Chapter 492: Development of artificial intelligence chip completed

From an economical point of view, the mid-range Ruida MPV and Ruida SUV are obviously the best choices. The sales of the several models have opened up a clear gap, so that the factory director Shao Heping is thinking about developing Ruida sedans and Ruida SUVs equipped with automatic driving functions.

The clinical trial of DDAT material is progressing rapidly and has reached the third phase. More than 90 volunteers have received surgical treatment. According to the clinical data collected so far, DDAT is a material for repairing nerve damage, and its efficacy is very significant and its safety is high enough. More than 1% of the patients who participated in the experiment achieved good treatment results, and less than % had rejection reactions. It is only a matter of time for such an excellent medical material to pass the certification of relevant institutions and obtain sales licenses. Ruida Pharmaceutical Company is actively building factories and preparing for the listing and sale of DDAT.

At the same time, another feature of DDAT material is also being developed. That is, after DDAT material connects to nerves, the other end is connected to a special circuit, which can convert nerve signals into electrical signals. Moreover, this conversion is not one-way, but two-way. This device can also convert modulated electrical signals into nerve signals and transmit them back to the brain. Seeing this magical feature of DDAT material, does it remind you of something? Yes, through this device, a communication mechanism can be established between the brain and the computer to realize the legendary brain-computer interface function. This is much more reliable than using patches to collect brain waves or implanting electrodes in the brain. The only trouble encountered by this device is the problem of decoding nerve signals. The human body is so perfect and so precise that the encoding mechanism of nerve signals is very complicated, and it is difficult to crack the information carried in it. Even if Qiao Ruida found the information on the Internet twenty years later, there was only a partial decoding table, and a large amount of nerve information was in an unbreakable state.

Ruida Research Institute has set up a special research team to use gorillas as research subjects, implant DDAT materials, collect neural signals, and perform decoding analysis, in order to crack the secrets of neural coding through massive data collection.

On this day, Qiao Ruida was conducting a simulation of an artificial intelligence chip when he received a call from Shao Heping.

"Mr. Qiao, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is about to start. Fei Yushu and his racing team will fly to France tomorrow. I heard that you are also very interested in this race. Do you want to follow the team and go to France to have fun?"

"The Le Mans Endurance Race is about to start. Time flies so fast. Should our team fly there by plane or charter a plane?"

"Of course we chartered a plane to get there. There are more than a hundred people including drivers, mechanics, and the logistics support team. Chartering an Airbus A320 is just the right amount for us."

"What about the racing cars, equipment, spare parts, etc.? How are they going to be transported over there?"

"The racing cars were transported by air, and other items, including support vehicles, were shipped by sea. Those items were shipped a month ago and I estimate they will arrive in France in the next two days. Our team will fly over and receive them."

"Okay, leave two seats for me on the plane. Anyway, the company is not busy recently, so it's a good opportunity to take Qingqing to France for some fun. By the way, which airport does the team plan to board the plane?"

"We were originally planning to go to Tianjin Airport. Since you, Mr. Qiao, are planning to go to France together, let's choose Beijing International Airport."

Decheng City belongs to Beihe Province, but it is very far from the provincial capital, International Village, but very close to the two municipalities of Tianjin and Beijing. This has caused people in Decheng City to choose Tianjin Airport or Beijing Airport when they want to catch a flight.

"That's great. It saves me from running around. What time do I board the flight tomorrow and which terminal will it be in?"

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, at Terminal B2."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruida put away his phone and saw the simulation results on the EDA software. It passed perfectly with a pass rate of 99.8%. The software only detected two insignificant design errors, which basically did not affect the normal operation of the chip. Qiao Ruida still found the two errors and corrected them. Then he packaged and encrypted the design drawings of the artificial intelligence chip and sent them to the director of Rockchip Wafer Factory, asking them to take them to the graphene chip production line for tape-out testing. At the same time, Qiao Ruida also copied a design drawing and handed it to the dimensional puppet in the dimensional space. Qiao Ruida also installed a set of the same graphene chip production line in the dimensional space. Under the operation of the dimensional puppet, a robot that basically does not make mistakes, the chip pass rate is even higher than that of similar production lines in Rockchip Wafer Factory.

After doing all this, Qiao Ruida left the laboratory and went to the office of the Ruida Charity Foundation next door, picked up Du Qingqing, and drove back to the courtyard together.

"Wife, do you want to go to France?"

"What to do in France, travel or shopping?" In Du Qingqing's opinion, France is a tourist destination. She wants to see the famous Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Seine River. France is also a shopping paradise. Many world-renowned luxury brands have their headquarters in France.

"Neither. Let's go to France to watch a car race. Ruida Motors has organized a professional racing team to participate in this year's Le Mans car endurance race. We can follow the team and go to Le Mans to watch the race together."

"Le Mans is actually in France. This is the first time I know this. When will the race be held? We have our graduation thesis defense at the end of the month. Is there any conflict in schedule?"

Du Qingqing's words meant that she had agreed to go to Le Mans to watch the race, and her only worry was that it would affect the thesis defense. Peking University usually arranges for senior students of various majors to defend their thesis in June and July. The time of arrangement will vary for different majors, and it mainly depends on the arrangement of the college. The graduation defense of the college where Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing are located is scheduled for the end of June. Now it is already the beginning of June, and it is not surprising that Du Qingqing has such concerns. "Tomorrow we will follow the team on a plane to France. The race day will be in a week, and the race will only last 24 hours. We can fly back to China before the 17th, so there is no need to worry about conflicts with the graduation defense time."

"That's great. France is the capital of romance. I've wanted to travel there for a long time. I can't miss this opportunity. Let's pack our bags when we get back and leave on time tomorrow. By the way, where are we going to catch the plane?"

"The team boarded the plane at Beijing International Airport. They chartered an Airbus A320, so the departure time is not so strict. We just need to get to the airport before nine o'clock."

After returning to the courtyard, Du Qingqing went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Qiao Ruida began to pack their luggage. They were going to stay in France for about ten days, so they had to bring some spare clothes and daily necessities.

While eating, Du Qingqing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Honey, I remember you haven't finished your graduation thesis yet. Now that we're going to France, won't you have time to finish it?"

"This afternoon, I have completed the design of the artificial intelligence chip and sent it out for tape-out. My graduation thesis only involves the development and design process of the chip. As for the tape-out test results, I will just mention them at the end of the thesis. In other words, my graduation thesis is basically completed. The only thing missing is the tape-out result. Whether it passes or not, it will not affect my submission of the thesis."

"Is it okay for you to submit this paper and get the award for outstanding graduation thesis from your college? No one else can independently develop a chip with a completely new architecture during your undergraduate studies except you."

"That's about right. I designed this artificial intelligence chip mainly to run large AI models and use it as my graduation thesis. It just happened to be a good opportunity."

“AI big model, what is that?”

Du Qingqing's major is business administration, so it is normal that she does not know about AI big models, which are computer science. In fact, it is not just Du Qingqing. In 14, many computer practitioners did not know about AI big models. After all, AI (artificial intelligence) is still in its infancy, and face recognition and license plate recognition are already the most advanced applications. It is unimaginable for AlphaGo to defeat the world champion of Go.

“Well, the so-called AI big models refer to machine learning models with ultra-large-scale parameters, usually more than one billion, and complex computing structures. They can process massive amounts of data and complete various complex tasks, such as natural language processing and image recognition. These models are trained through deep learning technology and can demonstrate great potential in multiple fields, bringing innovation and progress to human society.” Qiao Ruida didn’t know how to explain the definition of AI big models to a layman, so he had to bring out the definition of AI big models on the Future Network.

"Although I don't quite understand what you said, I still think this thing is very powerful. After you successfully develop your artificial intelligence chip, can you create this big AI model?"

"It's not that easy. The AI ​​chip I designed is just one of the hardware foundations of AI computing. If you really want to run a large AI model, the computing power required is extremely exaggerated. You must gather a large number of AI chips, memory chips, and storage modules to form a server unit to cope with it. This is just the hardware. The development of software is no less difficult than developing hardware. After the hardware and software are complete, you still need to collect a large amount of data for feeding and conduct countless training to complete a mature AI model. I estimate that with the strength of Ruida Group, it will take at least one or two years to come up with a usable AI model."

As a reborn person, Qiao Ruida knows how difficult it is to develop a large AI model, especially in 14, when both the software and the hardware need to be built from scratch. It only takes one or two years, provided Qiao Ruida has the ability to cheat. Otherwise, it is not uncommon to see no results after five or six years of continuous research and development.

The discussion about the AI ​​big model ends here. After dinner, Du Qingqing and Qiao Ruida packed their luggage together. All kinds of clothes, shoes, hats, and daily necessities filled four full suitcases. This is when Qiao Ruida tried hard to persuade his girlfriend to bring less things. In fact, many of these things are in Qiao Ruida's dimension space. Even if they are not there, he can open the cheat code at any time and copy them. But Du Qingqing didn't know about this at all, and brought a lot of miscellaneous things.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when Qiao Ruida woke up, he noticed that the artificial intelligence chip he had put into the dimensional space for tape-out testing had completed the entire production process. Five hundred chips the size of a cigarette box lay quietly in an anti-static bag, with densely packed contacts flashing yellow light.

Qiao Ruida did not get up immediately, but entered the dimensional space with his consciousness, took out a board that had been prepared long ago, took out an artificial intelligence chip from the anti-static bag, planted the solder ball, and soldered the BGA. Then he installed the radiator and fan, and an AI computing power card with a shape similar to a graphics card was formed. Then he took out a motherboard with an M2 chip installed, plugged in the memory, hard disk, AI computing power card, connected the power supply, switch, indicator light, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and initially built an AI computing server.

Qiao Ruida held his breath, if the consciousness also breathed, and with excitement, he pressed the power button. The next moment, the power indicator lighted up, the read/write indicator light began to flash, and the LCD screen was successfully lit up. The Ruida Technology logo flashed by, and then a long string of self-check information kept refreshing the screen, and finally a Chinese prompt message and a constantly flashing cursor were displayed, and nothing else. This is normal, after all, it is a new machine, the system has not been installed yet, and nothing can be done. However, the machine can light up normally, which means that this artificial intelligence chip can work normally, and this tape-out is considered a success.

Qiao Ruida copied a Kaitian system installation USB disk, plugged it into the USB interface, entered the command, and installed the system. Thanks to the full-speed USB3.0 interface and ultra-fast read and write speed, it took only three minutes to complete the installation of the Kaitian system. The server automatically restarted, and after self-checking, it successfully entered the system desktop. Qiao Ruida operated the mouse and tried to run several commonly used software, but the effect was not good. There were typesetting errors, freezes, and even two software could not be opened at all. But this is normal. This Kaitian system was originally used on Ruida's laptop. Qiao Ruida only modified some underlying codes and used it on this AI computing server with a new architecture and a new instruction set. It is not easy to enter the system smoothly. In order to be compatible with all software, the driver must be rewritten and the AI ​​computing power card must be fully modified and adapted.

The poor performance of common software does not prove that AI computing software cannot run. Qiao Ruida found an AI computing power evaluation software from the USB flash drive, opened it, and evaluated the computing power of this server. (End of this chapter)
