In the context of increasingly fierce global scientific and technological competition, the chip industry, as an important yardstick for measuring the country's scientific and technological strength and industrial level, has become more and more prominent. In the face of the complex and changeable international situation and the growing demand for science and technology, the independent innovation and ecological construction of China's chip industry have become an urgent need for national development. It is at such a historical juncture that Loongson Technology Co., Ltd. is far-sighted and announced the launch of the "Chip Joint Laboratory of the 100-Core Plan", aiming to create an independent, open and collaborative chip ecological closed loop through the deep integration of industry, university and research, and inject strong impetus into the rise of China's chip industry.
1. Background and strategic significance of the times
With the rapid development of information technology, the importance of chips, as the core foundation of information technology, is self-evident. However, for a long time, there have been many shortcomings in China's chip industry in core technologies, high-end products and key links in the industrial chain, which have seriously restricted the independent and controllable development of China's information technology industry. Therefore, strengthening the independent innovation capability of the chip industry and building a complete chip ecosystem have become the strategic focus of China's scientific and technological development. The launch of Loongson Technology's "Chip Joint Laboratory of the 100 Core Plan" is in response to the call of the country, conforming to the trend of the times, and aiming to promote the leapfrog development of China's chip industry through industry-university-research cooperation.
2. the core content and implementation path of the "100 Core Plan".
The "100 Core Plan" is a long-term strategy carefully planned by Loongson Technology, and the core of this time is to establish close cooperation with 100 universities across the country to build 100 "chip joint laboratories". Based on the IP resources provided by Loongson Technology free of charge, these laboratories will jointly develop practical independent chips or application systems based on Loongson chips, so as to promote independent innovation and industrial upgrading of chip technology.

1. A model of deep integration of industry, university and research
The implementation of the "Chip Joint Laboratory of the 100 Core Plan" marks a solid step forward in the cooperation between industry, university and research. Through in-depth cooperation with universities, Loongson Technology can not only obtain cutting-edge scientific research results and technical support, but also be able to feedback the market demand and industrialization experience of enterprises to universities to promote the rapid transformation and application of scientific research achievements. This two-way interaction, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation model will effectively break the barriers of traditional industry-university-research cooperation and promote the deep integration of the chip industry and higher education.
2. Construction of independent chip ecosystem
Loongson Technology is well aware that the power of a single enterprise is limited, and only by building an open and collaborative ecosystem can a strong competitiveness be formed. Therefore, while promoting the research and development of independent chips, the "Chip Joint Laboratory of the 100 Core Plan" also focuses on building an ecosystem based on Loongson's independent chip IP. Through cooperation with universities, enterprises, scientific research institutions and other parties, Loongson Technology will gradually form an ecosystem covering the entire industrial chain of chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, application development, etc., and provide strong support for the independent and controllable development of China's chip industry.
3. Specific measures and results prospects
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the "Chip Joint Laboratory of the 100 Core Plan" and achieve the expected results, Loongson Technology has taken a series of specific measures:
1. Priority is given to supporting benchmark universities
The first batch of priority support will not exceed 20 universities, and these schools will receive special support from Loongson Technology, including all-round support in terms of funds, technology, and equipment. By creating a benchmark demonstration, Loongson Technology will lead more colleges and universities to join the "100 Core Plan" to form a scale effect and demonstration effect.
2. Strengthen experimental teaching and innovation ability training
Loongson Technology will provide experimental teaching courses based on LoongArch instruction set or Loongson chip application to help students verify theoretical knowledge through practice and improve their hands-on ability and innovation ability. At the same time, Loongson Technology will also provide a certain number of development boards and remote platform licenses to support the scientific research and teaching activities of universities.
3. Promote cooperation between discipline competitions and scientific research projects
Loongson encourages and supports students to participate in high-level competitions based on LoongArch software and hardware technology, such as the "Loongson Cup" National College Student Computer System Ability Competition. Through the form of competition, students' practical ability and teamwork ability are exercised, and innovative achievements are displayed. In addition, Loongson Technology will also cooperate with university teachers to carry out scientific research projects, jointly explore new application technologies, and promote the combination of production, education and research.
4. Application requirements and qualification review
The "100 Core Plan" is open to colleges and universities that offer computer, integrated circuit, electronic information, microelectronics, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other related majors. Colleges and universities applying for the application must have good professional ability and conditions, and be willing to localize computer, electronic information courses or related courses. Loongson Technology will conduct qualification review in strict accordance with the application requirements to ensure the quality and level of cooperative universities.
4. Conclusion
The launch of the "Chip Joint Laboratory of the 100-Chip Plan" is an important step taken by Loongson Technology in promoting the independent innovation and ecological construction of China's chip industry. Through the deep integration of industry, university and research and the construction of the ecosystem, Loongson Technology will contribute to the rise of China's chip industry. We have reason to believe that with the joint efforts of Loongson Technology and many partners, the "100 Core Plan" will achieve fruitful results and inject new vitality and hope into the development of China's and even the world's chip industry. In the future, China's chip industry will go further and further on the road of independent innovation and achieve more brilliant achievements.
