Nestled by the tranquil Wanquan River in Beijing, I had the privilege of meeting Ji Yu for the first time. His resume is nothing short of impressive: a former 'Genius Youth' at Huawei, an expert in the Ascend compiler, a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Tsinghua University, and a recipient of the prestigious CCF Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award. Two years ago, Ji Yu embarked on a new journey, leaving Huawei to found Xingyun Integrated Circuits, a venture focused on the independent research and development of GPUs.
