Unicore is the name of a computer instruction set architecture designed by Microprocessor Research and Development Center (MPRC) of Peking University in the PRC. The computer built on this architecture is called the Unity-863.[1] The CPU is integrated into a fully functional SoC to make a PC-like system.[2]

It is supported by the Linux kernel as of version 2.6.39.[3]
