The development direction of today's mainstream chip design software is nothing more than the optimization of algorithms and architecture, but this exhibit unlocked in the museum takes a brand new route.
Improve the autonomy of EDA software with the help of deep learning and other algorithms.
Increase integrated circuit design efficiency.
Shorten the chip development cycle.
This ensures extremely fast speeds in terms of rapid data extraction of models, hot spot detection in layout, and circuit simulation timing verification.
Application of cloud technology.
It also has the effect of accelerating project completion and improving the security of the verification solution.
It can be said that the overall performance of this chip design software that has been imprinted on Xu Lei's mind has already surpassed that of the overseas products of the three major companies of Xinsi Kaiden, Siemens, and its status is no less than that of the Magic Star engine in the engine licensing market.
Performance.
To be specific.
Using this EDA software to design high-end chips, various costs will be greatly reduced.
besides.
The software also contains some proven and mature modular designs.
Can be authorized directly for use on the chip.
Effectively avoid the huge sunk costs that chip design companies need to face when designing chips.
You must know that the mature modular licensing fees that mainstream domestic chip design companies need to pay to the three overseas EDA giant companies every year are a very high number.
After determining the details of the software, Xu Lei only had one thing left.
That's how to develop it.
Compared with smart game engines, chip design software is also a very large project, and it cannot be done by itself.
Even if Xingtong, a smart assistant, provides support, I'm afraid it will still require a long development cycle.
Xu Lei could not accept this situation.
After all, if it takes several years to finally come up with this chip design software, maybe overseas companies also have artificial intelligence and cloud technology.
"It seems that to ensure the development efficiency of chip design software, two conditions need to be met first." At this time, Xu Lei studied the relevant information and knowledge in his mind and quickly found a solution.
The so-called two conditions are data center and industry talent.
The computing power of the computer room built with future technology will inevitably impose restrictions on Xingtong.
It's like putting a weight on a long-distance runner, preventing him from exerting his full strength. Building a data center can solve this problem.
When Xingtong has greater hardware support, it can be more efficient in assisting development.
Anyway, the current sales revenue of Magic Star Engine and the profits brought by Wushen Realm are enough to build a high-level data center in Binjiang City.
But the condition of industry talent is more difficult.
At present, there are only a few thousand people in the domestic EDA industry, and it is obviously not feasible to build a development team through recruitment alone.
The most suitable thing is to find relevant companies to cooperate with.
Thinking of this, a name suddenly emerged in Xu Lei's mind, and then he smiled and murmured: "I still need to go to Shenzhen City first!"
…
"Mr. Xu, the car has been arranged."
The next day.
In the morning, Xu Lei was sitting in the villa restaurant eating breakfast cooked by his aunt, when he saw a strong and burly man walking over, and his tone of voice showed respect.
"Um."
Xu Lei was calm and composed about this, and after nodding in agreement, he didn't forget to ask: "Have you eaten? Why don't we sit down and eat some together."
"I've already eaten Mr. Xu." The other party shook his head and said.
Speaking of this man, Xu Lei has to mention his assistant Chen Shihe.
Because Chen Shihe considered his identity change and other issues, although Longfor Summer Palace was only a short distance away from the company, he still specially ordered a Hongqi car with strong safety performance and recruited a person with excellent professional qualities through headhunting.
bodyguard and driver.
This is also done to reduce unnecessary trouble. After all, as the president of Future Technology, it is not appropriate for Xu Lei to show up casually as before.
Through this period of getting along, Xu Lei discovered that his bodyguard Cheng Fei had an unusual identity when he was in the army.
Although I don’t know why I chose to retire from the army, it is because of my congenial personality, loyalty and reliability.
Xu Lei seemed to regard him as one of his own.
Not long after.
When Xu Lei finished breakfast, he took a car to the company under the escort of Cheng Fei.
Perhaps because the team has just been established, the atmosphere in the company is warmer and more exciting than before. Overall, it can be described in four words.
Full of vitality.
And this is what Xu Lei likes.
After stepping out of the elevator and entering the company, the employees who walked in front of me greeted me with smiles.
Xu Lei nodded frequently in response. It was not until Chen Shihe's figure came into view that he asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Mr. Xu."
"The heads of each department have arrived at the conference room on time and are waiting for you now."
"Well, let's go there."
After hearing Chen Shihe's answer, Xu Lei stopped wasting time and walked to the company's conference room as soon as he finished speaking.
It is worth mentioning that under normal circumstances Xu Lei will go to his office first when arriving at the company, but after setting Monday as the company's regular meeting time, the heads of each department must attend to report on their own situations, so Xu Lei must also
turn up.
——
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
Chen Shihe took the initiative to open the door of the conference room for Xu Lei. Everyone inside saw Xu Lei coming in and immediately stood up to say hello.
But unlike in other companies, they are dealing with things from the bottom of their hearts.
In addition to having a strong sense of belonging to future technology, I also admire Xu Lei's strong technical level and attitude towards employees. Being able to work in such a company will definitely live up to my youthful life.
"Everyone, please sit down quickly. Although it is a routine meeting, there is no need to be too formal."
Xu Lei smiled warmly when he heard the sound. As he walked towards his seat, he waved to everyone in the conference room and motioned for them to sit down.
After everyone was seated, Xu Lei took the detailed report document from Chen Shihe, then raised his eyes and looked around the conference room and asked in a deep voice: "Who comes first?"
If we want to talk about who among the management has the highest reputation, then Lu Hongbo must be ranked first.
After all, just that shiny strong man's hairstyle makes everyone else feel inferior to him.
Fortunately, Lu Hongbo did not disappoint everyone. Dang even took the call and reported: "Mr. Xu, the number of users of the Fantasy Star Engine is close to 600,000, and the number of paid units is 100,000. It basically occupies the entire domestic engine licensing market, and overseas.
Several game, animation, and film companies have already expressed their intention to cooperate with us.”
With solid data as support, Lu Hongbo was confident when he spoke, and he did not hide the excitement on his face.
Even though Xu Lei had been prepared for it, his heart was filled with joy when he heard this number.
