Some 32-bit processors can perform SIMD (single-instruction, multiple-data) arithmetic operations that act on multiple 8-bit data at the same time. For 8-bit designs to support the expanding ...

Can developers utilize a 32-bit architecture with a clear upgrade path even when low power and compact size are high on the list of requirements? Arm Ltd. attempts to answer that question with its ...

STMicroelectronics has announced that it is now sampling the ST22FJ1M, an advanced 32-bit smart card processor with 1Mbyte of embedded Flash memory, to key customers. The exceptionally high memory ...

Operating systems (OS) are the intermediary between computer hardware and software, an essential piece of any digital device. Much like an orchestra conductor, they ensure harmonious communication ...

Will Strauss, president of Forward Concepts, said Freescale's move is part of a larger trend among microcontroller and DSP vendors to protect investments in software development by offering compatible ...

Co-developed by Actel and ARM, the Cortex-M1 32-bit, soft-core processor is designed for use with Actel's flash-based, M1-enabled Fusion and ProASIC3 FPGAs. Removing the license and royalty fees, ...

Im thinking of whether it be worth waiting for the Hammer CPU for my next upgrade.<BR>One thing i would like to know about the next gen 64 bit CPU's like the Hammer:-<P>When the 64 bit CPU is running ...

If you have never heard of the Bellmac-32, you aren’t alone. But it is a good bet that most, if not all, of the CPUs in your devices today use technology pioneered by this early 32-bit CPU. The chip ...

32-bit processors and operating systems, in theory, can access up to 4GB of memory. So how come Qasim Zaib’s PC, with 4GB installed, only sees 3GB? Every byte of RAM requires its own address, and the ...

Wearable electronics, like watches and fitness trackers, represent the next logical step in computing. They’ve sparked an interest in the development of flexible electronics, which could expand the ...

Linux got its start in the 1990s as an alternative operating system for older PCs that didn’t have the horsepower to run newer versions of Windows. So it seems a bit ironic, but not totally surprising ...
