On April 23, at the first Digital China Construction Summit held in Fuzhou, China Electronics 38, the actual digital signal processor with the same computing performance as the industry's most powerful digital signal processor, Soulcore A, was released. With its own design, it can complete 100 billion floating point operations in one second. The single-core performance exceeds the performance of similar chips on the international market by 4 times.
High-performance chips are hailed as 'industry forage' and represent a national level of information technology. All along, China has always relied on imports in high-performance digital signal processors (DSPs). Twelve years ago, 38 companies began to enter digital signal processing. In the chip field, in 2012, the Institute introduced the first practical high-performance floating-point general-purpose DSP chip, the “Soul Core One,” independently developed by China, and its performance was 4-6 times higher than similar DSP chips of the same period, and it was successfully applied. It has become China's first high-end autonomous digital signal processor that is widely used in defense technology equipment in China's Air Force-500 Early Warning Aircraft radar and other defense technology equipment.
'Soulcore No. 2 A' adopts a full-autonomous system architecture and lasted six years. It has broken through a number of technical problems, such as controller design. It has obtained more than 30 scientific and technological achievements such as national technological invention patents and software copyrights. It has the strongest performance in the industry at the moment. The DSP core achieves the surpassing of the performance indicators of similar products at home and abroad. Compared to 'Soul Core One', the performance of 'Soul Core II A' has increased by 6 times. Through single core multi-core expansion of computing components, upgrade instructions. System and other means, so that the device performance of one hundred billion floating-point operations at the same time, has a relatively good application environment and debugging means; single-core implementation of 1024 floating-point FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) operation requires only 1.6 microseconds, computing performance than Dezhou Instrument company TMS320C6678 is 3 times higher, its actual performance is 1.7 times, and its device data throughput rate is 240Gb/s.
As a general-purpose DSP processor, Soulcore II A will be widely used in high-intensity computing such as radar, electronic countermeasures, communications, image processing, medical electronics, and industrial robots. Currently, it is being used in various major equipment and image processing fields. Promote use.
China Electronics Engineering Chief Scientist, Hong Yi, chief designer of 'Soulcore No. 2A', introduced that the introduction of 'Soulcore No. 2 A' made the software radio move from ideal to reality. The function of the chip was gradually determined by software algorithm updating. It lays a solid foundation for the establishment of independent system high-end DSP product lineage in China.
