High-Performance Hardware Support for Floating-Point Operations
The Arm architecture provides high-performance and high-efficiency hardware support for floating point operations in half, single, and double-precision arithmetic. The floating point data type is essential for a wide range of digital signal processing (DSP) applications. Many applications inherently benefit from the dynamic range and precision of floating point to deal with large data sets or data sets with unpredictable range.
Floating point usage is particularly suitable when computational accuracy is a critical requirement.
The Arm Floating Point is fully IEEE-754 compliant with support from a full software library.
With any complex software system it is critical to understand the interworking of different modules and the capabilities of the underlying hardware. If you have any questions about software on Arm-based processors, talk to an Arm expert.
Arm Development Studio
An end-to-end software development environment for all Arm-based systems, including Arm Compiler, debuggers, IDEs, performance analysis tools, models and middleware.
Arm-based chips, device architectures, and technologies orchestrate the performance of everything that makes modern life possible — from smartphones to agricultural sensors and from medical instruments to servers.
DSP for Cortex-M Processor Series
The DSP instructions and the optional floating-point unit improve the performance of numerical algorithms and enable signal processing operations directly on the Cortex-M4, Cortex-M33, and Cortex-M7 processors, while maintaining the ease of use of the Cortex-M programmer’s model.
