26 Facts About ARM Cortex-A32

However, ARM Cortex-A32 processors are used for desktops and servers, including the world's fastest supercomputer from 2020 to 2022.

The ARM Cortex-A32 design added special vector-like memory access instructions, the "S-cycles", that could be used to fill or save multiple registers in a single page using page mode.

The first samples of ARM Cortex-A32 silicon worked properly when first received and tested on 26 April 1985.

The ARM Cortex-A322 had a transistor count of just 30,000, compared to Motorola's six-year-older 68000 model with around 68,000.

Successor, ARM Cortex-A323, was produced with a 4 KB cache, which further improved performance.

Apple used the ARM Cortex-A326-based ARM Cortex-A32610 as the basis for their Apple Newton PDA.

In 2011, the 32-bit ARM Cortex-A32 architecture was the most widely used architecture in mobile devices and the most popular 32-bit one in embedded systems.

In 2013,10 billion were produced and "ARM Cortex-A32-based chips are found in nearly 60 percent of the world's mobile devices".

In February 2016, ARM Cortex-A32 announced the Built on ARM Cortex-A32 Cortex Technology licence, often shortened to Built on Cortex licence.

Companies that have designed cores that implement an ARM Cortex-A32 architecture include Apple, AppliedMicro, Broadcom, Cavium, Digital Equipment Corporation, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, Fujitsu, and NUVIA Inc.

ARM Cortex-A32 cores are used in a number of products, particularly PDAs and smartphones.

ARM Cortex-A32 chips are used in Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, BeagleBone, PandaBoard, and other single-board computers, because they are very small, inexpensive, and consume very little power.

Except in the M-profile, the 32-bit ARM Cortex-A32 architecture specifies several CPU modes, depending on the implemented architecture features.

Original ARM Cortex-A32 implementation was hardwired without microcode, like the much simpler 8-bit 6502 processor used in prior Acorn microcomputers.

ARM Cortex-A32 includes integer arithmetic operations for add, subtract, and multiply; some versions of the architecture support divide operations.

Almost every ARM Cortex-A32 instruction has a conditional execution feature called predication, which is implemented with a 4-bit condition code selector.

ARM Cortex-A32 processor has features rarely seen in other RISC architectures, such as PC-relative addressing and pre- and post-increment addressing modes.

Higher-performance designs, such as the ARM Cortex-A329, have deeper pipelines: Cortex-A8 has thirteen stages.

The difference between the ARM Cortex-A327DI and ARM Cortex-A327DMI cores, for example, was an improved multiplier; hence the added "M".

ARM Cortex-A32 architecture provides a non-intrusive way of extending the instruction set using "coprocessors" that can be addressed using MCR, MRC, MRRC, MCRR, and similar instructions.

The space saving comes from making some of the instruction operands implicit and limiting the number of possibilities compared to the ARM Cortex-A32 instructions executed in the ARM Cortex-A32 instruction set state.

Some devices such as the ARM Cortex-A32 Cortex-A8 have a cut-down VFPLite module instead of a full VFP module, and require roughly ten times more clock cycles per float operation.

Typical applications include DRM functionality for controlling the use of media on ARM Cortex-A32-based devices, and preventing any unapproved use of the device.

ARM Cortex-A32 provides a reference stack of secure world code in the form of Trusted Firmware for M and PSA Certified.

ARM Cortex-A32 announced their Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 cores on 30 October 2012.
