1991 Starting from the core

The news that a young man from Xia Guo was live broadcasting the design of IC chips in the Jinsha exhibition hall finally took wings at noon and flew to various exhibition halls.

Although it is a world dealer conference, not everyone understands IC design, and even more people don’t even know what EDA is. But when it comes to a young man who plans to complete a team's work for at least a month in one day, everyone's subconscious reaction is that it is impossible, this person is crazy, this is not human.

But that young man was right there, doing it under the eyes of countless people.

Believe it or not, they are here.

…

Xi Xiaoding stood not far behind Su Yuanshan, in the middle of the crowd - behind him, a crowd of hundreds of people surrounded him.

"Xiao Ding, you'd better persuade him. If he continues like this, he may collapse."

The speaker next to him was a Chinese man in his early thirties. The tag on his chest showed that he was from TI and his name was Shengguang Peak.

"If I enter this state, I will beat anyone who talks to me." Xi Xiaoding's voice was low and his tone was very calm. He stared at Su Yuanshan's shadow reflected on the monitor, feeling a sense of envy and worry.

He knew that Su Yuanshan was forcing out all his potential and strength - Su Yuanshan was certainly not like the rumors outside that he designed a chip on the spot when his brain got hot. All the design plans for this main control IC have actually been completed, and Su Yuanshan is just implementing it on the EDA now.

In fact, Su Yuanshan asked him about the algorithm last night.

But Xi Xiaoding never expected that Su Yuanshan would work so hard and dare to use one day to complete all the layout and design of a main control IC from scratch - without Yuanxin EDA, it would take ordinary people about ten days. With a remote core, this time will be shortened by at least half.

Shengguangfeng smiled, patted Xi Xiaoding on the shoulder, stared at the screen and stopped talking.

Some of the people behind me left, but more came.

IBM, APPLE, Cyrix, MOTO, Bell, SONY, NEC, SAMSUNG, UMC...

Of course, this also includes AMD, who have been called, and they have been here for a long time.

All the people related to chip design gathered together and paid attention to this young man who was challenging the limits of human design.

Someone has already given him a nickname, the Magic Boy of the East.

…

Su Yuanshan knew that there were many people behind him, but he had no extra energy to pay attention. All his energy and all his physical strength were focused on the design.

After two errors occurred in succession during debugging, Su Yuanshan licked his lips, knowing that he had reached the limit and that he would only become more and more confused if he continued. But he still closed his eyes, took a deep breath and bit his lip, forcing himself to stay awake.

After the circuit layout and wiring were completed, Su Yuanshan set the debugging parameters and pressed simulation.

As the green base color rises, thin lines represent the flow of current and data to the chip, and strings of data are displayed.

Su Yuanshan knew that he couldn't stand up at this moment, so he just turned around slowly, blood slowly rising on his pale face. He looked at the designers who were looking at him in silence, smiled and uttered a few words.

"I'm done, what about you?"

Xi Xiaoding smiled and started to applaud.

Yang Yiwen helped Su Yuanshan into the organizer's office amidst applause. Behind him, Director Yu, Professor Li Gaoliang, and several staff from the San Francisco Consulate followed closely. Everyone's face looked serious, but the excitement and excitement in their eyes could not be suppressed.

"You really...don't want your life." Yang Yiwen took out the chocolate from her bag and handed it to Su Yuanshan, and then handed him a can of Coke. She knew that Su Yuanshan was already a little hypoglycemic.

Su Yuanshan buttoned the can twice but did not open it. A pair of big hands on the side immediately took it and opened it for him.

"Thank you, it's not bad." He drank half a bottle of Coke with a tilt of his neck. He felt that his strength had recovered a lot, and he looked up at everyone with a smile.

Director Yu, Professor Li, from the consulate, and other members of the delegation.

Everyone looked at him with a smile - a look of confirmation, with the kind of pride and pride one would expect from a world champion.

"Take a rest first, and we'll talk about the rest after we get back." Director Yu stepped forward and patted Su Yuanshan on the shoulder, showing a meaningful smile.

After all, there are staff from the organizer in this office, so we can't praise Su Yuanshan in person for bringing glory to the country.

"Yes." Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded, said sorry and then closed his eyes to rest.

Except for Yang Yiwen and a consulate employee, everyone else walked out of the office and went to the Yuanxin exhibition hall, which had been turned into a vegetable market, to help with sales.

Su Yuanshan's design was a new project from scratch, and there was no fraud at all - even if everyone now knows that the layout of this chip has been designed long ago, and may have even been completed, these designers also know , even if you copy homework, it is a dream to complete it within one day.

But Su Yuanshan finished. He live broadcasted how to use an EDA software to complete work that takes at least ten days or even longer for peer software.

——As he said, "I'm done, what about you?"

——We are all traveling together. I have already driven the sports car. What about you? Still want to ride a bike?

…

Austin, Texas.

There is a very inconspicuous sign hanging on the sixteenth floor of an ordinary business building.

Sematech. The full name is Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology—Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Strategic Alliance.

This strategic technology alliance, established four years ago and composed of more than ten leading companies in semiconductor manufacturing such as IBM, Intel, HP, Samsung, and TI, has guided the Star Flag and its allies to make rapid progress in the semiconductor industry.

It just so happens that there is not a single company from Ni Country in the alliance.

A middle-aged white man hung up the phone angrily, took a few deep breaths and started dialing.

"Donner, I have a suggestion. Sematech should not be limited to semiconductor manufacturing and design companies. We should have a larger development vision."

"For example, we should let the best in the EDA industry join in."

"What? Don't you know about that magical boy from Xia Kingdom? An EDA from Xia Kingdom is enough to double the design efficiency of the chip! That's twice the time!"

"I really don't know how those EDA companies that grew up eating shit did it. They said they received the news two months ago. Some people even went to Bell Company to conduct on-site operations, but so far they can't even imitate it. What a joke. .”

"Okay, OK."

After hanging up the phone, the white man lit a cigarette and frowned deeply.

As the technical director of Sematech, he certainly understands what an excellent EDA means to the semiconductor industry - based on the predictable development trend of integrated circuits, EDA will assume increasingly important pre-strip design and verification work in the future.

Such an important tool software actually puts an unknown small company in Xia Guo at the forefront!

This is a great irony for the Star-Spangled Kingdom, the birthplace of semiconductors and programming.

After thinking for a while, the man continued to pick up the phone.

"Bressman, are you here? Ask if that Yuanxin EDA is willing to sell it. If so, tell IBM that it can offer generous terms."

"Yes, very generous."
