    ASSIGNMENT NO.2
    Analysis of ARM Processor architecture:

    Answer:
    An Arm processor is one of a family of central processing units (CPUs) based on the reduced
    instruction set computer (RISC) architecture for computer processors. Arm Limited, the
    company behind the Arm processor, designs the core CPU components and licenses
    the intellectual property to partner organizations, which then build Arm-based chips according
    to their own requirements. Arm Limited does not manufacture or sell any chips directly.
    Acorn Computers first developed the Arm processor in the 1980s. Until recently, the
    name Arm was treated as an acronym, ARM, which at first stood for Acorn RISC Machine and
    then for Advanced RISC Machine. The acronym is still widely used, although Arm Limited uses
    only Arm when describing its processor technology.
    Arm Limited offers designs for both 32-bit and 64-bit RISC multicore processor. The processors
    use a much simpler instruction set than their Intel counterparts, which are based on the
    complex instruction set computing (CISC) architecture. The two types of processors also employ
    different methods to optimize performance and increase efficiency. For example, Intel takes a
    hardware approach to maximizing performance, whereas Arm takes a software approach.
    Arm processors can execute many more million per second instruction set than Intel
    processors. By stripping out unneeded instructions and optimizing pathways, an Arm processor
    can deliver outstanding performance while using much less energy than a CISC-based
    processor. The reduction in power also means that Arm CPUs generate less heat. That's not to
    say Arm processors are inherently better than Intel processors, only that they're better suited
    to specific use cases.
    Arm processors are used extensively in consumer electronic devices such as smartphones,
    tablets, wearables and other mobile devices. They're also used in a wide range of sensors
    and IoT. According to Arm Limited, the company's partners have shipped more than 215 billion
    Arm-based chips over the past three decades.
    What are Arm processor features?
    Because of their reduced instruction set, Arm processors require fewer transistors, resulting in
    a smaller die size for the IC. Their smaller size, reduced complexity and lower power
    consumption make them suitable for increasingly miniaturized devices.
    Arm processor features include the following:
    load/store architecture
    integrated security
    orthogonal instruction set
    single-cycle execution
    energy efficiency
    64- and 32-bit execution states
    Hardware visualization support

    The simplified design of Arm processors offers more efficient multicore processing and easier coding for
    developers. While they don't offer the same raw compute throughput as Intel CPUs, Arm processors
    sometimes exceed the performance of Intel processors for applications that exist on both architectures .

    In comparison, an Arm server might use hundreds of smaller, less sophisticated, low-power processors
    that share processing tasks instead of relying on just a few higher-capacity processors. This approach is
    sometimes referred to as scaling out, in contrast to scaling up the x86-based processors. However,
    even when scaled out, the processors consume less energy and generate less heat than the x86 servers,
    making them a potential solution for helping to address future energy concerns.
