From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 339 I Don't Believe——Fuck, I Believe It!

"Mr. Ren, what should we do now? The EDA software can't be used, and we don't know what to do now, unless we use pirated ones, but if we use pirated ones, the foundry will basically not produce them for us."

In the president's office of Hayes Semiconductor, the president Xu Jun is on the phone with their founder Ren Zhengfei.

The EDA software is no longer available. As the president, Xu Jun is definitely facing the most pressure. After all, he is the president who is in charge of so many people in the company, and now their entire company is almost in bankruptcy. Of course he feels Incomparably burnt out.

He even got news that more than half of the chip designers in his company have already received invitations from foreign companies, such as Apple, Intel and other companies, and he feels very powerless about this matter.

Ren Zhengfei, who was on the opposite side, already knew the situation, but he still kept calm and said directly: "Continue designing with pirated software first, and I will think about the problem later."

EDA software is software, so it can be pirated.

However, it is obviously impossible for EDA software manufacturers to sit back and watch their software be pirated, so the update frequency of EDA software will be very frequent. In addition to adding some new functions from time to time, the most important thing is to change various parameters, and then produce The manufacturer reached a cooperation with the chip foundry, so that the EDA software of the chip foundry will always be updated to the latest version, so those chip files designed with pirated software will naturally not be recognized by the foundry's software.

Unless the foundry also uses the same pirated software, however, if it does so, it is easy to be sued. In any case, once the fact of using pirated software is established, it will definitely lose the case in court.

Of course, in any case, using pirated software to design first to ensure the development process is also what they have to do under the current situation.

After Xu Jun heard Ren Zhengfei's instructions, he immediately responded, "Okay, I'll let them use the pirated software first."

"Well, don't be too anxious. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. It will always pass."

Ren Zhengfei smiled and comforted him.

"Thank you sir, I understand."

Xu Jun quickly responded, and also sighed in his heart, he really deserves to be Mr. Ren, even at this time he can maintain such calmness.

Then, after hanging up the phone, Xu Jun immediately told the news to their chip designers, and at the same time named Mr. Ren to reassure them for the time being. Next, they can only look forward to their Mr. Ren, a solution can be found.

At the same time, Ren Zhengfei, who was sitting in his office, also put down the phone, but there was no calm look on his face, but he was very distressed.

This matter is very difficult to solve.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

One is to open a company abroad, and these software can naturally be used abroad. However, if their companies really go abroad, then their wealth and life will be in their hands. It is what the other party wants to see.

And the second method is that they develop their own EDA software that can replace those top foreign manufacturers, and this is the right way, but it takes a lot of time, and maybe in the process, their first-class talents will be poached by others If they left, they could be said to be seriously injured.

Therefore, Ren Zhengfei felt very difficult.

But then, he remembered someone.

It was this person who called him suddenly and asked him if he was interested in reproducing the Kirin 9000, and then a miracle happened.

This person is Lin Xiao.

The old man's heart suddenly moved, and then he picked up the phone again and called Lin Xiao again.

Soon, the phone was connected.

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said, "Professor Lin, how are you doing?"

And Lin Xiao's voice came from the opposite side: "It's Mr. Ren, it's been pretty good recently."

"Hehe, that's good, that's good. By the way, our mate40S mobile phone meeting will start soon, and when our Kirin 9000s chip will be officially unveiled, I wonder if Professor Lin is interested in participating?"

"Oh? Then congratulations to you, but I won't go to the press conference, I just wait for your good news."

At this moment, Lin Xiao, who was sitting in Kong Huaan's office, had a smile on his face.

"Haha, that's fine." Ren Zhengfei responded with a smile, and the polite words at the beginning are over, and it's time to get to the point, "Speaking of which, Professor Lin should know about EDA software during this period of time, right?"

"Of course I know that." Lin Xiao said, "It seems that Mr. Ren and you have also encountered problems."

"Alas." Ren Zhengfei sighed, and said, "Of course the problem we have encountered is huge, but no matter what, we must find a way to solve this matter, so I'm here to find Professor Lin, and I want to hear Listen to Professor Lin if there is any way."

"Then you have found the right person." Lin Xiao immediately laughed.

Upon hearing this sentence, Ren Zhengfei was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Professor Lin has a solution?"

"In a few days, I will send you an EDA software, and then you can experience the functions."

"Okay! That's good!" Ren Zhengfei cheered up.

In fact, after making the call, he regretted it a little, because he suddenly felt that there was no need to bother Lin Xiao about such things.

Lin Xiao is not Doraemon, he can do whatever he wants.

However, the surprise came too fast like a tornado. I didn't hold out any hope, but I actually heard such good news from Lin Xiao.

"Well, that's it."

After Lin Xiao said something, he didn't say any more. After saying goodbye, he hung up the phone.

Then, he turned his gaze back to his eyes again.

In front of him is a computer, and he is currently writing a program.

At the same time, Kong Huaan was sitting next to him, writing a program on another computer.

And the programs they wrote are the differentiated functions they created.

Although Lin Xiao is not a programmer, the speed of writing programs is not slow at all. At the same time, the programs he writes are also very brilliant, and there is almost not much that can be optimized for that kind of optimization.

Even Kong Huaan who was next to him couldn't help being surprised.

Originally, Lin Xiao thought that mathematics should be handled by Lin Xiao, so he came to solve computer problems.

But the ability that Lin Xiao showed now made him feel invincible again.

Of course, he recovered quickly. Lin Xiao was indeed very strong, but he didn't need to lose confidence.

He once dreamed of being a hacker, but now he has become a top hacker, so his ideal has changed, that is to become another Turing.

If he loses this confidence now, then he doesn't need to talk about having any ideals.

So he withdrew his thoughts and continued to write the program.

In this way, time passed quickly.

Two days later.

……

Kong Huaan pressed the Enter key, and rows of data flashed on the screen in front of them, and there was a progress bar below.

As time slowly passed, the progress bar finally reached 100%, and then a comfortable green checkmark appeared, and then an interface popped up.

Looking at the data displayed on the page, the two people who had been serious all the time showed smiles on their faces.

The fake attack program passed all tests.

On the interface that pops up, the displayed data is exactly the optimization proposal and the problematic circuit.

At this moment, they can already call this function flawless!

"Beautiful!" Kong Huaan couldn't help admiring, such a wonderful program deserves his emotion.

Lin Xiao also nodded: "Next, we will continue to run deep learning on this smart program, and this function will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future!"

"Yes." Kong Huaan nodded.

Deep learning is to allow intelligence to have the ability to learn, and this function is very important for artificial intelligence, and their program, of course, also belongs to artificial intelligence, so through continuous learning, the ability to analyze integrated circuits in the future will only be will become stronger and stronger.

"Okay, that's it."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "It's time to save our domestic chip design industry."

Kong Huaan nodded, indeed, it is time to end the EDA software turmoil during this period.

"I'm going to contact Warwick and let them experience it first, so you can prepare for the launch of this software."

"Ah."

Kong Huaan nodded, "Okay."

Lin Xiao stopped talking and called Ren Zhengfei directly, "Mr. Ren, the software you want will be here soon. Be careful to check your mailbox. I've been waiting for a long time."

Ren Zhengfei was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Not long."

Afterwards, Lin Xiao sent the EDA software to Ren Zhengfei's mailbox, and Ren Zhengfei quickly passed the software to Xu Jun.

When Xu Jun received the news from Ren Zhengfei, he was still very puzzled.

Why did Ren Zhengfei send him an EDA software?

And it looks like it's domestic.

Even, I haven't even heard the name.

What Anwar EDA?

But since it was sent by Ren Zhengfei, he naturally opened this domestic EDA software with a tentative attitude.

The pure Chinese interface made him feel refreshed, which is very rare. These days, let alone foreign software, let alone their domestic EDA software, there are also many English interfaces, and the Chinese package needs to be downloaded separately.

Even, the software popped up a boot interface.

After looking around, he was surprised.

"These functions... there is something!"

Until the end, he saw another function, "Intelligent detection of fake attacks? What is this?"

With doubts, he finished reading the introduction about this function, and finally realized how powerful this function is.

"Are you kidding? Can this function also be implemented? Can use intelligence to quickly detect all circuits?"

Xu Jun felt very unbelievable.

He is an EDA software designer himself, of course he knows how abnormal this function is, once it can be realized, it will bring great help to their work!

"I do not believe."

If you don’t believe me, of course you have to choose to try.

But after trying it, he was stunned.

"Damn it, I believe it!"

This so-called false attack intelligent detection function actually works!

And not only can it be used, but its detection speed is very fast, and it is extremely accurate!
