ARM Community: ARM & Linaro - big.LITTLE FAQ on Google+ Hangouts - ARM Community

Have questions on ARM’s big.LITTLE processing technology? Well get up early and stay late tomorrow to watch ARM’s big.LITTLE Prodcut Manager, Brian Jeff and Linaro’s CTO, David Rusling discuss live the most frequently asked questions on big.LITTLE on ARM’s Google+ Hangout on Air (also broadcast on ARMflix YouTube channel) on Thursday Oct 18^th at 15:00 BST/14:00 UTC/9:00 CST.

Below are a few of the questions you can expect to find answers to:

• Should user level code be changed to take advantage of big.LITTLE?
• When will Google support big.LITTLE?
• What software needs to be written by silicon partners or ODMs to run big.LITTLE on a platform?
• Why didn't ARM share a single L2 cache between the big and LITTLE clusters to save area?
• Can the individual cores be scaled for frequency and voltage?

Just as we go live the link to the Google+ Hangout on Air will be posted to this blog's comments section, ARM onAir Google+ page, ARMflix YouTube channel & @ARMSoC twitter. Join the conversation during the event on Twitter and include the hashtag #ARMbigLITTLE.
