Listening to Hu Yiting's talk about junior high school life in such a monotonous way, Cao Yunuan knew that Hu Yiting was simplifying it in order to comfort himself.

"My parents want me to go abroad and go to the United States for a PhD after graduating with a master's degree, does that make sense?"

"That's right...... It is also good that the United States is the hegemon of the global microelectronics industry, and has a complete industrial system and the strongest scientific and technological strength in this field. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Yiting sighed: "If going to the United States to study can make you feel happy, then it makes sense." ”

"How can people be happy every day?"

Hu Yiting explained: "As far as I understand, the so-called meaningful is to strive for an ideal every day, and this ideal is something that makes you feel that perseverance is happiness. Every time you think of this ideal, you grit your teeth and stick to it and feel happy in the struggle. ”

Cao Yunuan nodded as if he didn't understand: "Why should life be meaningful?"

"This will improve the quality of life. Hu Yiting said with a smile.

"Meaning of life...... Happiness ...... The quality of life ......" Cao Yunuan chewed Hu Yiting's words, and finally smiled happily: "I have always felt very happy when I study, I don't want to graduate, I want to study all the time, but I feel very lonely." ”

"Then you are naturally suited to scientific research. ”

"And what are your ideals?"

"Let the Chinese use the processors I designed and manufactured. ”

Now the market competition is so fierce, Intel, AMD, Cyrix these giants needless to say, even RISC processors have so many American companies, European companies in production and research and development, there are many processor models in the world, Chinese made their own?"

"The highest form of the market is monopoly, and the Warring States period will end sooner or later, and by that time, others will have the power to control the products and pricing, and we will not have time to cry.

In my opinion, there are three aspects in the development direction of processor chips in the next 20 years, one is home computers, which requires compatibility and cost performance, and the X86 architecture will dominate the rivers and lakes; the second is the mobile terminal processor, RSIC reduced instruction set processors are low cost and power saving, and have natural advantages in this regard; the third is the processor for server market and supercomputer applications, which is the highest standard in the processor manufacturing industry, which is expensive and profitable, but for design, especially in manufacturing technology, the requirements are extremely high, and one day we enter this field, in order to mark that our microelectronics industry has a world-class level。 ”

Cao Yunuan tilted his head and said: "Anyway, I don't like the csic processor of the X86 instruction set, which has high power consumption and low energy." ”

"Well, then we will design better processors in the future, so that thousands of households can use more efficient and cheaper smart products." ”

The patent article was finally sorted out by Hu Yiting and Cao Yunuan.

Hu Yiting raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's not early, let's eat, you go and call Teacher Qiu." ”

Cao Yunuan called Qiu Xiaoqing, who lived downstairs, and the three of them came to the cafeteria.

Not long after eating, I saw Wu Shihuan coming over excitedly, still holding three empty enamel basins stacked together.

"Hu Yiting! Good news! Tsinghua University has succeeded in tape-out. ”

"So fast?"

"This is still fast? I squatted there for a whole week! The design in the courtyard was taken, and the film was produced in only two days, but unfortunately the yield rate of the production line was not high, and the pass rate of the first batch was only 12 percent! The main thing is that the floating point register is very difficult to do. But that's not the point, the point is that after tape-out, Tsinghua simply packaged it and tested it directly, guess what?"

"What else, one success. ”

Wu Shihuan laughed: "You are really confident, isn't it a success! Hu Yiting, you are too good, I am now throwing myself to the ground for the five bodies you admire!"

I haven't seen anyone else who can design such a complex chip on their own like you, and the tape-out has succeeded again, without even having to modify it.

Tsinghua Shiyàn was very surprised, and asked which foreign company designed it? Is it already successfully taped out abroad, otherwise how can it not be modified once.

They also said that it is a miracle that no team in China has ever heard of such a capability in the design of a 1-micron process chip, and that it can achieve circuit voltage matching in one tapout, with an appropriate ratio of high and low levels, and reasonable current parameters! Even the Chinese Academy of Sciences could not do it before. I told them it was designed by a junior high school student, and they told it as a joke. ”

Hu Yiting smiled nonchalantly: "What are the performance test results?"

"Great! This set of instructions perfectly supports Windows, and can be directly called and executed under Windows95! It's great! As long as the software under Windows supports this set of instructions, it can increase the processing speed of multimedia data by nearly 80%! The software running speed is increased by 50%!"

"Which CPU do you use?"

"486dx4/100MHz and Pentium 65MHz. Wu Shihuan's face was trembling with stubble all over his face: "In addition to the math testing software, we also ran a the."

NeedforSpeed, you know what's not?"

"Need for Speed is a racing game, isn't it?"

Wu Shihuan was surprised: "You even know this, I thought this game couldn't be played in China? It only came out last year, and Tsinghua University got it from an American student." ”

"I've heard of it, but I haven't played it. Hu Yiting told the truth, he really didn't play the "Need for Speed" generation, he only played six, and then he was busy with study and work, and he didn't have time to touch the game.

"Do you know?If there is no graphics card support with high-speed texture function,486 would not have been able to run this game,But I didn't expect that after getting on our coprocessor,486 actually only used an old IBM256 color graphics card to run this game! It's also very smooth! No lag at all! The picture quality table is better than the Pentium plus graphics card!"

"Really?" Although Cao Yunuan didn't understand the game, he also understood that this was the result of a significant increase in CPU power.

Wu Shihuan rubbed his eyes and said: "No! You know, if you don't install a graphics card that supports high-speed mapping, the game Pentium Run will be stuck to death! This game is recommended for trident8900/9000 graphics card, and the card will sell for more than a thousand yuan on the market!"

Hu Yiting was stunned, he thought that this coprocessor was of little use, it could only be used to apply for patents, and it could make a stumbling block for Intel in the future, and by the way, he would make some money.

But now the graphics cards on the market are outrageously weak, antiques like trident8900/9000 can be regarded as high-end goods, and when VOODOO comes out at the end of the year, then it is not enough to call for wind and rain?

Hu Yiting pondered: "I may be able to design a graphics card with this coprocessor? Anyway, the life of the product will not be long, and it will be enough for me to earn if I can live for a year or two."

MMX is a good set of instructions in the design of the perfect compatibility with the Windows system, the operating system library can be easily run on it, this graphics card is aimed at 486 computers and the first generation of Pentium processors without MMX instruction set!

3Dfx is about to launch the VOODOO generation graphics card this year, and before the birth of the Pentium MMX processor, this graphics card is the holy sword of all 3D game lovers!

Even so, the VOODOO graphics card still has a lot of problems, it is a sub-card with only 3D acceleration function, and it needs to be used with a graphics card with 2D function. This problem is the same as its own coprocessor chip, there is no independent image output design.

Why don't I sell this coprocessor as a graphics card acceleration chip?"

Hu Yiting almost jumped up when he thought of this.

Wu Shihuan knocked on the enamel basin with chopsticks: "Hu Yiting, guess what is the result of running on the gallop?"

"Stronger than 486?"

"It's better than 486, I tried it, with an old-fashioned IBM256 color graphics card, it's actually stronger than the pentium with trident9000!

Wu Shi was full of praise: "It's amazing! Your floating-point register design is amazing!"

3D games are comparable to floating-point computing power!

Your single-instruction implementation of most jù stream technology is also too perfect! The game's texture capabilities and image processing are not inferior to professional graphics card chips!"

Hu Yiting stood up solemnly: "Old Wu, let's build a graphics card!?"

Wu Shihuan was stunned, holding the enamel basin in his hand and asked, "Build a graphics card?"

"Yes, build a graphics card!" Hu Yiting made up his mind.
