Deep Stream Micro

Deep Stream Micro (Siroywe), formally known as Deep Stream Micro Intelligence Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., is a semiconductor company established in May 2021 with its headquarters in Shenzhen, China, and additional R&D centers in Beijing and Nanjing. The company focuses on the design and development of high-performance, domestically-produced, and independently controllable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This strategic direction aims to address a critical gap in China's domestic technology landscape, particularly in the high-end GPU market.

The founding team comprises seasoned experts from leading global semiconductor firms such as NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and Juniper Networks, with each core member possessing over two decades of experience in the chip industry. The CEO is Zhang Jian, who leads a team that covers the full spectrum of GPU design, including architecture, frontend and backend design, software, and algorithms. This extensive background has been pivotal in the company's ability to develop its proprietary 'Super Stream' (XST) architecture from the ground up, encompassing system, hardware, software, and microarchitecture.

Deep Stream Micro's business model is centered on providing high-performance GPU chips and comprehensive solutions. Its products are engineered to support a wide array of applications, including graphic rendering, image processing, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing. The company serves a market that requires powerful parallel computing capabilities, such as data centers, visual computing, and edge computing. Its product lineup is structured to address these specific needs with the "G series" for visual computing and metaverse applications, the "C series" for data center and general-purpose computing, and the "E series" for edge devices. The company has secured significant orders, including a notable contract worth over one hundred million yuan, indicating early market traction.

Since its inception, Deep Stream Micro has achieved several key milestones. It secured an Angel round of financing led by Oriental Fortune Capital in October 2021 and an Angel+ round led by Xingwang Investment shortly after. By December 2022, the company announced the completion of an A-round financing of one hundred million yuan, also led by returning investor Xingwang Investment, with participation from entities like 37 Interactive Entertainment. In July 2024, the company's project on developing independently controllable high-performance GPU chips was selected as one of the top ten industrial technology problems by the China Association for Science and Technology, highlighting its national strategic importance.
