Integrated General and Intelligent Computing: Breaking Through the Bottlenecks of Next-Generation Computing Infrastructure
Moving beyond traditional hardware-software adaptation, the two parties will enter a new stage of full-stack, deep collaboration spanning from underlying architecture to top-level platform, with a focus on advancing the following strategic directions:
Rebuilding the new computing foundation: Launching joint R&D initiatives on underlying technologies that fuse general-purpose and intelligent computing. ZStack's cloud and AI infrastructure software will deepen low-level microarchitecture optimization with Hygon's high-performance computing chips, delivering a highly reliable, highly concurrent, out-of-the-box autonomous general-purpose computing foundation that continues to underpin the digital backbone of businesses across all industries.
Co-developing industry innovation solutions: Focusing on pillar industries such as finance, telecommunications, energy, and transportation, the two parties will establish joint innovation mechanisms. By deeply integrating their respective technical strengths, they will accelerate the development of joint solutions that balance "stable core production clouds" with "agile AI-driven innovation," elevating autonomous computing power from "fundamentally viable" to "business-empowering."
Accelerating the adoption of benchmark scenarios: Drawing on their respective product strengths and industry expertise, the two parties will rapidly replicate jointly validated solutions to more core business scenarios, accelerate the accumulation of industry benchmark practices, and drive the domestic software-hardware ecosystem from "basic compatibility" toward "deep optimization and large-scale commercial deployment."
02 / SHARED VISION
Executive Alignment: Safeguarding Digital China with a Fully Self-Developed, Full-Stack Approach
Wang Wei, CTO of ZStack, stated: "As the industry evolves from cloud computing toward AI-driven intelligent computing, enterprises' infrastructure requirements are changing. General-purpose computing power that stably supports core businesses remains essential, while AI training and inference have introduced new demands for computing resources. How to achieve efficient synergy within a single infrastructure system has become a real challenge that enterprises must solve. ZStack has consistently adhered to the independent R&D of cloud foundation software, building strong product capabilities across cloud platforms, virtualization, and AI infrastructure. This deepened strategic partnership with Hygon will further advance the technical synergy between domestic chips and cloud platform software, improve the resource utilization efficiency and product delivery capabilities of heterogeneous computing power, and enable autonomous computing to better support the core businesses and AI applications of critical industries including finance, telecommunications, energy, and transportation."
Li Yadong, Vice President of Hygon Information Technology, stated: "Computing power is the core driver of new-quality productive forces, and heterogeneous computing synergy together with the efficient flow of computing across networks are the keys to unlocking its full potential. Hygon has achieved continuous breakthroughs in high-performance CPUs, heterogeneous DCU computing units, and next-generation DPUs. Through this comprehensive strategic partnership with ZStack, the two parties have not only achieved a seamless closed loop and extreme optimization of the underlying technology architecture, but also set a exemplary model for collaborative innovation and secure, autonomous control across China's IT industry chain. Moving forward, the two parties will work hand in hand to continuously enrich the landscape of China's autonomous computing ecosystem."
Looking ahead, ZStack and Hygon will remain committed to an open, win-win ecosystem philosophy, continue to intensify technological innovation, and pursue a development path that places equal emphasis on general-purpose and intelligent computing. Through deeply integrated hardware-software computing products, they will inject powerful momentum into the high-quality growth of China's digital economy.
