Li Sanli was born in Shanghai on August 24, 1935, graduated from Tsinghua University in 1955, and received his Ph.D. from the Institute of Computing Technology of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1960
He was a professor at Tsinghua University and the dean of the School of Computer Science of Shanghai University, the chief scientist of the National Climbing Plan Project, and the convener of the computer discipline review team of the Degree Committee of the State Council was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1995
Li Sanli has been responsible for the development of continental tubes, transistors, LSI and VLSI four generations of computers
The 724 machine was the largest computer used in the country's cutting-edge technology in mainland universities in the 1970s
The raster numerical control computer 102 machine for processing important components increased the precision machining efficiency by dozens of times and had high social and economic benefits and enabled the mainland to enter the international advanced ranks at that time in this field
Since the 1980s, as one of the first and academic leaders in mainland China, he has made important contributions in the fields of microcomputer architecture, local networks, RISC and instruction-level parallel processing
In recent years, two of the supercomputers he has been responsible for developing have entered the world's top 500 supercomputers "Deep Super-21C" (2003, 146th) and "Self-Improvement 3000" (2004, 126th).
