Chapter 102: The Storm
HKUST High-tech Building. Chen Yue's office.
Wang Wen of Chen Yue's Alpha team reported in a low voice, "The engineering samples have flowed out, and according to the architecture of the processor, they agreed to authorize us to use the hard core of the processor, but the result of the current negotiation is limited to the university plan authorization, that is to say, it is limited to research and teaching in the field of university IC, if you want to apply the commercial field, you also need commercial licensing, which is difficult to discuss, and the price will increase exponentially." ”
Chen Yue said, "This is not a problem for the time being, it is enough to have a university teaching authorization, and we will talk about it slowly in the future, I guess they are also here this way......
ARM company is also temporarily out of reach, in the Nanzhou boundary of the affairs that appeared, the chip has an initial authorization to block the mouth of the mouth is enough, because once their chip is released, based on what architecture must not be hidden, you use the ARM architecture, then naturally you need to have a license, they first talk about the next authorization, as for the specific details of the operation based on this authorization, it is expected that ARM will have no time to take care of anything else.
Wang Wen nodded, "Yes, it is precisely because of the lessons of the fragmentation of the MIPS ecosystem, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, ARM has strict authorization restrictions, and for general authorization, partners can participate in the formulation of the instruction set, but it is forbidden to modify it privately, and can only contribute new instructions designed by themselves, but whether it can be added to the instruction set is decided by ARM through negotiation." But I know that some companies claim that they can expand the ARM instruction set, that is, they add new instructions privately, but they are only used by dedicated systems, and they do not affect the ARM ecosystem, which is probably okay, and ARM will not come to trouble and threaten their ecology, and they will probably turn a blind eye to it......"
"Now that's the only problem. Engineering samples are available, but there are still many features that we can't implement during testing...... A lot of the debugging IP interfaces are not open, so there are not many things that can be done......"
The source of the source code is the tacit forbidden area of the participants of the entire chip R&D center, so of course it can explain why many functions of the engineering samples that are flowing out now cannot be realized, and there will be so many defects.
"That's true for us, it's the same for the other side, and as things stand, their source code hasn't been sampled yet. We're going to go faster. Chen Yue said. According to the equipment of the chip research center of the Institute of Microelectronics and the hired alpha team, he Chen Yue naturally has more resources than Nie Yun's team, and they all got the foreign ones, the domestic ones, and even the engineering tape-out ones as soon as possible.
"If there is a problem in the engineering sample, we will adjust it later. Now it's time for us to catch up with the 863 project, and with the existing features and samples, the results can be released. ”
Chen Yue raised his head and looked out the window, "There is only one position...... Whoever occupies it first will have only one way down the mountain for those who are behind. ”
……
In February, the auditorium of Jinjiang Hotel, known as the Nanzhou Government Hotel, was hosted by the Information Office of Nanzhou Municipal Government, and invited the Ministry of Science and Technology, the government, and people from the science and technology education circles to hold a press conference on China's first self-developed high-end embedded chip.
In fact, most of the people present at the venue have already received relevant news in advance, and even after some internal games, they have come to accept the relevant figures who have come to accept the honor.
At the same time, the expert group that came to the site for inspection is basically in this situation.
Guoxin No. 1 was inspected and released by the relevant expert group.
In the words of countless reporters present at the time, it can be regarded as "born out of nowhere!"
Various mainstream newspapers and media have reported on this whirlwind rolled up in the flat land of Nanzhou.
"China Science and Technology News" reported: "...... The birth of this chip with independent intellectual property rights means that in related fields, the pattern of imported chips dominating the world will be broken, and China will enter the international competition stage in related embedded chips, which is an important milestone in the history of China's chip development!"
Capital Daily reported, "...... In the future, ordinary citizens will be able to enjoy the benefits of embedded "Chinese chips" in the field of information home appliances, first of all, in the field of mobile phones, MP3, digital cameras, inverter air conditioners and handheld computers, equipment using domestic chips will be cheaper, and secondly, it may also save electricity bills! The power consumption of products will be reduced by half...... It is reported that next year, Guoxin No. 1 will also achieve a higher degree of integration, driving the development of composite products such as video + CD player......"
"Guoxin No. 1 was born at the right time!"
"Guoxin No. 1, the trendsetter of the IC era. 》”
“……”
News and accolades snowflakes appeared in newspapers and magazines.
As with all major reports of technological breakthroughs, all related to Guoxin 1 is followed by a scene of a man who has won the Tao and a chicken dog ascending to heaven, and HKUST has instantly entered people's field of vision and once again led the limelight for a while.
Nanzhou has become the land of Longxing, which once again proves the necessity and importance of the IC industrial park in Nanzhou, and the IC-related subject industries have quickly been continuously reported in the news, and some have even reached the point of intensive science popularization.
The science and technology community is excited because of this news, and the media has also amplified this excitement, driving the enthusiasm of the whole people, and at the same time popularizing knowledge points for the country's ongoing industrial policy, setting off the public attention of the industrial breakthrough.
Many ordinary people may have never heard of IC before, but since the second uncle and third aunt around them are discussing this topic, everyone has a general impression of semiconductors and integrated circuits.
That's the heart of modern society.
It is the core cornerstone of various electronic products and systems that penetrate into all aspects of people's modern life, such as computers, automobiles, televisions, mobile phones, home appliances, power grids, medical instruments, robots, and industrial control.
In the era of "digital globalization", something the size of a small fingernail is the core technology that restricts the development of a country's science and technology and high-end industries!
"China can't make such a small thing! These are in the hands of others, embargo you, technology restricts you, you can get stuck if you want it...... There is a long way to go!" The uncle who plays chess at the gate of the community will discuss this matter a few words.
Even if a professor at HKUST develops such a chip, it is only a breakthrough in related fields, and the difference between people is still very big and far away in more and larger territories......
Of course, Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, the first step of the long march. This step can be regarded as a step...... Congratulations.
……
Even the waves of the outside world are also applicable in the University of Science and Technology, Chen Yue, who was originally the dean of the Institute of Microelectronics, as a special appointment of the University of Science and Technology, now that the results have come out, everyone in the University of Science and Technology is known, and the media have come one after another, and the University of Science and Technology and Chen Yue are almost the sweets in the eyes of reporters, interviews, speeches, and various meetings, Chen Yue is in the limelight for a while.
And among the chip team of Tianxingshe, the atmosphere of pessimism and despair is spreading.
Because Chen Yue's so-called Guoxin No. 1, which is now well-known to HKUST, displays many of the technologies and functions advertised, which is simply the embedded chip that Nie Yun's team is working on at this time. Even many patented technologies are theirs, but the patent applied for by Chen Yue's Guoxin No. 1 is more like a variant based on their patent.
The morale is low, and many people probably still can't believe it, could it be that the "take-it-or-leave-it" was appeared in the dean-level figure of the same university?
But the problem now is that through the press conference in Nanzhou City, Chen Yue stirred up the storm, and now he is like riding the wind and waves, and he is wrapped in countless dazzling halos.
The many research achievements of HKUST at this time seem to be overshadowed by the current Guoxin report. It's not as good as that kind of scenery.
And what can they do? Crash into this light, lest they be torn apart by the storm.
But not without all sorts of private remarks.
At the top of the University of Science and Technology, Cheng Ran did not take the initiative to look for it, but Huang Pei came over first and sat down with Cheng Ran to talk.
"I have heard about some things in the laboratory, and I have also received some feedback...... "Naturally, there are currently more than 30 researchers in the Nie Yun chip laboratory who are conducting research and development around embedded chips, Chen Yue's Guoxin No. 1 is undoubtedly a blow to them, many people are angry, and in a university, of course, there will be a report letter sent to the school's top management.
The school has received these letters, Huang Pei's coming should be a signal, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that the school will not respond to this at all, but Cheng Ran is different in the end, and the whole system involved in Cheng Ran is very large, and the school will inevitably respond.
"But the current situation, you know, Dean Chen's side has passed the expert certification test, and the leaders of all parties are present, if you want to overturn this conclusion...... There's so much involved...... And most importantly, there must be evidence. ”
Huang Pei couldn't say much, so he could only click on it.
This is also his greatest sincerity, because from the perspective of HKUST, even this kind of questioning voice does not want to be heard.
"Do I need to talk to Dean Chen? Cheng Ran asked.
Huang Pei looked at him, and said after a while, "Of course I hope that you can solve this kind of thing, whether there is a misunderstanding or not, it is best to be open and honest...... Well, it's better to meet, and I'll arrange it. ”
In this way, after Chen Yue recently returned to HKUST after attending a meeting, Cheng Ran came to the door.
