Powerful Real-time Processor for Smart Storage Applications
Highest-performance Cortex-R processor with memory management unit (MMU), enabling real-time and rich operating systems (OS), such as Linux, on the same core or cluster. As the first Arm 64-bit Cortex-R processor, the Cortex-R82 can address up to 1TB of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for efficient, high-performance compute. Ideal for solid-state drives (SSDs), hard-disk drives (HDDs) and built-in storage solutions, as well as computational storage applications.
Features and Benefits
The 64-bit R-profile architecture provides access to the larger memory capacities required to support increasing storage drive capacities.
MMU supports rich operating systems, such as Linux, leveraging a trusted and robust ecosystem for frictionless, low-cost development.
Arm Neon technology can be integrated to accelerate deployment of ML workloads and compute-intensive tasks.
