Trusted Firmware M (TF-M) is an open source implementation of Platform Security Architecture (PSA) for Arm Cortex M processors. TF-M provides secure services to other cores or non-secure execution environments using PSA APIs on the M profile core. It includes services like secure storage, security audit trails, and crypto, amongst others. PSA Firmware Framework (PSA-FF) compliant APIs are used for inter-process or inter-processor communication with the secure services.
This session will discuss how to run Zephyr on a non-secure core, calling TF-M services on a secure TF-M core. A dual-core Cortex M33 will be used, with OpenAMP as the IPC protocol between the Zephyr and TF-M core.

Arm’s Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) has introduced a new challenge to the debugger world where vector register size is unknown until run time and also can change during execution. Arm has been innovating in the past year or so to live up to the challenge of SVE in GDB. Linaro has begun to do the same for the LLDB debugger in the LLVM toolchain world. In this talk we will briefly introduce SVE and its impact on debugger’s register access design. Moreover, we will discuss SVE support in LLDB, will give an overview of the whole effort and will provide updates about completed, in progress and completed tasks.
Arm announced SVE2, in early 2019, which allows a wider range of software to benefit from the advanced, scalable SIMD vector technology of the original SVE architecture (announced in 2017).

Microsoft and a community of partners created ONNX as an open standard for representing machine learning models. Models from many frameworks including TensorFlow, PyTorch, SciKit-Learn, Keras, Chainer, MXNet, and MATLAB can be exported or converted to the standard ONNX format. Once the models are in the ONNX format, they can be run on a variety of platforms and devices.
ONNX Runtime is a high-performance inference engine for deploying ONNX models to production. It's optimized for both cloud and edge and works on Linux, Windows, and Mac. Written in C++, it also has C, Python, and C# APIs. ONNX Runtime provides support for all of the ONNX-ML specification and also integrates with accelerators on different hardware such as TensorRT on NVidia GPUs.
The ONNX Runtime is used in high scale Microsoft services such as Bing, Office, and Cognitive Services. Performance gains are dependent on a number of factors but these Microsoft services have seen an average 2x performance gain on CPU. ONNX Runtime is also used as part of Windows ML on hundreds of millions of devices. You can use the runtime with Azure Machine Learning services. By using ONNX Runtime, you can benefit from the extensive production-grade optimizations, testing, and ongoing improvements.
Weixing Zhang is a Senior Software Engineer working in AI Framework Architecture team at Microsoft. His focus is optimization of AI framework, code generation and training in ONNX Runtime.
There are several mobile and server AI benchmarks in use today and some new ones on the horizon. Which of these or others are applicable to IoT use cases? How do you meaningfully compare AI performance across the wide range of IoT HW with widely varying cost, memory, power and thermal constraints, and accuracy tradeoffs for quantized models vs non-quantized models? This talk will discuss these topics and some of the possible ways to address the issues.

Cloud Native is an approach to building and running applications that exploit the advantages of the cloud computing delivery model. It typically means to use containerized open source software stack, dynamically orchestrated and managed to optimize resource utilization. To build cloud native NFV infrastructure, in addition to containerized NFV orchestration engine, such as Kubernetes, we need high performance, scalable and micro-service oriented networking solutions to support the requirement of high performance network applications and services. In this presentation, we would like to show the data plane acceleration(DPDK) usage and programming technique in building the cloud native NFV infrastructure on arm: 1. The data plane acceleration programming in support for high performance user space network stack with event model on arm; 2. The data plane acceleration usage model in high performance inter-hosts Kubernetes container networking solutions; 3. The para-virtualized data plane acceleration accessing mechanism(vhost/virtio) in supporting high performance container connection with virtual switches, such as VPP, OVS 4. The data plane acceleration utilization in cloud native applications deployment and service providing; 5. The performance tunning factors and analysis of data plane acceleration configuration in cloud native NFV infrastructure deployment

Twitch is a live-streaming platform that creates interaction between broadcasters and audiences through chat messages on top of live video. Such a user-generated-content (UGC) interactive live streaming model offers a “lean-forward” experience to the viewers, which many of them find more interesting than the traditional linear TV’s “lean-backward” experience.
Although desktop browsers still account for the majority of Twitch’s traffic, mobile devices are emerging as very important client platforms, particularly in Twitch’s fastest-growing markets such as Asia and Latin America. On the other hand, we face a number of special challenges when trying to optimize the viewing experience on mobile devices. This talk will explain Twitch’s engineering effort on multiple aspects of the live video pipeline in order to achieve low latency, deploy new codec format, and handle the diversity of client devices.

We have experienced very successful open source development for Linux operating system. But in the firmware area, most of the developments are carried out by some major organizations without the participation of community. Application driven open source development enables a software system ecosystem which can adopt various hardware components, including different architectures, and let the vendors deferential and create tangible results. Open source firmware and Standard firmware interface is critical to enable different hardware implementation for the same ecosystem. In this secession we will discuss how to join and contribute to an open source firmware project managed by Linaro. The key principles of this project are as following • General System Firmware not specifically targeted for phone, client, server or cloud. • Universal interface supporting multiple OSes including Linux and Windows • Adaptive to various silicon especially silicone provided by member companies • Encourage open technology and early standard implementation • New TianoCore license model or similar • Long Term Stable release instead of product driven
