ARM Cortex-R82

2020: The announcement of ARM Cortex-R82 - the processor for data processing directly in DWH

At the beginning of September, 2020 the ARM company provided the first in the range 64-bit processor for data processing in the mode real time. The chip under name Cortex-R82 is intended in order that DWH not just stored information, and helped to process it, undertaking certain computing tasks and unloading primary servers.

About eight main cores can be a part of Cortex-R82. Developers say a double gain of performance of innovation in comparison with the previous model — R8. The increased possibilities of the controller allow to unroll in the drive the full-fledged Linux distribution kit together with applications.

The new chip will allow to start working applications, such as machine learning, with a smaller delay. Cortex-R82 is 64-bit, providing access up to 1 Tbyte operational for expanded data processing in applications of storage.

As explained in ARM, scenarios of application of local computing storage running Linux "open huge opportunities for various applications, including Internet of Things, machine learning and peripheral calculations". As well as in case of data processing on network edge, processing in local storage will reduce the cost and delays connected with sending data to a cloud at the same time ensuring the increased safety and confidentiality, it is specified in the press release.

In the same place it is reported that Cortex-R82 has compatibility with such security technologies as ARM TrustZone, "providing isolation of a firmware of the controller of storage from other Linux processes or workloads in real time". Chip also offers optional support of Neon technology which "considerably accelerates workloads of machine learning".^[1]
