Multicore embedded processors accelerate 4G LTE applications

摘要

ARM recently introduced the Cortex- R5 and Cortex-R7 embedded real- time processors targeting LTE (long- term-evolution) and LTE-Advanced applica- tions. The new designs build on the capabili- ties of the ARM Cortex-R4 processor, which the company introduced in 2006, by main- taining binary compatibility. The Cortex-R complements specialized DSP processors in 4G (fourth-generation)- modem applications. You can use the R5 and the R7 in single- or dual-core configurations.
