As Hu Yiting finished checking the last wiring and saved the design drawings and exited the software, the fifth computer room suddenly erupted in warm applause.

Hu Yiting smiled and turned back to everyone.

Cao Yunuan's eyes had already smiled into a line: "Hu Yiting, eat steamed buns, and soy milk!

"Thank you. ”

Hu Yiting took the breakfast and devoured it.

Xia Lao walked over: "Hu Yiting, you come to my office." ”

Hu Yiting hurriedly held a bun in one hand and a teapot in the other, and went to her office with Xia Lao.

After sitting down in Xia Lao's spacious office, Xia Lao hesitated to organize the language.

"Hu Yiting, congratulations on completing the design. ”

"Oh, that's a trifle. ”

Xia Lao smiled: "This chip you designed is very remarkable, it is sure to be a masterpiece! With my experience, at least 30 patents can be applied for." ”

"It's 89. ”

“89…… Have you done the math?"

"Well, each of the 57 instruction sets can be applied separately, plus a bunch of IP cores and other designs, I think at least 89 can be requested. ”

Xia Lao said thoughtfully: "Hu Yiting, according to our agreement, the patent for this set of multimedia instructions belongs to you. But can you, can you ......"

Xia Lao felt a slight fever on his face, and he couldn't speak.

"You just say that as long as your old man talks to me, everything can be discussed. ”

Xia Lao nodded with satisfaction: "Then I can say, can you see if you can license all the rights to use all the 89 patents you just mentioned to the Institute of Computing? I mean not only the 57 multimedia instructions, but also all the IP cores used in the design of this chip." ”

Hu Yiting looked at Xia Lao with mixed feelings.

Xia Lao saw that Hu Yiting was still thinking, and looked a little hesitant.

She sighed in disappointment: "At the moment, there are some difficulties in computing, not only in terms of funding, but also in terms of brain drain.

At present, not only Peking University and Tsinghua University, but even the graduate school of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have become a talent training base for foreign universities and large companies.

If you want to retain talents, you must improve the salary, and if you want to improve the salary, you must come up with decent scientific research results......"

Hu Yiting listened to Xia Lao's words, and his mood became heavy.

Broadly speaking, the current predicament of computing institutes is the predicament of the entire Chinese IC industry.

Since China submitted its instrument of accession to the Patent Cooperation Treaty to the World Intellectual Property Organization in September '93, it was ratified almost immediately, so from January '94, China announced that it had officially become a member of the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

At this point, China's IC design industry immediately entered a painful transition period, and the lack of chips with independent intellectual property rights has been difficult to move in the market since then.

In the chip design industry, there is a concept of IP core, which is not the IP (Inte-Protocol) in the network, that is, the network protocol concept, but the so-called (intellectual-property-core), which translates to the core of intellectual property.

In the field of chip design, every functional module and circuit structure designed and integrated in the chip has a clear intellectual property attribution. Hundreds or thousands of various functional modules are integrated into a single chip. It can be said that each new chip is a patent package, which is sacrosanct under the protection of intellectual property rights.

Relying on the accumulation of the first 30 years, New China has formed a powerful and complete industrial system, with more than 1,000 scientific research institutes and research units covering various categories, so that China can develop and produce every part of any kind of product by itself, from small needles and threads to large satellites, rockets and atomic bombs.

Although many of these categories are lagging behind due to a lack of research funding and Western technology blockades, China's strong industrial system and vast R&D institutions make it recognized as a world-class standard in the field of reverse engineering and imitation manufacturing.

As early as 1979, Shanghai Component Factory No. 5 and Shanghai Radio Factory No. 14 successfully copied Intel's 8080 eight-bit microprocessor, and because there was no Zài patent problem, they began to happily manufacture it for domestic use. West Germany copied this kind of product in October 1980, a full year later than China! The Soviet Union, which had worked hard to practice the magic of electron tubes, had a lot of shortcomings in integrated circuit manufacturing technology, and it was not until 1986 that this chip with broad application prospects was successfully copied. This fact proves that China's integrated circuit manufacturing strength at that time was very strong, and compared with the world's first United States, the development gap in the CPU process is only 5 years.

But precisely because the Chinese are so smart, the West is becoming more wary of China. And China itself also feels that the research and development of new products is a thankless task, especially in such a high-tech high-investment industry as chips, if you invest a huge amount of money in research and development, as a result, within a few years of the emergence of things, can they still be cracked and imitated? Moreover, the demand for such high-tech products in the domestic market is not large, and the people's consumption power is low, so they can only be used by units that need computers. As a result, the higher authorities have paid less attention to the investment in new product research and development.

In the view of the units concerned, instead of spending money on the research and development of new products, it is better to put money on the research and exploration of cutting-edge science and technology, because after all, basic scientific research is the foundation for enhancing the country's scientific and technological strength.

If China does not join the World Intellectual Property Organization, then this idea is reasonable, and even very economical and very cost-effective, but if you do, you will be dumbfounded.

After China's accession to the World Intellectual Property Organization, almost all science and technology manufacturing industries have encountered the dilemma of lack of core technology, and it is not allowed to copy and imitate foreign products whose patents have not expired in the future.

Where does the large amount of R&D money come from, and what if the patent can't be bypassed?

As a result, a large number of enterprises have no choice but to spend money on patent licensing to ensure that their products do not fall into patent disputes.

In the field of chip design and manufacturing, China has always been the focus of the West, especially the United States, a country that regards the integrated circuit industry as a key scientific and technological pillar, and is also the most developed country in the world's IC industry, has never relaxed the blockade of China's science and technology in this field

As a result, since China's accession to the "Patent Cooperation Treaty" in 94, China's integrated circuit design industry has been struggling in high-end products, and it has been trapped in low-end products with expired foreign patents.

The latest foreign patents are either unwilling to be granted to you, or they ask for sky-high patent fees, which leads to the high-end chips designed in China as soon as they are born in the womb, and the cost remains high.

Xia Lao's words interrupted his thinking: "Hu Yiting, otherwise you will keep the instruction set patents and license those IP core patents to the computing institute?"

Her voice sounded a little timid, as if she was afraid of rejection: "Although the computing institute is currently short of funds, I will definitely be able to scrape together tens of thousands of yuan if I apply." ”

A dignified academician actually begged for the head of a nobody, which immediately made Hu Yiting feel sad for a while: "Old Xia! I don't want money! It's free! I will license all these patents to the computing institute for free!"

Xia Lao originally saw Hu Yiting hesitating, thinking that he was reluctant to give. After all, these IP cores include instruction sets, once a patent is applied, there are large companies in the world that are willing to buy, and it is not a problem for a license to sell for tens of thousands of dollars.

Now hearing Hu Yiting's agreement, Xia Lao couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Are you really willing?!I'm talking about full licensing, that is, the computing institute will have the right to make changes to your design and get the improved design patent, are you willing too?"

"Yes, I just need to keep the patent ownership, all my patents can be licensed to the Institute for scientific research purposes for free, and if the Institute of Computing produces a commercial project on top of it, then we can negotiate together."

However, there is one point, the Institute of Computing does not have the right to license the use of these patents to any other entity or individual.

And any improvements and new patents on which I base my patents are also licensed to me free of charge.

If you can do all of the above, then my company and I will continue to license other new patents for free in the future. ”

Xia Lao was very surprised, she knew that this kind of comprehensive authorization method is the highest level of authorization, and it is of great significance! Through the improvement and supplementation of Hu Yiting's IP core patents, the Institute of Computing Technology is fully capable of launching a series of its own original patents in the coming period, which is the most powerful achievement for striving for national scientific research funding support.

Thinking of this, Xia Lao's eyes were a little moist: "Hu Yiting, I thank you for the computing institute and the country." ”

"Elder Xia, don't say that, I'm just a simple Chinese, I hope my country is good, and I feel bad when I see her inferior to other countries." So you don't have to thank me, I do these things to ask for a solid heart and a good night's sleep. ”

Xia Lao nodded happily: "I remember Lloyd-George said that patriotism is rooted in people's instincts and feelings, and patriotism is not pessimism, it is a kind of hope! Hu Yiting, I see this kind of hope from you."

Xiaohu, if you need help in the future, just say that Grandma Xia will try her best to help you. ”

Hu Yiting This is the first time I have heard Xia Lao call himself Xiaohu, and he feels very cordial.

"Grandma Xia, can I say that?"

"Say it!"

"Please take advantage of the national background of the Institute of Computing and help me apply for these patents and expand my influence. ”

"Grandma Xia will do her best to help you. ”

"Thank you!"

Hu Yiting knows that people like Xia Lao are full of words, although they don't have any bold words that pat their chests, they are much more sincere than what many people pat their chests.

"What are you thanking me? I should thank you, you can selflessly provide patents to the state for free use, which will help us a lot.

Your patents, including dense computing, vector compact computing, intelligent analysis of processing priorities, transmission of numbers, multiple calculations in a single instruction, conversion of multiple types of numbers, and so on, are all remarkable scientific research achievements!

Based on these achievements, the Institute of Computing Technology has a lot of work to do in the future, many papers to publish, and many patents to develop.

Hu Yiting had already finished eating the buns, and then rubbed his hands and said: "Our country lags behind the West a lot in the field of IC design, so I think domestic IC companies should be more united to keep warm, should not cherish themselves, and should cross-authorize each other more to improve the overall level." So this authorization, even if it starts with me. ”

Xia Lao nodded: "Xiao Hu, what you said is very good, just like Intel and AMD, their cross-licensing I think has complementary advantages." ”

Hu Yiting was praised twice, and said nonsense: "In fact, if our country hadn't taken a detour in computer research, focusing on computer architecture, that is, mainframe research and development, and relaxing research in the field of chip design and manufacturing, we wouldn't be so passive now." ”

Xia Lao shook his head and said, "How can I say it, the national conditions dictate." If there is no market support, it will not be possible to produce and sell it in large quantities, and the cost will not be reduced. In the past, how many people were willing to spend a lot of money to buy computers, and they were all used by units, but large-scale supercomputers have important use value for national scientific research, economy, and national defense, so of course the state should focus on the research and development of mainframe architecture. Therefore, our supercomputer can always be at the same level as the United States and Japan, and it is very likely that the computing speed will become the first in the world in the future!"

Xia Lao finally sighed and said, "Alas, after all, there is still no money. If we have money, we can go hand in hand with the two scientific and technological routes, so that our supercomputing can have the strongest chip support, and the domestic IC industry can also enter the international market and obtain huge benefits. ”

Hu Yiting nodded again and again: "What you said is really right, I understand."
