The ARM processor is based on the RISC architecture and was developed by Acorn Computers in the 1980s. It uses fewer instructions which allows it to operate at higher speeds, perform more millions of instructions per second, reduce power demand, and require less hardware. Additional features of the ARM processor include a load/store architecture, orthogonal instruction set, single-cycle execution, enhanced power-saving design, 64 and 32-bit execution states, hardware virtualization support, and enabling more efficient multi-core processing.

Topic – 5 ARM Processor M. R. Arun About ARM Processor
Processor based on the RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture
Abbreviation : Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) Performs 32-bit and 64-bit computations or process ARM architecture was originally developed by Acorn Computers in the 1980s. Designed using less number of instructions Benefits 1. operate at a higher speed 2. performing more millions of instructions per second 3. Reduced power demand 4. requires less hardware (transistors), so size reduces In addition ARM processor features Load/store architecture. An orthogonal instruction set. Mostly single-cycle execution. Enhanced power-saving design. 64 and 32-bit execution states for scalable high performance. Hardware virtualization support. enables more efficient multi-core processing easier coding for developers. Debugging and Error correction options Upgradable, Supporting Intelligent technologies
