Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 192 In EDA software development, the idea of ​​virtual helmet
"Professor Wang Zhihong did not exaggerate. Hong Jun is indeed very talented in the field of EDA design."

Chen Heyu sat in front of the computer, flipping through the development documents drafted by the other party.

Logical and clear!
The document is subdivided into four modules: product description, system architecture, module design, and test strategy, which can help researchers better understand the overall structure and development process of the project, and guide engineers to convert requirements into executable code.

Excellent EDA design software needs to have a variety of core functions, including but not limited to:

● Circuit design and layout
●Simulation and analysis tools
●Modular design
●Component library and schematic symbol library
●Automatic routing and routing optimization
●Design rule checking and EMC testing

Chen Heyu quickly read the information, then added, deleted, and supplemented the document, and listed the development plan.

He plans to divide the EDA software development work of designing mobile phone chips into 7 subsystems, which will be carried out separately to improve efficiency.

The whole morning was spent on revising the document, and it was not until the noon break that he finalized all the details and procedures.

"Hong Jun, come here."

Chen Heyu raised his head, and shouted at Hong Jun not far away.

"Boss, come on, what do you want from me? Are you shocked after seeing this genius' design plan?"

Hong Jun said with a smile, with a confident expression on his face.

"Who gave you the courage?"

Chen Heyu gave him a contemptuous look, curled his lips and said.

"It's not me bragging, just the people in the laboratory, given them a month, they can't find a single omission."

Hong Jun sat down and boasted.

"Don't worry, I'll help you revise a version, divide the development plan into 7 subsystems, and you are responsible for the underlying code of the user interface."

Chen Heyu waved his hand, interrupting the other party's boasting.

"Forehead……"

Hong Jun was dumbfounded.

He planned to go back and study the boss's development documents carefully, but he didn't believe that there was no problem at all.

Chen Heyu is a genius programmer, he admits this, but he doesn't believe that the other party also has a strong talent in the field of EDA.

He has basically heard of all the excellent electronic design automation talents in China, and his boss is not among them.

"Group B is responsible for library management, Group C is responsible for design rule checking and electromagnetic compatibility testing, and Group D is responsible for simulation analysis of subsystems..."

Chen Heyu said to himself, seeing Hong Jun in a daze, couldn't help frowning, and knocked on the table.

"Repeat what I said just now."

"what!?"

Hong Jun blushed, a little embarrassed, and scratched his head.

"Forget it, it's all in the document, go back and read it slowly.

You are in charge of group A, remember, you are Professor Wang's student, don't lose face to Mr. Wang. "

Chen Heyu said seriously.

"No problem, I guarantee there will be no bugs!"

Hong Jun patted his chest and said.

"BUG is something that can be corrected when it appears. How can it be 100% perfect?"

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

From development, testing to launch, a software does not exist without bugs. He doesn't care about the process, as long as the final result can satisfy him.

After explaining his work, he left the office.

Go straight to the cafeteria.

"Boss, do you want to have lunch together?"

I ran into Professor Strong by chance on the road, and the other party warmly invited me.

"Professor Strong, are you still used to life in Yancheng? Have you encountered any problems that require the company to come forward, and you can contact Mr. Zhang at any time."

Chen Heyu said softly.

For this top expert in the brain field, Future Technology has always been very courteous, caring to help him with accommodation, meals, travel, and also arranged a local communication assistant to help him familiarize himself with the working environment in Huaguo as soon as possible.

"Boss, thank you for your care. Before I came, it was hard to imagine that Huaguo still had a technology company with strong technology. I heard that you are developing EDA software. I wish you success."

Strong said cheerfully.

"Thank you, I hope that teaching you the brain-computer interface technology can achieve breakthroughs and help those with physical disabilities and nerve damage recover to health as soon as possible."

Chen Heyu replied with a smile.

The two walked slowly along the cobblestone path of Jingwei Garden, chatting while walking. The distance was less than 200 meters, and they walked for about ten minutes.

"With your support, I believe there will be a day in the near future when humans can manipulate artificial limbs, wheelchairs, televisions and other equipment through brain-computer interfaces to achieve real human-computer interaction."

This is his dream, said Strong.

He is a beautiful old man from a small country, and he came to Huaguo from a long distance. On the one hand, Chen Heyu recognized the technicians, and on the other hand, he was willing to spend money on Future Technology.

The electrophysiological signal recorder, brain-computer interface control software, functional magnetic resonance imaging and other equipment are all of the highest quality. After Strong joined, the investment in research and development equipment alone exceeded [-] million US dollars.

Previously, he was in the beautiful country, but he could not enjoy this kind of treatment.

Although there is a certain gap between Huaguo and Beautiful Country in terms of theoretical knowledge and infrastructure, Strong is confident that as long as Chen Heyu is willing to continue to invest, his research results will definitely have application scenarios.

"Boss, the manufacturing of biochips is too difficult, and it is not difficult to conduct clinical experiments.

However, there is still hope for the head-mounted brain-computer interface device to allow you to see the finished product within a year. "

Strong said.

"Oh? Does the professor have any direction?"

Chen Heyu became interested, stopped and asked.

"The core part of the head-mounted brain-computer interface is the sensor. This device can measure the activity of the cerebral cortex. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two types, one is electroencephalogram (EEG) and the other is magnetoencephalogram (MEG). ).

EEG sensors, using silver or silver chloride electrodes, provide reliable signal capture.

The MEG sensor is a superconducting quantum interferometer that can measure the magnetic field more accurately, but it is much more expensive than the EEG sensor, and requires excellent isolation conditions during operation, and the use conditions are relatively harsh.

What you said before is that you want to slowly enter the medical industry from the gaming field. I agree with this view and suggest using EEG sensors to reduce costs and reduce promotion resistance. "

Strong said slowly.

As an expert in the field of brain-computer interface, he is also familiar with hardware equipment, and he can actually give Chen Heyu professional advice from a business perspective.

"I accept your plan. The progress of research and development is synchronized at any time. If there are difficulties, Mr. Zhang can't solve them. You can contact me directly."

Chen Heyu exhorted.

Of course, he is unwilling to give up cutting-edge technology. In addition to Professor Strong's team, in the past six months, he has recruited dozens of outstanding talents in the field of brain-computer interface through headhunting channels and Future Technology Overseas Business Department.

Most of them are experts in the fields of brain signal acquisition, signal processing and analysis, human-computer interaction and sensors.

It can be said that although future technology makes money, the R&D investment is not low. Zhang Nan synchronized the corresponding data at the weekly meeting.

The annual labor expenses and research and development expenses of the two groups of experimenters of Moss AI, the brain-computer interface laboratory, and the chip design laboratory actually accounted for 25% of the company's net profit.

And, this number will continue to expand.

Chen Heyu smiled and walked into the cafeteria with him.

He is very clear about the meaning of Strong's words.

The other party wants to use sensors to collect brain signals, and then use data processing software to analyze brain signals, translate them into instructions and control signals that computers can understand, and then control or interact with external devices.

If combined with Ai and AR technology, he can create a game helmet in a sci-fi movie, or even a holographic game cabin, which can definitely subvert the current game industry.

After having dinner with Professor Strong, he returned to the office and took a nap.

Wake up in the afternoon and continue to write the main program framework, which includes the main function, class definition and function declaration, etc.

Members of other groups, having received corresponding development tasks, are building the basic code of the software in an orderly manner.

Chen Heyu was responsible for building the core skeleton, and others added details to improve this huge project little by little.

In the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean, the three multinational companies Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor Graphics do not know that there is a company in the East that is reaching out to their territory and wants to compete!
