Global Big Data Conference

Arm DevSummit was one of several virtual tech conferences and launch events taking place over the past month week and it included everything from a fireside chat with the CEOs of Arm and Nvidia about the proposed acquisition to new technology announcements and the deep dive training tracks one would expect. One of the most interesting announcements was around a new platform of cores for SoCs specifically targeting autonomous machines. While there is a growing focus on autonomous vehicles, few companies look at the broader opportunity for autonomous control across a wide variety of platforms that include autonomous systems for materials handling and production for everything from consumer products to agriculture. Arm announced a complete platform that can span a wide range of applications that meet the safety critical requirements of autonomous systems. As Arm expanded its technology offerings in mobile, it began releasing a complete platform of compute cores and related technologies together as a single platform.
