It’s another year to meet again. On August 4, the third DPU Summit opened in Beijing. This summit was guided by the China Communications Society, hosted by the Jiangsu Future Network Innovation Research Institute, and hosted by the SDNLAB community, with the theme of “Intellect-driven Innovation·Chip” With the theme of "Moving the Future", it follows the co-creation effect of technological innovation and ecological synergy, gathering industry pioneers to jointly discuss DPU key technology practices, software ecological construction, typical application scenarios and standard progress.
As a leading company in domestic DPU computing power infrastructure, Zhongke Yushu was invited to deliver a keynote speech and appeared in the exhibition area with its latest DPU chips and related products and solutions, which became a highlight of this summit. At the meeting, Zhongke Yushu once again received industry recognition for its forward-looking layout and technology research and development capabilities in the DPU field, winning the "Ingenuity Technology Award" in the 2023 DPU Awards annual selection.

Ouyang Wu, deputy secretary-general of the China Institute of Communications, pointed out in his speech at the conference that DPU has continued to innovate and practice in technology, application and industry over the years. The industry has formed a broad consensus on the huge potential of DPU. In terms of technology, the DPU architecture continues to evolve and become a step forward. Key technologies towards intelligent computing. In terms of application, DPU is gradually moving from the initial data center field to more business scenarios; in terms of industry, the demand for diversified scenarios such as network, computing, storage, and security is rapidly emerging, providing effective solutions for the high-quality development of the DPU industry. Market traction.
Liu Yunjie, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that as the digital economy enters a new stage, large models represented by ChatGPT will penetrate into all walks of life in the future, and competition in this area will kick off a new prelude. At present, domestic DPU, GPU and other chip manufacturers are stepping up independent development and have achieved good progress and results. Academician Liu Yunjie also suggested using some new technical paths, such as computing power clusters and edge computing, to solve the shortcomings and deficiencies of high-end chips, and encourage manufacturers to try more applications and solutions.

Zhang Yu, Senior Vice President of Zhongke Yushu, delivered a keynote speech titled "Releasing Ultimate Performance, the Road to DPU Software Ecosystem Construction" at the main forum, sharing Zhongke Yushu's practice and experience in DPU software ecological construction in the past five years. . He said that from IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) to PaaS (Platform as a Service) to SaaS (Software as a Service), domestic and foreign manufacturers need to focus on how to optimize the large-scale application and use experience of DPU technology at different levels. Solve the three core issues of DPU value output - consistency, availability, and ease of use. Therefore, the construction of software ecosystem is an important guarantee for the successful application of DPU technology.
After five years of R&D iteration, Zhongke Yushu independently built HADOS®, an agile and heterogeneous software development system. The HADOS® platform adheres to the core design concept of resource and service orientation, supports P4 programmable network forwarding engine, diversified storage devices and storage networks, flexible and reliable security solutions and big data heterogeneous acceleration capabilities, and has rich and application layer interfaces and development interfaces, laying a good foundation for the development of the DPU ecosystem and providing customers with a simple, easy-to-use software platform that can be used in multiple scenarios. HADOS® has become the core driving force of Yushu DPU's high-performance solutions and has now entered the research and development of version 3.0.
Tang Xiongyan, deputy president and chief scientist of China Unicom Research Institute, said that if DPU wants to become the third main chip, it must first provide a good software development framework to provide developers with better programming and reduce application adaptation problems, thereby promoting DPU standard work and ecological construction work.
Duan Xiaodong, deputy director of China Mobile Research Institute, said that for DPU to truly become a widely used large chip, there is an urgent need to establish a new technology system from the underlying server hardware adaptation, DPU specifications and capabilities to the upper cloud platform. Build unified software and hardware standards to strengthen industry interconnection and compatibility and truly promote the prosperity and development of the DPU industry.
▲ Hu Huaxuan, deputy general manager of the Product Operations Department of Zhongke Yushu, delivered a keynote speech at the Application Ecosystem Forum
At the Application Ecosystem Forum, Hu Huaxuan, deputy general manager of the Product Operations Department of Zhongke Yushu, gave an in-depth introduction to the technological breakthroughs and innovative applications of DPU in big data scenarios with the title "DPU empowers big data computing, helping enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency". Today, big data has become the core means of production in various industries, and digital transformation and intelligent operations have become inevitable. All walks of life are using big data technology as the basis for business optimization and decision support. The two technological transformation directions of heterogeneous computing and cloud native are leading the evolution of big data technology, enabling more intelligent business operations with efficient data processing capabilities.
For big data and database scenarios, Zhongke Yushu has launched a data computing acceleration solution based on the core technology of DPU chips. It adopts industry-leading technical solutions for software and hardware collaboration and heterogeneous computing. By hardware-based algorithms, it achieves efficient Parallel computing and data offloading can effectively cope with the complexity and high requirements of big data processing. The overall performance is improved by 3 to 5 times, and TCO savings of 50% to 70% are achieved. It not only meets the computing power needs of upper-layer businesses, but also reduces Cluster resource consumption. Zhongke Yushu's DPU big data solution is not just a piece of hardware, but also a key technology that helps enterprises achieve breakthroughs in digital transformation. It can help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, and build a foundation for data processing computing power in the intelligent era.
▲ Participants stopped at the Zhongke Yushu DPU exhibition area to visit and learn more
In the summit exhibition area, Zhongke Yushu demonstrated its leading DPU technology and innovative products. Many manufacturers focusing on DPU chip applications came to visit Zhongke Yushu's booth. After listening to the detailed introduction, the visitors expressed their interest in Zhongke Yushu. Yushu recognized its innovative achievements in the field of DPU and expressed its intention to cooperate in depth with Zhongke Yushu.
As the summit comes to an end, the industry's attention and expectations for DPU technology continue to heat up. Zhongke Yushu will continue to use innovation as the driving force to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with all parties in the industry in the field of DPU application implementation.
