Abstract

The Godson-3 microprocessor aims at high-throughput server applications, high-performance scientific computing, and high-end embedded applications. It offers a scalable network on chip, hardware support for x86 emulation, and a reconfigurable architecture. The four-core Godson-3 chip is fabricated with 65-nm CMOS technology. Eight- and 16-core Godson-3 chips are in development.
