Chapter 112: Mobile Phone, SMS

Su Yuanshan was once in charge of logical design, and knew that Gao Xiaodi was one of the few "tallest people in China".

Engineers who are engaged in logical design generally have a solid mathematical foundation. And as we all know, people who are good at math have always been a little proud.

When the IC design team was set up to engage in decoding chips, most of Su Yuanshan's group also chose people with a good mathematical background. Thanks to Su Yuanshan personally in charge, and the team leader is Li Mingliu, a T big student who is not convinced by anyone except Xi and Su, he was able to control the field, otherwise Xiao Shouping and Gao Xiaodi would have to do it.

But now, Gao Xiaodi is very excited - the nest of being a novice instructor for half a year has been swept away.

Now Li Mingliu was sent by Su Yuanshan to Shanghai to engage in caching, which means that the CPU team here will be directly led by Su Yuanshan - since the completion of EDA, Su Yuanshan has not personally led the team to do projects......

So who else can the actual person in charge of the CPU team be besides him Gao Xiaodi?

Su Yuanshan instantly saw through Gao Xiaodi's careful thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Gao, you can't take the X86 team. ”

Gao Xiao was stunned for the first time, and immediately became unconvinced: "Why can't you take it?"

Su Yuanshan admired this "why", but he still shook his head: "X86 is a complex instruction set, and there are many addressing methods, which will inevitably lead to complex structures...... And now it's mainly the architecture and module design phase. ”

"We're going to use a joint development approach with Cyrix, and they've already gained a lot of experience in the reverse process, so we need to listen to them and understand what they've learned. Then choose what you're good at. ”

Gao Xiaodi was stunned again.

He is proud of himself, but not so conceited that he thinks he is the best in the world. Although Yuanxin and Xinghai are sisters in name, they are foreigners over there after all. Cooperative development, if Yuanxin wants to get the initiative, it must send a big guy to lead the team.

And to suppress the Cyrix group on the other side, who are already "experienced" and have even built CPUs, only the big guys can do it.

And such a big guy, there are only two people in the entire Yuanxin.

Xi Xiaoding and Su Yuanshan.

But Gao Xiaodi still wanted to confirm: "It means that you personally lead the group?"

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "Well, I will lead the big group and be responsible for the MMX instruction set and the overall architecture." ”

Although the core code name is named Thor "Thor", it is the P55C core in its bones, that is, the Pentium MMX core.

Su Yuanshan originally wanted to go directly to what he was best at, that is, the Klamath core used by Pentium II, but after careful consideration, he found that he couldn't fly with these people, and he couldn't do it for four or five years - by then the daylilies would be cold. So I had to settle for the next best thing and start with MMX.

As a "commercial spy" who used to work at Intel, Su Yuanshan was not easy to copy too obviously, and he had to wait until Cyrix's technical files came over there to adjust the architecture according to the level of technology they mastered.

When Gao Xiaodi heard that Su Yuanshan personally led the group, he was completely convinced.

The three chatted for a while, and Su Yuanshan returned to his office.

Before he entered the door, he saw Tian Yaoming walking around his desk constantly.

"Senior Brother Tian, are you looking for crickets?"

Su Yuanshan opened the door with his shoulder, and Okita Yaoming smiled.

But obviously, Tian Yaoming didn't have the heart to joke with him today, he saw Su Yuanshan enter the door and strode up to greet him: "I received the news, Nokia's GSM mobile terminal is ready for mass production." ”

Su Yuanshan was stunned, and immediately smiled: "What does it matter? The standard GSM we use was originally made by Europe, and it is normal for them to come out with mass production first." It's okay, you just have to take your time. ”

"It's a big deal! Now we are two teams, nearly 300 people! There are about 100 Silicon Valley elites! Nokia has less than 200 people engaged in GSM. Tian Yaoming was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "The main thing is that whoever comes out with the mass production machine first will be able to participate in the promotion of the GSM standard." ”

"It's still early, and I haven't considered what network to use in China, don't worry. Su Yuanshan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Tian, you won't talk to me about this, right?"

"Hey, you're the boss. Tian Yaoming was amused: "Of course it's not about this, our side is actually almost the same baseband." There are only two algorithms left for digital signal processing that have not been completed-isn't Mr. Xi back?

"No, I can't. Su Yuanshan immediately refused.

“......”

Su Yuanshan sighed: "Senior brother, Senior Brother Xi's algorithm is powerful, but it takes time for him to get familiar with your project, and then he is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to solve it as easily as solving equations." Isn't that right?"

Tian Yaoming was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed.

"And Senior Brother Xi is now compiling books and teaching new students, and he has always wanted to work on mathematical software. It's always bad to pull him in halfway like this. If you're really short of algorithms, we can go to the math academy to find out. ”

"Besides, GSM I'm really not in a hurry, you guys are working steadily, practice the basics well, and our breakthrough period will be in the follow-up faster and more stable 3G and 4G networks. ”

Su Yuanshan thought about it again and said: "If you really want to produce results in a hurry, I have an idea - do you have an engineering prototype?"

Tian Yaoming said: "Over there in Silicon Valley, the GSM Standards Committee has set up a base station, so Howard is going to test it once and try to see if the early efforts have been in vain." But according to Howard's and my estimates, the bug should be in the call quality. ”

Saying that, Tian Yaoming sighed again: "On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that this matter will be taped out - this sentence is true." ”

Su Yuanshan Yile: "Yes, so it costs money to engage in SOC......

"What's your idea?"

"Hmm...... GSM is a digital signal, so it can theoretically transmit text. Since there are only algorithms left on your side, don't let everyone stumble and change their brains. Go to Senior Brother Jiang upstairs to cooperate, and see if you can build a system for GSM, the kind that can forward text messages, similar to ......"

"Damn!

Tian Yaoming just sat down, and immediately bounced up after hearing the text message!

He started with a Chinese digital pager, and of course he knew that digital signals could transmit text. And the GSM standard is not only that, but also the Internet......

Tian Yaoming's eyes flashed, he breathed a few times rapidly, and then clenched his fists: "Mobile communication terminal equipment is not as good as paging, it has the ability to send and receive, and it also has the ability to code. We can do peer-to-peer text communication! It's like sending an email!"

"Well, that's right. It's similar to sending emails, and each mobile communication terminal is called a mobile phone in the future. Each mobile phone has a fixed number, which is equivalent to a mailbox, and then the base station is similar to a mail server...... No one has come up with that standard yet, has it?"

Su Yuanshan looked at Tian Yaoming with a smile.

Tian Yaoming smiled: "No, Howard stares at ETSI (European Telecommunications Standardization Institute) every day, and he is sure that there is no such standard." ”

"Hurry up, this should be easy for you. That's right...... This text message is called a text message. ”

"Cell phone...... Sms. Tian Yaoming repeated, nodded and said, "It sounds quite smooth, this is it." ”

Of course, Su Yuanshan's heart was smooth...... It has been called for thirty years.
