![]() ![]() Under Softbank ownership Arm has been making large investments in growing Arm’s market position in IoT, automotive, and data center. Otherwise, it would destroy the value of the Arm business, right after paying $40 billion for it. Nvidia says it will keep Arm open and license all Arm technology as soon as it is available, which is Nvidia’s only rational choice. Nvidia’s focus on end solutions (chips, boards, and systems) will complement Arm’s IP and accelerate its push in new areas, such as the datacenter, while benefitting competing solutions from other Arm partners. The success of Arm in this market is dependent on licensees making appropriate investments and developing system-level innovations. So, for years, x86 has maintained its dominant position, notwithstanding predictions that Arm was poised for a breakthrough. ![]() Arm’s business model doesn’t provide the scale of the x86 competition nor does it allow for system level innovations that require other parts of the platform. As a result, Arm’s relative investment compared to the large x86 ecosystem players is relatively small. In markets such as datacenter, where IP beyond CPU cores are requirements for test chips, reference boards, reference systems and software elements, Arm is at a disadvantage. The companies who have benefited the most from Arm are those companies with strong platform businesses. This business model puts limits on the level of investment Arm can make in new markets. It makes investment decisions solely based on its pure IP licensing model. For example, Arm has limitations on developing or benefitting from platform solutions. But in fact, its status as a pure IP player - with no silicon products, platform solutions, or associated software business – can ultimately slow its pace of growth. The challenge for Nvidia will be finding the right balance between directing Arm toward their joint goals but doing so in a way that doesn't damage the latter’s position in the marketplace as an independent provider of IP.Īrm’s independence is often described as an asset. By combining Arm CPUs with Nvidia GPU's, Nvidia can also offer more choice for third-party SoC support to data center and cloud customers, in addition to AMD and Intel. There's an expectation that Nvidia would have a very “hands on” approach to Arm’s development plans and roadmaps and would try to accelerate Arm’s roadmap by investing in R&D resources, providing direct engineering guidance, as well as intermixing Nvidia intellectual property (IP) with Arm IP. That said, there is certainly concern from some Arm customers because Nvidia is a competitor to many of Arm’s licensees in key markets, such as automotive, data center, telecommunications, and robotics. That should be a good thing for Arm licensees that care about performance, which would include data center, high-end smartphones, networking, telecommunication systems, and Arm-based PCs. ![]() In a scenario where Nvidia is in charge of Arm’s roadmap, one would expect even higher performing CPU cores because of Nvidia’s focus on silicon and system performance. While there are alignment and synergies between Arm and Nvidia, there have been many critics of Nvidia’s acquisition plan for Arm. It is possible Nvidia is using the Neoverse N2 for Grace as the CPU isn’t responsible for the compute heavy lifting reserved for the GPU accelerator.Īrm And Nvidia – Perfect Match Or Perfect Threat? While the V1 is the highest performing core of the two, it is based on the ArmV 8.6 architecture, rather than the ArmV9 like the N2. Of the two cores, the V1 is the highest performance core designed with scalable vector extensions (SVE) instructions for high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Nvidia didn’t reveal the name of the Neoverse CPU core in Grace, but it is more than likely either a V1 or N2, or an improved version of one of the two cores. Grace is further proof that Nvidia values the performance possible with the Arm architecture and Nvidia's desire to push the Arm architecture to the highest performance platforms. Just two weeks earlier, Nvidia announced that it is building its own Arm CPU called Grace for high-performance computing and large-model training. MORE FROM FORBES Nvidia To Buy Arm - What's Next?

![]() ![]() Beginning with version 10, the project is fully relying on donations from users to finance its ongoing expenses in software development and support. ![]() Binary-comparison also processes all files in parallel.īefore version 10, FreeFileSync had shown a single advertisement during installation to help fund the project. Folder comparison will issue multiple requests at a time even when traversing only a single folder, by dynamically managing the workload while recursively reading the folder tree. The new parallel file operations architecture is not limited to the synchronization step, but used throughout the application. The idle time after issuing each file I/O request while waiting for the network response is not the limiting factor anymore: The number of parallel operations can be set as high as needed until the bandwidth is saturated and the network card is operating at full speed. This new design offers huge performance improvements for all scenarios that are dominated by latency, like synchronization against network shares or cloud devices including SFTP and FTP(S). During synchronization FreeFileSync will then spawn several tasks accordingly instead of processing only one file after another. It is now possible to specify the number of parallel file operations for each device inside the settings. The result is a straight-forward and intuitive way to handle multi-file renames:įreeFileSync with support for multi file renaming and the enhanced sync conceptĬan be obtained via the official website: įreeFileSync version 10 has added support for copying That can be copied or moved, while the commonalities are shown as editable text.

This opens up for new possibilities (like a proper "Update"),Īnd hopefully other kinds of sync scenarios, that are not immediately obvious The "changes"-based settings have always been hidden inside "Two way" but are now exposed.

Four plays later Van Dyke was sacked by defensive end Red Hibbler and fumbled. State reached midfield but Williams blitzed and affected Morris’ deep throw, which was intercepted by a diving Kinchens at the Miami 10. But the Canes returned the favor when Van Dyke looked for George in the end zone and was picked off by cornerback Aydan White. Defensive end Jared Harrison-Hunte recovered at the Pack 29. On the next drive, State faced a 3 rd and 10 from its own 38 and cornerback Jaden Davis jarred the ball loose from Morris on a corner blitz. Then came the turnovers – four in four possessions to be exact. But linebacker Jaylon Scott broke up Van Dyke’s third-down pass and Borregales trotted on for a 27-yard field goal to cut State’s lead to a point. Van Dyke hit George again 19 yards and a roughing the passer penalty on Pack defensive end Travali Price gave Miami a first down at the 13-yard line. The Canes responded as Van Dyke threw a dart to George for 18 yards and Fletcher scampered 16 yards to move into State territory. ![]() Four plays later, Morris faked a handoff on 3 rd and 1 and found running back Jordan Poole wide open down the left sideline for a 12-yard touchdown.

The drive stalled at the Pack 30 but Borregales connected from 48 yards out to give Miami a 3-0 lead. After Fletcher moved the chains, Van Dyke connected with Young on a 10-yard run to push the ball past midfield. The Pack got the ball first but a face mask penalty on Morris thwarted any momentum and Miami took over at its own 27. Wide receiver Kevin Concepcion caught five passes for 61 yards, and linebacker Payton Wilson racked up 16 tackles. Backup signal-caller Brennan Armstrong led State in rushing with 51 yards.
