TSMC Honors ARM with Partner Award for Fifth Consecutive Year
03 November
2014
What: ARM has been honored with the Partner Award from TSMC for the fifth consecutive year in recognition of outstanding
partner performance. ARM received the award during the recent 2014 TSMC Open Innovation Platform® Ecosystem Forum for its
foundation intellectual property (IP), including ARM® Artisan® physical IP, standard cells, input/output (I/O), and other
fundamental building blocks for system-on-chip (SoC) design.
Why: The award is based upon customer feedback, TSMC9000 compliance, general support, number of tape outs and number of wafers shipped. ARM and TSMC continue their collaboration to ensure customers achieve volume production of SoCs in advanced silicon process nodes for mobile, enterprise and Internet of Things applications that demand high-performance and energy-efficient designs.
Having successfully scaled from 20SoC to 16FinFET, ARM and TSMC recently announced that they will collaborate again for 10FinFET. This early pathfinding work will provide valuable learning to enable physical design IP and methodologies in support of customers to tape-out 10FinFET designs as early as Q4 2015.

ARM HPC Ecosystem Continues to Build Momentum with Introduction of PathScale EKOPath Compiler
17 November
2014
Cambridge, UK, 17 November, 2014 - ARM ecosystem partner PathScale today announced the upcoming availability of its EKOPath
Compiler for ARM®-based servers in high-performance computing (HPC) applications. EKOPath compiler supports SIMD and AES instructions
in addition to C99, C++ 2003, C++11, Fortran 90/95, and partial support for Fortran 2003 and 2008. The BLAS libraries have also
been ported and optimized for the ARMv8-A architecture to provide developers with the framework to create ARM-based solutions
for HPC applications.
"ARM is committed to helping its silicon partners address the HPC market opportunity," said Lakshmi Mandyam, director, server systems and ecosystems, ARM. "The availability of PathScale's EKOPath Compiler underscores the continued growth of ARM's HPC ecosystem and the demand for ARM-based servers from within the HPC community. This announcement enables our partners to accelerate the deployment of the ARM-powered solutions in the HPC world."
The alpha version of the compiler and libraries will be available for customer evaluation in December 2014.
"We are pleased to provide the ARM HPC ecosystem with our new EKOPath compiler," said Christopher Bergstrom, chief technology officer, PathScale. "Our C/Fortran compiler and BLAS libraries optimized for the ARMv8-A architecture will help increase the pace of innovation for ARM partners working in HPC applications."
ARM's HPC ecosystem partners will be exhibiting, speaking and demonstrating their latest ARM-based technology in ARM booth #3458 at the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC14) November 17-20, 2014, in New Orleans, LA.
