Zhongke Shuguang-Feasibility Study Report on R&D and Expansion Project of High-end Computer Based on Domestic Chip

1, project overview

At present, high-end computers with imported processor chips account for more than 90% of the domestic market. Influenced by the security of information industry and supply chain, it is increasingly important to develop high-end computers based on domestic processors.

At present, domestic processor chips are relatively mature, and the main architectures are X86, MIPS, ARM and so on. Processor chips with different architectures have their own applicable scenarios and application advantages, which are suitable for multi-head development and collaborative development.

This project develops high-end computer series products based on domestic processor chips with different architectures such as X86, MIPS and ARM. In order to meet the needs of different scenarios in the process of localization of high-end computers, break the technological monopoly of foreign manufacturers on China's computer industry and promote the sustained and healthy development of China's information industry. After the project is put into production, it can not only provide China industry users with a more cost-effective choice, but also ensure the security and controllability of key information systems, which has broad market development space and prospects.

2. Necessity of project implementation

(1) Guarantee information security and industrial security.

Mastering the design and manufacturing technology of high-end computers based on domestic processor chips is the premise of ensuring national network and information security. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the import volume of integrated circuits in China ranks first among all kinds of imported products; The Yellow Book of G20 Countries' Innovation Competitiveness issued by the State Council Development Research Center also points out that China's key core technologies are highly dependent on foreign countries, and 80% of its chips are imported. In the field of high-end computers, core components including processor chips are almost completely imported from abroad, which makes high-end computers in China have great security risks in the supply of industrial chain.

In the past few years, domestic processor chip technology has made great progress, and a number of domestic processor chips with different architectures, such as X86, MIPS and ARM, have appeared successively. Next, it is urgent to promote the construction of industrial ecological environment based on domestic processor chips. Research and development of high-end computer series products based on domestic processor chips can ensure the security and controllability of key information systems, break the technological monopoly and security threats of foreign manufacturers in the integrated circuit industry, reverse the passive situation of information technology in China, and promote the sustained and healthy development of China's information industry.

(2) Promote the innovation of information technology application and the construction of industrial ecological environment.

At present, the global high-end integrated circuit industry is in a monopoly competition pattern. Processor chip giants in western countries such as Intel and AMD have established strong patent barriers, technical standard systems and industrial ecosystems through decades of continuous technological innovation and huge investment, and firmly controlled most of the global markets. Although China has made some innovations and breakthroughs in this field, its industrial base in this field is very weak, and resources such as technical talents and funds are insufficient.

To promote the industrialization of domestic processor chips, it is necessary to build a complete innovation chain and industrial chain of "chip design and manufacturing, whole machine system, software ecology and application services" to ensure the sustained and healthy development of related industries. The development of the whole machine system based on domestic processors is to promote the development of domestic high-end computer industry, which faces the main battlefield of the national economy and belongs to the basic guarantee facilities for the development of information industry. Only by developing high-end computers based on domestic processor chips can we continue to promote the industrial ecological environment construction of information technology application innovation and promote the application and industrial development of domestic processors in various industries; The second is to eliminate potential hidden dangers for the development of other related industries. The technology research and development and operation of many industries in China depend on high-end computers to some extent. If the core chip supply chain is affected for various reasons, it may have a huge adverse impact on some domestic industries and industries that rely on cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and high-end computer platforms.

(3) Enhance the competitiveness and sustainable development ability of enterprises.

For a long time, the price dominance of high-end computer processor chips has been controlled by a few foreign enterprises, and the profit space and profitability of domestic high-end computer enterprises have been greatly restricted and restricted. By developing high-end computers based on domestic chips with different architectures, the company will pay more attention to the research and development of independent core products, further strengthen its technical advantages in this field, and continuously introduce a series of high-end computer products that are easily accepted by different markets, which will not only improve the profitability of China's complete machine enterprises, but also greatly reduce the cost of informationization and intelligence in China, and promote the safe and high-quality development of China's digital economy and smart society. Therefore, the implementation of the project will ensure that the company's products maintain the leading edge in technical specifications, continuously meet the needs of a wide range of industry users and applications, further improve the market competitiveness of the company's products, and obtain better economic and social benefits.
