It is physically implemented based on the 65 nm CMOS process. This 174 mm2 chip consists of 425 million transistors. The maximum frequency is 1GHz with a maximum power consumption of 15 W. The main challenges of Godson-3A physical implementation include very large scale, high frequency requirement, sub-micron technology effects and aggressive time schedule. This paper describes the design methodology of the physical implementation of Godson-3A, with particular emphasis on design methods for high frequency, clock tree design, power management, and on-chip variation （OCV） issue.展开更多

It offers significantly improved performance over previous Godson-3 series CPUs by incorporating eight CPU cores and vector computing units. It contains 582.6 M transistors within 300 mm2 area in 65 nm technology and is implemented in parallel with full hierarchical design flows. In Godson-3B, advanced clock distribution mechanisms including GALS （Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous） and clock mesh are adopted to obtain an OCV tolerable clock network. Custom-designed de-skew modules are also implemented to afford further latency balance after fabrication. The power reduction of Godson- 3B is maintained by MLMM （Multi Level Multi Mode） clock gating and multi-threshold-voltage cells substitution schemes. The highest frequency of Godson-3B is 1.05 GHz and the peak performance is 128 GFlops （double-precision） or 256 GFlops （single-precision） with 40 W power consumption.展开更多

It integrates a 1 GHz processor core and abundant high or low speed peripheral IO interfaces. To overcome on-chip-variation problems in deep submicron designs, many methods are adopted in clock tree, and PVT detectors are integrated for debug. To meet the low power constraints in different applications, most of state-of-the-art low power methods are used carefully, such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, power gating and aggressive multi-voltage design.展开更多
