Introduction1.1 About the <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong> processorThe <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong> processor is a high-performance, low-power multiprocessor thatimplements the <strong>ARM</strong>v7-A architecture. The <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong> processor has one to four<strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> processors in a single multiprocessor device, or <strong>MPCore</strong> device, with L1 and L2cache subsystems.Figure 1-1 shows an example block diagram of a <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong> processor configurationwith four processors.See Components of the processor on page 2-2 for a description of the <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong>processor functional components.<strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong> processorAPB ATB Interrupts TimerEventsDebug andCTITraceGIC(optional)GenericTimerMiscellaneous<strong>Processor</strong> 0<strong>Processor</strong> 1<strong>Processor</strong> 2<strong>Processor</strong> 3L1ICacheL1DCacheTLBsL1ICacheL1DCacheTLBsL1ICacheL1DCacheTLBsL1ICacheL1DCacheTLBsSlaveMasterSnoopControlUnitL2 cacheACP ACE Level 2 memory systemFigure 1-1 Example multiprocessor configuration<strong>ARM</strong> DDI 0438I Copyright © 2011-2013 <strong>ARM</strong>.
