Academician Ni Guangnan: Master the initiative of the development of the chip industry in his own hands

Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the first batch of experts and members of the Chinese Science and Technology Think Tank, a member of the Audit Committee, a computer expert, and a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Ni Guangnan has long been engaged in the research and development of computers and its applications, and has been committed to developing independent and controllable information core technologies and industries. The first electronic tube computer (119 machines), which has participated in the development of China's self -designed, carried out Chinese character processing and character recognition research in the 1960s and 1970s.

Core technology cannot be subject to others

Chip is the core foundation of information technology. Thirty years ago, Ni Guangnan called on China's information industry to master core technologies such as operating systems, CPUs such as operating systems, CPUs. In order to not be subject to others, to promote the development of China's information industry. In 1994, Ni Guangnan and Fudan University and the Yangtze River Computer Company reached the intention of establishing a joint venture to establish a chip design center to vigorously develop the design capabilities of integrated circuit chips. In 2001, Ni Guangnan and Ark Technology joined hands to design the first embedded chip "Ark 1" in China.

In recent years, a emerging open source RISC-V streamlined instruction set CPU architecture has provided new opportunities for the development of my country's chip industry. Ni Guangnan said that the RISC-V architecture adopts an open source mode. Users can freely use the architecture to use the architecture for free CPU design, development, and adding their own instruction sets to expand. Completely closed source. In order to better promote the development of my country's chip industry, Ni Guangnan said that my country can properly focus on the RISC-V architecture to develop the chip industry. The initiative of development is firmly in my hands.

Ni Guangnan is the first person in my country to advocate core technology autonomous and controllable, and has always worked hard for the localization of chips and operating systems. In May 2022, Ni Guangnan said at the 2022 IT Market Annual Conference that domestic operating systems and databases such as databases have been transformed from "basically available" to "easy -to -use". He mentioned 3 domestic operating systems, including Hua and the Old Euler OPENEULAR, Hongmeng Openharmony, and Kirin Openkylin contributed, and affirmed the advantages of the open source model.

At the same time, Ni Guangnan admits that there are obvious shortcomings in my country's hardware and software. He said that it is not terrible to have a short board. To make up for the shortcomings, you must pay attention to open source projects. The success of Alibaba's Brother Xuan Iron Series and Huawei's latest high-definition TV chips, which shows that the RISC-V chip architecture based on the open source instruction set has allowed us to get rid of the restrictions of the ARM architecture. At the same time, it is necessary to cooperate to strengthen the organization and collaboration of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. Ni Guangnan believes that the situation in terms of key technologies and equipment in the field of information has been greatly improved in terms of key technologies and equipment, and key core technologies have been eased by stuck neck. Ni Guangnan has always insisted on running for China. He hopes that technology workers must always adhere to the principles of key core technologies that cannot be subject to people and improve the capacity of key software and hardware.

Create a Chinese character recognition system

In 1961, Ni Guangnan entered the calculation office and participated in the independent development of my country's computer. The 119 machine he participated in the development was the first large -scale digital electronic computer designed by my country. The earliest computer system only recognized English, making it difficult for computers to promote popularity in my country. Ni Guangnan wanted to create a auxiliary system to identify Chinese characters -Hanka. In 1968, the 717 machine display developed by Ni Guangnan was the earliest Chinese character display in my country. Then he participated in the development of the display group "SK-1 Light Pen Figure", which greatly enhanced the Chinese character display function. In 1980, Ni Guangnan launched the first Chinese character processing product "Chinese characters, graphic display function boards". It was inserted on the popular microcomputer at that time, which can have Chinese character processing functions.

Ni Guangnan's "Lenovo Hanka" led by the team to successfully developed the technical foundation of Lenovo. Relying on the accumulation of many years of Chinese character information processing technology, Ni Guangnan led the Lenovo -style Chinese character microcomputer system (LX -PC) and Lenovo Hanka to the market successfully in the market. When Lenovo -style Hanka became more and more popular, Ni Guangnan clearly realized that the computer will inevitably be popular in the future, so he turned his goal to the microcomputer. In 1988, Ni Guangnan led the team to develop the Lenovo motherboard and expansion card of "Made in China" in Hong Kong. Lenovo brand microcomputers, which adopted independent design motherboards in 1990, was also launched in China.

Ni Guangnan's Lenovo -style Chinese character system and Lenovo series micro -machines developed in 1988 and 1992 won the first prize of national science and technology progress. He has been committed to developing my country's independent and controllable information core technology and industries. Ni Guangnan said that science and technology are constantly moving forward, just like the wheel of history always rolled forward. You cannot be proud of his pride and stop learning because of a momentary achievement. Although age is no longer an advantage, it will provide reference experience to young people and "support" their outstanding innovation results. (Text/Wang Huilan)
