On June 27, the 2023 China International Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTIC) officially concluded at the Shanghai International Convention Center, bringing together nearly a hundred of the world's leading industry and academic experts. As part of this world-class semiconductor technology event, the "Measurement, Reliability and Testing Seminar" specially invited Dr. Yan Guihai, founder and CEO of Zhongke Yushu, to serve as one of the chairmen of the conference, and invited him to discuss the latest technological progress and applications of DPU technology. Prospect delivers a major keynote speech.
Yan Guihai pointed out at the seminar that with the changes on the demand side, the development of next-generation computer systems presents four key characteristics, namely computing capacity, scale, efficiency and security. Therefore, he believes that the design and improvement of network architecture and infrastructure layers are particularly important to meet the development of large-scale data transmission, high-performance computing and distributed computing. In this context, DPU is expected to become the best solution and play a key role in the next generation of computing systems.

As a data-centric, IO-intensive dedicated processor, DPU can offload data center infrastructure layer functions such as network, storage, virtualization, and security to dedicated hardware devices for execution, thereby releasing the computing power of the CPU and GPU to provide applications The service provides more dedicated computing power support, thereby accelerating the innovation of application scenarios such as cloud native systems, high-performance storage, and intelligent computing, and bringing the advantages of high energy efficiency, high performance, and scalability to next-generation data centers.
Zhongke Yushu independently developed the dedicated computing architecture KPU with "software-defined accelerator" as its core technology route. So far, it has carried out the research and development iteration of three generations of DPU chips. The agile heterogeneous software development platform HADOS that supports the DPU hardware platform has also been upgraded to 2.0. version, we are continuing to build a complete software and hardware system ecosystem around the DPU chip.
China International Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTIC) is the largest and most comprehensive annual semiconductor technology event in China and the largest world-class semiconductor technology seminar in Asia. For the semiconductor industry, technological breakthroughs in DPU will bring about the possibility of changes in future computing systems. In the future, Zhongke Yushu will also actively promote the widespread application of DPU technology in future computing fields and contribute to the innovative development of next-generation computing systems.
