CAMBRIDGE, England, October 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- RealView Development Suite 4.0 Professional Enables Developers to
Realize the Full Potential of Their ARM Processor-Based Devices, Including
the Cortex-A9 MPCore Multicore Processor
ARM ((LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMH)) today announced the RealView(R)
Development Suite 4.0 Professional tool suite at the fifth annual ARM(R)
Developers' Conference in Santa Clara, Calif. A host of new benefits combine
in the RealView Development Suite 4.0 Professional, including new compilation
techniques to achieve up to 10 percent processor performance improvement and
enhanced system profiling for more precise analysis of software execution and
system performance. Developed with complex, application-rich systems in mind
- particularly mobile devices such as mobile internet devices and smartphones
- RealView Development Suite 4.0 Professional enables developers to push the
limits of functionality and get the very best out of the ARM architecture,
including the latest ARM Cortex(TM)-M3, Cortex-R4, CortexA8 and Cortex-A9
processors and the Cortex-A9 MPCore(TM) multicore processor.
'Stunningly complex devices such as today's fully-featured smartphones
have generated a demand for similar gadgets and applications that offer a new
level of connectivity and user experience. In order to create these
next-generation devices, powerful software tools are essential,' said Rich
Wawrzyniak, senior analyst, Semico Research Corporation. 'By continuing to
introduce new features to its tool suite, ARM is ensuring that developers get
the very best out of its architecture and are able to develop rich
applications that will enhance the end-user experience.'
Among the key benefits included in RealView Development Suite 4.0
Professional are link-time code generation and profiler-driven compilation.
Link-time code generation significantly reduces code size, and designers gain
the option to either increase system functionality with no additional memory
requirement, or lower overall system cost. Profiler-driven compilation
enables code to be optimized based on actual use, which significantly
improves software performance and responsiveness of applications on ARM
processors.
The tool suite also features a new version of the ARM Profiler.
