The summit was attended by the Linux International Foundation, the RISC-V International Foundation and hundreds of scientific research institutes, enterprises, universities, industry associations, etc. from around the world. They came from the Open Atom Open Source Foundation, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Goldman Sachs, ByteDance, Inspur, SenseTime, Amazon, Bilibili, Lenovo Innovation, Shanghai Electric, iFlytek, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Mobile, China Telecom, etc. More than 800 guests on site and more than 50,000 online viewers witnessed the official launch of the "RISC-V International Talent Training Certification Center"!

Calista Redmond, CEO of RISC-V International Foundation, and Bao Yungang, Secretary General of China Open Instruction Ecosystem (RISC-V) Alliance and Deputy Director of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, delivered speeches online, affirming the key and leading role of this conference in the RISC-V industry ecology and talent cultivation. Yang Xuan, Vice President of the Asia Pacific Region of the Linux Foundation, delivered a speech on site and gave a keynote speech entitled "Unleash Your Potential: RISC-V Talent Cultivation in the Era of Big AI Models".

 

The following " RISC-V International Talent Training Certification" launching ceremony was a complete success with the witness and expectation of many guests. The center will rely on the advantages of domestic leading enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions to carry out RISC-V related courses, build a teaching system and establish talent certification standards to cultivate a group of chip talents with international competitiveness. At the same time, the center will also actively carry out technical practice, promote the application and industrialization of RISC-V technology, and provide talent support for the development of China's chip industry.

This ceremony is of extraordinary significance. It not only marks an important step forward for my country in promoting the development of open-source chips but also has attracted widespread attention from industry.

Guests at the event said that the establishment of the RISC-V International Talent Training and Certification Center is of great significance to promoting the development of RISC-V open-source chip technology in China and the world. They believe that with the promotion of the center, my country's chip industry will usher in new development opportunities and contribute Chinese strength to global scientific and technological development.

 

In the subsequent signing ceremony, Jiang Xuegang, director of the RISC-V International Talent Training Certification Center (China), signed a cooperation agreement with representatives of eight leading companies and institutions in the industry, including Open Source China OSChina, Beijing Suanneng Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong Saifang Technology Co., Ltd., Xiamen Open Source Chip Industry Promotion Association, Guangdong Jiangxinchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Runkaihong Digital Technology Co., Ltd., Hard Egg Innovation Group /Ketong Group, and Shenzhen Silicon Speed Technology Co., Ltd. The parties to the subsequent signing will jointly participate in the RISC-V industry talent training and certification work, and will give priority to talents who have obtained the RISC-V international talent training certification in future talent recruitment and employment opportunities, which is equivalent to obtaining an "employment express" admission ticket.

During the keynote speech session, we were honored to listen to authoritative researchers from academia, outstanding industrial technology experts in the field of technology, and top experts in the industry. They shared and discussed in depth the current development trend and prospects of the RISC-V industry, the cultivation of RISC-V talents, the path of corporate technological innovation, and the opportunities and challenges facing the RISC-V market. 

Liu Ming, director of ecological operations at the Patterson RISC-V International Open Source Laboratory (RIOS), believes that we should adhere to the concurrent cultivation mechanism of industry, academia and research and full open source development, and explore an independent training system for high-level integrated circuit talents.

 

Zhou Jianyang, doctoral supervisor at Xiamen University and deputy director of the Department of Microelectronics and Integrated Circuits, shared his thoughts on the full-process training course on SoC chip design based on the RISC-V processor core, as well as the specific contents of four training courses under development.

 

Wu Wei, ambassador of the RISC-V International Foundation, talked about the newly launched Jiachen Project (RISC-V Prosperity 2036), which aims to achieve an open standard system and open source system software stack covering the entire information industry from data centers to desktop offices, from mobile wearables to smart IoT based on RISC-V before the Year of the Dragon in 2036, so that the RISC-V software and hardware ecosystem can reach or exceed the ecological maturity of other mainstream architectures.

 

Zhao Xiangwei, vice president of software at Saifang Technology, shared Saifang Technology's RISC-V software and hardware ecosystem layout, and introduced Saifang's RISC-V teaching platform comprehensive experiment box, development kit, and supporting resources.

 

Yu Zihao, an engineer from the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave a detailed introduction to the planning and implementation of the “One Chip for Life” large-scale talent training program, and put forward suggestions for future industrial development.

 

Wang Xintong, director of the global ecology department of Suanneng Technology, shared the panoramic view of Suanneng Technology's RISC-V industry-education integration, and exchanged views on the company's industry-education integration strategy and how to effectively motivate university teachers and students and improve talent training.

 

Chen Renxiang, director of sales services at Deepin Digital Intelligence , proposed that RISC-V talent training should be promoted by accelerating the commercialization of RISC-V products, forming a multi-channel training channel led by the government, supported by institutions, and with enterprises as the main body, conducting parallel vocational education online and offline, creating more job requirements, and thus promoting the iterative progress of RISC-V technology.

 

The final roundtable session was hosted by Yang Xuan, Vice President of the Asia Pacific Region of the Linux Foundation.
