Abstract
The Godson project with an R&D history of 10 years is an independent national program of China that aims at developing advanced microprocessor technologies based on fundamental research and commercialization of the chip technology. We will give a comprehensive presentation of the Godson project, including its history, technical roadmaps, and several unique technical merits.
