In TSMC's Hsinchu test workshop, Belawell saw the picture of the test on the microcomputer for the first time.

Huaxin Technology designed a test software similar to doughnuts, the software continuously generates triangles in the limit state, and then fills the coloring and mapping, so as to test the performance of the display chip.

"God, what did I see, and how did you do it?"

Belavill walked briskly over to the microcomputer, and inside the open case, he saw an incredible graphics card.

The technical staff of Huaxin Technology introduced on the side: "Mr. Bellawell, the platform you see is based on the Intel Pentium 586 computer, and the test graphics card is based on the Fission Display Core of Huaxin Technology, with a frequency of 133MHZ, which can perform 2 million floating-point operations per second, generate 400,000 triangles, and fill in the coloring ......"

With an expression of disbelief, Bellavel looked at the staff, this product was completely beyond his expectations, he didn't expect that Huaguo's enterprises could design such excellent products.

Seeing that Hunter was happy, Belavill couldn't wait to try it out, turned his head to the technician next to him and asked, "Young man, can I try it?"

Seeing the affirmative nod, Bellavill hurriedly began to operate the computer.

In the test program in OpenGL mode, Belavill enters a command to generate a 300,000-triangle cube, and almost instantaneously the graph appears in the window, followed by the texture coloring, which is basically a reaction in seconds.

"300,000 triangles is almost no pressure on this graphics card, God, it's almost time for a minicomputer!"

Bellawill raised the bar again, typed the command, and generated a sphere of 2 million triangles, this time it took a little longer, but basically it was in an acceptable range, and it took several times as long to color the texture, and the final rendered graphics appeared on the computer desktop, and Bellavel didn't know what to say.

"With this graphics card, you can move your graphics workstation to a microcomputer platform, and oh my god, it's an epic change. ”

Wang Anran heard the news of Bellavil's arrival, returned to the test workshop as soon as possible, and heard Bellavil's emotion as soon as he entered the door.

Wang Anran followed Belavier's words and said with a smile: "Dr. Belavier, this graphics card is for the home entertainment market, we have cut off some double-precision floating-point computing units, in fact, it can be more capable of more complex working environments with only a few changes!"

Belavill turned to Wang Anran and asked, "You mean its performance can still be improved?"

Wang Anran nodded, game graphics cards and professional graphics cards can be the same, although the market demand for professional graphics cards is small, but the profits are large, and the cost has not increased, but the price of professional graphics cards is ten times that of ordinary graphics cards, how could Wang Anran let go of this market.

"Do you have the graphics card you said had better performance?"

Wang Anran shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't expect Belavill to be an impatient.

"Dr. Bellawell, I think you'll see it soon, and when the time comes, I'll send you a graphics card like this in my personal capacity. By the way, let me know, my name is Wang Anran. ”

"Hello, Mr. Wang, Belavier, thank you for your generosity, I hope that day will not be too long......"

…………

In TSMC's meeting room, the two sides had a simple meeting.

Bellavel began: "Mr. Wang, I guess you must have been in the United States, and from your accent, I seem to see the vast prairies of the western United States. ”

Wang Anran smiled and said, "Mr. Bellavel, if I say that I haven't been abroad yet, do you believe it?"

Belavill shook his head, "Okay, Mr. Wang, let's talk about your product, great product, can you tell me, why did you choose OpenGL as the application programming interface for your graphics card?"

Wang Anran shrugged his shoulders and said: "Because it is excellent, just like our graphics card products, I think their combination is the same as Scarlett and Rhett, it can be said that it is a match made in heaven." ”

Bellavel smiled, nodded, and said, "I agree with you, Mr. Wang, your analogy is very appropriate, but I am more concerned about how we can cooperate more closely in the future to facilitate the wider promotion of the OpenGL program interface." ”

Wang Anran likes the straightforward style of foreigners, what are the requirements to talk about, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

"Mr. Belavier, your question seems to be beyond the scope of our conversation, Huaxin Technology is not a voting member of the OpenGL Architecture Review Committee, and we do not seem obligated to promote the OpenGL API standard for you. ”

Bellawell shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now that you are, I can guarantee that Huaxin Technology can soon join the OpenGL family." ”

Wang Anran asked, "Dr. Belavier, I'm talking about voting members, are you sure?"

The voting members of the OpenGL Architecture Committee are not the same as the ordinary members, and anyone who uses the OpenGL architecture program interface can be ordinary members, and their position is the audience, they can point fingers on the sidelines, but what they say is useless.

But the voting members are different, they can say no to the new features of OpenGL, and even the powerful ones can lead the development of the OpenGL architecture.

Huaxin Technology naturally looks down on ordinary members.

Bellawell's face froze for a moment, and he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Wang, frankly speaking, the OpenGL Architecture Committee has a strict review process for new voting members, which I can't control, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to promote this process......"

Wang Anran shook his head and said, "Dr. Belavier, I'm sorry, I reserve my opinion until Huaxin Technology is confirmed to be a voting member of OpenGL. ”

Belavill tried to persuade again, but was interrupted by Wang Anran, who now needed to be strong enough to lead the conversation.

He needs to explain that Huaxin Technology can not need OpenGL, but OpenGL is inseparable from Huaxin Technology.

"Dr. Bellawell, in fact, Huaxin Technology has more choices, for example, Glide graphics program excuses are also good, and the functions are even richer than OpenGL.

Oh, by the way, I heard that Microsoft is working on the Dircet multimedia interface, which not only provides excellent graphics program interfaces, but also provides video and audio ......"

Bellawell's face darkened, and he found it difficult to talk to the young man in front of him, who seemed to be aware of all the embarrassment that OpenGL was facing.

After Wang Anran finished speaking, Belavill said weakly: "Mr. Wang, I need to make it clear that Microsoft is also a member of the OpenGL architecture committee, and it is also a voting member. ”

Wang Anran stretched out his index finger, waved it in front of Belavi, and said, "No, Mr. Belavi, it may not be a ...... soon."

In fact, Microsoft didn't quit the OpenGL Architecture Committee until after 2000, but Microsoft's ambitions in multimedia architecture programming interfaces are well known.

Belavill was powerless to refute, he knew very well that what the young man in front of him said was true, OpenGL really needs to be promoted with the help of the other party's products, and the other party can turn to other camps.

If this is the case, OpenGL will undoubtedly face a strong adversary, and the difficulty of promotion will undoubtedly increase geometrically.

The more Belavill thought about it, the more urgent he felt, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, I need to report our conversation to the committee, and please give us a little time to think about it." ”

Wang Anran was very satisfied after hearing this, changed his aggressive momentum, his face turned into spring breeze, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dr. Bellawell, you haven't eaten yet, Huaxin Technology has prepared a delicious steak, please be sure to enjoy it." ”

"Forehead ......"
