Following on from the UEFI 64-bit announcement, I like to announce the release of the ARM® Architecture Reference Manual (commonly known as the ARM ARM) for ARMv8-A. This is a significant event that has important implications for the software community. It enables the software eco-system to develop openly for 64-bit ARM applications, compilers, boot firmware and Operating Systems. I believe this will add impetus to the ARM ecosystem, through 64-bit software support, to continue the increasing momentum evident in the many servers & high performance computing, networking and general computing (including mobile and embedded) developments based on the ARMv8-A architecture.
