该论文作为ISSCC 2008的主题演讲，探讨了嵌入式处理器在日常生活（如心脏起搏器、手机、客机）中的广泛应用，强调了与全球领先半导体公司和OEM的紧密合作，并指出在性能、功耗和芯片面积之间没有放之四海而皆准的答案。
From pacemakers through mobile phones to passenger jets, most people deal with electronic devices empowered by embedded processor cores, every day, without a second thought. This penetration into everyday lives across such a broad range of applications requires the embedded core developer to work in close partnership with many of the world’s leading semiconductor companies and OEMs, demanding close attention to technology trends, from fundamental technology up to application requirements. In the trade-off between performance, power, and die area, there is no right answer, as each application has its own requirements. A diagnostic device that passes through the intestines may require 7 to 10 hours of battery life, while a pacemaker may require years; power consumption for an airbag deployment circuit, on the other hand, is not so critical, but failure-free performance is literally lifesaving.
