On June 8th, 2003, 65438+February 8th, 2003, Peking University held a week-long "China Core, Heart is China-Peking University Microprocessor Open Week", which indicated that the "Peking University Zhongzhi -—863CPU System Chip" developed by them and supported by the national VLSI design "863" plan had been successfully mass-produced and entered the market promotion stage. The success of "China Core" is self-evident, which is significant for ensuring China's information security and improving the core competitiveness and efficiency of the industry. As the leader of this R&D team, the program professor, director of Peking University Microprocessor Center, feels extremely proud. "Let more and better China' cores' leap to the forefront of national defense modernization and the main battlefield of national economic construction!" He spoke on behalf of the study group.
From 65438 to 0996, the program professor began to lead Peking University's research team in the research and development of CPU. Unsurprisingly, the hardships in the R&D process go hand in hand, which makes them feel tired while making continuous progress. 1one day in February, 999, it was late at night, and the program and two teachers from the R&D team rode home. Everyone was speechless and depressed all the way. At that time, the development of 16-bit microprocessor, the first software and hardware co-design environment supporting forward design of microprocessor and independent instruction system in China, was almost completed, but there were still some errors in the system that needed debugging. I have been working for 36 hours continuously, and I am still thinking in my mind: "What are we working hard for all day?" . Thinking about it, a sentence suddenly popped up in my mind, "The spirit that supports myself is' my Chinese core'".
The next day, the program wrote this sentence on the plaque. 10 days later, their scientific research achievements passed the appraisal, ending the history of China without "core". The reporter came here and saw this plaque, so the name of "China Core" spread all over the country overnight. ...
Compared with the pressure from outside, they were more impressed by the harsh working environment and hard working conditions. Although the conditions are poor, the belief and fighting spirit of scientific researchers in serving the motherland have become a sharp weapon to overcome difficulties. The program said, "At that time, many students and teachers often stayed up late and didn't have such good scientific research and office conditions. One year is basically continuous rotation. Since 1999, I haven't stayed up all night in the lab except on New Year's Day this year. In the other four years, I brought some classmates to meet the dawn of the new year at work. "
By the end of 2000, 32-bit CPU and supporting software had been developed, but how to further industrialize and turn a single spark into a prairie fire has become a new problem for these Peking University students. Supported by the VLSI design project, software project and computer software and hardware theme in the information field of the 863 Plan, they began to develop the CPU system chip and supporting system software of the network computer. On February 26th, 2002, the first complete system of 65438+ was put into operation. Mass production began in 2003 and entered the stage of market promotion.
From the development of 16-bit microprocessor in those years to the present, "China Core" is constantly enriching itself. With the unremitting efforts of researchers led by the program professor, the beating of "China Core" will surely become more and more powerful.
