Chapter 339 I don’t believe it—fuck, I believe it!
"Mr. Ren, what should we do now? The EDA software can't be used, and we don't know what to do now, unless we use pirated ones, but if we use pirated ones, the foundries will basically not produce them for us."
In the president's office of Hays Semiconductor, President Xu Jun is calling their founder Ren Zhengfei.
The EDA software can no longer be used. As the president, Xu Jun is definitely facing the greatest pressure. After all, he is the president in charge of so many people in the company, and now their entire company is almost in a state of bankruptcy. Of course he feels
Extremely anxious.
He even got news that more than half of the chip designers in his company had received invitations from foreign companies, such as Apple, Intel and other companies, and he felt very helpless about this matter.
On the opposite side, Ren Zhengfei already knew the situation, but he still remained calm and said directly: "Let's continue the design using pirated software, and I will think about the next problems."
As EDA software is software, it can naturally be pirated.
However, EDA software manufacturers obviously cannot sit back and watch their software be pirated, so the frequency of EDA software updates will be very frequent. In addition to adding some new functions from time to time, the most important thing is to change various parameters and then produce
Shangzai has reached a cooperation with the chip foundry so that the EDA software of the chip foundry will always be updated to the latest version. Therefore, those chip files designed using pirated software will naturally not be recognized by the foundry's software.
Unless the foundry also uses the same pirated software, however, if you do so, you will easily be sued. In any case, once the fact of using pirated software is established, you will definitely lose the case in court.
Of course, no matter what, using pirated software for design first to ensure the development process is what they have to do under the current situation.
After hearing Ren Zhengfei's instructions, Xu Jun immediately responded: "Okay, I will let them use pirated software immediately."
"Well, don't be too anxious. There will be a road for the car to reach the mountain and for the boat to reach the bridge. It will pass by naturally."
Ren Zhengfei smiled and comforted.
"Thank you, Mr. Ren, I understand."
Xu Jun responded quickly and also sighed in his heart. He is truly worthy of Mr. Ren, who can maintain such calmness even at such a time.
Then, after hanging up the phone, Xu Jun immediately told their chip designers the news, and at the same time brought out Mr. Ren's name, temporarily letting them feel at ease. Next, they can only look forward to their
Mr. Ren, we can find a solution.
At the same time, Ren Zhengfei, who was sitting in his office, also put down the phone, but his face did not look calm, but looked very troubled.
This matter is very difficult to solve.
There are only two ways to solve this problem.
One way is to open a company abroad. Of course, these software can be used abroad. However, if these companies really go abroad, then their wealth and life will be in the hands of others. This is definitely
It's what the other person wants to see.
The second method is to develop their own EDA software that can replace those top foreign manufacturers. This is the right way. However, this takes a lot of time, and maybe in the process, their top talents will be poached by others.
If they leave, their vitality will be seriously damaged.
Therefore, Ren Zhengfei found it difficult to handle.
But then, he remembered someone.
It was this person who suddenly called him and asked him if he was interested in reproducing Kirin 9000. Then a miracle happened.
This person is Lin Xiao.
The old man's heart suddenly moved, then he picked up the phone again and called Lin Xiao again.
Soon, the call came through.
Ren Zhengfei smiled and said, "Professor Lin, how are you doing lately?"
Lin Xiao's voice came from the opposite side: "It's Mr. Ren, he's been doing well lately."
"Haha, that's great, that's great. By the way, our mate40S mobile phone launch is about to start. At that time, our Kirin 9000s chip will be officially unveiled. I wonder if Professor Lin is interested in participating?"
"Oh? Congratulations to you, but I won't go to the press conference. I'll just wait for your good news."
At this moment, Lin Xiao, who was sitting in Kong Huaan's office, had a smile on his face.
"Haha, that's okay." Ren Zhengfei responded with a smile. After the polite words at the beginning, it was time to get down to the topic, "By the way, Professor Lin should know about the EDA software during this time, right?"
"Of course I know that." Lin Xiao said, "It seems that you, Mr. Ren, have also encountered a problem."
"Sigh." Ren Zhengfei sighed and said: "Of course the problem we encountered is huge, but no matter what, we must find a way to solve this matter, so I'm here to find Professor Lin. I want to hear
Let’s see if Professor Lin can do anything.”
"Then you have found the right person." Lin Xiao laughed immediately.
When he heard this sentence, Ren Zhengfei was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Does Professor Lin have a solution?"
"In a few days, I will send you an EDA software, and then you can experience the function."
"Okay! That's good!" Ren Zhengfei's tone became excited.
In fact, after making the call, he regretted a little, because he suddenly felt that there was no need to bother Lin Xiao anymore with this kind of thing.
Lin Xiao is not Doraemon, so he can get whatever he wants.
However, the surprise came too quickly like a tornado. I had no hope at first, but in the end I heard such good news from Lin Xiao.
"Well, that's it."
After Lin Xiao said one sentence, he said no more, said goodbye, and hung up the phone.
Then, he turned his eyes again.
In front of him is a computer, and he is writing a program at the moment.
At the same time, Kong Huaan was sitting next to him, writing a program on another computer.
And the programs they wrote are the differentiated functions they created.
Although Lin Xiao is not a programmer, his writing speed is not slow at all. At the same time, the programs he writes are also very outstanding, almost the kind of optimization that has little to be optimized.
Even Kong Huaan next to him couldn't help but be surprised.
Originally, I thought that Lin Xiao should handle the math issues, so he came to solve the computer issues.
But the ability Lin Xiao showed now made him feel invincible again.
Of course, he recovered quickly. Lin Xiao was indeed very strong, but there was no need to lose confidence.
He once dreamed of being a hacker, but now he has become a top hacker, so his ideal has also changed, that is, to become another Turing.
If he loses this confidence now, then there is no need for him to have any ideals.
So he took back his thoughts and continued writing the program.
In this way, time passed quickly.
Two days later.
…
Kong Huaan hit the Enter key, and rows of data flashed on the screen in front of them, with a progress bar underneath.
As time passed slowly, the progress bar finally reached 100%, and then a comfortable green checkmark appeared, and then an interface popped up.
Looking at the data displayed on the page, the two people who had always looked serious had smiles on their faces.
The fake attack program passed all tests.
On the interface that pops up, the data displayed are exactly the optimization suggestions given and the problematic circuits.
At this moment, they can already call this function flawless!
"Beautiful!" Kong Hua'an couldn't help but exclaimed. Such a wonderful program was worthy of his emotion.
Lin Xiao also nodded: "Next, we will continue to run deep learning on this intelligent program, and this function will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future!"
"Yeah." Kong Huaan nodded.
Deep learning allows intelligence to have the ability to learn, and this function is very important for artificial intelligence. Of course, their program also belongs to artificial intelligence, so through continuous learning, the ability to analyze integrated circuits in the future will only be
It will get stronger and stronger.
"Okay, so be it."
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "It's time to save our domestic chip design industry."
Kong Huaan nodded. Indeed, it is time to end the EDA software turmoil during this period.
"I'll contact Warwick Company and let them try it out first, and you can prepare for the launch of this software."
"Um."
Kong Huaan nodded, "Okay."
Lin Xiao then said no more and called Ren Zhengfei directly, "Mr. Ren, the software you want will be here soon. Please check your email for it. I've been waiting for a long time."
Ren Zhengfei was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Soon, not long."
Then, Lin Xiao sent the EDA software to Ren Zhengfei's email address, and Ren Zhengfei soon passed the software to Xu Jun.
When Xu Jun received the news from Ren Zhengfei, he was still very confused.
Why did Ren Zhengfei send him an EDA software?
And it seems to be made in China.
I haven't even heard of the name.
What is Anwar EDA?
But since it was sent by Ren Zhengfei, he naturally opened this domestic EDA software with a tentative attitude.
The pure Chinese interface was refreshing to him and felt quite rare. These days, not to mention foreign software, just their domestic EDA software, many of them use English interfaces, and the Chinese package needs to be downloaded separately.
Even, this software pops up a guidance interface.
After looking around, he was surprised.
"These functions...are a bit of something!"
Until finally, he saw another function, "Smart attack detection? What is this?"
With doubts, he read the introduction about this function, and finally realized how powerful this function is.
"Are you kidding? This kind of function can also be realized? Can all circuits be quickly detected using intelligence?"
Xu Jun felt very unbelievable.
He is an EDA software designer himself, so of course he knows how abnormal this function is. Once it can be realized, it will be of great help to their work!
"I don't believe it."
If you don’t believe it, then of course you have to try it.
But after trying it, he was shocked.
"Damn it, I believed it!"
This so-called smart attack detection function actually works!
And not only can it be used, its detection speed is very fast, and it is extremely accurate!
