After hearing Xu Zhenming’s explanation, Zhang Neojin smiled and said, “Then we will give the names of Zhuque I and Zhuque II to the Longgong Group. Anyway, these two chips are designed for the Galaxy supercomputer, so why bother? Is it so stiff?"
He saw it very openly, and persuaded Xu Zhenming to give up his reputation for practical benefits.
There is some truth to this, Xu Zhenming is willing to adopt it even though he is not happy.He immediately called Gui Changshu: "President Gui, at 9:48, the first Suzaku IICPU will go offline, at 10:18, the first Suzaku ICPU will go offline. Would you like to see it?"
"Of course! Hahahaha." Gui Changshu laughed loudly on the phone.Soon after, he and Song Shitian hurried from outside the compound.
The four people came together to plant No. 2, guarding the end of the 0.6-micron chip production line, waiting for the Suzaku ICPU and Suzaku IICPU to go offline.
Suzaku ICPU is a 16-core processor, and Suzaku IICPU uses a 24-core processor.
With these two CPUs, a single chip can be used to make a server or workstation.But few people use such high-end CPUs to make low-value-added servers, and they generally use large computers or giant computers.
"Or your company's production line is advanced and highly automated."
"Yes, I found that this production line has many improvements."
The four people stood outside the glass window wearing masks, and Song Shitian and Gui Changshu whispered with strange expressions.
The two of them were surprised to find that the 0.6-micron chip production line of Mingxin Manufacturing Company had many improvements.This is Foundry's production technology, which cannot be done without experience accumulation and proprietary technology.
Therefore, Gui Changshu and Song Shitian once again requested Xu Zhenming to send the technical master Zhang Nykin to personally guide the technical team members of their two factories.
But what is the use?The basic knowledge is weak. Zhang Nyongjin just improved their chip production line. What should I do if he encounters another new task?
"Mr. Song and Mr. Gui, the best way is for your two companies to send personnel from the production management team to receive training. Chip manufacturing technology requires accumulation of experience, and you can't eat tofu if you are impatient." Zhang Nyjin explained with a wry smile.
He told Gui Changshu and Song Shitian that for every chip to be taped out, the production process must be reorganized and the most advanced production plan must be made.Therefore, the equipment on the production line needs to be improved!
"Eh..." Gui Changshu and Song Shitian couldn't help shaking their heads and sighed when they heard this.According to Zhang Neojin, the chip production lines of their two companies need to lose money for some time.
While the four of them were discussing, the Suzaku IICPU had been transported from the transportation belt of the packaging production line.
"Leader Xu, the old rules, the first Suzaku II CPU, I want to bring it back to the capital for review by the headquarter leaders." Seeing this scene, Gui Changshu smiled excitedly.For him, the Suzaku II CPU manufactured by Yiming Group is also the pride and pride of Chinese people.It also fills up the domestic gap.
"Haha...no problem!" Xu Zhenming certainly wouldn't refuse Gui Changshu's proposal.He told Gui Changshu that the Zhuque ICPU and Zhuque IICPU were specially prepared for the Galaxy supercomputer and should be turned over to the Longbow Group.
"It's better that Mr. Xu has a high consciousness." Hearing these words, Song Shitian looked at Gui Changshu with envy.
He is also eager to have this kind of opportunity to report good news to the leaders of the capital headquarters.If Huajing Chip Company can take out the Zhuque ICPU and Zhuque IICPU, he will immediately be promoted to the relevant department of the capital headquarters.Now, the yield rate of Huajing chip Foundry is so low, why is he embarrassed to return to the capital?
When Gui Changshu heard Xu Zhenming say this, he was a little embarrassed: "Leader Xu. You are a bit too much to do this. Our Longbow Group will not mess around. So let's transfer the technology of the Suzaku ICPU and Suzaku IICPU. Give us Longbow Group. We will pay."
Xu Zhenming is waiting for his words!
In order to develop these two chips, Yiming Group has invested more than six million in cash, not including basic costs such as the salary of the scientific research team.If Longbow Group is willing to pay for these two CPUs, that would be great.
Therefore, Xu Zhenming smiled and ordered Zhang Nyujin to deal with Gui Changshu's request.At this time, you can't talk about money with Gui Changshu. Talking about money hurts your feelings.
"Small Zhang, Suzaku ICPU No. 3019960429016-001 and Suzaku II CPU No. 3019960429024-001 were packaged and packaged immediately. These two CPUs are souvenirs handed over to the Longbow Group."
"Xiao Wang, you are now ready to test the Suzaku IICPU and Suzaku ICPU."
"Xiao Song, you are immediately ready to send the Zhuque IICPU and the Zhuque ICPU chip to the testing laboratory, and hand it over to Professor Long's team for testing."
After receiving Xu Zhenming's instruction, Zhang Neojin immediately began to arrange work and began testing the two high-end CPUs.
Because the Suzaku IICPU integrates 24 core processors, it is much larger than the general Longteng 133CPU, and about a quarter larger than the Suzaku ICPU.The performance of these two CPUs can only be tested through professional testing platforms and instruments.
Ever since, Xu Zhenming led Gui Changshu and Song Shitian from the clean room and went to the testing laboratory where Professor Long and others were located.
"Yiming Group has no experience in designing CPU chips for supercomputers, can it work?"
"The Galaxy III project is not ordinary. It is a task personally arranged for us by the chief. If it is screwed up, how can we explain it to the superior."
"Ms. Wang is right. We must be careful when testing Suzaku II CPU and Suzaku III CPU this time."
In the laboratory, Professor Long's team members were talking in a low voice while assembling equipment to test and testing instruments.
This scene happened to be met by Xu Zhenming, Gui Changshu, Song Shitian and others. Are you embarrassing?
"These teachers actually look down on our Yiming Lab? Haha... Are you crazy if you want to do meritorious service?" Xu Zhenming thought with a pale expression.
"Cough, cough!" At this moment, the trunk of Gui Chang coughed a few times and looked at Professor Long with a stern look.
He was asking Professor Long, why didn't he stop his colleagues immediately?Let them not talk nonsense.Gui Changshu knows Xu Zhenming's character, and he is afraid that Xu Zhenming will go crazy on the spot. It will be difficult to deal with everyone's face.
However, Xu Zhenming did not freak out, and greeted Professor Long with a smile, "Professor Long. We are planning to transfer the technology patents of Suzaku I and Suzaku II to Longgong Group. But in terms of chip performance, you have to check it yourself. Okay."
"Eh? Good... good!" Professor Long was surprised when he heard what Xu Zhenming said.
He didn't expect Xu Zhenming to be so generous. He would transfer the results developed by Yiming's laboratory if he said it was transferred.This kind of mind is rare in the team engaged in technology research and development anyway.
Professor Long felt a little embarrassed because of this, with a fever on his face.The complaints of the professors under him are actually the complaints deep in his heart.Finally, with the Longteng EDA software and the opportunity to design supercomputer CPUs and processors, who doesn’t want to be famous?
The Yiming Laboratory of Yiming Group has silently designed the Suzaku series of high-end CPU chips, and it has been successfully taped out.Of course, Professor Long was not happy, and deliberately indulged the engineers in the team, thus appearing just now.
Now Xu Zhenming has come up with such a generous plan to hand over the patented technology of the Suzaku series of CPUs. Professor Long could not sit still, and said with a reddish face: "Xu Dong. Our Galaxy project team will give the Yiming Lab's The credit was reported to the relevant departments. The code name of this project was changed to [Galaxy III Suzaku Core]!"
"Galaxy III Versus Core? Haha... No! We don't need this false name. As long as the Galaxy III supercomputer project is successful. We are willing to make contributions to the national project without leaving a name." Xu Zhenming, who gave the gift package, will Care about this false name?
The more Xu Zhenming was like this, the more embarrassed Professor Long.The professors under him were the same, smiling awkwardly at this time, not daring to look at Xu Zhenming.
"Xu Dong. After the Suzaku series chips are finalized, when will your group be able to supply them normally?" Professor Long turned off the topic, trying to dilute the awkward atmosphere in the laboratory.
He told Xu Zhenming:
The Galaxy III supercomputer originally planned to use Intel's Pentium 166 CPU as a parallel node processor, and the central processor uses Pentium PRO. The basic word length is 64 bits and the maximum calculation speed is 13 billion times.But our country has been able to produce Longteng 133CPU, the processor of the Galaxy III super-tech computer, so it is natural to choose Longteng CPU.
"In order to achieve the best peak performance, I plan to use 2096 Suzaku II CPUs connected in parallel and distributed shared storage structure. This time our Galaxy III supercomputer should be the fastest supercomputer in the world, and the peak performance will not be lower. 95 billion times. If the layout is reasonable, it will not be difficult to exceed 100 billion times."
Professor Long was excited to introduce the performance of Galaxy III.
Supercomputers are cutting-edge technologies that directly affect the technological development of a country.For example, weather forecasting, cutting-edge physics calculations, oil project calculations... etc.Few countries in the world can develop this kind of supercomputer.It can be seen as the embodiment of a country's technological level.
Professor Long told Xu Zhenming: He dared to do this because the domestic Suzaku series CPU was cheap, and used limited funds to develop the world's fastest computer.
Hearing this, Xu Zhenming had a much better impression of Professor Long."Professor Long. As long as you give the task, we will complete the production of the Suzaku series CPU within ten days." He solemnly nodded and promised Professor Long that Yiming Group would go all out and work overtime to support the Galaxy project.
"Hey...still can't get up soon. There are no large-capacity memory sticks and graphics card chipsets. We need to redesign." Professor Long originally planned to take out the Galaxy III supercomputer on October 1st to present the National Day of the motherland.But the conditions are not met and we can only give up.
And Xu Zhenming believes that this matter can be made in a hurry, and Yiming Lab can undertake part of the design task.For example, the GPU of the graphics card, the 1GB large capacity memory stick, etc.
"Can you design these chips?" Professor Long was surprised when he heard this.
Not only that, but the professors who are testing the Suzaku II CPU chip are the same, and they all cast surprised eyes.
Seeing this situation, Xu Zhenming asked Hu Chunmei to immediately invite Zhou Jiawei to arrange design tasks in this laboratory.
Not long after, Zhou Jiawei came to this testing laboratory and told Xu Zhenming with joy: "Xu Dong. I have tested it personally. Both the Zhuque ICPU and the Zhuque II CPU are very successful. The technical index parameters are in line with the original design."
"Well, good!" Xu Zhenming was of course happy to hear the good news.Although Zhuque I and Zhuque II cannot make big money, the Longbow Group will certainly not let Xu Zhenming suffer.For this, Xu Zhenming is confident enough.
"Eh? The Yiming Lab has tested the Suzaku series CPU Ming?"
"Then we must speed up the testing process immediately!"
Professor Long’s team members heard that Yiming’s laboratory had passed the self-inspection and thought that the Suzaku series CPUs were fine.They were a little flustered at this time, feeling hot on their faces.Xu Zhenming personally ran into him talking about complaints, and Xu Zhenming's face was swollen.
And Xu Zhenming will not pay attention to the ideas of these professors and engineers.
"How is the design of our memory chip set? Can we take out 1GB memory sticks before 1997?" He smiled and asked Zhou Jianwei, suggesting that Zhou's family immediately set up a research and development team to develop memory chip particles.
At present, Micron of the United States, Xiangdai Electronics of Goryeo, and Sanxin Electronics of Goryeo are the world's most powerful memory stick manufacturers.
Yiming Group was able to develop 1GB memory sticks based on the support of the three giants of Korea, Xiangdai Electronics, LG Electronics and Sanxin Electronics.
"Xu Dong, this is probably a bit difficult. Chip design needs to be accumulated and cannot be done overnight. Our project team is relatively new to memory design projects. I am afraid that it will take a period of time to learn, and it will take 1GB of memory at the earliest in January 2017. A trial product. As for the design and production of a 512MB memory module, we have no problem now."
The Zhou family thought for a while, and gave a speculation result that surprised Xu Zhenming.
For 1GB memory sticks, Korea’s three major companies will not come up with test samples until 1997.This high-end memory stick is used only by servers, mainframe computers and supercomputers.The price is too expensive for ordinary people to use.
"It doesn't matter. As long as your group can provide us with 512MB of RAM in January 1997, it will certainly not affect our Galaxy III supercomputer project."
At this time, after listening to Zhou Jiawei's introduction, Professor Long was very satisfied.He intends to use the Galaxy III supercomputer as a "May Day gift" to give congratulations to the motherland.
Seeing this, Xu Zhenming waved his hand to Zhou Jiawei and assigned the second task, "You will arrange another group to develop GUP."
"GPU? What do you mean?" Zhou Jiawei was surprised when there was no GPU in this era, and looked at Xu Zhenming with a poor look.
Seeing Zhou Jiawei's astonishment, Xu Zhenming explained this new term."GPU is an image processor. ATI company named VPU."
He asked Zhou Jiawei to immediately start developing the GPU chipset, which must be able to support 3D graphics processing and support the VGL three-bit graphics application program interface library brought by the Longteng operating system.
"This... this task may take a while, and we will complete it before October 1."
After hearing Xu Zhenming's words, Zhou Jiawei replied with frowning brows.
