Overview
The Arm Mali-D77 is the second-generation premium display processor based on the Komeda display architecture. Advances in image quality, performance, and motion-to-photon latency delivers superior VR experiences for the end-user. Mali-D77 can be combined with Arm Mali GPUs for an optimal solution for VR workloads across multiple host devices, including all-in-one VR, smartphones, and set-top boxes.

AMBA 4 ACE adds system-level coherency support to the AMBA 4 specifications. By enabling cache coherency between the high- performance ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor and software-compatible high- efficiency Cortex-A7 MPCore processor it enables energy savings through heterogeneous multiprocessing, termed ‘big.LITTLE’ by ARM.
The drive to constrain product costs and power consumption places severe limits on system designers, particularly with external memory bandwidth. To increase performance, designers need to focus on efficient use of this system bandwidth. In turn, this drives the need for products to help with the analysis of the system dynamics and intelligent fabric architectures to manage the scarce resources. This article examines the role of Verification and Performance Exploration (VPE) and introduces the design objectives behind the advanced Quality-of-Service (QoS) mechanisms to optimize the performance that can be delivered by such systems.
