Abstract
Arm is rapidly expanding across cloud and edge platforms running Ubuntu. This session explores Arm tooling to analyze and optimize workload performance, and how AI-assisted development using agentic AI and static analysis can accelerate porting and tuning applications for the Arm architecture. We will also have a peak into the latest Arm silicon platforms running Ubuntu.
