XPENG is a leading smart technology company at the forefront of innovation, integrating advanced AI and autonomous driving technologies into its vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and robotics. With a strong focus on intelligent mobility, XPENG is dedicated to reshaping the future of transportation through cutting‑edge R&D in AI, machine learning, and smart connectivity.

Our pioneering first‑generation NPU, utilizing DSA architecture, has successfully entered mass production. We're currently validating the architecture of our second generation and are making the strategic decision to transition towards General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) architecture.

We're completely overhauling our software stack and embracing the CUDA ecosystem. Our goal is to achieve over 90% compatibility with cuBLAS/cuDNN on Linux across PCIe and CXL connections, all while delivering at least 1.3 times the performance of existing solutions on Transformer and Stable‑Diffusion workloads.

• Software Technical Strategy – Develop and refine a comprehensive 3‑year roadmap for a software stack compatible with CUDA, encompassing Runtime, Driver, Compiler, Profiler, Debugger, and AI acceleration libraries – Define binding specifications that link our upcoming GPU ISA to CUDA APIs, ensuring forward compatibility with CUDA 12.x features – Evaluate and integrate the latest technological advancements: CUDA Graph, Transformer Engine, virtual memory management, CUDA dynamic CUTLASS 3.x,
  
  TMA, Blackwell FP4, among others.
• Architecture & Design – Create a modular, layered Runtime architecture: CUDA → HAL → Kernel → Hardware, applicable across emulators, and actual silicon – Define the task launch protocol, including Queue, Stream, Event, and Graph, as well as the memory model – Design a dual‑mode (JIT & offline) compiler supporting LTO, PGO, Auto‑Tuning, and efficient PTX → ISA microcode caching – Develop GPU virtualization schemes (MIG) that work across processes and containers.
