Passed the joint test of the large aircraft C919, Xiangteng Micro GPU chip entered the airworthiness certification stage

On May 27, according to the China Aviation News, the independent GPU chip of Xiangteng Microelectronics Company of the Institute of Computing Technology entered the airworthiness certification stage.

It is reported that the HKM9000 graphics processing unit (GPU) independently developed by Xiangteng Microelectronics Company of the Aviation Industry Computing Institute has passed the joint test of the cockpit display and control system of large civil aircraft and entered the airworthiness certification stage, becoming the first GPU chip in China to be applied in the civil aircraft field.

This GPU chip was successfully developed in April 2020. At present, a complete application development ecosystem has been established, and the adaptation work of nearly 20 processors, Tianmai, Yihui, VxWorks and other operating systems and graphics application development software such as VAPS, iDATA, and SCADE has been completed; it has broken through many technical difficulties such as GPU multi-partition and multi-task parallel processing required by the new cockpit display and control system. It has been successfully applied to more than 10 users in multiple fields and nearly 20 display and control products, and the product functions are stable.

As we all know, GPU is the core chip of the display system, which involves hundreds of complex processing algorithms, multi-task parallel pipeline graphics processing architecture, large-scale high-performance processing circuits, and multidisciplinary technologies such as mathematics, computer graphics, computer architecture, microelectronics, and software. The chip design, verification, physical implementation and application scenario adaptation process are extremely complex.

In order to meet the airborne system's demand for autonomous and efficient GPU applications, the Institute of Computing Technology's Xiangteng Microelectronics Company has insisted on an independent forward-developed technology route. After nearly 10 years of unremitting efforts, it has mastered the entire process from application scenarios, demand definition, core algorithms, fully autonomous architecture, complex algorithm circuit implementation, software ecology, and model-based agile R&D. It can provide a full set of design documents, data, and source code, becoming the first choice for GPU chips for many cockpit display and control systems.

Xiangteng's GPU chips have long adhered to the forward design route and adopted a fully independent architecture. They can provide users with a full set of reference designs, complete documentation, data and source code, as well as thoughtful and timely full-stack solution support services. They have become the first choice of GPU chips for many cockpit display and control systems. They are currently entering the airworthiness certification stage. In order to effectively support the safe and reliable flight of the country's heavy weapon C919 in the vast sky, we contribute the power of "Xiangteng Core" and provide "Xiangteng Core" solutions!

In addition, the mixed-ownership reform plan of Xi'an Xiangteng Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. Group obtained final approval from Aviation Industry Corporation of China on March 25. The company has also entered the fast lane of development and can vigorously promote development.
