cortex-a57-test-chip-on-tsmc-16nm-finfet-process-optimizes-tools-flows/ Cadence recently (April 4, 2013) announced the first implementation of an ARM® Cortex^TM-A57 processor on the TSMC 16nm FinFET manufacturing process. Here’s a closer look at this groundbreaking test chip project, which used a complete Cadence Encounter RTL-to-signof...]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 08:48:09 +0000 http://blogs.arm.com/soc-design/959-arm-cortex-a57-test-chip-on-tsmc-16nm-finfet-process-optimizes-tools-flows/ http://blogs.arm.com/soc-design/960-seven-tips-for-arm-accredited-engineer-exam-success/ new mock tests to help students prepare for the ARM Accredited Engineer (AAE) exam. I asked Chris Shore, ARM’s Training Manager, to suggest his top tips for students preparing for their big day. Here's what he came up with:

Farmers think and plan very carefully to invest in their future. A farmer who makes the wrong planting decision, waters incorrectly, or improperly manages his fields can lose a crop cycle. So a farmer must anticipate future trends in crop prices, weather patterns, seed availability...]]> Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:16:48 +0000 http://blogs.arm.com/soc-design/887-farming-for-2015-superphones-and-supertablets/
