In the rapidly evolving world of technology, Arm®-based system-on-

chip (SoC) designs have become a cornerstone. As the complexity
and performance demands of these designs increase, so does the
need for comprehensive resources to guide engineers through the
process. That's where the new Arm Performance Cookbook comes
into play.

the first chapter available today for free download.

Why is this book important for Arm-based SoC

designers?
The Arm Performance Cookbook is a response to the growing
challenges faced by engineers in the field. As the demand for high-
performance, low-power devices continues to rise, so does the
complexity of designing SoCs to meet these requirements.

This book is designed to help engineers overcome these

challenges. It provides a deep dive into the intricacies of designing
high-performance Arm-based SoCs, offering insights into the latest
design methodologies, performance optimization strategies, and
analysis techniques.

The book also addresses the challenges of designing for specific

workloads and applications, from mobile and data center
infrastructure to automotive ADAS compute. It provides guidance on
how to configure various IP to match service priorities for workloads
and effectively compare architectural and configuration tradeoffs.

What is the book about?

methodologies essential for designing high-performance Arm-

based SoCs. It provides a comprehensive overview of performance
optimization strategies and decision-making processes.

“Evaluating the tradeoffs of implementing traffic service policy is an

increasingly important challenge when creating high-performance SoCs.
Renesas engineers have been using Cadence System VIP to perform these
evaluations, thereby enhancing our ability to deliver optimized solutions to
our customers. The forthcoming Cadence Arm Performance Cookbook is
going to be a ‘must read’ for anyone creating high-performance Arm-based
SoCs.”
- Tatsuya Kamei, Distinguished Engineer, HPC Digital SOC Division,
Renesas Electronics

The book also delves into how Cadence tools and solutions can
assist in achieving optimal performance. It provides practical,
hands-on knowledge using real working flows in conjunction with
advanced System VIP tools.

The book is not just about the products, but about understanding
the needs and methodology behind them. It's about equipping
engineers with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in the
field of SoC design.
