Director Long's brain was thinking quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is no doubt that if you can cooperate with Lianchuang Technology, it will be of great benefit to the Loongson research group, Lianchuang Technology has money, market, experience in the design and development of super-scale integrated circuits and an excellent team, which is incomparable to the Loongson team, but after all, the Loongson project is a national-level project, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strategic project with high hopes from the country, so it will be handed over to Lianchuang Technology? He was always a little unwilling.

"Ahem...... Wu Yuying coughed lightly twice, and now it's time for her to come out: "Leaders, I have a proposal." ”

Director Long suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the people of Lianchuang Technology wanted to speak, it was great, and nodded and said, "Ms. Wu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Regardless of whether what Wu Yuying said is useful or not, whether it has reference value or not, at least it gives herself time to think.

"We have rich experience in the design and development of VLSI integrated circuits, have our own wafer factory and complete packaging and testing capabilities, and have an excellent chip design team, we can proudly say that the semiconductor division of Lianchuang Technology is already a world-class team, in this case, we can't join forces to establish a new company?"

"It's absolutely possible!"

Without waiting for Lao Long to speak, another deputy director surnamed Fu couldn't sit still, gritted his teeth and said to Wu Yuying: "Loongson is a ...... that the country has high hopes for in the field of central processing units."

"Loongson is also a central processing unit based on a reduced instruction set in the final analysis, and now more than 99.99% of computer applications on the market are developed based on complex instruction sets. Wu Yuying unceremoniously interrupted Deputy Director Fu's words and asked.

Deputy Director Fu blushed and said stiffly: "This ...... There's always a way. ”

"There's always a way? Hehe...... "Since the words have come to this, Wu Yuying naturally won't be polite to them, and sneered: "What's the way?" Is the Loongson research group a top genius in market operation, can rely on the best market operation means to gain enough market share and the favor of investors, or can it persuade the country to smash hundreds or even hundreds of billions of dollars and smash a market?

There is not so much money. Just with the 20 or so people in the Loongson research group, they want to compete with the huge core engineer team of more than 5,000 people owned by Inter and AMD? Just rely on the 10 million given by the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Let's not tell jokes, shall we? Our Lianchuang Technology Semiconductor Division has more than 1 billion dollars of funds for semiconductor design and development every year. ”

As soon as Wu Yuying said this, Deputy Director Fu, who was stiff-mouthed, opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Can...... The show is here, what can he say?

The Loongson research group is now full of only 22 people, and it was even worse when it was first established, only 12 people, saying that such dozens of people can compete with Inter and AMD with four or five thousand core engineers? Even people who don't understand scientific research anymore. I also know how big the difference between forty or fifty and forty or five thousand is;

Not to mention the gap in R&D funds, Inter's annual R&D investment is as high as tens of billions of dollars, and AMD loses billions of dollars every year, but what about the Loongson research group, at the beginning of the establishment of the Loongson research group last year, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences could not apply for any start-up funds! In this case, the Institute of Computing Technology had to come up with all the innovation funds of the Institute of Computing: 10 million yuan to successfully start the general-purpose processor development project, which is now the Loongson research group.

It would be a big joke to say that such a team could develop a desktop processor that threatens the x86 interest group.

But Hu Wei was so dazzled that he was so excited that he didn't even care about the presence of the leaders in the office. said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Lin...... Mr. Lin, can your semiconductor division really have 1 billion US dollars in R&D funding every year? ”

Lin Zheng, who hadn't spoken much, nodded: "To be precise, last year was $1.2 billion, and this year's R&D expenditure was $1.23 billion." ”

Lin Zheng's words made several leaders of the Institute of Computing Technology want to die in an instant: the total financial allocation received by the entire Institute of Computing Technology in a year is only 10 billion, well, the unit is still RMB, this money looks like a lot, but how many projects do the entire Institute of Computing Technology need to be funded? How many mouths are waiting to be fed? To put it mildly, this money is no different from sprinkling pepper noodles.

"You ...... Is there really so much money? Hu Wei couldn't help but ask.

"There's no need for me to lie about this kind of thing, do I?" Spread your hands out. Lin Zheng said: "Lianchuang Technology is not a state-owned enterprise, nor is it a listed company, so there is no need to lie and cheat investment. ”

"Uh...... That is, if we cooperate. The Loongson research group can also get some of the funding, right? Holding back the excitement in his heart, Hu Wei asked cautiously.

"That's for sure." Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively.

Counting on that little money in your hands? It's not enough to buy some professional testing equipment.

With Lin Zheng's confirmation from Lin Zheng, Hu Wei couldn't hold back any longer, stood up suddenly, looked at Director Long with red eyes and said, "Director." On behalf of our Loongson research group, I would like to ask the institute to seriously consider the matter of cooperation with Lianchuang Technology. ”

Money, no money can not do scientific research, from last year to now, the 10 million allocated by the institute is about to bottom out, but the new funding has not come down for a long time, how to do experiments without money? How to do a test without money? Don't have money and want to do research? Dreaming is not called practical.

But now, the Loongson research group has encountered a golden opportunity: they have not only met a big financier, but also a master of business operation. For the Loongson research group, technology is indeed difficult, but compared with technology, R&D funding and marketization are more difficult! Hu Wei knows that if he misses this village, he will not want to encounter this store again in the future.

Director Long also hesitated, knowing that Deputy Director Fu, who had opposed it before, was also hesitating: more than 1000 million US dollars in research and development funds, there is no doubt that if the Loongson research team can get a part of it, the probability of success of the whole project is undoubtedly much greater.

"Director Long, I have a suggestion."

"Speak, please." Director Long hurriedly said, Lin Zheng is about to speak, he must be cautious.

Lin Zheng said slowly: "My idea is that the semiconductor division of Lianchuang Technology, the Loongson research group, our subordinate supercomputing center, and the other three supercomputing centers in China can cooperate in the form of technical cooperation?" ”

"What?"

Lin Zheng's words not only stunned Wu Yuying. Even the people from the Institute of Computing Technology were all stunned: Lin Zheng was not only interested in the Loongson research group, but also set his sights on the Supercomputing Development Center of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Computer Research Institute of the National University of Defense Technology, the Modu Supercomputing Center and the National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research and Development Center, the four major supercomputer development institutions in the Republic? What does he Lin Zheng want to do?!

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Lin Zheng said slowly: "My idea is very simple, although our country is gradually approaching the world's first echelon in the field of supercomputers. But the central processing unit can only be purchased, the core of the central processing unit can not be produced by itself, you are all engaged in computer technology, how big the hidden dangers are, I don't need to say that everyone understands, if Loongson is designed in the foundation of the supercomputer application needs to take into account......"

Director Long's forehead was sweating vigorously!

Reason told him. Lin Zheng's method is feasible!

However, it is necessary to coordinate the country's only four supercomputer development institutions, and how difficult it is, just thinking about it makes people feel like a fight!

But Lin Zheng's words are too tempting, yes, China's supercomputer technology is gradually approaching the world's first echelon, but the core processor cannot be produced by itself, how big the threat is to fool can understand, if Loongson took into account the use environment of supercomputing at the beginning of the design...... Comrade Lao Long's heart is beating hard!

If it is really possible to realize the self-production of central processing units for supercomputers. Its significance cannot be overstated! But......

"This ...... This matter is too big for me to have the final say," after snorting twice, Director Long said, "But I will definitely try my best to explain the significance of this to the leaders of the hospital." ”

"Then it's hard to work long." Lin Zheng also knew that such a large-scale cooperation could not be finalized so quickly, and it would be very good to be able to reach this intention, so he nodded with a smile.

………………………………

"Boss, are we really interested in cooperating with the country's four major supercomputing centers?" As soon as she came out of the Institute of Computing Technology, Wu Yuying couldn't wait to ask Lin Zheng, she knew too well that if Lianchuang Technology had the ability to develop supercomputers. How much significance does it have for Lianchuang Technology?

"We have this intention, whether people are happy to cooperate with us or not is another matter," Lin Zheng shook his head with a smile and said: "Now we are shaving our heads and picking hot heads, maybe after hearing our proposal." People pouted directly and dropped a sentence of 'whimsical!' That's it. ”

"That's their own stupidity," Wu Yuying immediately stood firmly and unprincipledly on the side of her company: "With the support of our Lianchuang Technology, I don't know how much faster their progress can be......" After hesitating for a moment, Wu Yuying still asked Lin Zheng: "Boss, I have a question." ”

"Hmm. You said. Lin Zheng nodded.

"Isn't Loongson using MIPS architecture a reduced instruction set central processing unit, and today's supercomputers use Xeon CPUs with complex instruction sets, and this thing can be used as a central processing unit from a supercomputer?" Wu Yuying asked.

"Yes!" Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively.

"Really?"

"That's right!"

A few years later, the "Shenwei Blu-ray" supercomputer used by the Shenwei CPU is a reduced instruction set CPU, alpha architecture, Shenwei's technology source is DEC's alpha21164, this CPU is a typical technical success, commercial failure of the CPU, DEC's technical strength is very strong, alpha performance is amazing, AMD's popular K7 microstructured CPU was developed based on the purchased alpha21264 technical data.

After several changes of hands, China purchased the Alpha instruction set and microstructure from PAQ company, and developed its own instruction set on the basis of the Alpha21164 central processing unit, and finally successfully equipped it on the Shenwei Blu-ray supercomputer, and finally "Shenwei Blu-ray" also became the only supercomputer in China that uses a domestic central processing unit.

Shenwei processors can be installed on supercomputers, and Loongson, which is also a reduced instruction set, can naturally be, and even after 2012, Arm is ambitiously preparing to develop a supercomputer based on ARM architecture.

If Lianchuang Technology wants to enter the field of supercomputers, it is not impossible to start developing supercomputers based on ARM architecture from now on, but there is one of the biggest problems: ARM is the core R&D provider, and Lianchuang Technology can certainly buy ARM's license to develop it by itself, but every time ARM develops a new generation of cores, Lianchuang Technology needs to purchase a new generation of core technology licenses, so as to ensure the technological advancement of Lianchuang Technology, which will not be based on the fact that Lianchuang Technology is a shareholder of ARM. And it's the biggest shareholder, and what difference it makes.

To make a simple analogy, if Lianchuang Technology, Inter, Samsung, Texas Instruments and other IC design and chip manufacturers are painters, then what ARM does is to provide painting paper for painters, no matter how good your painter is, it is impossible to paint outside the drawing paper, and the drawing paper provider provides you with an A4 size drawing paper, you can only paint on such a large format drawing paper, and it is impossible to provide you with an A4 format drawing paper but you can draw an A3 picture situation.

But Loongson is different, Loongson has purchased all the instruction sets of MIPS, and can develop the core and CPU they need according to their needs on the basis of the original instruction set, so as to form their own first-generation, second-generation and even more generations of CPU, just like Inter, AMD and ARM do, to truly achieve independent and sustainable development, which is where Lin Zheng values Loongson.

As for Loongson, there is no market? It's just about cultivating slowly, how big is the market for ARM three years ago? How big is the market for ARM right now? Not to mention that 10 years later, even giants such as Inter and AMD will regard ARM as their fierce rival.

Wu Yuying doesn't understand this, but since Lin Zheng said that Loongson with MIPS architecture has the potential to be developed into a central processing unit for supercomputers, what is there to hesitate about? nodded heavily: "Then I didn't say anything, I have to take it down if I say anything!" ”
