CPU and System-on-Chip (SoC) are two key technologies of IT industry. During the course of ten years of research, we have defined the UniCore instruction set architecture, and designed the UniCore CPU and the PKUnity SoC family. This cross-disciplinary practice has also fostered many innovations in microprocessor architecture, optimizing compilers, low power design, functional verification, physical design, and so on. In the mean time, we have put technology transfer on the list of our top priorities. This effort has led to several marketable products, such as ultra mobile personal computers, secure micro-workstations and 3C-converged consumer electronics. The development of the next generation products, the 64-bit multi-core CPU and SoC, is also underway. They will find their applications in secure and adaptable computers for mobile and desktop, as well as personal digital multimedia devices. Being consistent with the philosophy and the long-term plan, and by leveraging the cutting-edge process technology, we will continue to make more innovations in CPUs and SoCs, and strengthen our commitment to technology transfer. 201 and the era of desktop computing, client-server computing has become the dominant computing paradigm and this trend is expected to accelerate [1] . The growing popularity of mobile computing and communication devices promotes the convergence of computers, communication and consumer electronics, so-called 3C. Meanwhile, multimedia workloads will continue to increase in importance [2] . This naturally leads to greater demand for computers with high performance for multimedia functions and low design complexity, but at the same time, the size, weight and power consumption must remain constant [3] .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
