ARM joins SRC

Triangle Park, North Carolina – SRC’s HQ

Research in the GRC programme focuses on current semiconductor industry priorities, including the continued scaling of semiconductor technologies and finding diverse applications for them.

The programme has also expanded into new areas, including cybersecurity, technologies at the convergence of semiconductors and biology, novel approaches to energy-efficient computing, and the Internet of Things.

“We are pleased to have ARM join SRC’s Global Research Collaboration programme. GRC members are among the top semiconductor companies in the world and ARM is no exception,” says SRC vp Celia Merzbacher, “SRC supports a broad portfolio of innovative research driven by long-term industry needs. Members get access to the results in near real time and to the SRC-supported network of university researchers, comprising hundreds of faculty and thousands of students worldwide annually. SRC has a record of investing in early stage research that had enormous impact industry-wide.”

“As process geometries shrink, the challenges of improving performance and energy efficiency through high levels of SoC integration are increasingly complex,” says ARM research vp Eric Hennenhoefer, “the most effective way of addressing these challenges is through collaborative R&D. Joining SRC allows ARM to make a contribution and help drive the advancements from which the semiconductor industry as a whole can benefit.”
