After arranging the candidate for the vice principal, Xu Li felt relaxed.
No longer bothered by trivial matters, Xu Li settled down to read and understand "Design of Universal Nanoimprinted Chips" in depth.
According to the message sent in my mind, the design of the nanoimprinted chip is different from that of ordinary chips.
Let’s take the chip architecture as an example.
Today, there are three mainstream chip architectures in the world: X86, ARM, and RISC-V. The world is almost divided into three parts.
X86 is a complex instruction set, generally used on servers or PCs.
ARM and RISC-V are reduced instruction sets.
ARM is more used in mobile terminals, such as Anzhuo and Fruit’s ios.
Before the emergence of RISC-V, the first two were considered the two dominant players in computer instruction set architecture.
Later, after the emergence of RISC-V, this monopoly trend was broken.
Longguo's computer industry is also gradually leaning towards RISC-V research.
Because RISC-V is open source and completely free and open, many developing countries and even some countries interested in developing their own chip industries have chosen this architecture.
But Xu Li’s nanoimprinted chip design also has its own unique chip architecture, which Xu Li simply names as the Baize architecture.
The English abbreviation is BZ architecture.
This architecture has the characteristics of "ambiguity" and can be used on both PC and mobile terminals. It has higher compatibility, speed and performance, and also has relatively low power consumption. The key point is that the AI smart chip can play a more significant role.
.
The only drawback is that it requires a nanoimprint machine to produce it, and it cannot be produced even with today's most advanced 5-nanometer lithography machine.
Nanolithography machines can produce photolithography chips, but imprinting chips cannot be produced by photolithography.
Therefore, if there are not enough nanoimprint machines, it will not be popularized on a large scale in a short time.
"It seems that it's time for me to design my own chip, but I can't use the three mainstream architectures today."
If you want to design a corresponding chip based on the Baize architecture, it will also require a lot of engineering.
First, we must complete the design of the instruction set.
Then you need to use an H language compiler to design this instruction set in H language.
But so far, except for him, who is familiar with the H language, no one else seems to know it.
Well, it seems that he has to choose the right person to take several classes at the right time.
Then before going to the mysterious base, let Academician Ni and Fan Songfeng gather the computer research talents of Baize Company and tell them how to compile H language.
Only in this way can we provide a strong knowledge base for the Baize architecture.
He also believes that the Baize chip instruction set architecture combined with H language will be more powerful.
Soon, he notified Academician Ni and Fan Songfeng, and the three of them held a meeting.
"Boy Xu, what do you want to do with us?"
Academician Ni was also straightforward. He was also curious as to why Xu Li called them here in such a hurry.
After all, Baize Company has a lot of things to do now, especially operating system matters that he and Dr. Fan are responsible for.
"Mr. Ni, don't worry, what do you think of my design drawings?"
Xu Li calmly put the documents on the table and motioned for them to read them by themselves.
"Design drawings? Do you have any new ideas?" Mr. Ni glanced at him suspiciously, then picked up the documents on the table.
When he saw the cover of the document, he was immediately attracted by the title line above.
[About the design of a new chip instruction set architecture]
"Instruction set architecture? Did you figure out the chip architecture?"
Mr. Ni was very surprised and looked up at Xu Li.
Let’s not talk about the operating system and nanoimprint machine that were developed in the past few days, but now we have developed a brand-new chip architecture.
Is this the speed a human can do?
He now has the idea of dissecting Xu Li to see how his brain grows.
"Yes, you can continue reading."
After hearing this, Mr. Ni and the two had no choice but to continue reading patiently.
The more I see this, the more shocked I become.
Mr. Ni doesn’t even know what to say.
"How did you come up with it? If this kind of chip architecture is really designed, then the status of X86 and ARM will probably not be guaranteed."
As an expert in the computer industry, he naturally knows what the information in his hand means.
But Xu Li was minding his own business and said: "The Baize architecture adopts a modular design concept. The designed chips can meet different needs according to different application scenarios, such as AI smart chips, which can better serve intelligence."
Home Scene."
"In other words, under the Baize architecture, high-performance, high-energy consumption chips can be developed, as well as low-frequency, low-power consumption chips..."
"If such a chip can really be designed, then this architecture is too powerful. It is simply a combination of ARM and x86!" Fan Songfeng said slightly excitedly.
By then we will no longer be afraid of being blocked by these chip architecture companies.
Because the patents for the current two major chip architectures are in the hands of Western giants, it will be very uncomfortable if one day they use this as an excuse.
Therefore, developing and designing your own architecture is a top priority.
This can avoid future patent storms.
"Well, when do we start?" Academician Ni seemed a little impatient.
Now that there is this brand new structure, he can't wait.
I can’t wait to invest in a new research project, so as to strive for a breakthrough one day earlier.
"In half a month, I have important things to do then. During this period, I will open the H language compiler to Baize Company. Then you will bring some core researchers to study and strive to have a solid theoretical foundation.
I will work with you to design this Baize architecture chip."
Xu Li held his chin and thought for a while, and decided to wait for half a month.
Now it is better to let the technical R&D personnel of Baize Company learn how to use the H language compiler first.
The H language compiler will also play a very important role in the future.
Computer operating systems like the Baize system require this compiler to improve the ecosystem.
When the time is right, he will open this compiler to the outside world, so as to stabilize the fortress of Baize System.
"Okay, you just have to make arrangements. If there's nothing else, I'll take this information and study it first."
Academician Ni took the document in his hand and fanned it.
"However, please pay attention to the confidentiality issue. Only the core personnel within Baize Company will know about it for the time being."
If this information is known to others, those old enemies may have to launch an offensive again.
It is better to develop in a low-key manner during this period.
"Of course I know this, so you don't have to worry about it, let's go!"
With that said, Academician Ni and the two left.
Xu Li was relieved to hand over this information to Academician Ni. It was just a design drawing anyway, and he had not shown the real core yet.
Moreover, Xiao Hei was monitoring the process, so he could sit back and relax for a while under the double protection.
