Breaking-News >> TodayHistory On August 10, 2002, our country's first CPU "Loongson 1" was born
On August 10, 2002 (July 2, 2002 in the lunar calendar), our country's first general-purpose high-performance microprocessing chip "Longxin No. 1" was born. Hu Weiwu was remembered forever in the computer field of our country at 6:08 am on August 10, 2002. From that moment on, the Chinese ended the history of making computers only with foreign CPUs. It was Hu Weiwu who turned a new page in China's computer industry. He led scientific researchers to successfully develop our country's first general-purpose high-performance microprocessing chip with independent intellectual property rights - "Longxin No. 1". In early July 2002, before the "Loongson" best scheme layout design was submitted, Hu Weiwu's team finally completed the layout design after working overtime for 3 days and 3 nights. During inspection, the test report showed that the maximum delay and the delay analyzed by the wiring were inconsistent. This was due to the constraints on the cross-clock domain that did not match the actual situation. However, it was too late to rewire, so Hu Weiwu decided to manually revise the layout. After 24 hours, the modification was completed, reducing the delay by 0.6ns. At 5:00 pm that day, the test found another error, which caused the 10,000 multiple trigger scan chains of the entire processor to not be connected according to the requirements. If the plan cannot be changed before delivery, the whole plan will be aborted. At 8:00 that night, the team held a meeting to mobilize. Hu Weiwu required that any small modification must be operated by one person and watched by two people. Over the next two days and nights, everyone divided 10,000 more than one trigger into a dozen scanning chains. Until all the work of the final delivery of the tape was completed, everyone signed the plan book. After sleepless nights, it finally ushered in a bright day. They named the chip made according to the plan "Longxin" (English name Loongson). Hu Weiwu said emotionally: "The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation, which concentrates the advantages of various animals. I hope that'Longxin 'can also continue to shorten the gap between it and the world's most advanced level." However, few people know that the baby name of "Longxin" is "Godson" (meaning "Son of Heaven", homonym "Dog Leftover"). The reason why Hu Weiwu named Longxin "Dog Leftover" is to make a cheap name at the beginning of development, so that it can develop more smoothly and contribute to our country's information industry. Hu Weiwu's group took advantage of the victory and moved forward. At 1:10 am on October 17, 2003, a power switch was pressed, and the display screen jumped. After starting a simple BIOS system, it started to start the Linux operating system. Everything went smoothly, and "Dog Leftover No. 2" was born. At 4:30 am, "Dog Leftover No. 2" passed all tests. Hu Weiwu, who was extremely excited, took out a bottle of "XO" given by his friends in Silicon Valley and each person held a paper cup to celebrate. After drinking, everyone took a taxi to Tiananmen Square to see the national flag and went to the Chairperson Mao Memorial Hall to report to Chairperson Mao. "This year marks the 110th anniversary of Chairperson Mao Zedong's birth, and this chip is the first 64-bit high-performance CPU chip independently researched and developed by our country. We named it'MZD110 'and printed it on the chip," Hu Weiwu said. In 2003, Hu Weiwu, the seventh winner of China's "May 4th" medal, was cordially received by Hu Jintao in Huairentang, Beijing. Hu Weiwu was born in a family of teachers in Yongkang, Zhejiang Province. In June 1986, he joined the Communist Party of China while studying in Yongkang County No. 1 Middle School. In September of that year, Hu Weiwu entered the "cradle of Chinese scientists" - the University of Science and Technology of China as the top student in the college entrance examination of Yongkang County, Zhejiang Province. Serving the country through science and education has become an inexhaustible driving force for this university student to pursue excellence and continuous innovation. After graduating from the University of Science and Technology of China in July 1991, he entered the Institute of Computer Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences without an exam to pursue a doctorate. During his PhD, he studied under Academician Xia Peisu, a famous computer system architecture expert. The old academician's modesty, rigorous academic attitude and high sense of responsibility have benefited him for life. He completed the first draft of his doctoral dissertation in June 1995, and did not defend it until February 29, 1996. In the middle, Academician Xia revised 26 drafts. His doctoral dissertation won the "Special Award for the Dean's Scholarship of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" and the first "100 Excellent Doctoral Dissertations in China", one of which was to go abroad at public expense. The door to go abroad was open to him. From undergraduate to master's and doctoral studies, Hu Weiwu has always been in China, which can be called a real "local faction", and he even calls himself a "turtle faction". Hu Weiwu believes: "The domestic scientific research environment is not worse than that of foreign countries. Especially in recent years, the state has invested more and more funds every year. Where can I find it abroad?" Therefore, he is willing to be a "turtle pie" and has been staying in China to engage in scientific research. So far, in Hu Weiwu's drawer, there are still many invitations to go abroad. Because of "Longxin", he is reluctant to go out, and these invitations have expired. What made this IT expert refuse the temptation to go abroad and a high salary? What made the Longxin group do better than them when there is a big gap between people, money and things with foreign research institutes? Hu Weiwu and his group said: "Because of my Chinese heart"! Due to the difficulty, long cycle and high cost of the development of processor chips, "there is no room for negligence. Sometimes a small oversight is a waste of millions of taxpayers' money. Therefore, leading a research group like Loongson to develop the complexity of a general-purpose processor requires great care. I live with trepidation every day, especially in the first few days of making fast film, and unexpected things happen almost every day. "In order to complete the task on time, the Loongson research group has been working six days a week for many years, working more than ten hours a day." For several years, I have deeply felt that for a person or a team, it is tolerable to work overtime for two or three months or even half a year in a row, but it is really difficult to work overtime with high intensity for several years in a row, especially the work carried out has great risks and uncertainties. "Hu Weiwu said with deep emotion:" I sometimes feel that I am more ruthless than Zhou, but the members of our research group are really desperate. On several occasions, I opened the door of the laboratory at six or seven o'clock in the morning and found some people leaning back in their chairs with a mouse in hand and falling asleep. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but want to cry. But I still woke them up and let them continue. "He remembers once, waiting for the computer to run out in the middle of the night, everyone chatted and talked about life and death." Some people say that they don't want to die of old age, watching their lives run out little by little. We have a view that we are so far behind now, and others are no dumber than us. If everyone works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up with them. The only way is to work as hard as'two bombs and one star 'back then. " Hu Weiwu often compares the CPU research group to a hard-bones company and himself to the company commander. He and his comrades have poured too much effort into Longxin. Working overtime for several days and nights has become the norm. "I eat and sleep in the office, and I take a break when I'm sleepy." Hu Weiwu said that he does not sleep the least in the research group, but also has a week without serious sleep experience. "The current processor design is like a book. Although the content is very good, it has not been printed, and 80% of the workload is still behind." In Hu Weiwu's mind, the government grasps the coordinated development of the software and hardware industries, supports the integrated development of basic software and hardware in core areas such as general CPUs, and finally realizes a harmonious situation of multi-polar and win-win situation in the industrial chain. This is the beautiful vision that he and his comrades-in-arms look forward to. What force supports Hu Weiwu and his group when Wen Jiabao inspects the "Longxin Research Group"? It is Mao Zedong Thought. The Chinese Communists, represented by Mao Zedong, use Marxist positions, viewpoints and methods to theoretically summarize a series of original experiences in China's long-term revolution and construction practice to form a scientific guiding ideology suitable for China's situation. "Most young people have their own idols, and the person I admire the most is Mao Zedong." Hu Weiwu denied the outside world's view that "talking about Mao Zedong Thought is hype and show", arguing that he sincerely admires Mao Zedong and learns from Mao Zedong Thought. "This is not for fun, nor for propaganda, but to guide our practice. Because without this idea, we cannot overcome powerful opponents and difficulties; as long as we adhere to this idea, we will surely win." Hu Weiwu believes that although the Mao Zedong era is gradually fading away, as a generation of great men, his ideas will continue to influence Chinese people today and even in the future. How to transform the attitude towards Mao Zedong Thought from a pure spiritual totem to a simple philosophy of survival wisdom and struggle, Hu Weiwu believes that this depends on working hard to improve one's theoretical cultivation in practice, innovating work methods, and constantly excavating those spiritual treasures and methods contained in Mao Zedong Thought that go beyond the specific time and space limitations, to inspire and inspire the younger generation: do not have to immerse yourself in the obscure theory of Western philosophy, as long as you are good at understanding Mao Zedong Thought, you can calmly face the setbacks and stumbles on the road to growth. Mao Zedong Thought was used by Hu Weiwu to guide the path of Longxin industrialization. He said: "If you are satisfied with being a small warlord and occupying a small territory as Mao Zedong said, Longxin can easily survive, but'Longxin 'is'fighting the country'. The Communists have gone through 28 years from the establishment to the founding of the country, and Longxin is also not satisfied with a small territory." He used Mao Zedong's "On Protracted Warfare" to write an experience "On Protracted Warfare of Longxin" to motivate himself, to motivate the team, and to build a complete industrial ecosystem around the Longxin processor. The Longxin research group has become a combat team, a team that can chew hard bones in scientific research work, and a team that is invincible and invincible in project research. In recent years, the Loongson Party Branch has won the Chinese Academy of Sciences "Outstanding Achievement Award", "Major Innovation Contribution Team", "Advanced Team for Innovative Culture Construction", "Advanced Grassroots Party Organization", "Central State Organ May 1st Labor Award" and "National Advanced Grassroots Party Branch" and other honors. The Central Organization Department also regards the Loongson Party Branch as a typical unit for implementing a long-term mechanism to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members. Hu Weiwu has won awards or honors such as the Central State Organ Outstanding Youth, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Outstanding Achievement Award and the "Chinese Youth May 4th Medal". In this regard, he views it this way: "Honor is like a loan in a bank. I shouldn't have so much, but it has to be lent to you, and it has to be repaid. Honor is of course a spur, but it is also a double-edged sword. We young people must not be killed by this thing. In fact, the farther away the scientific researchers are from this fame and fortune, the better. "Hu Weiwu believes:" Although we have achieved some achievements now, but Godson is still very weak, and it is only the first step of the Long March of Miles, but each of us is full of confidence to win, believing that China's own chips will surely open up a country and go to the world.
