Kunpeng spreads its wings and walks with youth | Kunpeng University Tour Shanghai Jiao Tong University special session explores technology, practice and innovation

On the afternoon of December 4, the first stop of the Kunpeng University Tour series of activities came to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Kunpeng University Tour·Jiaotong University Station is hosted by Shanghai Kunpeng Ecological Innovation Center, Shanghai Yikewan Technology Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Jiao Tong University Inspirational Forum, and co-organized by Huawei Shanghai Research Institute. The event invited many senior experts in the Kunpeng field to the scene, not only to introduce the industrial ecology and development trends of Kunpeng computing to teachers and students, but also to deeply analyze the principles of software migration by listing classic cases, and propose solutions for each link. Finally, the basic situation of Huawei's current campus recruitment was introduced to college students, and the industrial prospects of the "Kunpeng Ecosystem" were envisioned to help them find better jobs in the future. This special event of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University University Tour attracted more than 500 Jiaotong University students to participate online. Even under the influence of the epidemic in the cold winter, the charm value is still "off the charts".

Speech by the leader of the Innovation Center

The event invited Wen Xin, CEO of Shanghai Kunpeng Ecological Innovation Center, to give a speech. Wen pointed out that this year's epidemic has made more people realize the power of the computing industry. The Shanghai Kunpeng University Tour aims to cultivate high-end technical talents, promote Kunpeng ecology and Kunpeng computing to college students, and provide an open learning and communication space to stimulate creative inspiration and empower industrial development. Shanghai Kunpeng Ecological Innovation Center looks forward to attracting more outstanding talents to join the Kunpeng ecology, helping Shanghai become a new highland of domestic computing power and ride the wind and waves in the global trillion computing industry.

Kunpeng Knowledge Classroom

Cheng Shuofeng, senior engineer of Huawei Kunpeng Big Data Solution, took the lead in sharing "Kunpeng Big Data Solution and Open Source Practice". His speech focused on two parts, namely the development of Kunpeng Big Data ecosystem and Kunpeng Big Data related features. Cheng Shuofeng said that Kunpeng fully supports open source big data, and the Kunpeng open source community also accepts the ARM ecosystem. He particularly emphasized Kunpeng openLooKeng unified and efficient big data SQL analysis engine, which can provide users with seconds-level ad hoc query response speed, while avoiding complex ELT processes and reducing repeated data migration. More importantly, it will not affect users' current business.

In addition to technology, Cheng Shuofeng also shared a lot of open source big data practices, including SM4 national encryption acceleration, EC solution ISA-L library, HBase memory backup, etc. Taking the application scenario of SM4 national encryption acceleration as an example, many government agencies, finance, medical and other industries currently need to encrypt data. The national encryption patch has been merged into the open source community code trunk. Kunpeng big data encryption technology has realized software encryption, which can be used directly without modifying the big data software, and the same interface can also be seamlessly replaced.

Xue Yonghui, architect of Huawei Kunpeng Mathematics Library, gave a wonderful speech on "Kunpeng Acceleration Library Technology and Application". He started with a math problem about rabbit reproduction and explained to the students in a simple way that simply improving the computing power of the hardware cannot achieve the goal of quickly solving the problem. It is necessary to improve the computing efficiency of the basic software library by changing the data structure and algorithm of the software code. "In order to make the user interface faster and cheaper, it is necessary to use the best software implementation (acceleration library) to reflect the best performance of the hardware and provide the best service." He pointed out, "This is especially true when the current CPU development is facing bottlenecks."

After introducing the value of the acceleration library, he also shared the scope of the acceleration library, the key technologies used, and the current application of the Kunpeng acceleration library. According to him, the current Kunpeng acceleration library mainly includes hardware acceleration + software acceleration library, and 10 acceleration libraries have been completed, which can perform deep performance optimization on the software basic library and build the performance competitiveness of common software libraries on the Kunpeng platform.

Career seminars

Finally, Wang Ruopeng, senior recruitment manager of Huawei Shanghai Research Institute, started from three questions: "What can the continuous progress of science and technology bring?", "What kind of platform is Huawei?", and "How to choose the starting point of a career?" He shared with the students the opportunities and challenges that a senior HR of Huawei sees in the current era. Mr. Wang pointed out that innovation, challenges and responsibilities are everywhere in the current world. Huawei looks forward to more fresh blood joining in, adhering to the Huawei spirit of "rooting down and breaking through the sky", and jointly devoting themselves to driving future development with technological innovation and creating a new era of computing power.

Surprise interactive session

During the live broadcast, in order to give everyone motivation to learn, the conference affairs team arranged a lucky draw session at the summary of each course and prepared various exquisite gifts for the students. The students in the live broadcast room were very enthusiastic in the lucky draw session, which brought a different kind of fun to the fulfilling learning.

The "Kunpeng" of a thousand years ago carried Zhuangzi's lofty aspirations and elegant feelings; the "Kunpeng" of a thousand years later carries the Kunpeng ecosystem with heterogeneous computing as the core, and software development and cloud service provision as the branches and leaves, to realize the beautiful vision of "Digital China".

The 2020 "Kunpeng University Tour" series of activities is committed to bringing this beautiful vision to campus, strengthening school-enterprise cooperation, helping universities cultivate scarce talents in the computing industry, and leading more talents to join the heterogeneous computing industry in the new era.

In December, Kunpeng’s college tour continues!
