The Kirin chip is Huawei's self-developed processor, and its latest Kirin chip has reached the instruction set architecture ARMv8-A. ARMv8-A is an advanced instruction set architecture that supports multiple instructions and functions, including floating-point arithmetic, vector processing, encryption, and more. Specifically, the ARMv8-A instruction set contains more than 500 instructions covering a wide range of computation and control operations. These instructions can meet the needs of a variety of application scenarios, including mobile devices, servers, Internet of Things, and more. Therefore, Kirin chip has strong computing power and a wide range of application adaptability.
It includes an infrastructure section, as well as extensions such as Vector Extension LSX, Advanced Vector Extension LASX, Virtualization LVZ, and Binary Translation LBT, totaling nearly 2,000 instructions.
