As mentioned in the previous email of Zeson, C-SKY is a RISC architecture for high-performance and energy-efficient processors. Many Processors based on this architecture have been mass produced in different fields. At present, more than 1 billon have been shipped.</span></div><div style="clear:both;" class=""><span class=" __aliyun_node_has_color" style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, STHeiti, SimSun; font-size: 14px;"><br class=""></span></div><div style="clear:both;" class="">The community for C-SKY architecture is mainly composed of ourselves, Chip companies and some university institutions to develop the software ecosystem on this architecture. As shown in the figure below, I will try to briefly introduce the roadmap of this architecture. There are already a series of processors based on this architecture (we call it XuanTie 800 series) have been released, from the smallest cost 801 to high-performance computing 860, the size of the icon on the picture implies the cost of each processor.Each processor has different characteristics and application scenarios, a simple description has been marked on the picture.</div><div style="clear:both;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="clear:both;" class="">We are planning to develop a processor with higher performance than the 860, which may be called 880, and we are also planning to develop processors for special applications, such as SSD controllers or other special fileds.

It adopts independently design of architecture and micro architecture with extensible instruction set, which owns great features, e.g. configurable hardware, re-synthesis, easily integration etc. Additionally, it is excellent in power management. It adopts several strategies to reduce power consumption including statically designed and dynamic power supply management, low voltage supply, entering low power mode and closing internal function modules.</span></p><p class=" __aliyun_node_has_bgcolor" style="margin:.0px .0px 12.0px;padding:.0px;border:.0px;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:.0px;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><span class="" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-transform:none;font-family:arial;font-size:13.0px;">Now, C-SKY CPU instruction system has two versions: C-SKY V1 and C-SKY V2. You must note that the C-SKY V2.0 instruction sets are not freely exchangeable with V1.0. Conversely, available function provided by V2.0 is identical to V1.0 for most of applications. So that we strongly recommend that you should make sure you are aware of the generated result of specified application when you use them simultaneously. The two instruction sets differ in how instructions are encoded.</span></p><p class=" __aliyun_node_has_bgcolor" style="margin:.0px .0px 12.0px;padding:.0px;border:.0px;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:.0px;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><span class="" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-transform:none;font-family:arial;font-size:13.0px;">Basically, we can develop C-SKY V2 as prefer, and the ISA doc and ABI doc can be referred at following links.
