Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou didn't know how long it took. While waiting, he reviewed all the knowledge about Yinglong EDA in his mind over and over again, even roughly going through its code composition.

The screen of his mobile phone was soaked with sweat from his palms, but the group of people in front of him remained silent.

Finally, a bald man standing behind Lu Xu spoke first.

"No need to test, I understand."

Lu Xu turned around and nodded slightly after recognizing the other party.

"Mr. Zhang, this thing is true."

"Just call me Zhang Yue. The boss has repeatedly told me not to call me the boss. This thing seems to be more than just fidelity. The frame design concept inside it, I don't think even Synopsys can make it."

Synopsys is the world's top EDA software provider, and their EDA products have monopolized the international market for more than 20 years.

But now Zhang Yue directly stated his point of view.

What Yinglong can do, Synopsys cannot do.

This alone is enough to prove Yinglong's originality and advancement.

"I think it's more than just the frame design. How can I put this thing into perspective? I don't feel like it's from this era."

The man next to Zhang Yue interrupted.

After hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Ye Zhou's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

Of course he knew that this thing did not belong to the current technical level, but he did not intend to expose this for the time being.

Could it be that someone saw through it so quickly?

"How to say?"

Zhang Yue asked with a frown.

"The development direction of EDA is actually nothing more than the optimization of algorithms and architecture. However, have you noticed that this thing provides a completely new route."

"Come on, Lu Xu, let me operate it."

As he spoke, the man squeezed Lu Xu away and sat on the chair.

"Look, I noticed this page when Lu Xu was operating it just now. Do you know what this is?"

The people surrounding him gathered together in an instant. After seeing clearly the words that the man was pointing at, the crowd let out a neat "Fuck" sound.

Even Zhang Yue, the boss, is no exception.

"My ****, this is the person who designed this EDA for the Cloud HPC module. From the beginning, he had no intention of optimizing the algorithm and architecture that were approaching the bottleneck. He wanted to directly pull the chip design into the cloud. .”

The man nodded. He tried to start the module, but then found that the optional cloud server was empty.

"Yes, when designing this EDA, he took into account the problem of insufficient computing power of existing computers. Therefore, he did not intend to limit the EDA performance to a certain computer at all."

"For ordinary EDA, even if you use a supercomputer like TaihuLight, its performance has an upper limit."

"But this Yinglong, his computing power comes from cloud computing."

"How big the computing power of the cloud server is. It can even be said that Yinglong's computing power is unlimited."

Everyone gasped, but then another question came to their mind.

What’s the use of such a large amount of computing power?

If it is based on the current scale of integrated circuits, basically the computing power of commercial computers used by enterprises is enough.

This question circled in their minds, and after just a few seconds, everyone had the answer.

No wonder.

No wonder the man said before that Ying Long didn't look like a product of this era.

Because its service target is not the current chip design at all!

It is the chip design that will take place ten or even decades later when chip design enters the sub-nanometer era and the scale of integrated circuits enters the ultra-large era!

Everyone gasped.

This Yinglong EDA is no longer as simple as beating the existing mainstream foreign EDA.

This is not a product of one dimension at all.

If foreign EDA still uses pens to draw on white paper, Yinglong EDA has already stepped into the threshold of 3D printing.

Once this thing is announced, it will set off a storm in the chip industry.

However, before they could cast their surprised eyes on Ye Zhou, someone else emerged from the crowd and said:

"Cloud computing is really strong in chip design, but it's not incomprehensible. I just saw something that I can't understand."

The crowd's eyes were focused on the speaker. He squeezed to the front, sat on a chair and said:

"I work on EDA algorithms. Look, we have a concept called ultra-large-scale computing task splitting, which mainly uses automated deployment to split multiple tasks."

"You speak in human language. There are not many people working on algorithms here, so I can't understand the mathematical language you speak."

Zhang Yue interrupted his narrative mercilessly.

The man smiled awkwardly and continued:

"Let me give you a simple example. A group of people are cleaning the class. What we have to do is assign the taller people to clean the windows and the stronger people to move the tables. This can save time and effort. , which is also a common practice now.”

"However, I just took a look at Yinglong's task distribution interface, and it doesn't seem to work like this."

"Its mission is to distribute in real time. After cleaning the windows, the taller person will mop the ground under his feet, and the person who has moved the table will clean the windows that it can reach."

"Can you understand? This EDA uses computing power to the point where every penny is spent. In other words, it has drained all the computing power it can get."

"Not to mention our own algorithms, even the top algorithm from Synopsys can only achieve about 40% in computing power utilization efficiency, but this Yinglong's is 100%."

"That's what I don't understand."

"I don't understand how this thing was made at all. I probably wouldn't be able to understand it even if I pulled out the source code."

"I now have a very bold, but I think very credible conjecture. If we do reverse engineering and analyze Ying Long's algorithm, one of us may win the Fields Medal."

Everyone's eyes froze for a moment, and then they turned to Ye Zhou neatly.

At this time, Ye Zhou actually felt a little uneasy.

He knew that Ying Long was very advanced, but he didn't realize that this thing would have such a big impact on the opponent.

Every piece of scientific and technological achievement has countless precious crystallizations from different fields behind it. A knowledgeable person can discover the secrets at a glance. But for Ye Zhou, who has directly instilled knowledge, on the contrary, It feels a little natural.

Just like this thing should be so advanced.

That's why he came to announce this EDA.

The two sides stared at each other for several seconds, and finally Zhang Yue broke the silence.

"Little brother, did you really make this?"
