The award ceremony of the CPU design competition of the 6th "Loongson Cup" National Student Computer System Capability Challenge (NSCSCC) was held online on August 21. The competition attracted 146 teams from 54 universities nationwide.

Two teams from the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University entered into the finals of the competition. The team "ZenCove", composed of undergraduates Cui Yikai, Zhang Wei, and Wang Tuowei, took home the special prize of the finals, and the team "Vivado2019.3", composed of Ding Shaofeng, Tian Kaifu, Wen Bosi, and Xu Chenxi, claimed first prize. Three teachers, Chen Kang, Lu Youyou and Li Shanshan won the excellent instructor prizes.

The finals of the compiler design competition and the award ceremony of the operating system design competition of the NSCSCC were both held online on August 22.

The compiler design competition attracted 152 teams from 62 universities nationwide. Two teams from the Department of Computer Science and Technology entered into the finals. Among them, the team composed of undergraduates Jiao Jinghui, Wang Jiannan, Wang Ziyuan and Li Xinlong took home the competition’s special prize, the team composed of Fan Ruwen, Zhang Qihao, Xu Wenbo and Hao Zixu won the first prize. Associate professor Chen Yu won the excellent instructor prize.

In the operating system design competition which contains two race tracks, 110 teams from 68 universities participated in the OS kernel implementation race track, and 242 teams from 76 universities signed up for the OS functional challenge race track nationwide.

Four teams from the Department of Computer Science and Technology successfully entered into the finals. Among them, team “Maturin”, composed of undergraduates Bi Haoyang and You Yuyang, won first prize in the OS kernel implementation race track, and team “QUINT”, composed of Xiang Chendong, Wang Zhidong and Sun Xun, won first prizes in the OS functional challenge race track.

The team, composed of Sun Yutao and An Yifan, as well as the team of An Zhida won the third prizes in the OS functional challenge race track. Two teachers, Xiang Yong and Chen Yu won the excellent instructor prizes.

Jointly initiated by the Ministry of Education and the expert group on system capacity development research, the NSCSCC is the only national competition for university students to independently design a general-purpose CPU, an operating system, and a compiler, with the aim of advancing the training of innovative talents in the computer field.
