Corigine Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Corigine") is an innovative high-tech enterprise focusing on the R&D, manufacturing and sales of core IP of integrated circuits, chips and EDA tools. The company was founded in 2015 by Lu Sheng, an international senior expert in the field of semiconductors and who has successfully started businesses in Silicon Valley for many times.
Corigine gathers top scientific talents from around the world and has an international senior management team, many of whom have more than 20 years of experience in industrial management or entrepreneurship. At present, the company has set up R&D centers in Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Silicon Valley in the United States, London in the United Kingdom, Cape Town in South Africa and other places to form a global collaborative R&D network. There are more than 30 overseas chip experts in the team to ensure that the company continues to maintain a leading position in core technology research.
Focusing on key fields such as semiconductors, 5G communications, cloud data centers, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the company provides full-chain products covering chips, IP and system solutions, and has accumulated more than 60 patents and software copyrights at home and abroad, and has been recognized and ordered by many well-known customers at home and abroad.
Core products and technical advantages
DPU and SmartNICs
Corigine focuses on the independent R&D of data processing units (DPUs) and smart NICs, and its products have demonstrated excellent performance in multiple application scenarios such as cloud data center, network security, and SD-WAN. In cloud deployment, its DPU/SmartNIC can offload 30%-50% of the CPU computing pressure, but the power consumption is only 1/10 to 1/20 of the CPU, effectively helping users cut the deployment cost in half and greatly improve the operation and maintenance efficiency. At present, Corigine has obtained purchase orders from a number of leading domestic telecom operators, and has established in-depth technical cooperation with mainstream server manufacturers and Internet giants such as BAT and OTT customers.
Cybersecurity empowerment
Corigine's DPU chips are widely used in various network security devices, including firewalls, UTMs, fixed network taps, etc. Through hardware offloading, its chips can support high-performance rule matching, secure encryption and decryption, and deep packet inspection capabilities, helping to create next-generation virtualized firewalls, distributed IPS/IDS, and micro-isolation security products. At present, the company has carried out a number of cooperation with leading enterprises in the field of domestic security such as Sangfor, Tianrongxin and Venustech.
Container networking and load balancing
With its high programmability and offload capabilities, Corigine SmartNIC is one of the few products in the world that supports eBPF XDP offloading. Together with its self-developed JIT tools, it can help users quickly deploy high-performance container network and load balancing solutions, providing a solid foundation for cloud-native architecture.

TCAM chip
Corigine's self-designed TCAM chips are widely used in routers and switches. Its original Questfol algorithm has significantly improved the efficiency of ACL/LPM route search, and has received orders from well-known customers such as H3C, DPtech Technology, and Sinovatio.
RISC-V ecological construction
Corigine actively deploys the RISC-V industry and carries out in-depth cooperation with a number of chip companies. In the research and development of the second-generation "Xiangshan" Nanhu processor core, the company's self-developed MimicTurbo GT verification board played a key role in helping the technological breakthrough of China's RISC-V core ecosystem.
Technology and market advantages
Corigine is a global leader in the field of smart NICs, and its 25G smart NICs have passed rigorous testing and system integration evaluations by major telecom operators in China, and have become their core strategic partners. Based on the innovative multi-core SoC architecture, the company combines the high flexibility of FPGA with the low cost and low power consumption advantages of ASIC, and ranks among the global technology leaders.
In addition, Corigine has built an open and collaborative system in the software ecosystem, supporting mainstream Linux distributions and DPDK frameworks to ensure that the products are fully compatible with international standards at the hardware and software levels, helping customers quickly deploy and implement various advanced applications.
With its deep technical foundation and global vision, Corigine continues to promote local breakthroughs in core areas such as chip design, network processing, and system verification. Its DPU has formed a powerful combination with smart network cards, TCAM chips, verification platforms and other products, and is gradually building a key infrastructure platform for the future computing era.
