Chapter 106: Su Han's Four-Step Development Plan
Even if others can't do it, I can do it.
The system is good, too! Chips too! As long as we Chinese people want something, there is nothing we can't get. We don't lack talent, we lack 5,000 years of self-confidence and time. ”
Hu Guangnan was a little moved when he heard this, Su Han, a young and somewhat unseemly young man, had a great impression in his mind.
What people can't!
Dare to dare what others dare not!
Such a young man of courage and courage.
This will already be very rare.
Huguang South Road; "I was very touched by what Mr. Su said. Actually, that's how I see it. Science and technology must follow the path of independence and self-reliance. The scientific and technological system built by relying on the advanced technology of others has no foundation at all, and it is just a matter of survival. Only by taking the road of scientific and technological independence can science and technology be the inevitable direction of our country's scientific and technological progress. ”
Su Han said: "Speaking of this, Chief Engineer Hu and I basically have the same idea. Of course, although I also want to take the road of core technology independence, I don't want to create a closed-loop ecological circle. Instead, we need to create a completely open ecosystem, just from being dependent on others to becoming dependent on others.
Although our country has a lot of people and a very large country, one thing we have to admit is that it is still very poor. It must be recognized that the main consumer market for high-end technology products is still abroad.
Giving up foreign markets is tantamount to giving up 90 percent of the industry's profits. When the time comes, instead of defeating the enemy, we will first scar ourselves.
The pain of being closed off from the country is enough to experience it once. Opening up and harmony is the direction of development we should take. ”
Hu Guangnan heard what he said! said with a smile: "Although Mr. Su looks young, his thoughts are very old, not the kind of stunned youth, it seems that I am indeed old." ”
Su Han said: "You are not old at all. In fact, for a scientific research worker, as long as he can go on the road of scientific research, he will always be motivated and will always be a young person. ”
Hu Guangnan also smiled when he heard this!
I have to say that Su Han's impression on him is good.
There is courage, there is an idea, the key is ability, and there is money.
When did such a powerful young scholar and scientist come out in China?
It's unexpected.
The secretary walked into the room, put down the teapot, and turned to leave.
Su Han brought Hu Guangnan a cup.
Hu Guangnan put down the teacup after drinking it and said, "Then I don't know if Mr. Su has any ideas about chip development?" What kind of architectural instruction set are you going to use? Or what do you think about it on a technical level. ”
Of course, Hu Guangnan's biggest concern is the chip issue.
When it comes to chip research and development, architecture is naturally inseparable.
So what instruction set and architecture to use is the key to the problem.
Logically, the path of the x86 architecture can hardly be considered.
Because the x86 architecture is basically not authorized to outsiders.
To put it bluntly, it's no fun if you want to use it.
Then we have to start with other international structures.
Such as Mips architecture, Risc architecture, Aipha architecture, Ram architecture, etc...... The biggest is probably the Mips architecture that competes with X86 the most.
Although MIPS is only a reduced instruction set for embedded systems, it has gradually become one of the mainstream chip design concepts in recent years.
In Hu Guangnan's view, Su Han's so-called chip design and development should not want to compete with X86.
Because the complex instruction set X86 is already a monopoly, it is impossible for any company or technology to challenge X86.
However, in the embedded, specialized, and customized markets, the reduced instruction set is still very promising.
Hu Guangnan's idea is also to open up a new situation in the embedded reduced instruction set market.
Instead of being hot and trying to challenge X86 on the classic instruction set.
Because normal people know that is impossible.
If Su Han is also a normal person, his thoughts should be similar to his own.
It's all about planning cornering overtaking in the reduced instruction set and embedded market.
Su Han put down the teacup and said: "For chip research and development, I haven't thought about buying any authorization, I plan to take the road of complete independent research and development." Our team is already working on a new set of reduced instruction sets. And it has completely independent intellectual property rights for this set of instructions. Although this set of instructions is essentially a reduced set of instructions, it can fulfill all the requirements of a complex set of instructions. If successful, it may not be impossible to challenge X86 in the future. ”
Hu Guangnan was shocked when he heard this!
The other party actually wants to develop a completely new instruction set.
How is this possible.
He knows better than anyone how difficult it is to develop instruction sets.
The point is that many of the key technologies in the reduced instruction set have been captured by major companies.
How is it possible for the other party to circumvent these patent barriers?
Su Han got up and returned to his desk to take some documents, handed them to Hu Guangnan, and said, "This is the plan and the four-step development master plan of the instruction set architecture of the Hanlin Academy that we have developed. Chief Engineer Hu helped find fault and see where there was a problem. ”
Hu Guangnan hurriedly took the document and looked at it carefully, and I have to say that the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
Really?
These technologies are too advanced, aren't they?
Is this still a reduced instruction set?
Even complex instruction sets don't have such powerful features!
After reading it, Hu Guangnan said: "Mr. Su! The application scenario of the instruction set of the Hanlin Academy you designed is a bit too exaggerated! Is this possible? ”
Su Han smiled and said: "It's not an exaggeration at all, when the real finished product comes out, the performance will be even more exaggerated than this, and I am already trying to keep a low profile as much as possible." In fact, you are also an expert, and you know that the whole world is catching up with Intel, and you are also planning to overtake in some corners.
But it's not that easy to overtake in corners. If you want to be super, others also want to be super, and they all want to be one step ahead of others, on a first-come, first-served basis.
But in my opinion, those who are one step ahead of others must think about something that others can't think, dare not think of, and can't think of in order to achieve corner overtaking.
My plan is to keep up with the X86 in the classic market.
The mobile market catches up with the X86.
As long as mobile technology continues to iterate, sooner or later, everyone will be able to run around every corner of society with a small microcomputer in their hands. At that time, traditional chips are not competitive, and only chips with low power consumption, multi-core, large cache, low heating, cloud computing, malleability, and modularization, so many functions can be dominant.
When the time comes, all software and hardware companies that join our camp will simply not be able to do without our chips.
And the long language used in the computer system I am developing can be seamlessly integrated with our chips when the time comes.
At that time, whether it is upgrade iteration, software transfer cost, or the convenience of repeated development, X86 will not be our opponent.
