ARM Cortex Designs

Today many embedded applications like smart phones, set-top boxes, digital television, digital cameras etc. are built around ARM Cortex Designs due to their performance, cost-effectiveness and low-power consumption capabilities. Popularly known as big.Little architecture based designs, ARM architectures are heterogeneous multi processing systems that use more than one processor or cores.

ARM Processor Applications use heterogeneous multi processing developed by ARM; coupling big.little design i.e., relatively battery-saving and slower processor cores (LITTLE) with relatively more powerful and power-hungry ones (big). ARM Cortex Designs use  Heterogeneous multi processing to gain performance and energy efficiency by adding same/different type of processors, to incorporate specialized processing capabilities to handle particular tasks.

Mistral has extensive expertise in ARM Cortex Designs for ARM processor applications based on cores like Cortex A8, A9, A15, ARM7, ARM9, ARM Cortex A and big.Little design providing innovative solutions based on these processors. ARM Cortex processors and SoCs are at the heart of the most powerful and compelling technology products out in the market today, offering heterogeneous multi processing capability alongside low power consumption.
