The 2012 ARM powered compute subsystem - delivering the smart handheld platform

Driven by increased complexity, cost and shorter time to market, subsystem re-use is now adopted by most of the major semiconductor companies. This presentation will show a “2012 Compute Subsystem” for application processors targeting low power, screen based devices such as smartphones, and tablets, giving a detailed breakdown of the key hardware and software technology employed. The presentation will outline the development decisions made for the 2012 compute subsystem using Cortex-A15 and Mali-600 processors.
