Super-K: A SoC for single-chip ultra mobile computer

Abstract

In this panel discussion, I will make a brief introduction to the on-going Super-K project at the Microprocessor Research and Development Center (MPRC). The background of this project is the convergence of computers, consumer electronics and communication, so called 3C. MPRC has a ten-year history in microprocessor and system-on-chip (SoC) research and design. In the past, we have developed our own 32-bit RISC processor named UniCore, and two generations of SoC named PKUnity-863 (in acknowledgement of the support from China National High-Tech Program 863, abbr. 863 Project). From 2003 onwards, network computers based on UniCore have been used in commercial context.
