When it comes to programming, most of us write code at a level of abstraction that could be for a computer from the 1960s. Input comes in, you process it, and you produce output. Sure, a call to strcpy might work better on a modern CPU than on an older one ...

Because ARM licenses its designs, multiple companies can integrate ARM technology into a single system-on-a-chip, or SoC. A modern smartphone SoC combines CPUs, graphics processors, AI accelerators, modems, and specialized controllers onto one piece of silicon, enabling faster communication and improved energy efficiency.

What does DHRUV64 mean for chip self-reliance, digital infrastructure, and the future of India’s semiconductor ecosystem?

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. Choosing processors can be a difficult task. There are so many good processors, but there is also a great deal of hype to sift through. It can be difficult to wade through the gristle and find the real meat.

If you ever develop an embedded system in a corporate environment, someone will probably tell you that you can only use 80% of the CPU or some other made-up number. The theory is that you will need some overhead for expansion. While that might have been a ...
