Gpus can not only be used for games, but also become increasingly important in high-performance computing, AI acceleration, professional rendering and other fields, and foreign high-end Gpus have been banned, domestic demand for high-performance Gpus is increasing, and now domestic GPU company Jingjiawei announced that it has raised 4.2 billion yuan to research and develop high-performance chips.

According to Jingjiawei's announcement,The company intends to raise a total of 4.2 billion yuan from no more than 35 specific parties,And no more than 30% of the total shares of the company before the issuance shall be invested in high-performance general GPU chip R&D and industrialization projects as well as the construction of general GPU advanced architecture R&D center.

The raised funds are mainly used in two parts, among which the research and development and industrialization of high-performance general purpose GPU chips are organized and implemented by Changsha Jingmei Integrated Circuit Design Co., LTD., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jingjiawei.

The total investment amount of this plan is 3.78 billion yuan, of which 3.26 billion yuan is raised for the purpose of independently developing high-performance GPU chips for graphics processing and computing applications.To achieve supporting applications in large games, professional graphics rendering, data center, artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and other fields.

The construction project of GPU advanced architecture research and development center was entrusted to Wuxi Jinzhiyuan Electronic Technology Co., LTD., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jingjiawei, with a total investment of 964 million yuan, including 945 million yuan of raised funds.

The plan is to establish a forward-thinking technology research and development center to meet the future needs of high performance computing and data processing.

By carrying out research and development of "high-performance computing core architecture research and development", "universal computing library and driver research and development" and "high-performance GPU compiler research and development" and other research and development topics, master the cutting-edge core technologies related to the advanced architecture of general GPU, enhance the company's further layout in the field of general GPU chips.
