DPU chip company Zhongke's control number completed hundreds of millions of yuan B financing

Economic Observation Network reporter Shen Yiran on September 20, the reporter learned from the domestic DPU company China Science and Technology Division that the company has recently completed a round B -round financing of hundreds of millions of yuan. This is the third round of financing that the company has completed in the past year Essence The founder and CEO of the company said that this round of financing will be used to accelerate the R & D iteration and industrial layout of the DPU chip.

China Science and Technology Division was established in 2018. The founding team comes from scientific research institutes. The DPU chip focused on developing is a newly developed special processor in the world. In 2022, the company was awarded the fourth batch of new national specialized "little giants" enterprises.

The mainstream computing power chips in the computer include CPU and GPU. In simple terms, DPU is a dedicated processor that can help CPUs to share loads for networks, storage, computing, and security. As Moore's law approaches the limit, CPU performance growth is weak, but under the promotion of the digital economy, data and computing power have shown explosive growth. Born.

The company stated that this round of financing was led by the Capital Capital of Financial Street, and the CCB equity of the CCB of the Construction Bank was investing. This year's company's product progress is that the second -generation DPU chip K2 has voted at the beginning of this year and is expected to return the film in the near future. The third -generation DPU chip research and development iteration is nearing the end.

Qi Guihai said that, unlike mature chips such as CPU and GPU, DPUs are new technologies worldwide, and have not yet formed a market pattern of Western Qiang East weakness. Intel, Nvidia, Broadcom, and other international companies are layout. There is no gap with them, forming the intergenerational differences of technology. "With the maturity of technology, the DPU will also be standardized, but before that, Chinese companies still have great opportunities." Gui Guihai said.

The first batch of customers in China Science and Technology is mainly domestic financial enterprises. According to the company, as high -frequency volume transactions are becoming increasingly prosperous, the trading system has become more and more required for delayed performance. At present, the acceleration plan of pure software in the industry is encountered. Provide computing engines for high bandwidth, low delay, and data dense computing scenarios. Recently, the company's products and solutions have expanded to data centers and cloud native, high -performance computing, 5G edge computing and other scenarios.

According to the forecasts of overseas companies FUNGIBLE and Nvidia, DPUs used for data centers will reach the level of quantities such as data center servers. The server adds about 10 million yuan a year. Each server may not have a GPU, but there must be one or more DPUs, such as each server must be equipped with a network card. The server increases by about 15 million units each year. If each DPU is calculated in 10,000 yuan, this will be the market size of 100 billion levels.

Ji Guihai said that from the perspective of domestic demand, China has the world's strongest Internet industry, the largest netizen and online ecology, and may also become a huge market for DPU applications.
