Abstract

The article discusses the history of ARM and its current impact on HPC as well as some other European trends. ARM is a 30-year-old UK-based semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) company that started as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd., a joint venture that included former UK company Acorn Computers, Apple Computers (now Apple Inc.), and VLSI Technology. RM was bought in 2016 by the Japanese conglomerate and investing company Softbank Group, which also had a main stake in US Sprint and also has significant T-Mobile stock via the merger of Sprint and T-Mobile that was completed in April 2020. ARM did not produce any computer chips, but licensed its architecture designs and product ecosystem to other vendors.
