Tech empires start with knockoff systems

Chapter 282 Lin Xuan's Amazing Idea!
Especially when the other party pointed out the key point that Weiruan tied up thousands of software companies behind him, he became even more silent.

"Actually, there is a way to circumvent Weiruan's system."

In the silence, at this time, the old programmer slowly said a word that made people stunned.

Under the surprised gazes of several colleagues at the wine table, he slowly said:
"Don't forget that there are virtual machines in this world, although Weiruan's system does not support Hantang Technology's processors.

But if Hantang Technology specializes in developing an X86 software virtual machine, and identifies software that supports the X86 instruction set through a special coding method, do you think it will work? "

"This……"

Hearing the old programmer's words, the people at the scene couldn't help falling into silence.

Theoretically speaking, this method is indeed feasible, but it is very difficult to implement it in practice. Based on what they have seen, they can roughly guess the results.

If you really want to develop such an X86 software virtual machine, then its development is more difficult than developing several Weiruan systems!

At this time, the bald middle-aged uncle heard the words of the old programmer, and he immediately stated the shortcomings of this method:
"While theoretically it's possible, it's not easy.

If this is achieved purely from the software level, the final efficiency must be very low.

If you want to improve efficiency, you can only develop an X86 software processing chip in the end. In addition, you need to carry out targeted programming development for this processor chip.

So to achieve this step requires the perfect cooperation of software and hardware.

The energy and funds consumed are huge, and I don't think Lin Xuan has the possibility to achieve success. "

"No, I just think Lin Xuan can do it. After all, Lin Xuan has created so many miracles!"

The old programmer looked at the bald middle-aged uncle with a faint smile, his eyes were full of determination.

Seeing this, the young man on the side nodded slightly.Then I felt in my heart that ginger is still old and spicy.

This old programmer actually came up with such a way to break the situation, it really broke the crisis all at once.

At this time, they don't know that they are in the Han and Tang Research Institute at this time.

At present, hundreds of scientific researchers who specialize in the research and development of computer chips are feeling fortunate.

Fortunately, Hantang Technology did not develop corresponding computer chips based on X86 instruction set processors.

Otherwise, follow the Weiruan system to say that it does not support Hantang technology processors.

The huge capital investment of Hantang Technology Co., Ltd. may really be in vain, and this vain is still the kind that sinks all at once and loses blood in the end.

Now Hantang Technology does not take the old way of combining pure X86 processors with reduced instruction sets like Intel and AMD.

Instead, it developed its own CPU based on the instruction set of the Han and Tang Dynasties of the computer board, and finally combined with an X86 instruction set small-core auxiliary form.

It can be said that in this mode of large and small cores, the processor of Hantang Technology has ample room for activities.

Future Hantang processors can be compatible with the X86 instruction set, directly compatible with many X86 software, and steal the software ecological chain of the X86 instruction set.

You can use your own computer Hantang instruction set to develop a computer version of the Hantang operating system directly based on the computer version of the Hantang instruction set.

The most wonderful thing is that because of the existence of the X86 small core, the computer version of the Hantang operating system can directly run software that supports the X86 instruction set through the X86 small core.

It can be said that with Lin Xuan's use of the processor research and development strategy of large and small cores, Hantang Technology's processors are in a situation where both advances and retreats are available!

And because Hantang Technology has the production authorization of the X86 instruction set, it also has the authorization of the MMX multimedia instruction set attached to the X86.

It can be said that as long as Hantang Technology does not infringe Intel's SSE series instruction set, or infringe AMD's 3D Now! extended instruction set.

It is not illegal for Hantang Technology to play such a large and small core processor routine!
Even if Intel and AMD will jump the wall because of Lin Xuan's behavior, Hantang Technology can't help it!

Because Hantang Technology did not infringe their patents, Hantang Technology used its own authorization, how could this be illegal?
Of course, this strategy is not without flaws, because Hantang Technology has no way to obtain after the late 90s.

Many new instruction sets introduced by Intel and AMD.

In fact, it is a bit weak in multimedia and high-performance computing. After all, Cyrix only obtained the authorization of the MXX instruction set.

After many multimedia and high-performance instruction sets were born, Cyrix was on the verge of bankruptcy when they were born.

After the small Cyrix was acquired, Weisheng Electronics also had no money or means to obtain new multimedia and high-performance instruction sets.

Therefore, in terms of multimedia instruction sets, Hantang Technology has only obtained the first generation of MMX multimedia instruction sets.

However, although the calculations on multimedia and large-scale software are a bit weak, this does not affect it at all.

Because the real calculation is not the X86 small core but the large core of the Han and Tang instruction set.

This small core is actually just an intermediary, responsible for giving calculation requirements and then getting the results of large core calculations.

Therefore, Hantang Technology only has the MXX multimedia instruction set and has no big impact!

"The boss is really high-sighted, and he has foreseen such a crisis in advance.

It can only be said that the boss is worthy of being the boss. If it weren't for the boss's big and small core processor strategy, then we would have lost a lot. "

At this time, in the research room of the Hantang Research Institute, some researchers were discussing this matter in low voices, and they praised Lin Xuan's big and small core processors.

Of course, they also speculated at this time whether Lin Xuan had foreseen such a situation in the future, so he proposed the development strategy of large and small core processors, and eliminated the attack of Weiruan in advance.

"However, although such a strategy is good, it is somewhat dangerous at the Han and Tang system level."

A researcher from Hantang Technology slowly expressed his opinion.

Although the Hantang processor launched such a large and small core architecture, it did not infringe the patents of Intel and AMD.

Even if they want to sue Hantang Technology, there is no way to sue Hantang Technology.

But at the level of system software, it does not seem to be breaking the law if Hantang Technology's computer system directly uses software from other people's systems.

Because there is no such precedent in the world, it is ambiguous whether this is illegal or not.

But if Weiruan really wants to sue Hantang Technology, it is really possible to sue Hantang Technology in court, and it may win the lawsuit and make Hantang Technology compensate a large loss.

Therefore, although Hantang Technology can use this method to allow itself to advance or retreat in the field of processors, so that people can only gnash their teeth and have no choice but to violate the rules at the system software level.

In this regard, another young researcher said with a smile:

"What are you worried about? Don't forget that our Hantang system is an open source system!
Weiruan can sue if they want to, they go to those "netizens" who posted anonymously on the Internet.

Why does Weiruan ask us Hantang Technology? After all, our Hantang Technology system does not "naturally" support X86 software! "

The words of that young scientific researcher instantly sounded like a wake-up call to wake up the depression in the hearts of all the scientific research staff on site.

Yes, the Hantang system is an open source system!
At this time, it is completely possible to use the form of a "vest" to release a hardware driver that supports X86 software, and throw the blame on the "folk masters" of Daxia!
Their Hantang Technology is completely innocent!
"Hahahahaha..."

After figuring out the joints, hundreds of researchers in the Hantang Research Institute responsible for research and development of computer CPUs suddenly burst out laughing.

They all felt that Lin Xuan was really far-sighted, and Lin Xuan's method was really clever.

At this time, in the Han and Tang Research Institute, the scientific researchers who were unattainable in the eyes of these colleagues all admired Lin Xuan.

……

Beijing, Longxin Charco Company.

When many technology companies in the capital are resting, the Longxin Charco company is still brightly lit at this time.

Although it cannot be said that the whole company is brightly lit, the research department of Longxin Charco is brightly lit.

After all, it is only after 8 o'clock in the evening, and many scientific researchers spontaneously return to the company to work overtime after dinner.

This is the normal state of Longxin Charcot!
There is no way, the scientific research funds invested by the above are not enough, and the scientific research task of Longxin Charco is very difficult.

Longxin Xiake needs to develop and design a CPU chip with Daxia's independent intellectual property rights to complete the domestic replacement of computer chips.

It can be said that in the unfavorable situation of insufficient scientific research funds and insufficient scientific research personnel.

Longxin Xiake can only make up for the two deficiencies by working overtime, and complete the task of replacing Daxia's domestic CPU chips.

Among them, many people couldn't bear to work overtime every day and left Longxin Xiake Company because they couldn't see the head call and the salary was insufficient.

But there are also more people who are willing to work overtime voluntarily, even if the overtime subsidy is very pitiful...

But in order to complete the important task of replacing domestic CPUs in Daxia and fulfilling the "Dream of Daxia Revival", they insist on voluntarily working overtime every day. These are the cutest people in Daxia!
"Mr. Hu, it seems that Lin Xuan is going to fail this time."

At this time, in Longxin Xiake's scientific research department, people who have worked for a long time also took a break.

They were discussing with each other in low voices what the major newspapers reprinted in the interview video of the world's richest man Bill Gayci.

At this time, a young man was expressing his opinion to their head, Hu Zhixin, who had the strongest scientific research ability.

But without waiting for Hu Zhixin to speak, another researcher beside him said slowly:
"However, this is also good. Since the X86 system cannot accommodate our domestic CPU, then we will work with Hantang Technology to create a brand new Hantang system computer empire."

Regarding this, another young man wearing glasses shook his head slightly, and then said helplessly:

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. After all, those software companies who are eager to make money probably won't invest money in to provide support for our processor and Hantang system."

Hearing the words of the young man wearing glasses, the others fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, this is indeed the biggest flaw of their Loongson processors!

This defect is difficult to make up, even if they can launch the world's strongest processor, but because there is no software support.

Their processor is just a castle in the sky, it doesn't do anything at all, and consumers will not buy such a processor!

"I don't know what Mr. Hu thinks?"

A young man who was the first to speak slowly set his sights on Hu Zhixin, wanting to see what Hu Zhixin, the head of Longxin Xiake, thought about this matter.
