For China quietly upgraded core will be the decisive battle "in 11th Five-Year"

Compared to the 10 "Five Year Plan" and China history, "11th Five-Year" planning is not only the name of the "plan" has become a "planning", more on the content throughout the enterprise spirit, the basic direction of the essential requirements of Scientific Outlook on Development.

"The implementation of the 11th Five-Year plan, marking the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development entered into a new stage; Chinese means that economic growth will be from over reliance on resources, to expand to the benign development mode, energy saving and high efficiency;" 11th Five-Year "during the period of reform and innovation, will also promote economic and social development Chinese to a new level.

This newspaper today will be published continuously dream "11th Five-Year" series of special reports, will be from the perspective of independent innovation, financial reform, energy resources, foreign trade, people's livelihood prices and environmental protection, in-depth interpretation of the theme of "11th Five-Year" advocated by Scientific Outlook on Development within the culvert, and forecast the historical process of the opportunity, the new challenges and new achievements.

In the modern information society the most important core technologies -- computer processor (CPU) technology, Chinese has "no core" heteronomy, the pain had let the experts have long restless; become an important factor to hinder our country become technologically competitive power, and may therefore endanger our national security strategy. Break through the bottleneck of CPU R & D and manufacturing, become the dream of countless people.

At this point, named Godson 2 of China's independent intellectual property rights CPU chip turned out to give us hope, and "Godson 3" more people look forward to. Because there is a Chinese called Hu Weiwu, said: Godson 3 performance will be no less than international standards."

Hu Weiwu's two "curse""

"Core" has been a pain in the hearts of the Chinese computer scientists and practitioners of the nerves, but also to spur them to move forward momentum. The hard work will eventually return - August 10, 2002 at six eight in the morning, Godson 1 CPU turned out. From that moment, the Chinese people finally have a computer chip with independent intellectual property rights, the end of the history of the use of foreigners only CPU manufacturing computer.

Godson 1 CPU chips come out, we can gradually solve the security problems in e-government, defense and other aspects of the face of security.

3 years later, in April 18, 2005, "dragon core number 2" available.

Godson 2, using a 0.18 micron process, clocked at 500MHz. The performance of the chip has more than a new generation of VIAC3 reached via processor Pentium 3 level. As a high performance general-purpose CPU chip the first 64, Godson 2 will be able to run the full 64 bit Chinese Linux operating system, windows X-window system, full-featured Mozilla browser, media player and OpenOf-fice office suite, and have the basic functions of desktop PC. Its power consumption is 3 watts -5 watts and the cost is much lower than similar foreign products. It is understood that the mainstream RISC processor four launch of the now popular such as Alpha21264, MIPSR12000, IBMPowerIII from 400MHz to 500MHz under the condition of SPECCPU2000 value can reach about 300, while the PentiumIII in the 800MHz SPECCPU2000 floating point score only more than and 200 points. This also means that Godson 2 to reach 300 points, at least with 1GHz or more than PIII or PIV performance. In this regard, Godson chip designer Hu Weiwu said in an interview with this reporter, "above 500MHz frequency and SPECCPU2000 value reached more than 300 points is the Computer Research Institute for the CAS knowledge innovation project of major projects and 863 key projects of computer hardware and software is the index of the theme. I know the weight of these two numbers, and during the development, they were just as tight as the two hoops around my head."

Attracted many people's eyes, the international community in recognition of China's CPU industry has made full progress, but also its amazing growth rate is amazing. Shekhar Bocca, head of Intel's microprocessor technology lab, said that the technology used by Godson 2 shows that China has made rapid progress in the ability of chip design. A recent study by the famous Washington think-tank haartsen (HudsonIn - stitute), submitted a report entitled "China jump forward a big step" of the 112 page report of China competitiveness of military technology and had provided the Godson 2 chip came to the United States congress.

Indeed, from 2001 to March and April, Hu Weiwu volunteered to set up CPU design team began, to August 2002 the first general CPU design of a fully independent in more than and 200 MHz frequency, and then to April 2005, with high performance of general CPU's first 64 bit chip, this speed is quite amazing. Hu Weiwu himself said, "our country from zero starting point in the core of chips at the end of 95" to "fifteen" at the end of a lot of the core technology breakthrough, should be said that the development is indeed very fast, in the "fifteen" at the end, we design the latest processor comprehensive performance has reached about the the Pentium 4 level.

Infringement storm and Godson password"

Godson 2 Ben reached 3 level, which greatly surprised many people's surprise, because it means that, as long as it further, you can achieve even more than we are now the mainstream CPU - Ben 4 technology, the technology of INTEL and AMD in the monopoly, undoubtedly constitute the real and potential challenges. It also makes many people at home and abroad do not believe this fact. Wang Kaiyu, a long-term concern of the Chinese computer industry, in an interview with reporters
