Technological Empire Starts From Shanzhai System

Chapter 302 Artificial Intelligence Assisted Chip Design Technology

So although the EDA software released at this time has nothing to do with ordinary people, and ordinary people theoretically cannot use EDA software, it is reasonable for nearly 3,000 people to participate at this time.

"Damn Hantang technology."

At this time, in the VIP seat, Paul Olds and the presidents of the other three EDA software companies came to the scene.

Among them, Paul Olds didn't want to come, but because of the strong request of the three major EDA software presidents.

He had no choice but to accompany the presidents of the three major companies to attend the press conference.

At the same time, in the Silicon Valley of Medi Country, Bill Covercier was also following the live video of the press conference in real time.

In people's expectation, Lin Xuan said slowly:

"I'm very glad that everyone is here to participate in this EDA software conference. In this conference, we will release a product, which is EDA software!"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, people nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to the topic:

"As we all know, EDA software is a software that assists engineers in developing and designing circuits, including motherboard layout design, IC chip design, simulation and so on...

The EDA software we are going to release this time, in addition to inheriting the functions of other EDA software in the world.

We have also launched some innovative feature selling point functions. "

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Joseph, the president of Synopsys, the strongest of the three EDA software companies and occupying 32% of the EDA software market, changed his face.

At the same time, Paul Olds and Bill Coverciel also had a change in expression.

Because the EDA software that Hantang Technology will release this time not only completes the replacement problem, but also has new innovative functions?

"But let's not talk about the special selling points, let us first introduce the relevant functions of the EDA software and the actual demonstration screen..."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he began to introduce the relevant functions and practical operations of Hantang Technology EDA software to the audience.

Among them, the bosses of the three major EDA software companies looked at the functions displayed by Lin Xuan, and their faces became more and more ugly.

Because the EDA software of Hantang Technology is almost the same as them in terms of functions. Although the interface layout is slightly different, it has all the necessary functions.

It can be said that this is a mature EDA software!

"How on earth did this guy do it?"

Looking at the mature EDA software displayed by Hantang Technology, Joseph, the president of Synopsys, felt very unbelievable.

EDA software was developed in 10 days. Do they still talk about science in Hantang Technology?

“However, although EDA software has been developed, in the face of decades of experience and data we have accumulated, these data experiences are not something you can easily surpass.”

After finishing speaking, Joseph sneered, not optimistic about the EDA software of Hantang Technology at this time.

Because the simple software skin is easy to develop, but there are some things in the software that you can’t develop if you want to.

This thing is the experience and lessons accumulated over decades!

These lessons learned data are the core competitiveness of every EDA software company, or every chip factory!

The reason why the chip factory is involved is that there are no problems in the simulation verification of some things on the computer.

But after the actual production of tapes, people will find that there are various problems after the actual circuit is manufactured.

Among them, EDA software companies and chip factories usually conduct experience summarization, find out the key to the problem and draw lessons learned.

The EDA software will be updated next time, and this mistake will never be made again!

After countless updates, the EDA software is naturally becoming more and more powerful.

The final performance is that several tape-outs were originally required, but as EDA software becomes more and more powerful, maybe there is no problem with computer design simulation. In reality, only one or two tape-outs are needed to directly succeed!

This is the core competitiveness of post-empirical data for lessons learned, and it is also the core competitiveness of those EDA software!

Although Hantang Technology launched their EDA software this time, they must not have so much experience and lessons, so the software must be just a fake!

At this time, Paul Olds obviously understood this too. He turned his head to look at the other three presidents and said with a smile:

"Three rest assured, although Hantang Technology has developed EDA software, they do not have the most important core competitiveness of EDA software, that is, experience data after decades of chip production process failures.

There is no perfect industrial software in this world, only industrial software that is close to perfection after continuous improvement!

Although the EDA software developed by Lin Xuan is functionally equivalent to other EDA software.

But because there is not a lot of empirical data, this is just an empty shelf.

Waiting for their EDA software to accumulate huge experience, it will be several years or even more than 10 years later. "

Paul Olds' words were slightly nodded in agreement by several other presidents.

Then they looked at the people who were amazed at the scene and smiled disdainfully. Did these people think that the development of software was completed?

Without decades of accumulated experience and data, the Hantang EDA software is just an empty shelf.

However, when they showed disdainful expressions, Lin Xuan did not stop his words.

After he introduced the basic functions of EDA software, Lin Xuan slowly revealed his blade.

"The functions of the above EDA software have been demonstrated. Next, we will show the special selling points of the EDA software we developed."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Paul Odes' face changed suddenly.

He remembered at this time that Lin Xuan just seemed to have said that the EDA software developed by the technology has new special selling points!

Thinking of this, Paul Olds' complexion instantly turned ugly.

Although he thinks that the EDA software of Hantang Technology is just a joke because there is no empirical data.

But if the EDA software of Hantang Technology has special features that people cannot refuse, many software companies can't put it down, and then use the EDA software of Hantang Technology in large quantities.

At that time, EDA software will be used by a large number of customers, and then accumulate huge experience data!

In that case, it may only take a year, two years or a few years, and they can complete the accumulation of other companies for decades. After all, isn’t experience data just created by the liver?

If a large number of companies use the EDA software of Nahantang Technology, Nahantang Technology can also complete the journey of other companies in a short time.

Thinking of this, Paul Olds looked very ugly, but no matter what, Lin Xuan on the stage slowly introduced the first special function.

"Next, we will introduce the first feature of our Hantang EDA software, which is the artificial intelligence-assisted chip design (AIforEDA) technology!"

While Lin Xuan was speaking, a row of pictures of the overall arrangement of cabinets appeared on the projection screen behind him.

When this picture appeared, some people looked confused, but more people let out a cry of surprise.

"That's Tianhe supercomputer!"

Li Zheng in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

"As you can see, we have introduced the Tianhe supercomputer, the world's strongest supercomputer, into the EDA software!

This supercomputer has several main purposes, one of which is to run the AIforEDA technology I just mentioned! "

"Bringing Artificial Intelligence to Chip Design!"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Paul Odes's face darkened instantly.

The concept of introducing artificial intelligence into chip design has always existed, and even the three major EDA software companies have carried out corresponding research and development and achieved certain results.

But because it requires a relatively large investment to achieve it, and artificial intelligence algorithms are indeed a problem, a large number of top mathematicians are required to study artificial intelligence algorithms.

So although there are already test samples for this technology, the effect in actual application is very low, which can be called artificial mental retardation, and it is actually not as good as artificial design.

So in the field of introducing artificial intelligence into chip design assistance, the world is in a relatively backward situation.

No company can produce real artificial intelligence-assisted chip design software, and this technology is currently unavailable.

"Everyone must be curious, what is the effect of the artificial intelligence auxiliary chip we launched? No matter how much you say, it is better to actually look at it.

The next practical exercise is the layout of a macro module. As for what a macro module is, you can understand it as the abbreviation of a computing unit, power supply unit and other units in the processor.

The purpose of our use of artificial intelligence assistance is to make the layout of macro modules more reasonable, less difficult to start, better performance, lower power consumption, better heat dissipation performance and smaller area through countless simulations ! "

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he lightly clicked the remote control in his hand, and then the projection screen behind him changed instantly, and it was a circuit video that was constantly changing.

At this time, people can see that there are many parties in the video that are changing rapidly and non-stop, but there are some regularities in the transformation.

"Ding!"

The accelerated video suddenly made a "ding" sound at 13 minutes and 41 seconds, and then the image below stopped changing, and the video screen stayed on a unit layout.

When people showed puzzled and curious eyes, Lin Xuan said slowly:

"The chip above is the first single-chip microcomputer chip launched by Hantang Technology. As you can see, the single-chip microcomputer does not change the instruction set and other things.

We have carried out the calculation of the layout of macro modules through the artificial intelligence-assisted chip design technology of Tianhe supercomputer, so that the area, heat dissipation and performance of our chip can be optimized.

I believe everyone will be curious about which one is stronger between the results obtained by the supercomputer and the Hantang single-chip microcomputer we launched before?

We have conducted an actual tape-out test for this! "

As Lin Xuan finished speaking, a software test video appeared under the projection screen behind him.

At this time, there are two computers on the projection screen.
