Chapter 115 Lingsi Artificial Intelligence Chip

Future Technology is Warwick's partner, and Xu Lei still owns half of the shares of Loongson Group. It was just before the launch of Warwick's new flagship machine, how could he say no at all.

This is not.

Needless to say, Xu Lei, Ren Yuanwei presented thousands of new mobile phones as gifts.

Faced with such a gift, Xu Lei did not refuse. He sent someone to pick it up and planned to distribute it as employee benefits.

Anyway, when the large-scale data center in the Longfor High-tech Park is completed, he will also build a new intelligent data center to improve the computing power of artificial intelligence. At that time, it will definitely be necessary to purchase hardware equipment from Huawei.

Friday, November 2020, 7.

Xinyue City.

"Have you sorted out the new mobile phones sent by Huawei?"

In the office of the president of the future technology company, Xu Lei was arranging his clothes and walking outside, while asking Chen Shihe about something.

Regarding this, Chen Shihe took a faster pace, and replied beside Xu Lei: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, the quantity has been counted and let Cheng Fei take it to the car in advance."

"Ah That's good."

Hearing Chen Shihe's answer, Xu Lei nodded slightly in satisfaction, and immediately accelerated his pace.

Xu Lei asked Chen Shihe to distribute the mobile phones that Ren Yuanwei gave them on the same day. It can be said that their employees were the first to use mobile phones with the Tamron 980 chip.

However, since there are still many people engaged in chip design in the data center, even Liang Fuxing will only come here during the weekly regular meeting, so Xu Lei plans to go there in person, and by the way, these employee benefits take.

In addition to condolences to the employees, there is another matter that Xu Lei is more concerned about. During this time, he has been paying attention to the progress.

Because Cheng Fei had already prepared the vehicle, there was no delay. Xu Lei took Chen Shihe downstairs and got into the car directly.

It is worth mentioning that.

Now the company's security personnel have expanded to hundreds of people, all of whom are carefully selected by Cheng Fei.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is one in a million.

Everyone has a number of professional skills and can independently respond to emergencies.

Since the Longfor High-tech Park has not yet been officially put into use, Xu Lei deliberately rented a larger venue in other places in Binjiang City for the convenience of their daily training.

Normally, only a dozen or so people take turns following Xu Lei to protect his safety.

However, just these dozen or so people gave Xu Lei a sense of security, at least he would never worry about his personal safety when traveling in the country.

With a few cars starting off, driving on the roads of Binjiang City, although it will attract some attention to some extent, it may be because the special armored car of the commercial vehicle is not as eye-catching as a sports car, so Xu Lei will not take it to heart.

After all, in Binjiang City's own territory, even if his identity is recognized by others, there is nothing to worry about.

After a while.

New District of Binjiang City.

As the vehicle stopped in front of the data building, Liang Fuxing, who had been waiting downstairs, hurried up to open the door for Xu Lei, and greeted Xu Lei immediately.

"Mr. Xu, you are here. Everyone is waiting for you up there."

"There is a new mobile phone presented by Huawei in the car. Let someone take it and distribute it to everyone." Xu Lei came out of the car and first mentioned the mobile phone after seeing Liang Fuxing.

As a former Huawei employee, Liang Fuxing is still more concerned about the new mobile phone.

Especially knowing that it is still equipped with the latest Tamron 980 chip, it is difficult to get it in advance even if it is related outside.

Seeing Xu Lei take out so much at once, I was a little surprised, and this just happened to prove the importance Huawei attaches to future technology.

"Alright Mr. Xu."

Ever since the addition of future technology, Liang Fuxing has been familiar with any kind of employee benefits, so he quickly responded with this sentence and asked the subordinates beside him to take charge of this matter.

As for him, he led Xu Lei and Chen Shihe upstairs.

……

As Liang Fuxing said, when Xu Lei came to the meeting room upstairs, he found that dozens of developers were already here. Besides many new faces, there were also many familiar faces.

Such as Sun Haifeng Liu Zhi and so on.

Before Yinglong EDA was on the right track and gradually gained a firm foothold in the industry, Xu Lei came here only a handful of times.

Only Liang Fuxing was familiar with it when he often reported to the headquarters.

Xu Lei didn't even intervene too much in recruiting chip designers.

Fortunately, the headquarters building will be put into use soon, and they will all be able to move there to work at that time, leaving only the relevant personnel who maintain the data center equipment.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Everyone, sit down quickly. Although I have come here less often during this period, I don't need to be too cautious."

Seeing everyone greeting each other, Xu Lei quickly asked everyone to sit down, deliberately showing a friendly look.

The group of old people who came from Warwick knew Xu Lei's character very well, so they were naturally very relaxed at this time, so they immediately sat down in response.

On the other hand, some newcomers, even after hearing what Xu Lei said, were still nervous and did not dare to look up, their hearts were beating fast in their chests.

Of course they were not afraid of Xu Lei.

It's the normal behavior when meeting idols.

For people in their line of work, since they choose to join Future Technology, they must have a very clear understanding of Xu Lei's deeds. Faced with this kind of real genius who can take everything from software and hardware, under normal circumstances, admiration and admiration will be born in their hearts. Feelings.

It's normal to not be as poised as other old people are.

Xu Lei saw that what he said didn't seem to have much effect, so he didn't say anything more, thinking that after the relocation of the headquarters was completed, he would go to the design department more.

After everyone was seated, Liang Fuxing didn't waste any more time. After turning on the projection in the conference room to call out the content he wanted, he immediately reported: "Mr. Xu, our artificial intelligence chip is currently in the final stage. I believe Lingsi will enter the tape-out production process soon."

That's right.

This time when Xu Lei came here, in addition to giving benefits, the most important thing is to understand the situation of artificial intelligence chip design.

At the beginning, due to the technical limitations of the domestic chip manufacturing industry, the performance of the hardware equipment obtained from Warwick was limited. Although it is a data center with [-] servers, it can only exert the ability of primary authority.

In the final analysis, the computing power that the data center can provide is limited.

However, as the Longfor High-tech Park is put into use, a large number of world-class scientific research talents will join in the future, and they will also use the ability of Xingtong to speed up the research and development of various technologies.

At that time, it will not be enough to rely on this data center alone.

For this reason, Xu Lei proposed to design a top-level artificial intelligence chip with a specification of 1 nanometer, so that when it is used in the data center in the future, the computing power of Xingtong is bound to undergo earth-shaking changes.

If it is said that the computing power that Xingtong can control is a river, then after using this chip, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a vast ocean.

It is important to know that the increase in computing power means that when calculating a certain problem, it can be solved at a faster speed.

Lingsi is the name Xu Lei gave this chip.

"Go on."

Seeing that Liang Fuxing paused for a while, Xu Lei immediately responded in a deep voice, signaling Liang Fuxing to continue.

Xu Lei did not personally participate in the design of this chip, but simply put forward some requirements.

Mainly now with the high-efficiency chip design software like Yinglong EDA, coupled with the assistance of Xingtong, he believes that the professional ability of Liang Fuxing and others will definitely not let him down.

Besides, quite a while has passed since the announcement of the Lingsi project. Since Liang Fuxing has the confidence to make a report, it shows that he is quite confident.

"This Lingsi artificial intelligence chip, we adopt a human brain-like architecture."

"The chip functions like the brain's synapses, its processors like neurons, and its communication system like nerve fibers."

"Through this network of neurons, the computer can perceive memory and process a large number of different situations."

"According to the data we have analyzed and demonstrated, the transistors possessed by Lingsi's 1-nanometer chip are enough to increase Xingtong's computing power several times or even dozens of times."

Liang Fuxing's words of renewed confidence reached his ears, and Xu Lei immediately fell into deep thought. Although the final effect of the chip still needs actual testing, since Xingtong was involved in the design process of Lingsi, the function must be suitable for Xingtong. Hitomi's.

Thinking about the key to this, Xu Lei believes that it is necessary to carry out tape-out production testing of Lingsi as soon as possible.

So he immediately opened his mouth and said to Liang Fuxing: "Hurry up and complete all the designs of Lingsi and take out the physical layout. I will tell Godson Group to give priority to the production of our chips."

"This will be the world's first 1nm chip."

"It's Mr. Xu." Hearing the sound, Liang Fuxing immediately assured him firmly.

Future Technology has developed domestic chip design software, and now it is using this design software to design the world's most advanced chip. The process alone makes people excited just thinking about it.

And those newcomers sitting on the chairs clenched their fists even more at this time, anticipating in their hearts how much sensation the launch of the Lingsi artificial intelligence chip will cause in the field of artificial intelligence.

Then when Liang Fuxing's report was over, the Huawei's new mobile phone brought by Xu Lei was brought up and distributed as employee benefits.

As for the next time, Xu Lei didn't stay in the data center for long. After explaining some things to Liang Fuxing in detail, he drove back to Longhu Summer Palace directly.

Time always flies by inadvertently.

In August, when the physical layout of the Lingsi artificial intelligence chip was submitted to the Loongson Group to start tape-out production, the headquarters building in the Longfor High-Tech Park was finally completely completed.

After Lin Haishan officially completed his task and handed over this special headquarters building to Xu Lei, Xu Lei also made a decision to choose a time to complete the relocation of the company's headquarters.
