[TechWeb] Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences incubator of high-tech organizations in Beijing launched its first domestically-based domain name server Godson chip, this domain name server based on the Godson chip, and equipped "Maple" 2.0 systems, both hardware and software to achieve a localization, we have a device capable of fully independent intellectual property rights. Technically speaking, breaking the limit on the number of the world's 13 root servers for the development of Internet technology underlying sense of extraordinary.
What is the root server? The main root server used to manage the Internet's master directories, IPv4 root servers around the world only 13 units, a main root server in the United States. The remaining 12 were supplemented by a root server, where nine in the United States, two in Europe, the UK and Sweden, 1 in Asia in Japan. Its main role is to resolve DNS (Domain Name System), the so-called "DNS", like a zip code. Couriers (root name server) by postcode (DNS), quickly sorting letters, delivered to the country Branch.
The server is equipped with Godson CPU 2002 independent research and development of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, using RISC instruction set, No. 1 Godson frequency 266MHz, the Beidou system used is the Godson chip. Director of the domain name National Engineering Research Center Mao Wei said: Godson domain name server in terms of overall efficiency of network analysis, intelligent lines, etc., compared with similar foreign equipment, it has improved so much.
