Alibaba formed chip subsidiary Pingtouge to develop AI chips and core processors

On July 25th, Alibaba Cloud Shanghai Summit officially opened. All in Cloud, which can be seen everywhere in the venue, highlights the theme of this conference. After 10 years of development of cloud computing in China, Alibaba Cloud has been integrated, and new and old IT sceptans are gradually changing. All in Does the Cloud era really come? In addition, at this conference, Ali also announced the latest news of the self-developed Pingtou brother chip.

 

Alibaba Group CTO, Alibaba Cloud Intelligent President Zhang Jianfeng first took the stage to make a keynote speech on "Inflection Point". He said that the changes in each era are technological changes. Several industrial revolutions are due to the emergence of new technologies and bring social and social Innovation in business models. The cloud era is a combination of technologies. Cloud computing is only the bottom layer, including big data, smart networking, and mobile technologies.

 

IDC data shows that the world's cloud infrastructure accounted for more than the traditional data center for the first time worldwide. Aliyun believes that across this turning point, there will be explosive growth. Zhang Jianfeng mentioned that compared with traditional IT, the cost of cloud computing is reduced by half, the stability of cloud is one order of magnitude higher than the stability of self-built IT, the security is one to two orders of magnitude higher, and the efficiency is tripled. "From IT itself From the perspective, cloud computing has the advantage of compaction."

 

Zhang Jianfeng introduced Aliyun's logo products: Feitianyun operating system, independent research and development, open source compatibility, and the largest infrastructure platform in China that has been tested for the longest time. The flying big data platform adopts the self-developed computing engine, the largest scale (expandable to 100,000 computing clusters), and the strongest data processing capability (single-day data processing capacity 600+PB).

 

Alibaba's data in the middle of the platform + business in the middle, carrying Alibaba Group-level business collaboration, from the chimney architecture to the unified micro-service platform, supporting agile innovation, second-level data intelligence and intelligent network AIOT. Alibaba Cloud provides self-developed high-performance cloud AI chips, rich end-side ecology (100+ sensors, 200+ chip models), cloud-side integrated intelligent platform (300+ industry algorithm model) and industry AI (ten industries) The brain), so that companies only need to care about the business itself.

 

"The new technology's ‘new’ represents the trend, and trend investment can always stand at the forefront of the times. Cloud computing, big data, smart networking, and mobile are new trends,” said Zhang Jianfeng.

 


For enterprises born in the Internet era, Shangyun is a natural rhythm. For industries such as the government that have complex requirements for business, Shangyun should consider many factors. If the previous non-Internet industry was only an extension of Alibaba Cloud's business, the release of the digital government strategy indicates that Alibaba Cloud is trying to expand its territory in this field.

 

Alibaba believes that the digital government is moving from the 1.0 era with "online administration" as the core to the 2.0 era with "data operation" as the core. Alibaba will open its 20 years of accumulated data operation capabilities to the society, helping the government to comprehensively enhance the convenient service capabilities for the public, refined social governance capabilities, and scientific decision-making capabilities.

 

Xu Shijun, vice president of Alibaba Group and president of Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Digital Government Division, said that the government represented by Zhejiang Province began to enter the digital government 1.0 era in 2009, completing the network and mobile layout. From the payment of Alipay water and electricity coal, to the later Zhejiang government service network, the most frequent, Zhejiang has been at the forefront of the country.

 

At present, in the field of digital government, Alibaba has reached cooperation with 30 provinces and cities across the country, covering 442 cities, including more than 1,000 service types, serving 900 million users. "Citizens can apply for government services online like Taobao."

 

The digital government's progress from 1.0 to 2.0 to intelligent services is in line with Alibaba's 20-year growth experience. “The first phase of e-commerce is to network the transaction through network connection and traffic distribution. In the second phase, the architecture and data operation of the dual-middle-station network formed a comprehensive digital technology capability. Today, Alibaba began to explore AI technology. Application in various fields." Xu Shijun said, "Alibaba is determined to open up the digital technology capabilities accumulated over the past 20 years and fully serve the digital government strategy."

 

In this trend, Alibaba upgraded its digital government strategy and integrated the capabilities of the Ali Group, including Aliyun, Nail, Ant Financial, and Gaode Map. Ali built a digital government architecture system of 1+2+2+N, which is based on a unified cloud platform base, data center station and business center station, mobile server and office represented by Alipay and nails. Integrate ecological forces and build N application innovation systems.

 

In addition, Aerospace Information, Yinjiang Co., Softcom Smart, Nanwei Software, Qianfang Technology, Zhejiang University Central Control, Shanghai Electric Science Intelligence, Baoxin Software, Zhongke Soft Science, Taiji and other companies jointly released “Digital Government” with Alibaba. Co-construction plan."

 

Everything is driven by the transformation of computing architecture, and Pingtou is committed to becoming a chip infrastructure provider for the AIOT era. Pingtou brother high-performance RISC-V architecture processor Xuan Tie 910 officially released, "Xuan Tie" one from the epee without front and big meaning of failure, 16 core, clocked at 2.5GHz, 12-level out of order pipeline, the maximum support 8MB L2 cache, AI enhanced vector calculation engine, can be used in artificial intelligence accelerators, network communication and autopilot.

 

The black iron 910 adopts the complex out-of-order execution architecture of 3 transmit 8 implementation. It is the first RISC-V processor in the industry to realize 2 memory accesses per cycle. Based on RISC-V, it has extended more than 50 instructions and systematically enhanced RISC- V's ability to compute, store, and multicore.

 

According to the data released on the spot, the black iron 910 has 40% higher performance than the mainstream chips in the industry, and is 20% higher than the standard command performance. There is no more information about the introduction of this chip itself.

 

In order to further reduce the threshold of chip design and accelerate industry innovation, Pingtou Ge also released hero posts on the spot, invited mass production companies and university research institutions to jointly build benchmark projects, and announced the “Pu Hui Chip” plan. In the future, Pingtou Ge will fully open the Black Iron 910 IP Core.

 

The global developer can download the FPGA code of the processor for free, and quickly carry out chip prototype design and architecture innovation. At the same time, Pingtou Ge also created a chip platform for domain customization optimization (Domain Specific SoC), providing hardware and software resources including CPU IP, SoC platform and algorithms, providing different levels of chip services for enterprises and developers for different AIOT scenarios
