(Reuters) — China has achieved a series of breakthroughs in core electronic devices, high-end universal chips and basic software products in the past decade.
China’s Ministry of Science and Technology, together with Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, held a press conference to release the achievements Monday in Beijing.
In the past decade, the gap between home and abroad core electronic devices has shortened from over 15 years to five years. Independent support rate of core electronic devices used for supportive equipment has gone up from less than 30 percent to above 85 percent.
Chinese new supercomputer, Sunway TaihuLight, won four consecutive championships among world top 500 supercomputers, fully achieved the localization and independent development of both software and hardware, with its CPU peak computing speed having reached 3 trillion times and key technology a leading level in the world.
The property of home-made CPUs such as Phytium and Loongson has also improved greatly. These CPUs have been widely applied in key industries including electricity, civil aviation, and transportation.
