Technologies

There are a common set of industry-leading technologies found across the entire range of ARM processors, including:

• The powerful ARM, Thumb^® and Thumb-2 instruction sets
• DSP and SIMD extensions 
• NEON™ advanced SIMD instructions for efficient multimedia processing
• IEEE 754-compliant hardware floating point support (VFP)
• Hardware-accelerated Java support (Jazelle^®)
• TrustZone^® security extensions

In addition a range of Reference Methodologies for ARM processors is available. Reference Methodologies deliver a known level of performance, power efficiency and area for the processors based on specific EDA tools vendors and process geometries.
