ARM company is preparing an update to set of 64-bit instructions ARMv8-A. Updates will be released as a profile ARMv8.1-A. Codenames cores are designated as Maya and Artemis. Other details were not, they were just now. Indeed, ARM reported that instructions ARMv8.1-A generally prepared. The updated specification will be published in the new year. By this time, will be ready all the necessary software tools for the practical adaptation cores with support set ARMv8.1-A.
Consequently, the first silicon supporting the updated set of instructions will appear before the end of 2015.
Instruction sets ARMv8-A and ARMv8.1-A will be on the market in parallel. Today the company has 57 licensees to set ARMv8-A. You can expect that most of them or all of them will get a license for an updated instructions set . Acquainted with the innovations at this location: infocenter.arm.com (ARM DDI 0487 document, the head of the Chapter A1 of the ARMv8-A Architecture Reference Manual). Briefly, said that the new set of slightly improves performance parallel computing, virtualization,
in the case of data protection when accessing memory and under normal calculations. Most of the changes will be transparent to the users in terms of adaptation of operating systems and core (eg with respect to support Linux).
