Global monopoly of technology

Now the person in charge of the "ACC" project is Lu Siming, one of the five early start-up team members of Bluestar Technology, and Luo Sheng was transferred from Bluestar Technology shortly after the establishment of the Blue Coast.

ACC project department.

"Boss, the Cell chip has been reborn in our hands. The performance is quite powerful. There is no pressure to carry ACC to become the next-generation host this year. There will be no competitors on the market. But it is still an old problem. Engineers all over the world have already The engineers who are accustomed to the x86 architecture and are willing to come to our platform to develop software, apart from our own, there are probably very few third-party developers, and the dark history is too bad.” Lu Siming reported a good news, and also said that he has been The problem of concern.

In fact, this is the topic that the entire ACC project team members are most concerned about, because they are on the front line and know the situation best. Up to now, only more than 800 engineers in the world can play with the Cell chip architecture.

These more than 800 people are on the Côte d'Azur and are in the ACC project team. Since they are in charge of this project, they have felt that the Cell architecture is full of deep malice against them every day.

Imagine that a senior engineer wants to throw away all his previous life learning and then learn again. How much courage and perseverance will it take to make this step?

As for other engineers in the world, the answer is absolutely unwilling.

Human beings like a comfortable and comfortable environment, unless they can't live, they will realize the change.

So is it because of the x86 architecture?Or do you have a tendency to abuse the Cell architecture?

"We don't need engineers from all over the world to understand the Cell architecture. We develop a super compiler to handle all this." Luo Sheng said lightly.

Hearing this, Lu Siming said weakly: "Boss, the project team thought of this solution early and tried many times, but... it's too difficult, we can't do anything."

The implication is that this path has been tried, but it has also failed.

Luo Sheng glanced at him: "It's you, I'm not among them."

Lu Siming was slightly confused: "Huh?"

Luo Sheng stopped talking, came to a work computer, opened his personal cloud server with his hands quickly dancing on the keyboard, and said with a smile: "I know you can't handle it, so I've done it."

Hearing this bland remark, Lu Siming's eyes suddenly rounded: "Boss of Ma Ya, Wo, are you done?"

While speaking, Lu Siming's eyes quickly aimed at the screen, and a download progress bar appeared on the screen at this moment.

After a while, Luo Sheng stared at the screen and smiled: "Okay, this is the first official version. Show it to the project team for everyone to read it. I haven't gotten the patent yet. You can let people arrange the patent issues clearly. in vain."

At this moment, Lu Siming said with exaggerated expressions and actions: "Boss, I knelt down for you, the five-body cast is really..."

The rhythm that Lu Siming was really about to kneel down, but he was kicked by Luo Sheng before he landed on his knees, and finally failed.

translater.

Just as you want machines to understand human emotions, then there needs to be a "translation" between the two parties to act as a bridge for human-computer interaction, which is the so-called compilation technology in industry jargon.

Through compiling technology, high-level languages ​​such as C and Java can be converted into low-level languages ​​that the machine can understand, and complex and delicate codes can be converted into binary instructions of 0 and 1, thereby eliminating communication barriers and tame the machine.

It can be said that the compiler is the bridge between the software and the chip, and its performance efficiency directly affects the operating efficiency of the machine.

If you think of a compiler as a translation, it is like a person goes to a country where the language is completely unsuccessful. Originally, communication can only be carried out through translation software (virtual machine), which will inevitably be inefficient.The compiler is more like allowing him to directly acquire local language skills, so he can get rid of translation software (virtual machine), and communicate with local people more freely, and at the same time, he does not have to learn the local language painfully.

Lu Siming picked up his personal ieP work tablet and slid it a few times, and curiously said, "Boss, why is it called'Ark Compiler'? Ark, this name is too westernized, and demanding netizens will definitely use this to spray."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "What you want is the effect of westernization, do you know the story of Noah's Ark?"

Lu Siming: "Of course... Hey, boss, I understand haha, Noah's Ark, which means you board the ship as soon as possible. Don't blame the labor and capital for not taking you to play when you are late. Ark, the name is simply clear and tell the industry. People hurried to board the ship and to open a new era with us."

Luo Sheng glanced at him and said with a serious face: "Smart baby."

When Lu Siming heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head in a naive manner, because he always felt that the boss was mocking his IQ, but he didn't feel angry at all. Let alone his boss, Luo Sheng was silent. I got such a super compiler without ringing, and I instantly felt my IQ was completely exploded.

Not convinced.

In fact, Luo Sheng can't do it so quickly by himself. He has too much work every day, and a single project section will not take up too much time for him. No way, there are too many industries under his control.

It is naturally inseparable from the assistance of AI Xiaona to get it so fast.

"That's right, in front of you, the boss, our IQ is indeed the same as a baby, hehe." Lu Siming licked decisively.

"It's all right." Luo Sheng shook his head helplessly.

After a while, Lu Siming said: "By the way, should we rename the Cell chip? After buying it from Sony, we have almost completely reconstructed the core. There are not many Sony genes in it. It doesn’t feel right to use this name. It’s too cheap for Sony. What do you think is better to rename it?"

Luo Sheng stared at the opponent for two seconds, then shook his head and resolutely denied: "No need to change, just use the current name."

Lu Siming was puzzled: "No? Why? Then in the future, won't all the reputation and reputation of Sony be robbed of Sony?"

Very do not understand the thinking of the boss.

Luo Shengle said haha, "You are right, but do you know why I decided to use my original name?"

Lu Siming: "Why?"

Luo Sheng: "I want to piss off Sony, Toshiba and IBM, so I can make up for how Sony will see this situation in the future? Three liters of blood vomiting are all light, haha!"

Sony had to pay for the 30% premium that year. However, Sony had too many choices at the time. If Sony imposes additional conditions to restrict Luo Sheng from entering the home console market, he would not want the Cell chip business, and delay it by one or two. Entered the market in 2010.

So Sony has no choice.

Lu Siming's eyes rolled away: "Fuck, that's the case, isn't this a bit too cruel, it's just killing people."

Luo Sheng put away his smile, took a glance at the other person, and said calmly: "I'll ask you if you feel comfortable doing this? Are you energetic? Are you looking forward to it?"

Lu Siming suffocated for a long time and answered honestly and unkindly: "It's cool, it's so exciting, don't expect too much."

Luo Sheng retracted his gaze and said to himself, “It’s not just for angering Sony. When the other person is irritated, emotions often influence the brain, and reason tends to take the second place. When I am left by the side instead of being dominated by reason, it is often the beginning of making mistakes. Once a competitor makes a mistake, isn't it an opportunity for me?"

The boss is really sinister, this old man.

Lu Siming listened to a sneer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, unless his skin was itchy.

After the episode, Luo Sheng commanded: "Xiao Ming, you go to the ACC project department heads in a hurry to the conference hall, and a meeting in half an hour."

Lu Siming: "OK."

The focus of the discussion in this conference is the press conference this fall, the official launch of the first generation of ACC game consoles, announcing to the entire industry that the Blue Coast has officially entered the home game console industry as the first party.

The location of the conference was finally determined at the conference, not in the mainland, but in Europe. The specific location is Cologne, Germany.

It must be said that the third hardware electronics product of the Côte d’Azur cannot be released in the Mainland because the domestic game console has not been lifted. Since 2000, the mainland game console sales ban has been ten years since it took effect. It will be three or four years before the ban is lifted.

Luo Sheng also does not want to use his influence to speed up the speed of lifting the ban, not to mention that he will be severely criticized by parents like the last time the layout of e-sports. The most important thing is a very realistic problem.

Even if the ban is lifted now, few domestic players will buy it. One is that the piracy problem cannot be solved, and the other is that PC games are becoming more and more abundant. Players have developed a game free props charging mode, so that mainland players have not played yet. You have to pay for the game, and 99% of players cannot accept it.

Habits are really terrible things.

Therefore, the market for the first-generation ACC console can only be 100% released in the international market. As for the mainland, let's look at it after ten years.

It is worth mentioning that the best location for this conference should be Los Angeles, North America. The E3 game show just ended in June this year.

But since the last experience, Luo Sheng didn't want to go to Lao Mei's site to play, and it would be fun if he didn't come back then. Luo Sheng didn't want to add chaos to the country.

Thinking about going, there are only two locations left, one is Japan and the other is Europe.

It was finally determined to be in Cologne, Germany. This city is also a city with a strong gaming atmosphere. Other game exhibitions have also been held here, including the local Cologne Game Show which is also very famous in the industry.

And in October this year, Cologne will hold the third WRPO World Number One Player Tournament, which has begun to warm up in August.

The WRPO event has been successfully held for two sessions, and it is now the highest stage in the minds of e-sports people. It is also the Olympic Games that has replaced WCG and is known as the e-sports field. The venue for the fourth session has been selected, which is in Seoul, South Korea.

And this year's Cologne, Germany, is destined to be focused by countless players, whether it is e-sports players or host players.For this year's global game console market to usher in a new first party is definitely the biggest historical event in the field of home game consoles in 2010.

The ACC project plan is highly confidential. Now Luo Sheng has not concealed it. He has directly chosen to declare the Côte d'Azur to be the first party in the most high profile way like the entire industry.
