Advances in the Internet technology have brought about new services utilizing the Internet. Changes are also seen in the appliances used to enjoy these services. Specialized "Internet appliances" for Internet services are being increasingly used today in place of PCs. To this end, the importance of appliance architecture and system technology for these new services is increasing along with the demand for technologies needed to obtain low-power, high-performance system LSI chips for mobile applications. In an attempt to meet the demand for new Internet-based services, Hitachi has developed its "System Solutions" that comprise a system technology, an architecture for individual appliances, and a system LSI chip technology to support these solutions.
