Overview
Cortex-A78AE is the highest performance Cortex-A processor designed for devices undertaking complex and demanding safety-critical tasks. The Split-Lock capability with second-generation Dual Core Lock-Step (DCLS) enables flexible operations at the highest levels of safety. With the ability to run different workloads concurrently and a 30 percent performance uplift compared to its predecessor, Cortex-A78AE offers the scalable, efficient, heterogeneous compute required for automated driving and autonomous industrial systems.
Key features
- Highest Sustained Performance
- The Cortex-A78AE features an advanced energy-efficient microarchitecture designed for performance density to deliver highest peak and sustained single-thread performance in thermally constrained fanless designs.
- Scalable, Heterogeneous Compute
- Options for multicore, multi-cluster, accelerator ports and heterogenous compute configurations offer the ability to run different workloads or application footprints, allowing the deployment of the same SoC compute architecture into different domain controllers.
- Flexibility with Split-Lock
- Switch between split mode for highest cluster-level performance, lock mode for advanced multicore fault-tolerance with ASIL D/SIL 3 hardware metrics, or hybrid mode to deliver higher compute availability to help achieve ASIL B/SIL 2 safety requirements.
