Chapter 171: Mr. Kang is interesting enough!
Lao M's blow to Huaguo's chip industry is not only reflected in chip manufacturing equipment, but also in design software.
As an essential software for chip design, EDA's status is somewhat similar to that of silicon wafers, although the global market is relatively small, only six or seven billion dollars per year, but it is leveraging the trillion-dollar chip market.
The design tools for high-end process chips of 5nm and below are mainly restricted.
However, there are actually few companies in Huaguo that can use the design function of this process.
Those who can be used are also on the selection list, and even if they are designed, they can't be made.
And they're all on the blacklist anyway, why didn't Lao Tzu crack you directly?
However, there is also a problem with cracking, that is, it cannot be networked, and the chip design needs a lot of data support, which is fed back from the first-line fab in real time, which can minimize the chip design defects and cause the possibility of tape-out failure.
As for more than 5nm, many domestic software can also do it, so you said that he was stuck, and he was indeed stuck, but it was a little painless for the time being.
However, if Huaguo wants to really catch up with or even surpass the first echelon in the field of chips, and enter the process highland of 3 nanometers or even 2 nanometers, it is necessary to have a high-end domestic chip design software.
Kangchi doesn't know whether Haisi is using cracked EDA, or if, like Daqin Optics, he switched to Huada Jiutian's domestic design software.
But no matter which one you use, it's just barely usable, and there must be a certain gap between the work efficiency and the full version of the old MEDA.
For the plot machine, especially the chip design software, Kangchi has actually thought about it many times before, and the situation of being discovered has long been expected, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.
Originally, he also wanted to delay the launch of the domestic system together with another 'supercomputing plan' after the domestic system came out.
But even if it's discovered, it doesn't mean that it can't be delayed.
Although Kang Chi had a lot of thoughts, he was actually only stunned for a second, and in the face of the tight eyes of several Warwick bigwigs, Kang Chi smiled and said:
"That's right, I wrote a black technology software that designs chips, and it can even directly collapse your sea."
Collapsed?!
Although Kangchi's tone was obviously joking,
But I don't know why, the hearts of Mr. Ren and the others seemed to suddenly stop beating, and after a while, they finally felt that their hearts were beating violently......
"Mr. Kang's joke is too scary...... Mr. Ren smiled bitterly, "I'm not too scared at my age." ”
"It's because I know it's too scary, so I didn't take it out for the time being......"
“!!?”
"Mr. Kang wasn't joking just now?"
"Well, since you mentioned it today, I'll just tell you straight."
Kang Chi said slowly, word by word,
"My software can improve the design efficiency of chips by at least ten times, and ninety percent of back-end chip designers have to lose their jobs!"
When several bosses heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and they were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.
If what Kangchi said is true, this software will not only collapse them.
It is estimated that none of the global chip design companies will be spared.
Of course, the premise is that Kangchi hides this software and only uses it for himself or a small number of people.
If it is liberalized, then there is nothing to say, everyone is fair competition.
However, since Kangchi directly admitted it, it means that he has no idea of hiding.
At the very least, there should be no idea of breaking their seas.
Mr. Ren pondered for a few minutes before asking, "Is it convenient for Mr. Kang to tell me what you think?" ”
Kangchi nodded: "I will definitely take out this software, but not now, I am going to divide it into two stages." ”
"The first stage is to open up to domestic chip design companies one after another, and the premise of opening up is that you give 90% of the back-end designers to us Dahan Chip, and before changing the company, I hope you can transfer these people to become qualified front-end designers, we will conduct a special assessment for these people, and only after passing can the transfer be considered successful."
Mr. Ren: "......"
So Kangchi is ready to borrow this software and blatantly rob people?
But think about it from another angle, the people that Kangchi wants to rob are all employees who may face layoffs.
This can reduce the psychological burden and cost of layoffs.
At the same time, Dahan Core Industry also got the chip design talents they wanted.
As for the employees, it was seamless and avoided an unemployment crisis.
The result can be called a win-win-win.
The only problem is that it takes a lot of time and energy to complete Kangchi's so-called transfer training, which is equivalent to helping Kangchi cultivate talents for free......
But in the long run, it is definitely a cost-effective deal to save a lot of labor costs and R&D investment through a software.
Even trade early, make profits early!
If they don't do that, someone must be rushing to do it.
Thinking of this, Mr. Ren couldn't help but ask curiously, "What about the second stage?" ”
"The second stage, of course, is to cut the leeks of international friends, but the premise of global opening is that our chip design and manufacturing capabilities have surpassed and crushed them...... At the same time, I will also take an insurance that will never be cracked, and this insurance is actually the same for you. ”
"What insurance?"
"Cloud services." Kang Chi's expression began to become serious, and he said in a resolute tone,
"This set of chip design software will only exist in our company's supercomputing server, avoiding any possibility of being copied and cracked."
"Cloud services?!" Mr. Ren suddenly frowned, "Then aren't everyone's R&D projects clearly seen by you?" ”
"It's up to you to believe me or not, if you think I'm the kind of person who will plagiarize your plan, then you can choose not to."
Kangchi shrugged his shoulders and went on to explain,
"We will definitely have a set of encryption measures to ensure the privacy of each account, and each of your design actions, the server will keep a record, you can download and keep this data at any time, if you find that someone's chip has copied your plan, this data is the best evidence for prosecution."
"And you used the EDA of the M country guy before, can't you also read your design plan, otherwise how can they compare big data to achieve the purpose of reducing chip design defects? Isn't your design solution one of their big data? ”
Mr. Ren: "......"
In fact, it's still a little different.
They only sell software,
But you're selling software and chip design.
It is equivalent to the referee kicking the ball off the field.
Of course, the EDA software company of Lao M and some chip design companies must have a lot of data exchange behind their backs, but it is not as blatant as Kangchi......
