As we all know, Chinese technology companies have shortcomings in the fields of chips and operating systems. The "core" and "soul" in the lack of cores and souls refer to chips and operating systems respectively. American companies have absolute voice in the fields of chips and operating systems. If Chinese companies want to avoid being "bottled", they can only rely on independent research and development.
Academician Ni Guangnan once said that the RISC-V architecture may replace the ARM architecture and the X86 architecture , creating an opportunity for Chinese companies to "overtake on the curve". Looking back now, Academician Ni Guangnan is right, and the RISC-V architecture has great potential.
Recently, Google officially announced that Alibaba flat head brother's RISC-V patch will be included in the Android system source code, and Google Android system is supporting the RISC-V architecture. Obviously, international technology giants have also begun to accelerate their layout of RISC-V architecture. Alibaba has made the right choice and has become a big winner.
After realizing that "RISC-V architecture may become the mainstream architecture of CPU in the future", Alibaba turned on the full speed mode, increased its investment in R&D technologies related to RISC-V architecture, and achieved a lot of results. For example, Wujian 600 platform. This is an RISC-V high-performance chip development platform. With the support of the platform, it can accelerate the research and development of RISC-V chip products, improve development efficiency, and reduce development risks.
Usually, as a competitor in the industry, no one will choose to open the developer platform, but in order to comprehensively promote the development of RISC-V architecture, Alibaba launched the Swordless 600 and has gained a certain leading advantage in the field of RISC-V architecture. In addition to the Wujian 600 platform, Alibaba Pingtou Ge has developed chips such as Xuantie 910 and rayon 1520 based on the RISC-V architecture. Among them, the Yiying 1520 chip is also the chip equipped with the world's first RISC-V laptop product, and it is also made by Alibaba.
It is worth mentioning that the RISC-V patch launched by Alibaba can be supported by Google's Android system, which is of great significance to the development of the RISC-V architecture. On the one hand, Android system, as one of the two giants in the operating system field, has considerable advantages in expanding the RISC-V architecture ecosystem. On the other hand, domestic manufacturers have new choices, and do not need to rely too much on ARM and X86 architectures, use the RISC-V architecture platform for design, and finally connect to the Android system. For China Enterprises or Google, the choices are more abundant.
It is undeniable that the current gap between the RISC-V architecture and the other two major architectures is still relatively large. However, judging from Google's decision to include RISC-V architecture into the Android system, and from Alibaba's layout of RISC-V architecture, it is enough to prove that the development potential of RISC-V architecture is quite huge. Therefore, domestic technology companies must also follow Alibaba's footsteps and continue to deepen their RISC-V architecture market. Perhaps they can fulfill Academician Ni Guangnan's expectations and no longer be limited to people in terms of chips, operating systems, etc. What do you think about this?
