One of the original intentions of Huaxin Technology is to cultivate a group of high-quality chip design talents for the society, so until now, there has been no threshold for personnel flow.

The market derived from the microcomputer is too big, as long as you have the ability, can smell the business opportunities, and can organize your team, Huaxin Technology will naturally raise your hand in favor.

This is also Wang Anran's attitude.

Of course, today's scene left a deep impression on the entire "Immortal Bird" project division.

Xie Ruhui was very unconvinced, and even wanted to just pick a son and quit, but thinking that he was dragging his family and taking care of his mouth, and now he still had a lot of salary in his hand, he still sighed when he thought about it.

Wang Anran doesn't care about this, you still have to work, if you have the ability, Huaxin Technology will not force you to stay.

"Mr. Xie, I need a detailed progress report on the 'Immortal Bird' project, half an hour, I will only give you half an hour. ”

Wang Anran drank a cup of coffee in the lounge, and Xie Ruhui walked in with a large pile of information.

"Mr. Wang, do you want to go to the conference room?"

"No, just here, you call the seven team leaders and deputy team leaders, and we'll talk here!"

After a while, the first group is the register and branch prediction design group, the person in charge is Liu Mingming, the second group is the logic operation unit and the standby logic unit design group, the person in charge is Bao Wei, the third group is the logic control unit design group, the person in charge Zhang Tianfu, the fourth group is the bus communication design group, the person in charge Li Jin, the fifth group of the general control unit design group, the person in charge Huang Shengpeng, the sixth group of microcode and instruction set design group, the team leader Du Ge, the seventh group directly under the business department Xie Ruhui, responsible for the design and adjustment of the overall architecture, as well as data simulation testing, the person in charge Tan Zhilai。

Among the seven groups, the most important group is, of course, seven groups, designed to deal with the microarchitecture, such as building a factory, the microarchitecture is like a factory, and the factory building is set, so that it can be filled with various processing units to deal with the communication between the units.

"I invite you to come over today and talk about the 'Immortal Bird' project, the company has invested a lot of resources in this, and I want to know now when this project will be completed, of course, if there are any difficulties, you can also raise them. ”

After Wang Anran finished speaking, the field was silent, no one spoke, and after a long while, I saw that Wang Anran had been drinking coffee with his head down, looking at the information.

The scene was extremely depressing, and after a while, Xie Ruhui couldn't sit still.

"Mr. Wang, as I said earlier, it is mainly a human thing, of course, some technical problems, we have also been tackling key problems. ”

Wang Anran didn't raise his head, looking at their information, good guy, six plans were carried out at the same time at once, of course, this is not a bad attempt, but it is better to have a focus!

There are also many problems, such as out-of-order execution errors, branch prediction table vulnerabilities, communication delays, and inexplicable logical errors, which solve a problem and cause a lot of problems.

It's still in the architecture.

Think about it again, Wang Anran attributed the root cause to himself, at Intel, at AMD, the chief architect of architecture, didn't he have twenty or thirty years of experience, and he had stayed at all levels of CPU design, but what about his own family?

Although Xie Ruhui has a lot of years, he is mainly engaged in semiconductor research in BUPT, and in fact, the research and development experience of CPU is only in the past three years.

At the beginning, he developed the Athlon CPU with Wang Anran, and Xie Ruhui was also an old man.

Athlon PRO, Athlon II is an extension of Athlon microarchitecture, and the research and development is very smooth.

The "Immortal Bird" project uses a new architecture, which may be a bit overwhelming for Xie Ruhui and them......

But...... If you can't figure it out, forget it, it's not right for you to hide it, Wang Anran threw the information in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Give it to you, can you push the project forward?" Director Xie, you came when Huaxin Technology was just established, at that time, we were still sneaky in developing the Athlon, from the instruction set to the architecture to the design of each logic unit, how many materials were turned over, and how many nights were stayed......

Xie Ruhui lowered his head, not tempered at all.

At that time, I don't know what means Mr. Wang used, but he found the design drawings of 80286, and the team he led was able to draw the drawings on paper overnight, studying unit by unit, and even the function of each logic gate was not let go, and now, the conditions are much better than before.

We have advanced analog EDA software, and we have a much better talent match than before, but ......'

"We still have to talk about the past, but this time, I don't hold anyone responsible, you are all the backbone of the 'Immortal Bird' project, the CPU development process, you know very well, why can't it be promoted, I think, each of you has your own answer, so let's not care about these days, give each of you three days off, think about why, three days later, we will meet here." ”

Wang Anran decided to personally take charge of the "Immortal Bird" project and prepare for a long-term battle.

"Do you want to bring a few apprentices!"

I have a complete set of CPU architecture design ideas, and I don't expect to be able to train a master like Jim Keller, and it is not bad to be able to train a few backbones who are independent.

The "Immortal Bird" project was temporarily shocked, and Wang Anran ran ran to the Ripper II graphics card division, compared to the "Immortal Bird" project. The progress of the Ripper II graphics card division is undoubtedly fast, but of course, the design difficulty of the GPU and CPU is not equal.

The design of GPU is faced with a single graphic image data, while the CPU is more complex, scientific computing, logic processing, I/O device control, etc......

"Mr. Wang, we have conducted seventeen simulation tests, and at present, the results of the tests are still relatively ideal, I think, it should not take long for the production of tape-outs!"

Wang Anran took the information handed over by He Changjin, of course, it is customary to look at the parameters first.

The R200 core of the R40 graphics card uses TSMC's 300nm manufacturing process, with a total of 64 processing units, a design frequency of 433MHZ, equipped with GDDR2 with 400 video memory, and supports Godson, OpenGL, and Direct 3D graphics interfaces.

What is the performance of the simulation test?

He Changjin is full of confidence.

"We still have to wait for the results of the tape-out test, but the results of the computer simulation test show that the Ripper II can beat the most powerful graphics card on the market!"

Wang Anran patted He Changjin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't say it in half, how powerful is it?"

"NVIDIA's strongest TNT190 graphics card, one of us can top the four of them!"

Wang Anran's brain was stunned, crazy and boundless! No, this toothpaste is too squeezed! It is conceivable that if Lao Huang saw the second generation of the Ripper, would he throw his knife into the sea......
