On December 27, 2019, Shenzhen Toploong Technology Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Housheng Fumin Data Technology Co., Ltd. jointly released a new independently developed eyeball55 FPGA chip at the Tongying Intercontinental Hotel in Sanlitun, Beijing, and showcased the edge X HPC equipped with the AI chip, the first AIOT information device - eyeM5 5500 FPGA. The multi industry computing solution based on AI self-developed chips and a technological ecosystem has made its debut in China for the first time.

Lin Guowen, Chief System Architect of Housheng Fumin Data Technology Co., Ltd., summarized the current development trend of AI chips at the press conference. He stated that the explosive growth of data poses a severe test to the computing ability of devices. Previously, low energy and high consumption CPUs/GPUs were already difficult to succeed, and there was an urgent need for new system platforms to support AI algorithms and applications. Therefore, the development trend of advanced computing capabilities is beginning to move towards FPGA. At present, eyeM5 edgeX has gradually developed into a complete technology ecosystem. The digital economy intelligent business infrastructure developed by Housheng Fumin Data Technology Co., Ltd. includes eyeball55 AI chips, eyeM55 550 FPGA artificial intelligence motherboards, eyeM5 5500 artificial intelligence servers, and digital asset certificate custody centers. The product solutions cover smart finance, smart agriculture, smart healthcare, smart cities Five major industrial directions for smart commerce.

In terms of technological form, the AI Inside60 engine technology for promoting health and enriching the people can effectively meet the integration and application of algorithms, big data, blockchain, and artificial intelligence in multiple directions. The new self-developed eyeball55 FPGA chip based on this technology adopts AI algorithm edge processor chip design, supports 10G/100G fiber optic network communication and IPFS blockchain decentralized storage, and can perfectly meet environmental requirements such as network security, digital voucher encryption security, and cryptocurrency. It meets the development direction of data security, data privacy, data permission definition, and easy data pricing.

The new generation of eyeM5 information devices using this chip are equipped with the autonomous architecture of Zhongxiangmi Linux OS operating system, which supports no hard drive startup and has significant advantages of high computing power and low energy consumption. Each device only consumes 1.92 kilowatt hours of electricity per day, equivalent to 5% of the same computing power GPU devices, undoubtedly significantly reducing costs and increasing gross profit margin. Meanwhile, the ultra-high energy efficiency ratio eliminates the need for fans to actively dissipate heat, further reducing noise intrusion.

Regarding product advantages, Zhang Binglu, Sales Director of Shenzhen Toploong Technology Co., Ltd., added that FPGAs represented by eyeM5 have unparalleled advantages over traditional GPU computing devices in terms of energy efficiency ratio, profit margin, product warranty, etc. At the same time, they also provide services such as operation and maintenance room technology, near unmanned management, automatic warning, and ETC algorithm software upgrade.

Taking the production scenario of the Eyeball55 single chip product as an example, with a power consumption of only 60W, it can achieve a maximum of 330Mh/s computing power, which is equivalent to the eight card Nvidia P104 GPU computing device. However, the latter has a power consumption of up to 1650W, which not only poses challenging issues such as heat dissipation and noise, but also consumes nearly 5700 yuan in annual electricity bills. However, the annual electricity consumption of the EyeM5 is only about 430 yuan, indicating an extremely high return rate and low operation and maintenance costs.

In addition, the differentiated product form of edgeX will meet the production needs of different industrial application scenarios and customers. Zhang Binglu said that edgeX products currently include three types: one computer with one card, one computer with four cards, and ultra-thin desktop. Different products can play various roles, such as artificial intelligence computer, artificial intelligence server, ledger communication development, financial transaction terminal, Internet of Things edge computing, and high computing computer, to provide a complete commercial deployment scheme.

At the meeting, Lin Guowen also presented cases of Housheng Fumin's artificial intelligence model library in areas such as facial recognition, autonomous driving, and video analysis, and stated that Housheng Fumin has collaborated with multiple mainland and Taiwan universities and institutions such as Renmin University of China, Xiamen University, and Taiwan Financial Research and Training Institute on technology development and teaching of projects such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, quantitative finance, and smart contract ledgers.

In the future, the cooperation between Housheng Fumin and Toplong will continue to promote ecological products, and its new products such as IPFS distributed storage and AIOT computer will be launched one after another before the first half of 2021. At the end of the press conference, BMJ Corporation and Topdragon Technology Co., Ltd. held a strategic signing ceremony, marking BMJ Corporation's long-term strategic investment in Topdragon Corporation in the future.
