Huang Lingyi, the "Mother of Chips": Free from Western Chip Monopoly, "Longxin 3" Surprises the World
Born in the midst of war, Huang Lingyi was determined to serve her country at a young age
Born in 1936 in Nanning, Guangxi, Huang Lingyi was born into a family of high-level intellectuals with a good family background, her father was the founder of the Guangxi Museum, and her mother worked in the Guangxi Chemical Research Center.
With the war expanding, the enemy army gradually penetrated deep into the hinterland, countless Chinese families suffered from the ravages of war, Huang Lingyi's childhood life is not stable, in order to avoid the enemy attack, the young she often followed her parents to flee around, the relentless war took countless lives, Huang Lingyi had watched his compatriots were hit by enemy fire, the war's cruelty is forever engraved on her mind. The cruelty of the war is forever engraved in her mind, which is an indelible memory.
After the end of the Sino-Japanese War, the lives of the Chinese people were gradually stabilized, and the standard of living was further improved, and Huang Lingyi entered the school gate, She studied hard, got good grades, and had a strong interest in mathematics, science and chemistry.
In 1958, Huang Lingyi graduated from Huazhong University of Technology with honors, and was praised by her teachers for her scientific achievements, and went on to study semiconductors at Tsinghua University, where she was recruited to study semiconductors, which is a new discipline created by the motherland for the development of science, and recruited graduates from various universities.
Huang Lingyi completed her studies at Tsinghua University in 1960, and her research on semiconductors has become more in-depth and thorough, and her solid academic background and pursuit of her dreams have given her confidence in developing and making breakthroughs in the field of semiconductors. Then she returned to her alma mater and created the first semiconductor lab in China while teaching and educating people. Although the lab environment was simple, Huang and her team were full of enthusiasm, and eventually the semiconductor diode was successfully developed.
Huang Lingyi's talent in the field of microelectronics was valued by the state, In 1962, Huang Lingyi entered the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and in August 1965, the Institute of Computing came into being, which was China's first microchip research team, Huang Lingyi, a talented person, was entrusted with the task of developing semiconductor diodes, which was a challenge and a test for Huang Lingyi.
The successful development of semiconductor transistors, followed by the difficult journey into the chip development
The semiconductor transistor research is far more difficult than the development of semiconductor diodes, Huang Lingyi day and night to run in the forefront of research, she and the team firm confidence, determined to complete the task as quickly as possible, and ultimately, under the leadership of Huang Lingyi, the development of the semiconductor transistor is a challenge and a test, and she has been working on the research of the semiconductor transistor. Under the leadership of Huang Lingyi, the semiconductor diode was successfully launched in less than a year, and August 1966, China's self-developed space computer was successfully launched.
In 1973, the Chinese Academy of Sciences decided to develop a large general-purpose computer, as a carrier on the integrated circuit, the chip is widely used in various fields, the country's scientific and technological development has an important significance. All countries in the world have invested a lot of money and strength in the research of the chip, especially the United States and other developed countries, with their own advantages in the field of chip breakthroughs, and there are research and development results about the chip is also confidential.
Huang Lingyi and her team in order to be able to develop a stable performance as soon as possible memory, night and day in the laboratory research, of course, Huang Lingyi know that this is a difficult task, but also a great project, they are in a race against time, but also in the race against themselves. For the honor of the motherland, Huang Lingyi led the team to explore little by little, and finally the memory was successfully developed, they developed the chip is about to reach the world's advanced level, and in 1978 won the National Science Congress Award for Major Achievements.
Huang Lingyi won the time, but lost to the reality, in 1984, in the transistor research and development breakthrough, the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the research of large-scale integrated circuits to discuss , in the meeting Huang Lingyi firmly showed that the research work of the Institute of Computing Chip is critical, However, the final results of the meeting
The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list.
In the upper echelons of the organization, Huang Lingyi and her team members were transferred to other departments, however, Huang Lingyi's heart is still attached to the development of China's chip. In 1989, at the age of 50, Huang Lingyi was invited to attend the International Chip Show in the US, where she saw chips from many countries on display.
The advanced chips from Europe and the United States took up almost all of the spotlight, but there were no Chinese chips on display, and only a few people came to visit the country to learn, and at that moment, Huang Lingyi's heart was incredibly touched, because she knew that in 1963, China's IC research level was almost in sync with that of foreign countries, and now there is a huge gap. , since that day, Huang Lingyi rekindled the fighting spirit, determined to design a high level of domestic chip, for the honor of the motherland.
Dedicated to the development of the chip, joined the "Dragon Core Group", the development of a real China Chip
In 1990, Huang Lingyi dedicated to the development of various integrated circuits, she led the team to develop a variety of types of chips have also been obtained. In 2000, the Chinese chip won a silver medal at the International Invention Fair held in Nuremberg, Germany, which made her very happy, but also triggered her to think more, Huang Lingyi wants to research a more practical, higher level of technology chip.
Individual power is limited, the power of the group is strong, In 2002, the 66-year-old Huang Lingyi met with Professor Hu Weiwu of the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICCS), who is also the chief designer of the Longchip, and graduated from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China (USTC) with a strong interest in computers. China's first and foremost leader in the industry.
Hu Weiwu initially wanted to enter the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICC) because he had heard that the Institute would develop computers, but when he entered the Institute, he realized that he had not caught up with the times, and that the Institute did not make computers anymore. It can be said that Hu Weiwu missed the era of computer manufacturing, but he waited for the genius scientist Huang Lingyi in that era.
When Hu Weiwu heard that Huang Lingyi was about to retire, he invited Huang Lingyi to participate in the development of the chip in the LongXi group, and Huang Lingyi was impressed by Hu Weiwu's conviction. "The first step in the process was to create a new chip that could be used in the future.
Data Ready, the world's leading provider of advanced connectivity solutions, was founded in 2001 by Hu Weiwu, with the goal of achieving independent innovation in Chinese chips, and joining the Data Ready group.
After joining the "Dragon Core Team," Huang Lingyi was infected by this group of young people with great dreams and perseverance. She has always regretted the chip development work that she once missed due to the interruption of funding, but she firmly believes that she can succeed this time.
Long-term high-pressure work has made Huang Lingyi's body become weak, but Huang Lingyi is always concerned about the process of the Dragon Chip, worrying about it, she determined to go to the forefront of the research, that a piece of paper, boring drawings, complex processing formula in her eyes is the best tranquilizer.
With the successive introduction of the Dragon Boost chips, China's chip technology has been steadily improving
On August 10, 2002, the Dragon Boost 1 was successfully developed, ending the history of China's computer family as a "coreless" device. "
Data Ready is the first step in the development of a new generation of graphics cards for the Windows Vista platform, and the first step in the development of a new generation of graphics cards for the Windows Vista platform. "
These are the first time I've ever seen a computer with a PC, and I've never seen one before.
In 2003, when Huang Lingyi's team was in the initial stages of developing Dragon Boost 2, the relentless SARS outbreak occurred, and people all over the world were in the midst of the battle against SARS. The SARS outbreak was a special moment in the world's fight against SARS, and the country's economic performance was also affected.
In 2005, the successful development of LongXi 2, the LongXi series created a precedent for foreign licensing of China's core computer technologies, and achieved tremendous economic benefits, which provided strong financial support for LongXi's subsequent research and development, and demonstrated that LongXi has a significant market share in the global market.
Relatively speaking, the technical difficulty of the DragonChip 3 processor was significantly higher than that of the DragonChip 1 and 2 processors, with many failures.
The first time I saw a new product, I was able to get it to work. But in order to prevent foreign capitalists from monopolizing the Chinese chip market, it is necessary to develop a higher level of chips.
In 2018, "Longxin 3" was developed successfully, 82-year-old Huang Lingyi proved that China's chip technology to a higher level , very good to open up China's chip market, so that our country saves a few trillion dollars to buy chips from abroad,. At the same time, the birth of the "Longxin 3" to China's high-speed rail, Beidou navigation escort, so that the domestic technology to protect the motherland's barrier to get rid of Europe and the United States and other developed countries in the chip aspects of our country's constraints.
Chip manufacturing is known as the "heart of the modern economy," mastering the chip technology to grasp the pulse of the information industry, Huang Lingyi realized her many years of wish, further rid of Europe and the United States and other developed countries on the control of China's chip industry, but also proved the strength of China's scientific research. The company's newest product is a new generation of chipset technology. In January 2020, Huang Lingyi became the recipient of the CCF Xia Peisu Award, and her whole life has been dedicated to the development of China's chip technology.
A small chip cohesion of China's most cutting-edge scientific research power, China's chip development road, although not flat, but in our scientists' dedication to hard work, has gradually caught up with the production level of the developed world, the road at the foot, the will in the heart of the young generation of scientists has been gradually growing, the future of the China Chip R & D road will be the group of heroes gathered, more and more bright.
