3. Micro Processor Unit (MPU)

The Micro Processor Unit (MPU) consists of multi-core Arm* v8.2-A architecture central processing units (CPUs), including a dual-core Arm* Cortex* -A76 processor and a dual-core Arm* Cortex* -A55 processor. These CPUs operate with the DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU) to create a four-core cluster that allows the CPUs to run asynchronously to each other, giving a wide range of performance options. Each CPU has a level 1 (L1) memory system and a private integrated level 2 (L2) cache. The DSU comprises a level 3 (L3) memory system, control logic, and external interfaces. Advanced functions such as floating-point operations and cryptographic extensions are supported.
