In order to cope with the storm that has come, the information technology department is working overnight to overcome the operating system, and the micro integration department is also working overtime to debug the design drawings of major chips.

Both departments are in pursuit of perfection and transcendence!

After the operating system is launched, it must be able to coordinate software and hardware to achieve a higher degree of control than Apple.

As a result, when writing the system, members of the IT department often had to negotiate a solution with the microintegration department and start the experiment again.

Even if the hardware is a level behind, it must be made up for by software, and the perfect combination of each other can be achieved, so that the performance and fluency can be improved to a higher level and reach the world's top.

The task is not easy.

To accomplish this, we must first make a breakthrough on two points.

The first point is to win in all aspects of the chip architecture.

The twin star architecture of the micro integration department is Zhong Zixing's layout for the future, and it must definitely surpass all architectures in the market.

The second point is that the execution efficiency in terms of the instruction set should be high!

For example, someone else's chip needs multiple instructions to process a single command, while theirs only needs one.

With these two points, coupled with the perfect fit between the Galaxy operating system and the chip, it can make a mobile phone have a qualitative improvement in both performance and smoothness.

If people have understood, they may say that the configuration of this mobile phone is not the top, but when they use it, they will feel that compared with the top mobile phone, the overall performance of this mobile phone equipped with neutron star technology chips and systems is beyond imagination.

......

Micro-integrated building.

After Zhong Zixing was busy with several tasks of the operating system of the Ministry of Information Technology, he has been staying here to study the design of memory modules, flash memories, and solid-state drives with Qian Shuhao, a genius in storage circuits.

Qian Shuhao had just graduated, and his figure was a little thin, tall and thin, and he rejected Samsung's offer as soon as he graduated and chose to join Neutron Star Technology.

At first, Zhong Zixing thought that he was attracted to the goal of neutron stars like many people, but later found out that he simply wanted to study without hindrance before he chose to join.

But it doesn't matter, if you have real talent and love technology, and take scientific research as the thing you are most interested in, this kind of talent is what Neutron Star Technology needs.

Moreover, after a long period of contact, you will gradually find that Qian Shuhao has a very similar quality to Zhong Zixing.

He is often blinded and can fall into thought anytime and anywhere.

"All the data of the machine is in memory, and the computing data processed in the CPU needs to be stored, and it needs to communicate with the CPU, so I don't think there is any need to split it out......," Qian Shuhao recalled from his thoughts and expressed his opinion.

In order to prevent Samsung from doing anything about it, the Microintegration Department is holding an emergency meeting to come up with a plan and complete the design as soon as possible.

The Gemini architecture is made up of a lot of parts, because the goal is to integrate all the circuitry into a single chip, including processors, memory, flash memory, sensors, and so on.

Memory is included in the design that is spun off from this architecture.

"There is a difference in performance between separate linkage and integration, and only two circuits of processor and memory are integrated, and there is not much difference in the volume of the overall chip."

At the end of the day, it's the current standards that restrict whether the Gemini architecture can be developed, and anyone who takes it apart will find it uncomfortable.

"There is no way, if only two circuit designs together, it is really not a big problem, but the process may not be able to meet the standard, our domestic top process is currently only 90 nanometers, and there will be a significant difference in performance between individual design and collective design." Feng Yingjie was also sweating profusely when he was thinking.

The chip foundry giant Lift Semiconductor is also the world's top process of 32 nm, and is moving towards 28 and 22 nm, but Neutron Star Technology only wants to hand over to SMIC for foundry, because Lift Semiconductor is itself also restricted by capital.

"Let's take the design apart first, don't hesitate any longer......"

Of course, Zhong Zixing knows that it is better to design together, after all, as long as the computer is running, the CPU will transfer the data that needs to be calculated into the memory for calculation, and when the calculation is completed, the CPU will send the results out.

Therefore, the operation of memory also determines the stability of the computer.

If you design them together, you don't need to transfer them, and the performance improves by leaps and bounds.

"Is it possible that a chip is divided into two layers, the upper and lower layers, and the processing and storage sides are connected in this way?" Qian Shuhao once again put forward his opinion.

This idea not only made Feng Yingjie's eyes light up, but even Miao Pei and Jiang Zhenwei felt that it was feasible.

"I've thought of this kind of design for a long time...... Zhong Zixing said with a slight headache: "But what to do in terms of packaging, the processing chip and the memory chip must be separated." ”

"Then there is no need to be entangled, wait until we develop all semiconductor equipment and improve the manufacturing process in the future, so that the Gemini super architecture that integrates all circuits can be perfectly played!"

During the discussion, Zhong Zixing once again rejected the scheme of designing several circuits together, and chose to separate these circuits and make them into separate chips.

It's not that the design alone is bad, but after seeing the shocking architecture of Gemini, everyone wants to make it happen.

Of course, splitting it out and designing it separately means that the process can keep up and achieve the first-class performance at this stage.

"Andromeda, pass the design drawings to the Extreme Precision Department, and let them try two pieces first."

After Zhong Zixing gave the order, he quickly got up and walked to the Extreme Precision Laboratory of Neutron Battle Star with several persons in charge of the Microintegration Department.

The newly established department has been in place in the past two months, and most of them are leaders in the field of industrial engineering from top universities in China, with a total of 3,000 people.

......

A group of five people marched from the arc corridor of the office building towards the Neutron Battle Star.

Although the area is huge, everyone is either on a balance car or an automatic conveyor belt, and it takes a few minutes to get to the industrial laboratory.

"Mr. Xu, have you received the design drawing?" As soon as he entered the door, Zhong Zixing couldn't wait to ask.

"You're here......"

Dozens of technicians who were tinkering with various chip manufacturing equipment turned their heads one after another, and one of them, a middle-aged and sturdy man in his forties who looked like a team leader, smiled and showed a few snow-white teeth.

Xu Zhihai, a professor of industrial engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology and an academician of the National Academy of Engineering, gave a lecture at Tsinghua University a few years ago, and Zhong Zixing happened to listen to it at that time.

What's even more legendary is that he once participated in the design of the precision instruments inside the Long March 12 rocket, and then turned to the first batch of lithography machines in China, two unrelated industrial system equipment.

When he heard that Neutron Star Technology was going to smash more than half of the company's profits into the research and development of lithography machines, the professor did not hesitate to lead the team over.
