"What's the problem? There is no place to live. All the personnel live in military tents! Think that when I was in the Northwest Desert, I didn't live in tents every day?"
However, Gui Changshu did not agree with Yu Can.
He believes that the thousands of programmers who have been ordered to support should carry forward a arduous and simple style, first complete millions of codes before speaking.How can you pay attention to conditions?
Hearing what he said, the older generation of engineers such as Wu Wen and Song Qing nodded involuntarily.They have had the experience of arduous struggle, and in order to win scientific research tasks, they have not slept for several days and nights.
Seeing their expressions, Xu Zhenming smiled and came out to round up the game: "Guardian Yu! In the newly requisitioned area of our group company, there are many offices in the former Honghe Township Government compound. Although the conditions are more difficult, they can work and Live!"
Xu Zhenming suggested that the staff of the 707 engineering team should tidy up the newly acquired buildings in the eastern part of the compound. There is no problem with accommodating two thousand people.
"Okay! This plan can be done according to Mr. Xu's words!" Seeing this, Gui Changshu ordered with a serious expression.
Putting this episode aside, Xu Zhenming again began to discuss the second step of the Longteng 133CPU design work.
According to his plan, after the two medium-sized computers are in place, all engineers participating in chip design will first use the decrypted version of EDA software for design, and finally use the LTEDA software developed by the project team for testing and finalizing.
This proposal is more reasonable, and everyone has no opinion.
The following is to discuss the architecture of the Longteng 133CPU chip.
Regarding this technical issue, Xu Zhenming did not speak much if he was not professional.He appointed Zhou Jiawei as the chief engineer of the 1464 project, responsible for the design of the chip architecture.
"Everyone! Intel Corporation of the United States has released the Pentium 133 CPU. The X86 architecture CPU will become more and more powerful in the future, and even dominate the country. Therefore, we should choose the X86 architecture as the main architecture of the Longteng 133CPU!"
Zhou Jiawei turned on his laptop, operating the computer while expounding his own ideas.
The X86 architecture adopts the CISC instruction set, which is indeed a major trend in the future, unifying the PC computer industry.
But there is also a CPU with a RISC instruction set architecture, and IBM has produced such a simplified instruction set architecture CPU!
The blue giant IBM cultivated Intel because it ignored the PC business, which led to a shrinking market share, and finally basically gave up the PC business.
But this cannot be said that the architecture of the RISC instruction set is unscientific!
In the era of the sudden rise of smart phones, CPUs with this architecture became popular again.
Therefore, Xu Zhenming disapproved of Gao Jiawei's speech.He believes that the domestic CPU manufacturing industry needs to overtake corners, and it must start with smartphone chips!
No matter how you chase it now, it can't catch up with Intel!
"Zhou Gong! I have a proposal regarding the chip architecture!" Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming raised an objection to Zhou Jiawei's plan.
He asked everyone with a serious expression: "Everyone, we are trying our best to catch up with Intel, can we catch up? When I get the Longteng 133 CPU, will Intel develop a higher frequency CPU?"
Everyone nodded.
In terms of chip development speed, Intel should launch faster CPUs next year.
"In that case, why should we follow the pace of others to develop? I suggest using the RISC instruction set architecture to design the CPU!"
Only then did Xu Zhenming put forward his own ideas.
"The CPU performance of the RISC architecture is not good and the running speed is slow!"
"We can't come up with a new CPU or lag behind products of the same generation!"
"It's better not to engage in domestic CPU!"
Zhou Jiawei and others disagreed with Xu Zhenming's proposal.
Gui Daishu and Yu Can are laymen. They don't know what to say at this time, blinking their eyes to look at Xu Zhenming, and then at the chip engineer who is speaking.
But Xu Zhenming didn't panic, and smiled at everyone.
When everyone calmed down, he smiled and said: "Our Yiming Group's CNC boards generally use 4 chips. The main purpose is to solve the performance problem of the microcontroller. I call it'multi-core'! And so on, Our Longteng 133 CPU chip, why not use dual-core or multi-core to solve the problem?"
This concept will soon be used by Intel, and Xu Zhenming is still relatively advanced in presenting it.
"Yeah! This method is very good! We used it when we were making supercomputer chips!" At this time, Wu Wen's eyes lit up and he said suddenly.
Not only him, but Song Qing and other older generation of engineers engaged in chip research began to support Xu Zhenming's opinions at this time.
"Mr Xu's plan is very good! We should choose Mr. Xu's plan to follow the path of self-development!" They all applauded excitedly.
These people used to play with "many-core" CPUs when there was no high-performance chip production line.
In order to provide the Longbow Group with high-performance CPUs, they have tried various types of CPUs using various methods.Now that we have a 0.6-micron chip production line, why don't we play it out?
"A bunch of buns!" Seeing this situation, Zhou Jiawei thought depressed.Judging from the current situation, the architecture of Longteng 133CPU is likely to follow Xu Zhenming's proposal to determine the direction.
In other words, future domestic chips will use the RISC instruction set architecture, which is of far-reaching significance!It is much better than the "Xuwei" company buying other people's mobile phone chip architecture after twenty years!
as predicted.
"Regarding the CPU architecture of the 1464 project, I agree with Mr. Xu's opinion!" At this time, Gui Changshu settled down the plan.
Of course, Zhou Jiawei will lead the next work.
Xu Zhenming suggested to Zhou Jiawei that the architecture of the Longteng 133 CPU chip should be set to four types: single-core, dual-core, quad-core and many-core.The pins of the CPU do not have to be compatible with X86. The 1464 project team also studied computer motherboards and took the road of its own PC development.
This proposal, supported by Gui Changshu, also formally affected the development direction of mainland computer hardware.
Determine the design workflow of the Longteng 133CPU. The following work is to discuss the issue of the Longteng 133CPU computer assembly language instruction set.
This issue is very important. Once determined, it will affect the finalization of the domestic Linux operating system version.
"Zhang Gong! You are responsible for taking the lead in writing the assembly language instruction set and development environment! In addition, you are also responsible for the chips of 2G mobile phones and PHS mobile phones!"
After thinking about it, Xu Zhenming still uses engineers from Yiming Group to lead chip research and development.First, they are very young and master the most advanced technology; second, they are also preparing for the withdrawal of the Longbow Group's project team.
The R&D project of Longteng 133CPU is a key project, and Longbow Group will fully support it.Will the next level of chip development be the same?
People without thought, he must worry about.
Of course Xu Zhenming has to make plans for the future of Yiming Group.
But Gui Changshu didn't think so.
He believes that Xu Zhenming has a high profile and dedicated his company's resources to help the Longbow Group and the country.At the end of the meeting, he smiled and asked Xu Zhenming: "Comrade Xu Zhenming! What brand of mainframe computer do you think is more appropriate?"
Gui Changshu made the decision on behalf of the leaders of the headquarters, preparing to establish a computing center for Yiming Group. Of course, he must select the most advanced computer for this computing center.
In this case, Xu Zhenming said without hesitation: "Choose'Inspur' brand mainframe computer!"
Everyone was surprised to see that he did not choose the "future" brand computer that is flourishing in China.
"The company in the future will be a trading company, unable to undertake scientific research tasks!" Xu Zhenming said his views.
Everyone nodded and said yes.
To determine the core CPU problem of Project 1464, the following process is much simpler.The research and development of a new generation computer based on Longteng's 133CPU bit is entrusted to Yu Can of the Longbow Group.
"Leaders! The hardware system of the Longteng 133CPU chip has been determined. The following is the determination of the operating system, please provide suggestions!" At this time, Xu Zhenming raised the last question and asked the participants to participate in the discussion.
He asked Zhu Xiaolong to also come to the meeting, ready to hand over the operating system project to him to be responsible for contact.
"Comrades! The leaders of the headquarters have made a decision to require us to develop our own operating system too! All of our defense equipment in the Longbow Group must use our own chips, can we not use foreigners' operating systems?" At this time, Gui Changshu gave the above instructions on behalf of the leaders of the headquarters.
"The DOS system is outdated; the OS system needs to be matched with the Apple computer; the Windows graphics operating system is good, but we cannot rely on it; the UNIX system is expensive... etc. So I suggest using the Linux system source code as a template to develop our own Linux operating system!"
"Old Wu is right! We choose Linux!"
"Is there anyone else who has a different opinion? I don't see it! Report to Team Leader Xu, everyone agrees to use Linux!"
In the meeting room, the engineers who participated in the meeting all had a unified opinion this time, and suggested Xu Zhenming not to discuss this issue.
The Linux operating system maintains the Unix multi-threaded characteristics, and is actually more suitable for use on minicomputers or servers.
Even Zhou Jiawei and Zhang Guoli agreed with this kind of proposal.
But Xu Zhenming smiled at Gui Changshu at this time, "Leader Gui! How long can you lend me the 1,000 programmers at most?"
"What do you mean?" Gui Changshu couldn't figure out Xu Zhenming's thoughts, so he looked at Xu Zhenming in surprise.
Xu Zhenming smiled and told everyone, "If we have enough human resources, we should rewrite the Linux kernel, preferably in assembly language."
He told everyone: When the C language was just invented, the Unix operating system was re-written in C language and its efficiency improved a lot.
As a domestic operating system, the 1464 project team has the responsibility to give the country a perfect operating system kernel.
"Papa..."
There was nothing wrong with this proposal, and everyone applauded in support of Xu Zhenming's opinion.
Seeing this, Gui Changshu frowned and thought for a moment.Afterwards, he touched the sparse white hair and said, "Comrade Xu Zhenming! I also agree with your opinion. This group of programmers can work on the 1464 project for two months!"
A thousand people work for two months at the same time, and it is more than enough to make an initial version of the Linux operating system!
In this case, Xu Zhenming made up his mind to rewrite the operating system that belongs to the Chinese!
"What's the problem? There is no place to live. All the personnel live in military tents! Think that when I was in the Northwest Desert, I didn't live in tents every day?"
However, Gui Changshu did not agree with Yu Can.
He believes that the thousands of programmers who have been ordered to support should carry forward a arduous and simple style, first complete millions of codes before speaking.How can you pay attention to conditions?
