"Your guess is correct. Our chip is manufactured with 0.18 micron lithography precision, and it is currently the world's most advanced chip manufacturing technology." Seeing Professor Long's team so expression, Zhou Jiawei explained with a smile.
He told all the guests present that Yiming Group has just developed the latest chip manufacturing technology.This result was applied to the production of GUP as soon as it came out. The sample photos you saw should be the only chip made with 0.18 micron photolithography process in the world.
"Hiss..." Upon hearing these words, the guests in the conference room suddenly took a breath.
"Our country's chip Foundry technology is already so advanced?" They all thought.
At this time, Xu Zhenming smiled and asked Professor Long, "Professor Long, did you design the graphics card of the Galaxy III, or did we design it?"
"Of course it is more appropriate for us to design." Professor Long didn't want Yiming Group to steal the limelight, so he set the task of designing supercomputer graphics cards on the spot.
In this case, Xu Zhenming was unwilling to fight for merit.
This time he wants to make a democratic decision and ask everyone what the name of this GPU should be.
"How about Hongmeng?"
"No, your name is a bit old-fashioned. It should be called Xiaolong Cool Generation."
"In my opinion, since it is the Suzaku series of chips, it is better to have Suzaku Nirvana generation."
The engineers in the conference room couldn't dispute, and no one could convince anyone.
Seeing this situation, Xu Zhenming smiled and said, "How about a show of hands?"
"Okay! Hehehe..." Everyone smiled happily.
Soon after, through a show of hands, the name of China's first 3DGPU chip was determined, and it was called Snapdragon Cool Generation.
Make sure this matter, it's time for lunch.Zhou Jiawei announced the adjournment of the meeting. After lunch, he went to his laboratory to demonstrate the Snapdragon Cool Generation GPU.
On the way to the canteen for dinner, Xu Zhenming called him to the front."Lao Zhou, we still have to design our own graphics card, it is best to be able to use industrial grade and civilian grade." Xu Zhenming commanded with a serious expression.
"You mean... Professor Long's team is not good?"
"Hmm...I feel they are unreliable." Xu Zhenming nodded and asked Zhou Jiawei's team to take out China's first 3D graphics card within a month.
After confirming this task, the two of them accompany Professor Long and the others at ease.
Around 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Jiawei's laboratory, GPU working group's testing room.Professor Long led the team members to this test room.
There are a dozen workbenches in the room, and each workbench has a Snapdragon cool generation GPU.These GPUs are installed on a special breadboard and connected to the testing instrument through a data cable.
Each set of testing equipment is controlled by a computer workstation, responsible for communicating with the GPU chip, sending signals and capturing test data.These data are finally summarized in the server of the workstation for calculation, storage and automatic data list generation.
"Wow! The equipment in their laboratory is so advanced, much more advanced than the equipment in our laboratory."
"It should be imported? Anyway, no domestic manufacturer makes this kind of equipment."
"Look, old Liu, the nameplate seems to be domestically produced."
"Made by Yiming Group Company for internal use only. You all guessed wrong, these devices are Yiming Group Company's own products."
"Uh? Yiming Group can still manufacture this kind of cutting-edge instrument by itself?"
Professor Long’s team members were shocked, their attention was attracted by these testing instruments, and they had no time to pay attention to the testing data.
Seeing this scene, Professor Long’s powerful general Liu Tao suggested to his immediate boss with a smile, "Teacher, we simply buy this kind of testing instrument from Yiming Group. We can use this product. ."
His words really make sense, and Professor Long cannot refute it.No way, Professor Long had to negotiate with Xu Zhenming, "Xu Dong, you make this kind of equipment by yourself anyway, how about customizing a set for our unit."
"Hey..." Xu Zhenming shook his head when he heard this."Professor Long, I really don't want to quote the price." He sighed, not embarrassed to give the price of these instruments.
"How much? It won't cost more than one million?" Liu Tao looked at Xu Zhenming in surprise.
"One million? Haha... Ten million is about the same. One million can't buy the world's most advanced testing equipment." At this time, Zhou Jiawei shook his hand and said the approximate price of this test equipment.
Hearing this, Professor Long opened his mouth suddenly and looked at Shen Yi dumbfounded."Ten million yuan for a set of test equipment. They are really willing to burn money at Yiming Group." He thought.
At this time, Liu Tao and others all stuck out their tongues and made surprising movements.In their view, spending 10 million yuan on this kind of test equipment seems a bit unworthy.
"This... we can't accept this price. The funding for the Galaxy III project is very tight." Liu Tao smiled bitterly.So he dismissed the idea of buying such cutting-edge test equipment and turned his attention to the cool generation GPU of Snapdragon on the test bench.
At this time, the workstation display on each workbench is showing a data curve.
Some are floating point calculation speed, some are integer calculation speed, and some are triangle filling speed and so on.In a word, all the key performance data of the GPU chip can be captured by this testing instrument and displayed on the screen.
Seeing this scene, Liu Tao and others were already shocked, almost staring at the computer screen intently.
"Strong! Very powerful. This is the best data I have seen."
"This GPU has been able to beat many CPU chips."
"The Snapdragon Cool Generation GPU is so powerful, can our Galaxy III CPU keep up?"
"That's great. When we design the Galaxy III, we should not allocate the computing power of the CPU to the data display."
Liu Tao and others were excitedly discussing while watching the detection data on the display.
In short, today these people are an eye-opener, just as Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, everything they looked at was so novel.
In addition, they also have a sense of pride emerging in their hearts, "Our Galaxy III does not need to buy chips from foreigners in the future. Our country's own chips are more advanced than they are."
Seeing this scene, Professor Long smiled and asked everyone: "Comrades, can we make a preliminary judgment now?" As he spoke, he raised the notebook in Yang's hand.
Professor Long is different from Liu Tao and others. As soon as he walked into the test room, he began to pay attention to the various data of the Snapdragon Cool generation and make records.Professor Long is most concerned about the performance of the GPU, rather than being distracted by the high technology in front of him like Liu Tao and others.
After some observations, based on the collected data, he believes that the data of this cool generation GPU of Snapdragon is very strong and can completely pass the acceptance of his team.But project acceptance requires democratic decision-making, so he has to solicit everyone's opinions.
"I think the performance of this GPU is very good and it has reached the design requirements."
"me too."
"Teacher Long, our opinions are the same."
At this time, Liu Tao and others all agreed that expressions are not needed to test and demonstrate GPU data.
"The data of the Snapdragon cool generation GPU is so strong, what else do we have to prove? Just pass it directly." They all thought.
In that case, Xu Zhenming and others smiled and applauded.
Yiming Group undertook the second task of the Galaxy III project and finally achieved a complete success.He asked Zhou Jiawei and others to handle the transfer procedures of the materials and project research and development materials, and the subsequent handover work would naturally be handled by Zhou Jiawei and others.
Xu Zhenming himself was about to prepare some materials, and took He Changlin to fly in the southern city of Xiangnan Province.
Dai Jiahong, deputy director of the Technical Department of the Xiangnan Electric Machinery Factory, sent him an email saying that the YM-PLC project demonstration has completed the main testing work.The staff of the Jingshi Railway Department should communicate with Yiming Group Company for technical exchanges.This kind of thing can't be delayed, otherwise it will affect a large amount of income.
Around half of the afternoon on the second day, Xu Zhenming led He Changlin's team members to the meeting room of the Xiangnan Electric Plant.
At this time, the meeting room was full of people, including engineers from the technical department of the Shonan Electric Factory, and some strangers.These people are all leaders and technicians from the Jingshi Railway Department.
"Xu Dong, let me introduce you, this is Director Zheng of the railway department, and this is Director Liu..." After Xu Zhenming and others were seated, Dai Jiahong stood up and introduced them to the personnel of both sides.
Director Zheng is a little old man who is over fifty years old, not tall, and wearing a pair of brown reading glasses.His hair is relatively messy, and he is not as particular about image as some bureau leaders.After some introduction, Xu Zhenming knew that this person was a technical background, the first generation of railway electrical engineer in China.
The fat and white Director Liu is his subordinate, a scientific research leader specializing in the research of railway technology automation projects.
Since these people are all technical engineers, Xu Zhenming breathed a sigh of relief.In his opinion, technical management talents should be better at dealing with them.
However, things are a bit different from what he imagined.
"Xu Dong, we have done all-round tests on the several models of YM-PLC prototypes you sent. Generally speaking, the performance is not bad, but we are not satisfied with the PLC ladder diagram language." At the beginning, the tall and white Director Liu asked a sharp question.
He told Xu Zhenming that the PLCs in the railway sector are all Siemens brands.In order to maintain the versatility and interchangeability of accessories, he requested that Yiming Group should mainly imitate Siemens products.
However, this is completely different from Xu Zhenming's idea.If it completely imitates other people's products, why does Yiming Group have to work hard in product development?
At the beginning, the Wanwan engineer in charge of the PLC project was stopped by Xu Zhenming precisely because of the imitation of the Siemens PLC.According to the statement of Director Liu, Xu Zhenming had wrongly blamed the engineer Li Xiaoguang.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming secretly said in his heart: "Even if this kind of large-scale project business cannot be discussed, we will not change our original intention, otherwise, how can China's PLC technology improve?"
In his opinion, the railway department does not need YM-PLC of Yiming Group, and other departments may not be the same as them.For example, the power sector, metallurgical sector and other industries that are relatively fatter in China.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming looked at the opposite Director Zheng, wanting to observe the attitude of this old comrade.However, at this time, the old comrade, whose hair was messed up like a chicken coop, had a dull expression at this time, or no expression at all.
"Director Liu, our company’s YM-PLC has been finalized and we will definitely not imitate Siemens products. If we want to imitate German products, will their company sue us?" Xu Zhenming gave his answer with a smile on his face .
As soon as the meeting started, he had chosen to give up."If you make a product, you must make your own product, why do you want to copy it?" he thought.
"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Chief Liu on the opposite side sneered a few times.
No one else in the conference room spoke at this time.
The railway staff looked at Xu Zhenming coldly, some were sneer, some were expressionless, and some were surprised.
It should be said that they were very surprised, thinking that Xu Zhenming did not know how to promote, and did not listen to the opinions of Director Liu, the head of the headquarters.
Is this okay?
"PASS! This company called Yiming Group Company must pass." These people sneered secretly.
Because of this, the atmosphere in the meeting room was suddenly embarrassing.
Dai Jiahong, who presided over the meeting, was even more embarrassed.He did not expect this scene to appear at the beginning of the meeting, which was very far from what he imagined.Ever since, Dai Jiahong was stunned, not knowing how to turn the cards.
at this time.
"Ahem! Let me say a few words." He Changlin smiled and coughed a few times, breaking the cold atmosphere in the conference room.
He opened the PPT document on his computer and turned to the third page.
"In fact, we can make products that are better than Siemens PLC, and the price is consistent with their quotation. However, considering the thinking mode of domestic users, we chose this slightly downgrade PLC model."
On behalf of the technicians, He Changlin asked Director Liu, what kind of product does the Beijing Normal Bureau of the railway department want?
Do I have to choose foreigners' products?
"Before returning to China, I worked in several high-tech companies in the United States. In my opinion, the products of foreigners are nothing more than that." At the end, He Changlin introduced himself to his experience.
He was right.
If He Changlin had not returned to China, he would not give up his American nationality.In the near future, he will also be listed as one of the top scientists in semiconductor and electronic technology by the Americans.
How many people in the world can enjoy this kind of glory?
Therefore, after listening to his introduction of his experience, Director Zheng, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help being surprised. He took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at He Changlin in surprise.
"Old He, have you worked for GE?" He asked He Changlin a little excited.
"When I was at GE, I was the director of the PLC laboratory." He Changlin nodded proudly.The remarks made by Director Liu just now made him very unhappy, so he showed this attitude.
"Uh, the director of GE's PLC laboratory? Damn, this old man is too awesome, right?"
"I really haven't seen it yet. This shameless little old man is so awesome."
"Hall-level scientist!"
At this time, the staff of the railway department thought so.
"Your guess is correct. Our chip is manufactured with 0.18 micron lithography precision, and it is currently the world's most advanced chip manufacturing technology." Seeing Professor Long's team so expression, Zhou Jiawei explained with a smile.
