ARM manufactures high-performance mobile computing chips. Of course, these processors cannot match the performance offered by x86 processors but there’s something that still make them attractive, more attractive than x86 processors for server farms.

ARM’s  CEO Warren East said that servers based on ARM multicore processors should arrive within the next twelve months. The current architecture, designed for client-side computing, can surprisingly be also used in server applications.

Though the implementations of ARM have traditionally been aimed at relatively low performance optimized for minimum power consumption, but, we are seeing higher speed, multicore implementations now pushing up to 2 GHz. ARM’s A9 .. Read Further »

The Original plan, still on track, was to make Mobile internet devices [MID] which are capable of doing everything a PC can do, on the move, in the pocket.

The Experiment started on lighter Notebooks, then started to be known as Netbooks. Luckily, the idea prevailed and sales grew in number, and finally found a space in market as  new niche segment.

Now that Netbooks are popular, every chip manufacturer wants to jump-in. We’ve seen Nvidia’s initiative with Nvidia Tegra, and of course large .. Read Further »

Talk with ARM directly! http://www.taranfx.com/android-exposes-native-development-kit-talk-with-arm-directly http://www.taranfx.com/android-exposes-native-development-kit-talk-with-arm-directly#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:34:42 +0000 admin http://www.taranfx.com/blog/?p=1277 There is always a performance hit when you make things run on a VM environment. Same is the case with Android OS. There will be significant performance Hit and limit is posed by the use of virtualization.

Android developers had to build their applications that used to run inside Dalvik, the JVM (Java virtual machine) upon which Google’s mobile android OS is built. No doubt, it is beneficial in embedded systems with limited processor power and RAM, it is limiting for developers who, for example, want to create CPU-intensive, but not Memory-intensive, applications such as more in-depth computations, simulations, or high multimedia signal processing.

Google has now announced release of a native development kit, which will enable developer’s reach the ARM directly. With NDK out, called Android Native Developers Kit, a companion to the SDK. It gives developers a way to use the ARMv5TE machine instruction set, such as popular libc, .. Read Further »
