Chapter 20 The King of Efficiency, the Horizon Algorithm!

"Attention, a ten-second countdown."

"Look at the camera, you must look at the camera, boss!"

The curly-haired young man gestured to Yuan Lin, his name was Hu Shuo, and he was the director of a well-known film and television production team, who was specially responsible for the live broadcast promotion of quantum technology.

Yuan Lin, who was distracted, trembled slightly when he heard this, and then made an OK gesture at Hu Shuo, who was hiding behind the scenes.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"I'm number one!"

"Who knows what quantum technology is going to do this time?"

"yes, who has the inside scoop?"

"I don't have inside information, but I know that usually, the shorter the news, the bigger the matter."

"Haha, do something! Do things! ”

As the countdown ended, the live broadcast officially began, and tens of thousands of viewers poured in at the first time, and the barrage flew wildly.

Here's why things are going this way.

Twenty-four hours ago, Yuan Lin, a patient with social phobia, posted a message on Weibo, "We have something we want to show you. ”

Happy and Xia Qiuyu were speechless on the spot after finding out, typical Yuan Lin style, lazy to the bones, even if he wrote one more word, he was unwilling, let alone advertise, at least you have to make the brief content of the press conference clear, right?

After the release of Weibo, it quickly set off a feverish discussion around the world, and everyone wanted to know what Yuan Lin wanted to show everyone, some guessed controlled fusion, some guessed particle accelerators, and some guessed that it was a space elevator.

As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats, the more vague Yuan Lin says, the more interested everyone is.

In addition, Yuan Lin and quantum technology have long been different, and the light-chasing engine was born, which shocked the whole world and completely changed the global entertainment industry.

The news that quantum technology will enter laser holography technology next and directly challenge Facebook in the metaverse field has made global technology enthusiasts extremely excited.

"As we all know, we are ready to develop laser holography technology to create virtual reality in the true sense of the word."

After the live broadcast started, Yuan Lin talked to himself in front of the camera, he didn't say hello, but went straight to the point.

"But in the process of executing the plan, we found that we lacked EDA design software, so we built our own."

"Today's press conference is to introduce you to this new set of EDA software, which I discussed with my colleagues and named "Horizon".

Yuan Lin's words stunned everyone at the scene.

We found out that we didn't have EDA design software, so we built our own?

Is this also called human talk?

You know, this is EDA software!

EDA is the cornerstone of the semiconductor industry, and it can be used not only to design chips, but also to computational fluid dynamics, quantum physics, and more.

In short, the development of science and technology requires advanced scientific and technological tools, and EDA is one of the most important scientific and technological tools.

At the beginning, Huawei's collapse did not start with the ban on their purchase of chips, but from the first shot fired by disabling EDA software.

Without EDA, let alone manufacturing, Huawei has even lost its chip design capabilities, if it can't even complete the design, even if Huaxia really has its own advanced process lithography machine one day, what's the use?

In short, EDA is a real great power, the mother of semiconductors, no matter how exaggerated the language to describe its importance, it is impossible to exaggerate.

But it is such an existence that is so important that it can no longer be important, and it actually came out of Yuan Lin's mouth, with a full flavor of light wind.

We found out that we didn't have EDA design software, so we built our own?

This kind of words are simply devastating, leaving scientists all over the world speechless, and millions of EDA software developers just want to strangle Yuan Lin to death.

"Impossible, right!?"

"The EDA of quantum technology? Really? ”

"That's what got EDA out? Bragging, right!? ”

The barrage exploded instantly.

It's a pity that Yuan Lin is a little afraid of society, although he is a live broadcast, but it is more like talking to himself alone, just tell what he wants to talk about, as for what others think, whether there are any questions, he doesn't care about these at all, and he doesn't prepare a channel for audience information feedback.

Clearing his throat, Yuan Lin continued: "That's probably the way things are, since EDA is needed, we will develop a set of EDA, which is normal. ”

"Nima~"

"He actually called this normal?"

"If this is normal, Boss Ren, who was stuck in the neck by EDA, is already crying and fainting in the toilet at the moment, right?"

The barrage broke out again, and Yuan Lin's wording made everyone feel very awkward.

People are afraid of comparison, on the one hand, there are many technology companies in Huaxia, which are stuck by EDA and are about to die.

On the other hand, Yuan Lin found that he needed EDA, so he developed a set of EDA, which is really too big.

Yuan Lin completely ignored the disturbances in the live broadcast room and continued to talk.

"Since we're talking about software today, we can't talk about algorithms."

"As of now, there are nine different advanced EDA algorithms around the world."

"The first is the Metropolis algorithm developed by the Los Alamos laboratory, also known as the Monte Carlo method, which aims to obtain an approximate solution to a numerical problem with a large number of degrees of freedom that is difficult to control and an approximate solution to a combinatorial problem with a factorial scale by mimicking a random process..."

"This was followed by the subspace iterative method, and the powerful Institute for Numerical Analysis of the North American National Bureau of Standards pioneered the Krylov subspace superposition method, for example, to solve the equation of the shape Kx(k+1)=Kx(k)+b-Ax(k), where K is a simpler matrix ideally "closer" to A, when the "margin" vector r(0)=b-ax(0) is exponentiated by the power of the matrix..."

"The third is the matrix computation method, which has been demonstrated by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in North America to be extremely useful in decomposing matrix factors into trigonometric, diagonal, orthogonal and other special forms of matrices, which enables software researchers to produce flexible and effective matrix software packages, and also facilitates rounding error analysis, one of the major recurring problems in numerical linear algebra..."

I have to say that Yuan Lin's technical explanation is very boring, but effective.

On the surface, Yuan Lin is praising his competitors, the world's nine EDA algorithms have their own advantages, but as the conversation turns, Yuan Lin put forward a hypothesis, if there is an algorithm that combines all the advantages of the nine algorithms, and at the same time makes up for the shortcomings of various algorithms, what would it be?

"The answer is simple, horizon!"

"The horizon algorithm overcomes the most vexing difficulty in EDA calculus simulations, with the precise calculation of the motion of N particles interacting with gravitational or electrostatic forces."

"Imagine a star in the Milky Way, or an atom in a protein, which requires a computation of O(N*N), and a computation is required to compare each pair of particles, and it is absolutely impossible to complete this kind of galactic accurate calculation with the current existing algorithms."

"The horizon algorithm is completely different, it uses multipole to expand the net charge, mass, dipole moment, four moments, and so on, and the elimination of the influence of a group of particles on a group of particles reduces the complexity of the algorithm to O(N*logN)!"

"You may still not understand that."

"For example, if the nine existing algorithms are a drop of water, then the horizon algorithm is the Pacific Ocean."
