On July 18, the 2023 (22nd) China Internet Conference, hosted by the Internet Society of China and co-sponsored by the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee, Beijing Municipal Communications Administration Bureau, and the News and Publicity Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, was held as scheduled. to! Zhongke Yushu attended this conference. Senior Vice President Zhang Yu was invited to deliver a wonderful speech at the New Generation Information Technology Development Forum titled "New Computing Infrastructure, the Third Main Chip DPU in Data Centers". Zhongke Yushu Products Cao Hui, deputy general manager of the Operation Department, participated in the roundtable forum discussion to discuss digital transformation and high-quality development of information technology innovation.

Zhang Yu said that data centers are rapidly entering the cloud-native era, and advanced computing technology that integrates cloud, network, edge, and terminal is considered to have become the core development direction of computing power networks. Not only that, the explosive growth of artificial intelligence applications such as AIGC has put higher demands on computing power, making intelligent computing power a new main driving force. Under this trend, heterogeneous computing power has become the mainstream technology of intelligence, and the three-in-one (CPU/GPU/DPU) architecture occupies a dominant position in new computing power centers.
As the core of the computing architecture, DPU undertakes important computing tasks and provides powerful computing power support. It is a computing power chip that plays a core role in the computing power network. Since its establishment, Zhongke Yushu has been committed to the research and development of DPU to provide more powerful and efficient computing capabilities for the new generation of data centers.
Regarding the current R&D progress and results of Zhongke Yushu, Zhang Yu introduced that after unremitting efforts, Zhongke Yushu has completed the research and development and iteration of three generations of DPU based on its self-developed special processor architecture in the KPU field, and successfully lit it up at the end of 2022. The first DPU chip in China supports the software definition of larger-scale hardware heterogeneous cores, fully supports full hardware offloading, and has industry-leading performance advantages at the same power consumption. It is the first in the industry to support network, virtualization, RDMA and large-scale DPU chip with data integration acceleration function. Compared with the DPU chip architecture in the industry, Yushu DPU is already at the first-class level in the industry.
The HADOS software development platform self-developed by Zhongke Yushu is a dedicated software framework that supports the efficient operation of the DPU hardware platform. It can support the computing power output of DPU chips and other heterogeneous computing hardware platforms. It has high ecological compatibility and greatly reduces the difficulty of application software development. . Through the "software and hardware collaboration" strategy, Zhongke Yushu successfully combined the hardware performance of DPU with the software development advantages of HADOS, thereby maximizing the release of DPU performance.
Zhongke Yushu's breakthroughs and innovations in the field of DPU provide more solid infrastructure support for the arrival of the cloud native era. Focusing on the full range of scenarios from ultra-low latency to ultra-high throughput, Zhongke Yushu has built a complete DPU product matrix, becoming the only fully ecologically compatible DPU product provider in the industry, and has received support from nearly a hundred customers and partners. Recognition of Yushu DPU product quality.

Cao Hui, deputy general manager of the product operation department of Zhongke Yushu, attended the roundtable forum with the theme of "High-Quality Ecology, High-Quality Empowerment: The Road to Development and Innovation of Xinchuang Ecosystem" and asked whether digital transformation can be one step closer to information technology innovation. In place, he said that for our manufacturers who develop DPU chips, the most important thing is to improve the functions and performance, and to make good demonstration applications in the industry, so as to achieve traction applications in data centers, cloud computing and other scenarios. DPU is the computing power support for the digital transformation of various industries. In the process of building a new computing power center, DPU can be directly used to improve the TCO of computing power usage.
In the future, Zhongke Yushu will continue to break through technological boundaries, continue to promote the improvement and promotion of DPU software and hardware technology, work with partners to lead the development of a new generation of data center computing architecture, and play a role in promoting the development and growth of China's Internet industry. positive effects.
