gy, enabling performance scalability and control over power consumption to exceed the performance of today's comparable high-performance devices while remaining within tight mobile power constraints. Multicore processing provides the ability for any of the four component processors, within a cluster, to shut down when not in use, for instance when the device is in standby mode, to save power. When higher performance is required, every processor is in use to meet the demand while still sharing the workload to keep power consumption as low as possible.

Snoop Control Unit

The SCU is responsible for managing the interconnect, arbitration, communication, cache-2-cache and system memory transfers, cache coherence and other capabilities for the processor. The Cortex-A53 MPCore processor also exposes these capabilities to other system accelerators and non-cached DMA driven peripherals to increase performance and reduce system wide power consumption. This system coherence also reduces software complexity involved maintaining software coherence within each OS driver.

Accelerator Coherence Port

This AMBA 4 AXI compatible slave interface on the SCU provides an interconnect point for masters that are better interfaced directly with the Cortex-A53 processor. This interface supports all standard read and write transactions without additional coherence requirements. However, any read transactions to a coherent region of memory will interact with the SCU to test whether the information is already stored in the L1 caches. The SCU will enforce write coherence before the write is forwarded to the memory system and may allocate into the L2 cache, removing the power and performance impact of writing directly to off chip memory

Generic Interrupt Controller

Implementing the standardized and architected interrupt controller, the GIC provides a rich and flexible approach to inter-processor communication and the routing and prioritization of system interrupts. Under software control, each interrupt can be distributed across CPU, hardware prioritized, and routed between the operating system and TrustZone software management layer. This routing flexibility and the support for virtualization of interrupts into the operating system, provides one of the key features required to enhance the capabilities of a solution utilizing a hypervisor.

The Cortex-A53 MPCore processor incorporates a broad range of ARM technology including System IP, Physical IP, and development tools that also provide support. A broad range of SoC and software design solutions, tools and services from the ARM Connected Community compliment this technology. That provides ARM Partners with a smooth path through the development, verification and production of full function, compelling devices while significantly reducing time-to-market.

系统 IP

The ARM interconnect and memory controller IP addresses the critical challenge of efficiently moving and storing data between up to 16 Cortex-A50 MPCore processors, high performance media processors and dynamic memories to optimize the system performance and power consumption of the SoC. The CoreLink system IP enables SoC designers to maximize the utilization of system memory bandwidth and reduce static and dynamic latencies. While the ARM CoreSight technology provides co
