A new architecture for embedded chips that bumps up the power and precision systems used in a variety of products has now been announced by ARM. The ARMv8-R architecture, announced yesterday, will allow companies to manufacture embedded chips that are faster and more power-efficient, according to an official release. The company has said that the chips based on this new architecture will be able to automate more operations and handle more advanced communication features. The chips can be applied to a number of systems, including car brakes, medical devices and factory systems. ARM’s processors are used in most smartphones and tablets today. The company, in 2011, announced its first 64-bit architecture, ARMv8-A, which is the basis for the Apple A7 chip seen in the new iPads and the iPhone 5s. While the ARMv8-R architecture currently uses a 32-bit instruction set, it also includes many other new features of the ARMv8 architecture, according to an email sent from the company to PCWorld.

The company has said that processors with the new architecture will be suitable for a number of safety-related applications in automotive and industrial control. It has also introduced a new “bare metal” Hypervisor mode which will enable programmers to combine different operating systems, applications and real-time tasks on a single processor. This, according to ARM, will help with software consolidation and re-use to reduce development cost. The new architecture will also enable overall improvement in software quality and support sophisticated embedded programming techniques like model-based automated code generation. The new architecture will also improve performance in embedded systems to support automotive applications like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Vehicle to Vehicle communications. ARM did not comment on when chips based on this architecture will reach the market, but the company has said that it will be announced the new processors in the future. More details about this will be shared at ARM’s TechCon conference, which is going to be held from October 29 to 31.
