Chapter 40: Wonder Boy
The news of the young man from Xia Guo who designed IC chips live in the Jinsha exhibition hall finally plugged in his wings at noon and flew all over the exhibition halls.
Although it is a World Distributor Conference, not everyone understands IC design, and even more people don't even know what EDA is. But when it comes to a young man who intends to complete a team's work for at least a month in one day, everyone's knee-jerk reaction is impossible, this person is crazy, this is not a person.
But that young man was there, doing it right under the noses of countless people.
Believe it or not, people are there.
......
Xi Xiaoding stood not far behind Su Yuanshan, in the center surrounded by a crowd - behind him, a crowd of hundreds of people surrounded him.
"Xiao Ding, you'd better persuade him, I'm afraid he will collapse if he goes on like this. β
It was a Chinese man in his early thirties next to him who spoke, and the tag on his chest showed that he was from TI and his name was Shengguang Peak.
"If I get into this state, whoever talks to me will beat him. Xi Xiaoding's voice was very low, and his tone was very light. He stared at Su Yuanshan's shadow reflected on the monitor, and a trace of envy and worry rose.
He knew that Su Yuanshan had forced out all his potential and strength - of course Su Yuanshan was not as temporary as the rumors outside, and he designed a chip on the spot as soon as his brain was hot. All the design schemes of this main control IC have actually been completed, and Su Yuanshan is only now implementing it on EDA.
In fact, Su Yuanshan also consulted him about the algorithm last night.
But Xi Xiaoding didn't expect Su Yuanshan to work so hard at all, and dared to use one day to complete all the layout and design of a master control IC from scratch - if you don't use Yuanxin EDA, it will take ordinary people about ten days. With telechips, this time will be cut by at least half.
Sheng Guangfeng smiled, patted Xi Xiaoding's shoulder, stared at the screen and stopped talking.
Some of the people behind him left, but more came.
IBM, APPLE, Cyrix, MOTO, Bell, SONY, NEC, SAMSUNG, UMC, ......
And, of course, the called AMD, who has long been here.
All the people involved in chip design gathered together to pay attention to this teenager who is pushing the limits of human design.
Someone has already given him a nickname, Oriental Wonder Boy.
......
Su Yuanshan knew that there were many people behind him, but he didn't have the extra energy to pay attention, all his spirit and all his physical strength were focused on design.
After two mistakes in succession in the debugging, Su Yuanshan licked his lips, knowing that he had reached the limit, and if he continued, he would only become more and more confused. But he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then bit his lip, forcing himself to stay awake.
After the circuit layout and winding were completed, Su Yuanshan set the debugging parameters and pressed the simulation.
As the green base color rises, thin lines represent the flow of current and data to the chip, revealing strings of data.
Su Yuanshan knew that he couldn't stand up at this moment, he just turned around slowly, and blood slowly rose on his pale face. He looked at the designers who were looking at him in silence, and smiled and spat out a few words.
"I'm done, what about you?"
Xi Xiaoding smiled and began to applaud.

Yang Yiwen helped Su Yuanshan into the organizer's office amid applause, and behind her, Director Yu and Professor Li Gaoliang, as well as several staff members of the Consulate San Francisco, followed closely. Everyone's face looked serious, but the excitement and excitement in their eyes could not be suppressed.
"You really are...... Don't die. Yang Yiwen took out chocolate from her bag and handed it to Su Yuanshan, and handed him a can of Coke. She knew that Su Yuanshan was a little hypoglycemic.
Su Yuanshan buckled the can twice without buttoning it, and a pair of big hands on the side immediately took it and opened it for him.
"Thanks, it's fine. He tilted his neck and poured down half a bottle of Coke, feeling that his strength had recovered a lot, and looked up at everyone with a smile.
Director Yu, Professor Li, from the Consulate, and other members of the delegation.
Everyone looked at him with a smile β a look of confirmation, the kind of pride and pride that looks like a World Champion.
"Rest for a while, and we'll talk about the rest when we get back. Director Yu stepped forward and patted Su Yuanshan on the shoulder, revealing a meaningful smile.
After all, there are still staff members of the organizer in this office, and they can't praise Su Yuanshan for winning glory for the country in person.
"Hmm. Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile, said sorry and began to close his eyes.
With the exception of Ms. Yang and a consulate clerk, the others walked out of the office and went to the Yuanxin showroom, which has been turned into a wet market, to help sell.
Su Yuanshan's design is a new project from scratch, and there is no fraud - even if everyone knows now that the layout concept of this chip has been designed a long time ago, and it may even have been completed once, these designers also know that even if they copy homework, it is a dream to complete it in one day.
But Su Yuanshan finished it. He live-streamed how an EDA software could be used to complete work that would take at least 10 days or more for peer software.
- As he said, "I'm done, what about you?"
- We're all in the same boat, I'm already in a sports car, what about you? Do you still want to ride a bike?
......
Austin, Texas.
On the sixteenth floor of an ordinary business building, there is a very inconspicuous sign.
Sematechγ The full name is Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology - Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Strategic Alliance.
Founded four years ago, this strategic technology alliance composed of more than a dozen leading companies in semiconductor manufacturing, such as IBM, Intel, HP, Samsung, and TI, has guided the Star Flag Country and its allies to advance by leaps and bounds in the semiconductor industry.
Coincidentally, there is not a single company in the alliance.
A middle-aged white man angrily hung up the phone, took a few deep breaths, and began dialing.
"Downer, I have a suggestion that Sematech shouldn't just be limited to semiconductor manufacturing and design companies, we should have a bigger vision. β
"For example, we should bring in the best in the EDA industry. β
"What? Don't you know that Xia Guo's wonder boy? A Xia Guo's EDA is enough to double the design efficiency of chips! That's twice the time!"
"I really don't know how those EDA companies that grew up eating did it, they said they got the news two months ago. Some people even went to Bell to carry out on-site operations, but so far they can't even imitate it, which is a joke. β
"Okay, OK. β
Hanging up the phone, the white man lit a cigarette and frowned deeply.
As Sematech's technical director, he certainly understands what a good EDA means for the semiconductor industry β based on predictable integrated circuit trends, EDAs will take on increasingly important pre-silicon design and verification work in the future.
Such an important tool software actually put an unknown small company in Xia Guo at the forefront!
For the Stars and Stripes Nation, the birthplace of semiconductors and programming, this is a great irony.
After thinking about it, the man continued to pick up the phone.
"Bresman, are you on the scene? Ask if that far-core EDA is willing to sell. If you want, say that IBM can give generous terms. β
"Yes, it's generous. β
