ARMV4,ARMV4T,ARMV4I
ARMv4 -> 它只支持 32 位 ARMv4 指令
ARMv4T ->“T”代表 Thumb(16 位指令模式)ARMv4I ->“I”代表交互作用 (Interworking)。它允许 32 位指令和 16 位指令共存
一些经常出现的CPU支持的指令类型:
XScale->支持ARMv5指令,当然也支持ARMv4指令
StrongARM -> 支持 ARMv4 指令ARMv4I指令。
ARM920T 等 -> 通常支持这三个变种
WinCE系统对指令的支持:
WM4.2/ppc2002/2003 支持armv4
WM5.0 支持armv4i
"T" in "TDMI" -- The "T" in "TDMI" indicates the Thumb feature.
"E"-- These are signified by an "E" in the name of the ARMv5TE and ARMv5TEJ architectures. E-variants also imply T,D,M and I.
VFP--VFP (Vector Floating Point) technology is an FPU coprocessor extension to the ARM architecture. 除了提供浮点数基本运算(加、减、乘、除、开方、比较、取反)提供支持之外,最有特点是它向量(vectors)功能。它同时支持最多8组单精度4组双精度浮点数的运算。出现后很快被NEON取代( to be replaced with the much more powerful NEON Advanced SIMD unit.)
NEON--Advanced SIMD (NEON)
ARM NEON技术是适用于ARM Cortex-A系列处理器的一种128位SIMD(Single Instruction, Multiple Data, 单指令、多数据)扩展结构。
The Advanced SIMD extension (aka NEON or "MPE" Media Processing Engine) is a combined 64- and 128-bit single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instruction set that provides standardized acceleration for
