Chapter 108: The Road Ahead (Second Update)
If before the advent of MatrixOS, Yang Lin showed these people the design of the mixed instruction set and compiler, and they still had some doubts in their hearts, then now, they have a firm belief in the success of Rectangle Core No. 1.
In fact, the concept of hybrid instruction sets has been proposed for a long time, but the development speed is not fast, in addition to commercial barriers, another important reason is that hybrid instruction sets have very high requirements for the design of instruction sets.
The instruction system of the complex instruction set CISC is relatively rich, and there are special instructions to complete special functions.
Therefore, when using CISC assembly language programs to write programs that implement special functions, the memory space required is small, the writing is relatively easy, and the execution efficiency is also high.
At the same time, because the early desktop software was designed according to CISC and has been used until now, it will not be compatible if RISC is used, which is why some microprocessor manufacturers have been taking the road of CISC development.
The designers of the reduced instruction set RISC focused on those frequently used instructions, making them as simple and efficient as possible, while limiting the storage operation and simplifying the control.
As a result, RISC microprocessors are simple in structure, compact in layout, contain fewer cell circuits, have a small area, have low power consumption, and have a short design cycle, making it easy to adopt the latest technologies.
This is also one of the reasons why the reduced instruction set represented by ARM can be successful in the field of mobile phone chips.
However, RISC also has disadvantages, such as its high requirements for the compiler and the possibility of delayed waiting.
Therefore, the compiler of the RISC should be able to analyze the data and control flow, and adjust the order of instruction execution based on this. The complexity that comes with clever arrangement.
In this way, the whole controller is relatively simple, so that the area and power consumption are smaller.
Optimizing the compiler design is a complex and technically demanding task.
From an application point of view, the determination of the RISC instruction system is related to the specific application area. Therefore, RISC is more suitable for special-purpose machines, while CISC machines with complex instruction sets are more suitable for general-purpose machines.
Specialized designs can improve the performance of embedded systems while reducing manufacturing costs. Achieving the desired performance by trimming and optimizing aspects of a general-purpose processor is a preferred choice for specialized designs.
From this, it can be seen that combining the advantages of CISC and RISC is a major requirement for practical applications.
Therefore, true CISC/RISC integration needs to be balanced in these aspects in order to achieve the purpose of high efficiency.
Constructing a new instruction set from scratch requires consideration of completeness and a corresponding assembler, which is difficult to imagine.
Therefore, when Yang Lin showed them the pre-research report at the beginning, these people still had some drumming in their hearts, so after the amazing debut of MatrixOS. But they no longer have any doubts about the success of Rectangle Core No. 1.
In particular, the advantages of hybrid instruction sets in the field of artificial intelligence, in a sense, Yang Lin has opened a new era of the Internet industry.
It's understandable to think about it, even if the Moment Core No. 1 is bad, but the optimization of MatrixOS is definitely better than the ARM processor, and after Yang Lin's demonstration, everyone can see that whether it is iOS or Android, I am afraid it is not the opponent of MatrixOS.
So. Do you still need to doubt that Rectangular Core No. 1 will not succeed in the market?
Yang Lin drew a big pie for everyone at the scene, so that these engineers with rich experience in the field of chip design can see the dawn of matrix digital catching up with great companies such as Intel, Google, and Apple.
You must know that these people have been able to work in Zhongke Loongxin for so many years, and they have more or less a "Chinese core" plot in their hearts, but they have worked hard for more than ten years. Loongson is still faltering, and the gap with foreign giants has not narrowed much, which has worn down the will of many people.
But today this meeting. But they completely freed themselves from the shackles in their hearts.
For a while, all kinds of whimsical ideas emerged in the conference room. The collision of inspiration brought about a spark of ideas, and the overall design of Rectangular Core No. 1 continued to reveal its prototype in the discussion of everyone.
The meeting lasted from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Everyone's lunch and dinner were all settled in the conference room, but no one complained of being tired.
Even Qiao Zhenyu, who is accustomed to leaving work at the end of the day in Europe and the United States, was infected by the enthusiasm of these young people and discussed with them to determine the plan.
With his in-depth understanding of the MatrixOS system, Yang Lin directly fed back from the application layer to the underlying design, and from time to time made some thought-provoking opinions, which made all the engineers present admire him.
It is indeed a blessing for them to be able to work with such a boss.
The meeting lasted until half past nine in the evening, and then ended with Yang Lin's repeated insistence.
However, even when they came out of the conference room, these people were still discussing in private, which made Yang Lin a little helpless.
Everyone in the conference room quickly dispersed, Qiao Zhenyu also said goodbye and left, Yang Lin looked at Bai Hua, who was still doing the finishing work, and said a little embarrassed: "Xiaobai, I'm sorry for you today!" ”
Bai Hua smiled: "This is also my job, you are not tired as a big boss, what qualifications do I have to complain!" Actually, it's quite interesting to see you science and engineering men discuss, but I didn't expect that people who usually blush when talking to me would be so active when discussing these technical issues. ”
Yang Lin laughed and said, "How about it, these people are not bad, are you interested in finding a boyfriend from them?" ”
Bai Hua was slightly stunned, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said, "Boss, if it's okay, I'll leave first!" ”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Yang Lin knew that he had said the wrong thing, and said, "Okay, be careful on the road!" ”
Looking at Bai Hua's back disappearing into the depths of the corridor, Yang Lin shook his head and went straight to the company's underground parking lot.
Ten minutes later, XC90 slowly drove out of the underground parking lot of Matrix Semiconductor, and as soon as Yang Lin turned the car to the door of the company, he saw a somewhat gloomy figure waiting for a taxi on the side of the road.
It's just that the location of the matrix semiconductor is relatively partial, and it is nearly ten o'clock in the evening, where are there any vehicles at this time.
Yang Lin's heart moved, and he secretly scolded himself for being too careless, in the past, Bai Hua worked in Matrix Digital, even if it was one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, he didn't have to worry about running out of cars, but the position of Matrix Semiconductor was much more than Matrix Digital, and at this time he wanted to wait for a taxi, and he didn't know when it would be! (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for your support, the monthly pass has risen so fast, there are still five chapters today, and the steel hammer will definitely be completed!
In addition, let's talk about the problem of owing chapters, the alliance leader adds 15 chapters, the monthly pass is over 100 plus one chapter, and there are still 28 chapters owed, and today I will try to reduce the debt to 25 chapters.
Thank you again for your support
