Chapter 402: Writing a Textbook
Silicon Valley, California.
News of the breakdown of the negotiations soon reached the other side of the ocean, and it was clear to everyone that the final showdown was coming.
"It's not so much a showdown, it's better to say that those Chinese people have brought humiliation on themselves." Hollier, the rotating chairman of the Semiconductor Alliance, said disapprovingly at the high-level meeting: "We are absolutely sure that we will destroy Huaxia's CPU plan, but they still treat the RISC-V architecture and David Patterson as treasures, but they have forgotten the most basic fact, Dr. Patterson is also Caucasian and is our compatriot." ”
Hahahaha~
Everyone laughed, these Western semiconductor bigwigs are the executors of the poison plan, so they know very well that the project that Dr. Patterson carried out in Shenzhen is not to help Huaxia launch its own general-purpose CPU, but a dose of poison.
Assuming that Huaxia really launched the RISC-V architecture CPU to replace the existing X86 architecture, then it would be a lot of fun, all the flaws and backdoors of the RISC-V architecture are all in the hands of the West, and the reason why they did not stop Huaxia is to wait for the product to be launched and kill with one blow.
At that time, not only will the huge amount of money invested in the early stage be wasted, but it will also be a huge blow to the reputation and confidence of Xingchen Technology.
Dr. Jerion nodded slightly, although the head of Bell Labs is the founder of the Semiconductor Alliance, but in reality he doesn't come to California very often, and in recent months, he has been going back and forth between Cold Spring Harbor and the North American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Compared with the unity of the semiconductor alliance to resist China, the group of crazy people in Cold Spring Harbor is really not worry-free, James Watson and Reinhardt, one old and one young two crazy people, have put forward too many embarrassing requirements, from human trials to B4 extremely dangerous pathogens, many resources that normal humans can't imagine at all, are secretly assembling towards Cold Spring Harbor, the world's first life science laboratory.
Dr. Jerion is the pivotal figure in the connection between the authorities and business, as well as between the academic community, and he has almost broken his leg, because the relationship between the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the authorities has always been bad, and many resources have been obtained for them by Jerryne, and he also has to coordinate the relationship between Cold Spring Harbor and the CDC, because the two families are also on the same page, and they have been competing with each other for many years.
In short, the North American authorities need Dr. Jerryne, Bell Labs and his personal reputation as brokers to mediate the interests and relationships of all parties.
"Dr. Jerryne, you seem to have something on your mind?" Someone asked.
Jerry rubbed his temples, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't rested much since Christmas, and I'm just a little tired, and you go on to say, how sure are you about completely ruining the CPU plan of Stellar Technology?" ”
"Ten percent." Holier proudly touched the goatee on his chin and said, "We just have to wait and see the jokes of those Chinese people, the RISC-V architecture will die of serious packaging defects." ”
Jerry nodded slightly, it turned out that there was a problem with the packaging technology of Xingchen Technology, the transistors in a chip are divided into many layers, and each layer must be packaged separately to avoid interference and electronic migration between each other, if there is a problem with the layered packaging technology, it is really bad, it often causes the instability of the chip operation, and in serious cases, it will even cause the chip to burn out due to overheating.
"This is also a matter of no choice, who makes Xingchen Technology self-righteous and wants to challenge the supremacy of the semiconductor field as soon as it comes up." Jerry said with a smile: "A group of yellow-skinned monkeys want to build CPUs, what are you kidding!" ”
……
"Come on, after the information is sorted out, all of them will be summarized into the brainstorming group."
"As long as we can explain the technical details clearly, this time it is already the greatest success, which is like laying a foundation, and it is not difficult to build after having a foundation."
Luo Jia constantly traveled between the various laboratories in the headquarters to cheer up her colleagues.
So far, the construction of the bottom layer of semiconductors of Xingchen Technology has finally been completed, but there is more work in the future, not only the front-line research and development is busy, but also the auxiliary departments such as administration, logistics, and business are also running at full speed.
The company is now carrying out too much work at the same time, data model validation, laboratory validation, large-scale laboratory validation, technical data collection, documentation preparation, counseling group establishment and training, global unified technical support platform construction, and so on.
Bang~
Luo Jia pushed open the door, and in front of him was a busy scene, wearing headphones to make calls, holding documents and running wildly, turning the ballpoint pen in his hand and frowning and pondering, these people have different shapes, but they all have a common name, genius.
After years of development, the brainstorming team has become a large organization with thousands of people, with its own office building, and the members of the team wear dual roles, that is, the company's senior think tank, but also the managers of major departments, or the chief scientists of the laboratory.
"Why are you still here?"
Luo Jia was stunned when she saw An Ran, outside the window, it was already completely dark, Luo Jia said with a ghostly expression: "An Ran, today is your wife's birthday!" And your father-in-law is still waiting at home, I bet your wife's face must be more ugly than pork liver now. ”
An Ran shrugged helplessly, and muttered, "Hey, if I knew it was so troublesome, I wouldn't have gotten married in the first place." ”
Belch...
Luo Jia walked over and stretched out his hand to pull An Ran up from his seat, "Don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, even if you can be willing to be a senior sister, can you be willing to be a little relieved?" Hurry up and go home and pick up your daughter, I'm here. ”
An Ran scratched his head embarrassedly, this guy is a typical daughter slave, in the past, his office was full of Spider-Man and Neon Genesis Evangelion, but now it is all replaced with photos of his daughter, no matter what time it is, as long as his daughter cries, he will run home without giving up, and he is also a rare good father.
"Okay, I'll go back first, and when I finish celebrating my wife's birthday, I'll run back quietly in the middle of the night." An Ran pointed to the countless branches and work progress on the huge screen, and said to Luo Jia: "It must be understood by everyone, if the new system cannot be popularized, there will be no meaning of existence." ”
Luo Jia nodded, urging An Ran to go back quickly, annoying that the senior sister didn't have his good fruit to eat.
Looking back at the entry bar on the big screen, Luo Jia chuckled at the corner of his mouth, the whole world thought that Xingchen Technology was going to build a general-purpose CPU based on RISC-V architecture, but in fact, Xingchen Technology had built a complete chip system.
The underlying architecture, instruction set, machine language and logic, all three major items have been successfully built, which is of great significance, and the whole company is running like crazy at the moment, because everyone knows very well that the next thing Xingchen Technology will challenge is not Intel, nor AMD, not IBM, but to challenge the entire Western computer system!
From a sports bracelet to a pair of Bluetooth headsets, to a cluster of servers, a supercomputer that can verify interstellar orbits, this entire system is all established and controlled by the West.
Now, Luo Jia will launch a final general assault on this huge and seemingly invincible system, replacing everything we were familiar with in the past with a completely different language and logic.
The progress bar on the screen, which can also be referred to as the textbook writing progress bar.
Anyone who has studied computer science understands that the system change is not the end of building the CPU and the north-south bridge controller, you have to rewrite the textbook.
Because whether it is a programming language, an assembly machine language, or a semiconductor logic circuit, everything in the past no longer exists, and it is about to be subverted by Xingchen Technology with a new system.
It's like if you invent a new product that has never been seen before in the world, you always have to write a manual to tell everyone how to use it, right?
That's what Xingchen Technology is doing now.
After the instructions are written and the paper is ready, this new computer system will be born!
Fighting for CPU supremacy?
Are you kidding!
What Luo Jia wants to fight for is computers and semiconductors, the dominance of the whole industry!
