Building Arm Developer Desktops with Joe Speed and Rebecca Cran: A Guide to Native Arm Software Dev

A Hands-on session for native Arm software development with purpose-built workstations. Discover how to create a high-performance desktop Arm developer environment to speed building, testing, and running arm software and AI workloads without cross-compilation or emulation overhead. Learn how embedded, automotive, and game developers speed their development and testing with 64 to 192 core Arm developer desktops. We will share practical guidance on building and setting up developer-class Arm computers that deliver fast, expandable e.g. GPUs, storage, et al.scalable, quiet, on-premises compute for your Arm software projects. This interactive session offers developers the opportunity to: - See real-world Arm workstation builds in action and the software stacks they enable, from Arm Linux and Windows Arm64 dev environments to AI/ML and containerized workflows - Learn best practices and recommendations for optimizing your native Arm development environment - Get your technical questions answered directly by Ampere engineers - Gain insights into the latest Arm desktop ecosystem developments and toolchain support. This is an exclusive Office Hours session for Arm Developer Program members, held on the Arm Developer Discord server.
