Hello...
 
 
About my scalable algorithms and ARM processor architecture..
 
I have thought more, and i am specialized in parallel programming
and synchronization algorithms, and i have invented many scalable
algorithms and there implementations, you will find some of them in my
website here:
 
https://sites.google.com/site/scalable68/
 
 
My scalable algorithms and there implementations are actually compatible
with x86 architecture, but I have just taken a look at the following ARM
processor, and even though it's not a TSO memory model, and even though
it is a weak memory model, i think i am more capable to easily port my
scalable algorithms to such ARM processors, so i will easily port many
of my "scalable" algorithms to such the following ARM processors, here
is how: i think i have to 64-byte align some of my variables
in my scalable algorithms implementations so that to be atomic or/and to
avoid false sharing, also it is good that the ARM processors such as
Cortex-A76 below have 64-byte cache lines and this cache line size of
64-byte is compatible with x86, so it will easy for me the work of
porting to ARM, and i will easily put the right fences for ARM in my
scalable algorithms implementation so that to be compatible with such
the following ARM processors and this step is easy
for me because i am more capable, now my scalable algorithms
implementations are compatible with x86 architecture
and i will soon easily port them to ARM.
 
Here is the Cortex-A76 - Microarchitectures - ARM
notice that it has 64-byte cache lines as x86:

So stay tuned ! because i will soon easily port all my scalable
algorithms to such ARM processors.
 
 
 
 
Thank you,

Hello..
 
 
About ARM's new Cortex A76 CPU..
 
 
This year, it's all about ARM powering Windows 10 PCs, as several
manufacturers have started to move in the direction. As ARM's Cortex
cores start to increase in power and decrease in size, their
capabilities are starting to prove more than adequate to perform
everyday computing for the majority of users.
 
With this trend starting to show signs of early maturity, ARM has now
launched its latest Cortex A76 cores. These represent a completely new
microarchitecture over their predecessors, as ARM makes some massive
upgrades this year. In fact, the company describes the processor as
capable of meeting desktop requirements with the power efficiency of
mobile chips.
 
ARM's lead processor architect Miki Filippo highlighted the A76's IPC
gains over the A75 and A73. The A76 has a decode width of 4 IPC, a gain
of 33% over its predecessor. Additionally, Filippo also claims that the
35% performance boost advertised by ARM represents the minimum gain for
the processor.
 
Mike Filippo also expects that the Cortex A76 will match Intel Core
i5-7300 in performance terms and can also match the higher end Core i7
if equipped with more cache.
