Northwest of Zhennan City.

After this holiday, all companies in Menggu delivered various regular reports to their parent companies at all levels.

Zhennan Xindong and Lizhi Technology are some of the most bizarre subsidiaries, and the two companies jointly made a report. This is probably because they were originally a team of the same company, and now they are still mixed together when working hours. Although the directions of the work are very different, more people and more ideas can save a lot of rent, so why not do it?

Zhang Han and Lu Wei, the two are the leaders of the two companies. They are also college classmates. After graduation, they worked as researchers in the school’s research institute for several years. Their work is mainly related to integrated circuits.

Zhang Han searched his forehead and found that various drawings and discarded test boards were piled up on the workbench.

"Old Lu, you said that I am a FPGA mining machine, whether it is a right or wrong way. After I start, I feel so old that I am thinking about various cost issues. I will not be at ease when I make a plan."

Although Lu Wei has already been a manager of Lizhi Technology, he is not easy to deal with when his classmates ask questions.

He said, "Actually, when you go to see all the great masters in this community, your basic ideas are similar. What you lack is a suitable board, and you can spend some time doing the development around the board."

After Lu Wei finished speaking, he didn't stop, "But I'll just say whatever he should do. Whoever comes out of this kind of machine will make a fortune secretly. He will dig it for a while and then take it to the market to sell it."

After hearing this, Zhang Han nodded repeatedly, "Well, I want to be confident now. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

Lu Wei smiled and said, "But let me down my big brother. But I'll say that this thing is something that people in a small range must take action and do not have to worry about selling it. But we can also see that just this sha256 algorithm really needs to make an asic integrated circuit chip, it's still very likely to be asked. And it will take only one or two years."

Zhang Han pondered for a moment. When Meng Guyun came to acquire it last time, he really regarded the idea of ​​this mining machine as the last straw. Lu Wei, an old classmate, was real. The boss gave him the opportunity to do a more awesome job, so he directly agreed to split up.

I just think that different people choose differently. Anyway, the starting points of the two companies are similar. For Lizhi Technology, in a short period of time, it should have chosen to buy Asic research directly. FPGA? Lu Wei has no intention of touching it for the time being. There is no way, the company is poor, and it is not easy for people who make chips to help, so they can only make do with it first.

Zhang Han asked, "How is your artificial intelligence integrated circuit clear?"

Lu Wei smiled awkwardly, "Ha, 1%? It seems that there can't be more."

He then said, "This is incomparable to Bitcoin. From the beginning of design, we have to adapt to the various upper-level things provided by the Seven Stars. As expected, there is still a whole series of tool chains to be implemented."

Zhang Han patted Lu Wei on the shoulder, "I think this is the case. Objectively speaking, the hardware required by Mengguyun is not something that can create worlds. In the past, there were general-purpose CPUs, and the AI ​​acceleration chips could do more specifically, but they were simpler than the CPU structure. As you said, the difficulty lies in other places.

We might as well consider this. The Ai on lychee can also start with FPGA, and then use various functions to make a mask version based on the circuit board. It is equivalent to directly using FPGA for verification, confirming that the path is easy to go, and then using Asic to do it for large-scale production."

When Lu Wei heard this, he nodded repeatedly, "Well! This sounds OK, the initial cost is not high, and time can be saved a lot."

Zhang Hanze said, "But this is really the experimental stage. The money of the two companies is actually not enough. If the product is really released and verified, I am afraid I still have to find money."

Lu Weize said, "Let's see lychee. According to Meng Guyun's needs, it is certain to inject capital into product conversion."

Zhang Han didn't say anything after hearing this, and when Lu Wei saw it, Zhang Han obviously had some other thoughts. Lu Wei also knew the temperament of his old classmate, so he didn't say much. After all, this book is not good at it. If you really want to talk about things sometimes, it's really a talk with the chicken. Seeing that Qixing also found some colleges to cooperate with chip research projects, it was obvious that the other party did not really put the treasure on the two companies.

Seeing that the topic suddenly stopped as he was talking, Lu Wei found a topic and started again.

"Lao Zhang, I have been to Seven Stars a lot recently. I saw some interesting things."

Zhang Han put down the development board in his hand again, "Oh? You said, I'll listen."

Lu Wei said, "It's so simple. What Lizhi does is called AI chip, you know this."

Zhang Han nodded and replied, "Well, custom hardware used to specialize in machine learning and deep learning algorithm acceleration."

Lu Wei said, "Do you know what one of their most important research is in this area?"

Zhang Han shook his head directly. This kind of silence is not a waste of time.

Lu Wei smiled and said, "A robotic Go project is called Beta Dog. At present, Seven Star Laboratory still uses Nvidia's GPU to do various training. However, it is obvious that the other party has been fed up with the hardware restrictions. In this case, there is one of the things that lychee needs to support."

Zhang Han smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "Ha?! Then these people are really rich and have no place to use them. I'm afraid they will challenge Guli players in the future? That's really boring."

Lu Wei said, "What's going on, we can't see this. In fact, this is just statistics and decision-making. There was no ibm's Deep Blue who defeated the top chess player. I'm afraid most people know about this.

Look, the things that Menggu planned are really not small. I don’t know about Go, but I think it should be more difficult, so I was put into the research project."

After hearing this, Zhang Han was still lacking in interest, "Then you, Mr. Lu, are really impressed. To be honest, at present, I don't think this is worth investing in such a big investment at all."

Lu Wei shook his head and then patted Zhang Han on the shoulder, "I'm afraid you don't understand the situation of the parent company."

This old classmate should be in Cao's camp and in the Han state, Lu Wei wanted to.

Zhang Han said, "We won't say much nonsense, we can do it based on our ability. I can understand this goal very clearly. I just want to make this machine to make a fuss. I have been working in the chip industry for many years, but my children are not young, and my parents are also sick. I just want to make money, but that's it anyway."

After hearing this, Lu Wei smiled directly, Zhang Han was still real.

"Okay. Can you cooperate better? Don't just say a few words and make a lot of money. Life is better with positive energy."
