Chapter 466 The choice of technology

Speaking of which, over the years, the fastest way for Xu You to improve his brain power is to rely on improving his system learning level.

This kind of level improvement can instantly obtain a mysterious energy, directly improving Xu You's brain power by a new level.

Of course, this incredible way, which even Xu You himself cannot explain now, obviously should not be suggested to Lou Song.

"My personal experience is that every time you think deeply, you can improve a small part of your brain power. The brain seems to be like a muscle. The more you exercise, the stronger it becomes."

Lou Song nodded vigorously when he heard this and said: "Yes! I am the same. Every time I think about a difficult problem, I feel that my brain will change a little. However, it has to be a particularly difficult problem. Speaking of which, when I was in school,

Those difficult questions that the teacher left for me were basically ineffective."

Mentioning this matter, Xu You couldn't help but laugh.

At that time, Xu You's roommate Guo Haoran also received special treatment from the teacher because of his "outstanding performance."

However, those topics that were not worth mentioning in Lou Song's eyes were all "good orchid" in Guo Haochen's eyes.

"The questions that I want you to find difficult are not ordinary questions. Lou Song, apart from normal thinking, do you have any other tips for improving your brainpower?"

Lou Song thought for a while and said: "It's also a question, but the method may be a little different. Sometimes, I can complete the process of solving the problem directly in my brain, and it's faster than using scratch paper. This way to solve the problem

Problem, it will be more comfortable than the normal way."

When Xu You heard this, wasn't this the same as his own deep thinking state and brain simulation?

"Lou Song, I feel the same way you feel. When I'm in good condition, I can simulate various reactions in my brain, or play chess with myself. When the brain is thinking highly, the speed of improvement of brain power is indeed

It will be faster."

"Wonderful! I have always felt that the brain is like physical fitness. It is not only innate, but can also be continuously improved through acquired training. However, there is also an age limit. After a certain age, the peak of brain power will be reached.

It is impossible to continue to improve. Before reaching this limit, we must seize the opportunity to improve our brain power. It is estimated that after the age of forty at most, it will be difficult to continue to improve."

In the sports world, athletes often reach their peak in their twenties or thirties, and few can continue to improve beyond the age of forty.

The Fields Medal, the "Nobel Prize" in mathematics, will only be awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40, which can also illustrate similar problems.

Xu You and Lou Song continued their research after exchanging their methods of improving brain power.

…

With the joint efforts of Xu You, Lou Song and others, as well as Suanjing Artificial Intelligence.

We have successfully completed the development of computer chip EDA software and are ready to enter the chip design stage.

"I didn't expect that AI could play such a big role in the field of EDA. Without artificial intelligence, we would definitely not have completed the development of computer chip EDA so quickly and so well."

"Yes, if this continues, we humans will probably have nothing to do in the future, and all work can be solved by AI."

Hearing everyone talking about artificial intelligence, Xu You went over and explained with a smile:

"In fact, AI can help us solve these problems now, largely due to the powerful computing power of AI. In the field of EDA, AI has two main applications, one is to predict performance, and the other is to help the tool be used more automatically.

This is all inseparable from AI’s special algorithms and powerful computing power.”

"Professor Xu, can you explain it to us in detail?"

Seeing that everyone was curious about the specific principles, Xu You patiently explained it.

"In terms of predicting performance, the back-end design process is very long, so the parts we can see in front of us are actually very far away from the back-end. Relying on the powerful computing power of AI, we can quickly see the performance of the back-end.

It greatly improves the accuracy of simulation and the performance of optimization. Even if it can only be improved by 5% or 10%, it is a huge improvement for the overall situation."

"As for the issue of tool automation, it is easier to understand. If you only run the data once, there will be no difference in speed between manual and AI. If you run dozens or hundreds of times in a row, the difference in speed will be

Big. On this, our AI is not only faster, but also gives recommended parameters and expected results within a reasonable range."

Xu You used very popular language to explain the specific principles to everyone, and everyone quickly understood it.

The next step is to use EDA software to design the chip.

Because of the issue of compatibility between the chip and the system, a mature system must be built only after the chip design is completed.

It is very normal for various bugs to appear between the chip and the system.

The system can be modified to accommodate the chip, but once the chip is made, it cannot be modified.

Regarding the chip manufacturing process, everyone is also actively discussing.

"According to the latest internal news, our EUV lithography machine has basically completed all the preparation work, and only the final testing stage is left. If nothing else happens, we will be able to make our own high-precision chips soon."

This news makes everyone very excited, but it has not yet been determined when this lithography machine will be available.

"My suggestion is to design computer chips with 10nm or 14nm process technology first. Such a process technology does not require the use of EUV lithography machines, and our technology is more mature. Moreover, compared to mobile phone chips, computer chips are more demanding on process technology.

The requirements are not that high. If we are new to this industry, we still need to start with the 10nm or 14nm process technology, and then adopt more advanced process technology after the technology matures."

"I don't think so. The requirements for process technology for computer chips are indeed not as high as those for mobile phone chips, but in fact the difference is not much. The existing top-level computer chips have basically reached 5-6nm process technology. If we still use backward

The process technology is definitely not comparable to Intel, AMD, Fruit and other companies in terms of chip performance. We are originally latecomers in the computer field, and the system and ecology are completely new. If the chip is still far behind them, it will not be possible at all.

There is no competitiveness.”

Hearing everyone's comments, Xu You smiled softly.
