Suiyuan Technology wins the "China Chip - Annual Major Innovation Breakthrough Product" award
On October 28, 2020, Hangzhou, China——At the 15th "China Chip" Integrated Circuit Industry Promotion Conference, Suiyuan Technology, an enterprise invested in by China Zhongji Investment, launched its first artificial intelligence training chip, "Suisi DTU", which stood out among many participating products and was awarded the China Chip - Annual Major Innovation Breakthrough Product award. This is also the first artificial intelligence chip to win this award since its establishment three years ago.
The annual "China Chip" event is an authoritative platform for the concentrated display of innovative achievements in the domestic integrated circuit field and an industry exchange event, aiming to create a well-known brand widely recognized by the Chinese integrated circuit industry and promote the continuous development of the industry. This year's "China Chip" solicitation activity received a total of 246 chip product applications from 165 companies. Compared with previous years, this year's participating products are more numerous, cover a wider range of applications, and have higher technical content.
Suisi (DTU, Deep Thinking Unit) is a computing power acceleration processor chip specially developed for artificial intelligence applications. It is based on the innovative and completely self-owned intellectual property rights of Suiyuan GCU chip architecture (General Compute Unit), including computing engine, data architecture, intelligent interconnection and advanced packaging and other self-developed core technologies. It is built using GlobalFoundries' 12nm advanced process, uses 2.5D three-dimensional packaging, and contains 14.1 billion transistors. This chip is aimed at data center artificial intelligence training scenarios, supporting the training of AI models such as computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, and machine learning knowledge graphs. While maintaining high flexibility and programmable scalability, it has competitive advantages in terms of computing power, energy efficiency ratio, and cost-effectiveness.
Background information:
Suiyuan Technology was established in Shanghai in March 2018 and has R&D centers in Shanghai and Beijing.
