"Meow!

A group of round-headed short-haired cats suddenly burst into the office area, barking and running to attract everyone's attention.

Looking down at the kitten who rushed over and tore at his trouser legs, Atletico quickly finished speaking, bent down and picked up the kitten.

Seeing off Wei Huailiang in the morning, he left the office on his hind feet, first went to Bee Software, then the space station Internet café headquarters, and finally came to Bee Cloud Network. These four subsidiaries have all been affected by this CPU vulnerability, and Atletico Madrid also has the chief architect of Bee Cloud, and he is needed to help contribute at this time.

With the blessing of plug-ins, he is willing to learn and do it himself, but he has become a typical slash youth, programmer/game planner/business owner/athlete, and there are not too many part-time jobs that require slash spacing.

Turning his head to look out of the door, he said to the people around him: "Okay, it's time to close the door and let the cats go, everyone should clean up and prepare to go home quickly!"

These are actually electric toy cats.,It's not a real meow.,The purpose of their existence is mainly to neutralize the cold and hard painting style caused by the gathering of science and engineering men.。 It is said that the effect of real meow and real Wang will be better, but unfortunately it will lose hair, and it will be fed, shoveled, and massaged, and the cost of use is too high, so it was directly excluded by the general affairs department of the bee cloud network.

The electric kitten appeared at this time but it was to urge people to get off work, and the technical work is often continuous, and there are often employees who are immersed in it and forget the time for a while, and then there are kittens that run in regularly to remind them.

Whether it is the technician of the host Bee Cloud Network or the processor expert sent by Bee Core Semiconductor to support, they are no strangers to Atletico Madrid, who is also the chief architect of the two companies, and they are not polite to the big boss, and they each return to their desks, save documents, organize personal belongings, and prepare for the handover work.

Bee Cloud sells cloud computing services that run 24 hours ×a day, provide support and after-sales at any time, and their technical experts naturally cannot work during the day and rest at night like other companies, and even the reinforcements with bee cores are divided into three shifts and need to hand over work with colleagues on the night shift.

After a short time, the handover was successfully completed, and everyone in the middle class packed up and walked out of the gate of the bee cloud network with Atletico Madrid.

Turning his head to look at the brightly lit office building, Atletico said as he walked: "It's been really hard for everyone! ”

Unfortunately, his motivation was used to the wrong person, and only a few people showed interest on their faces, but others were not very excited.

Eyes swept over everyone's expressions, and Atletico suddenly understood what the problem was, and immediately added: "You can bring your family, and those who don't have a companion are all hurrying up!"

At this moment, everyone's emotions were finally mobilized, and they seemed to be a lot more angry.

Speaking of which, the gang has been a bit busy in recent months.

Needless to say, the CPU design team of Beecore has been in continuous overtime mode for half a year since ARM launched the latest V8.3 instruction set and a new generation of CPU cores A75/A55.

This generation of cores supports DynamIQ technology, which allows downstream processor manufacturers to create personalized processors with large and small cores, heterogeneous cores, and L3 caches. Due to the large changes that are too late to digest, many companies have decided to directly use the public architecture to build the next generation of flagship processors. Beecore Semiconductor is no exception, and it also intends to use 4*A75+4*A55 to build Bee's first octa-core processor.

Beecore not only needs to integrate its own GPU and baseband, but also adjusts its own Brain series AI chips according to the V8.3 instruction set to achieve good compatibility.

The new processor was just a little eyebrow-up, and was about to start the first tape-out trial production, and then encountered a CPU vulnerability crisis, 75 thought it was a high-performance big core, and it was also affected by related vulnerabilities, so they could only put their work on hold and wait for ARM to provide new core code.

The good news is that although there are also vulnerabilities in the bee autonomous architecture in theory, because of the different architectures and closed systems, the danger level is several orders of magnitude lower than that of A75 and even Intel processors, and it can be easily solved directly through system security patches.

In the first half of the year, there was a leak of the "Eternal Blue" vulnerability and several waves of ransomware viruses, which made them frequently enter a state of emergency and constantly guide users to use security measures to repair the system. I finally stopped and had time to do some serious research, tinkering with AMD's EPYC processors and Radeon Instinct accelerator cards, as well as its own second-generation swarm CCDN technology, but suddenly received an urgent message of a CPU core vulnerability.

The "Eternal Blue" vulnerability is a problem with the indos operating system, and they only need to remind users to patch it, but this time the "meltdown" and "ghost" vulnerabilities are CPU-level problems, which need to be modified to solve the underlying virtualization layer.

Limited by manpower and expertise, Bee Cloud had no choice but to ask Bee Core for help to tackle key problems together. Although the latter's electronic engineer is engaged in ARM, which is not quite the same as Beecloud's Intel Xeon, he is the most convenient processor expert to find, and it is better to find them than to stare at the technical data in a daze.

The only good news is that although the CPU vulnerability is widespread and harmful, the real damage is far greater than that of the previous "Eternal Blue" vulnerability.

The leak was a finished hacking tool from the old NSA, anyone with a little software knowledge can use it, and if you know more, you can further transform it, plus infection spread, file locking, hidden mining, number theft eavesdropping and other functions, and then the endless ransomware viruses and mining viruses are proof.

However, this time, Google's Project Zero network security team only disclosed the principle of the vulnerability that could be exploited, and the reproducible code of the vulnerability shown is very primitive, even experienced hackers can only read the content of any specified memory address on the local computer by reading the code. It's still dangerous, but there's no other way to use it directly to steal passwords and data.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the "Eternal Blue" vulnerability is a leaked killer that can be used directly. The loopholes disclosed this time are only equivalent to the E=mc mass-energy formula and the chain reaction principle, although it is true that nuclear weapons can be built by relying on this, but there are many difficult thresholds to cross, and it is really difficult to achieve them overnight.

The reality is that the vulnerability has been around for so long, and has been disclosed on a small scale for months, and there are still no real attacks that exploit the vulnerability globally, let alone a large-scale outbreak.

Because of this, this vulnerability incident was covered up by the relevant enterprises.

Intel released news as early as the first half of the year, saying that it would release the latest eighth-generation Core processor and supporting 300 series motherboards in the near future. Although the 14nm process is still used, by optimizing the design and improving the process, the product still brings small upgrades and functional enhancements, and it is clear that it still loves the toothpaste business. Until then, they will certainly not be happy to see such negative news appear.

Therefore, although the Project Zero team disclosed the vulnerability and the relevant manufacturers also took action, the mainstream media and mass users were still kept in the dark.

Although Bee has made up its mind to increase the purchase of AMD processors and its own bee core server version in the future, it has no intention of tearing up its face with Intel.

Of course, if you are interested in studying the update patches of Bee System, Bee Browser, and Bee Computer Manager, you will find that they all mention patching security vulnerabilities, improving system security, and may slightly reduce performance, which can be regarded as laying some ambush for the inevitable exposure.

After picking up the car, Atletico went to Little Flower to pick up the children and drove them back home.

Tang Jiayi's place of work is on the island, and at this time she is still blocked on the cross-sea bridge, and there are only father and son at home for the time being.

After taking snacks and fruits to cushion their stomachs, Atletico stuffed the little ones into the activity room and watched cartoons with them. This period of time is the peak period of domestic half-orc animation, but the snack goods have been used to watching foreign children's animations since childhood, and they are not interested in domestic animations that fool children, but they are just pestering their father to watch "Thomas Train", "Peppa Pig", and "Beast Girl".

After an episode of Thomas and his friends, Atletico turned off the TV and took out the little train, pulling the little ones to lay tracks on the floor, and they had a good time.

At this moment, Tang Jiayi's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Atletico Madrid, why don't you let them sign up?"

Turning his head to look at his wife, Atletico asked rhetorically: "What do you want to ask?"

"Golden Horse! I heard from the people in Bee Shadow that you told them not to sign up for the movie. ”

"What's so strange about this?" someone shrugged and stood up directly with his legs, "It's impossible to win the prize anyway, so I just don't bother to sign up." ”

Three awards for Chinese films, Golden Rooster, Golden Statue, Golden Horse.

The organizer of the Golden Rooster is the China Film Association, which should be the highest award in the country, but for some reason it has set its own limits, only allowing mainland films and mainland co-productions to apply for the competition, and is very keen to divide the fruit and lay double yolk eggs, resulting in serious damage to credibility, but it has been suppressed by the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse for a long time in terms of authority. As a film award on Hong Kong Island, the Golden Statue also sets its own restrictions and only allows Hong Kong films and Hong Kong co-productions to apply.

However, although the latter accepts all Chinese-language films, it has never forgotten its original intention of rewarding and supporting films in the province, and prefers to award awards to locally produced films, especially various literary films.

Bee Pictures has been involved in the film industry for several years, and has rarely made literary films, and has little interest in famous directors and stars, which is obviously incompatible with the Golden Horse, so it has never been affirmed by the judges. This time, Bee Shadow's "The Wandering Earth" won a record 5.9 billion soft girl coins at the global box office, including Tang Jiayi, many people are very optimistic about their Golden Horse journey, but they didn't expect that people didn't sign up at all.

"Why can't you win the award?" Ms. Tang said with a look of disbelief, "The special effects and sound effects are so good, and the technical awards for visual effects, sound effects, and modeling are still very sure." If you agree to attend the ceremony, they might even give you the best editing, the best new actor. ”

"Forget it," Atletico continued to shake his head, "It's not an Oscar for technical awards, so there's no point in winning it." New actor or something, I have that 'Asian Newcomer Award' is enough. ”

"What about the golden rooster and hundreds of flowers in Huabiao?

"There's no rush for this, I'll talk about it later. ”

These three mainland film awards have a common denominator that is criticized, that is, they are only held every two years, and the timeliness is very poor. Baihua and Huabiao have already done it last year, and the next time will be next year. The Golden Rooster was just held last week, but the release date of "The Wandering Earth" happened to be outside the scope of registration, and it would not be possible to register until the year after next.

"Okay," Tang Jiayi didn't really care too much about these honors, and quickly threw these awards aside and changed the subject.

Glancing at the little guy next to her who was busy driving the train, she pointed to the northeast, "By the way, when are you?"

Atletico suddenly understood and asked, "What, do you want to go with you too?"

"I'm just asking," the lady shook her head decisively, then pulled out her phone, "By the way, I received a game today, can you help see if it can be released?"

"What do you want me to do?

"It's easy to say, can it be the same?" Tang Jiayi smiled and glanced at him, "If you submit it directly, you have to apply for the version number yourself, and let Bee You release it on your behalf and schedule it for review, so it will save you more trouble directly!"

"Okay, I'll see," Atletico held out his hand, "who made this game?"

"A couple of little girls from our company. I think it's pretty good, so I'll show it to you. ”

Tang Jiayi has many companies under her name, but Atletico Madrid knows that she should be referring to Guyunzhai Garments. Thinking of the environment where everyone is COS and the ancient style is strong, his brows tightened, "Dress-up games? ”

"No! see for yourself!" Tang Jiayi opened the game and handed her phone to her husband.

Atletico glanced down, but there were four large colorful characters on the screen, "Magic Pen Ma Liang", a light pastel background, a cartoon-style title and button text, which looked like it should be a child-oriented game.

This obviously doesn't match the style of delicate beauty and fashionable life that is common in dress-up games. Realizing that his preconceived guess was wrong, Atletico quickly changed his tone and asked: "RPG, or adventure puzzle?"

"Looks like both. ”

Nodding, he clicked into the game.

At the beginning of the game, the poor child Ma Liang was smart and diligent, and he could draw delicate and vivid animals with branches and stones, and later he was given a magic pen, so he used this money to paint the villagers to plough oxen, plows, rake waterwheels, and grind stones, but it attracted the covetousness of the landlord, the squire, the big official, and the emperor, and then it was a pain all the way.

With a magic pen in hand, Ma Liang's fighting style is naturally very different from ordinary games, and players need to draw specific graphics on the screen in order to summon items, animals, and characters to help them fight, which is unique.

"Well," after playing the first big level, Atletico nodded, "The gameplay is new, and the painting style is also good, just leave it to me." It just so happened that the IP copyright of the magic pen Ma Liang was in the hands of Beenet, which saved a lot of things. ”
