Big Country Intelligent Manufacturing

Chairman Chen didn't have any hope of his proposal, he just said it in passing.

But at this time, Xu Zhenming readily agreed, "No problem, Dong Chen. Let's go to lunch first, and then arrange time to go to the sharp 260MMXCPU laboratory in the afternoon."

"YES!" Chairman Chen shook hands with Xu Zhenming excitedly.This is the case with the elites of Bay Bay, who like to pop up an English sentence at every turn.

Xu Zhenming hates this behavior the most. Does the Chinese language fail to express meaning?However, seeing Chairman Chen's face again, he put aside this dissatisfaction.At about 1:30 in the afternoon, the two of them walked together to the Yiming Group Experimental Building and took the elevator to the elevator room on the 38th floor.

The 38th floor is a comprehensive laboratory for Sharp CPU, with CPU design center, CPU simulation laboratory, CPU performance demonstration laboratory and other departments.This place is the core area of ​​Yiming Group. Surveillance cameras are everywhere, the security level is extremely high, and there are very strict procedures for entering and exiting.

The corridor connecting the elevators is blocked by a glass wall, and visitors can only enter it through an electronic door.Through the glass wall and double-opening glass door, Xu Zhenming and Chairman Chen can directly see that the waiter at the front desk of the laboratory has served the bar.

The waitress sitting behind the bar saw Xu Zhenming leading the guests to stand outside the door. Instead of opening the door directly, she dialed the phone installed on the wall in the elevator.

"Xu Dong, what's your order?" When Xu Zhenming pressed the hands-free button on the phone, a very sweet voice of a beautiful waiter wafted from the phone.Although her question was very polite, she did not open the access glass door of the laboratory to Xu Zhenming.

Seeing this situation, Chairman Chen couldn't help frowning. "The employees of Yiming Group are so bureaucratic. Don't open the door when the boss comes?"

Although their VIA company also has this high-standard confidentiality management system, the clerk in charge of reception is much more flexible than the beauty in front of her.

At this time, Xu Zhenming seemed to accept this treatment calmly."You call Director Zhou and ask him to arrange someone to be a tour guide. I want to take the guests to see the progress of the R&D of the Sharp CPU project." He commanded lightly, not at all impatient.

Not long after, Zhou Jiawei, wearing a white dust cap and a white lab coat, hurriedly walked to the vicinity of the glass passage and opened the double glass door button for Xu Zhenming himself.

Even so, Xu Zhenming and Chairman Chen also signed their names on the visitor's registration book, so as to complete the registration procedures for entering the laboratory.

"Xu Dong, the security procedures of your group are very strict. It is worth learning from our company." After experiencing this set of procedures, Chairman Chen expressed his feelings.In general, he did not agree with the benefits of Xu Zhenming's doing this.

But at this time, Xu Zhenming nodded in agreement, "If you don't do this, you can't do it, Chen Dong. Since our Yiming Group Company became famous, we have found that there are many unkind visiting scholars and guests.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Chairman Chen seemed to be hit by something in his heart.He is the kind of visiting scholar with good intentions mentioned by Xu Zhenming, who wants to spy on the research and development process of Suzaku CPU.

This... This is a bit embarrassing.

But who is Chairman Chen?He is a well-versed business elite, and he is also a technical expert in microelectronics. Not only is he technically good, he has also been trained, and he is immune to ordinary language attacks.

Ever since, Chairman Chen followed Xu Zhenming without blushing and breathing, and came to the first studio designed by Sharp CPU.

There are about two hundred engineers working in this studio, all of whom are staring at the computer screen intently and operating the computer.

"They are still designing the logic unit of the CPU? What's the matter?" Chairman Chen couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this scene.

Chip logic unit design is the first step, the most basic foundation.The sharp 260MMXCPU claims to have completed the design process, and the following process is taped out.From this point of view, Xu Zhenming did not tell him the truth, that this sharp CPU was not ready for release at all!

"Xu Dong, according to your request, we will add a 128K level one cache to this sharp CPU as a basic function. There are currently 180 people doing this work, and the design task and verification work should be completed around 10 o'clock tonight. At this time, Zhou Jiawei, who was in charge of the tour guide, briefed Xu Zhenming on the situation with a smile.

He told Xu Zhenming that because Yiming Group used its own Longteng EDA software to design the CPU chip, temporarily adding a 128K primary cache logic unit to the sharp series CPU can achieve seamless connection.

In addition, Mingxin Manufacturing Company has already provided the Foundry process technology plan, this time adding the logic unit of the first level cache and the second level cache will not take much time.According to Zhou Jiawei's prediction, they will complete the design and verification of the cache increase within 5 working days.

hiss……

Hearing this conversation, Chairman Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "How is this possible? The most important thing in chip design is to set up a logical framework, formulate the chip instruction set, and then design the physical circuit. How can it be like this? Yiming Group Company is in such a mess?"

In an instant, Chairman Chen felt that his three views had been subverted.According to his educational experience and years of experience in chip design, the sharp series of CPUs designed by Yiming Group must have defects, and I don’t know how many bugs there are!

Out of conscience and out of curiosity, Chairman Chen couldn't help it, "Director Zhou, this will affect the complexity of the sharp CPU verification process. How can the logic framework be changed at will?"

"Haha... it doesn't matter. My Longteng EDA software system supports automated smart chip design. All our logic units are modular in design. You can add and delete logic units at will. After the design process is completed, the following work will be handed over to the large The computer is done."

But at this time, Zhou Jiawei told Chairman Chen a shocking news.According to him, the Longteng EDA software system is a mess, and can automatically design chips.

Isn't this a fantasy?

Chairman Chen found it incredible, "Director Zhou, are you saying that Longteng EDA is intelligent software, can it automatically design CPU?"

"Yes. This EDA software is independently developed by us and has this function, but we generally don't use it. After all, the use of silicon wafers is not efficient for chips automatically designed by the software system."

"Huh? There is this kind of magical software? How much is a set?" After Chairman Chen heard the words, he immediately became interested.VIA itself is a design company for CPU chipsets and needs this EDA software system.

What's more, he just bought Cyril from the U.S. natives, and he has a more urgent need for a smart chip design system such as Longteng EDA.

If Zhou Jiawei's words are true, no matter how expensive Longteng EDA is, he must buy a set with Xu Zhenming back.Even if you pay no hesitate to pay!

And his mentality at this time is exactly what Xu Zhenming expected.
