Chapter 423

After strolling around the robot laboratory for a while, Lei Tiantang asked Kong Yu standing beside him with a smile: "manager Kong, I just heard Chen Zijun say that the CPU chip for this household robot is developed and produced by our company?"

"Yes, boss. In fact, director Chen said less. This robot is not only developed and manufactured by our chip laboratory, but also its GPU chip and other chips!

There are several types of chips used in a robot, so our chip lab is currently developed according to the overall design SOC!

It's also because our company's most profitable product is home robots, and at present our home robot chips have been cut off because of mutual sanctions with the United States.

Although our reserves can still be used in February next year, we can only produce the chips in the back by ourselves, so the chip lab is now focusing on the intelligent chips of robots! " Kong Yu replied with a smile.

Lei Tiantang also knows something about chip R & D and design. The company's robots are all intelligent robots and have high requirements on the AI of the chip. The CPU is only the central processing unit. It is only a processing element. There is no way to support the company's robot operation by relying on a CPU.

Therefore, there is almost no simple CPU design, all are direct SoC design, SOC will inevitably have GPU, so there is no need to hand AI computing tasks to CPU, GPU for this problem to deal with more skilled and fast, more suitable for this kind of repetitive calculation.

"Good! To tell you the truth, although our company has money, the money for purchasing these chips really hurt us! We now have our own chip R & D and manufacturing capabilities, which is very important for the future of the company!

Go! Let's go to the chip lab and have a look! I want to know what's going on. " Lei Tiantang said happily.

While chatting, they drove towards the direction of the chip laboratory in the battery car. As the development and production of chips have high requirements on the environment, the chip laboratory is an independent building that has been decorated separately. This building has been built by a technology company for a long time. After Lei Tiantang has completed the experimental equipment, this building has been assigned to the name of the chip laboratory.

After carrying out the dust removal operation and changing the dust-proof clothes, Lei Tiantang also entered the chip Laboratory for the first time. To be honest, he did not expect that they had made progress so fast.

It took less than half a year to hand over the experimental equipment and production equipment to them. He thought that the chip would not be developed until next year at least, so he did not pay attention to it after the equipment was handed over to them.

"Welcome to the chip lab, boss! You finally think of our chip Lab! " As soon as we met, Wu Guisheng, director of the chip lab, said with a smile.

"Ha ha, Lao Wu, you said that! My fault, I really care less about your side, but you should tell me if you have a breakthrough. If you said this at the last meeting, I would have come to see it!

I really didn't expect that you could design all kinds of chips used in robots in such a short time. Now the difficulty of chip design is reduced? " Lei Tiantang also said with a smile.

He didn't care about Wu Guisheng's teasing. Everyone was young people, and they were familiar with each other. Lei Tiantang had many technical exchanges with him. That is to say, Lei Tiantang's technology completely surpassed that of the supercomputer department, and there was less contact between them.

This guy is a real genius. He was originally a top artificial intelligence expert in the supercomputer department. After knowing that the company was going to develop its own chip, he went to Lei Tiantang and asked him to take charge of the project.

At that time, Lei Tiantang was shocked by him. You should know that many of these experts were recruited by him. What's more, Wu Guisheng was the first batch of hackers who passed the screening and was recruited by him.

When recruiting him, Lei Tiantang valued his advanced consciousness in the field of artificial intelligence, but he didn't expect that he was still a top hardware expert. After chatting with him for an afternoon, Lei Tiantang immediately agreed to let him take charge of the company's chip R & D project.

"How can it be that the design difficulty has been reduced! Boss, this problem makes people sad again. We have worked hard for such a long time to complete the research and development of chips needed on the robot! The reason why

can develop such a variety of chips so quickly is that the advantage of backwardness is also a key factor, except for the awesome power provided by the boss.

Now we are not developing chips from scratch. We all know all the chip technologies on the market very well. From experience, we have taken a lot of detours.

The most important thing is that our company's AI "origin" is really helpful to our chip design! As long as we design the chip structure in detail, and then input all the design data into the supercomputer, "origin" will simulate our design.

For example, whether the layout is reasonable, whether the indicators of the chip meet the requirements, whether there are conflicts in the design of multithreading, and so on, "origin" can be found out by simulation calculation in the first time.In this way, our design work will reduce a lot of trial and error links, real-time modification, real-time simulation calculation, it is just like opening a hang. With such artifact, how can our research and development speed not be fast? " Wu Guisheng replied triumphantly.

"Good! That's good! However, the "origin" is so awesome, so what kind of server chip do you design for it? Lei Tiantang asked with a smile.

"Of course, we will not neglect such an important thing. The more computing power we add to" origin ", the more help it will give us. Therefore, the plans to increase servers for it are all carried out simultaneously.

However, because the company's most needed chips are related to robots, the research and development of server chips is a little backward. Now the whole project has entered the middle stage, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a few months!

The main reason is that the chip requirements of the server class are much higher than the chip used on the robot, so in terms of the difficulty of research and development, it is a step higher than the chip used on the robot.

Fortunately, we have completed the research and development of the chip used on the robot. In addition to a variety of tests, there is not much work in this area, so now everyone's energy has been put into this side! We guarantee that "origin" can use the server developed by our company in the shortest time Wu Guisheng said confidently.
