Rebirth of the Tech Madman

IBM's personal computer standards are so full of holes that the world recognizes that it is not the best, but it has achieved final market success by relying on its monopoly advantage. √∟,

Tang Huan hated this deeply, but it was not driven by the noble sentiment of complaining for the interests of consumers and the whole world, but because it affected the layout he conceived.

For example, in Tang Huan's view, the manufacturing of high-end products such as servers/workstations for enterprise applications should best be similar to the model of the art system - build some parts production in the civilian field, that is, from the personal computer industry where more manufacturers participate Backed by cost advantages.

To achieve this goal, the personal computer standard must have a complete and professional system from the very beginning. It cannot be like the ibm-standard, which waits until a problem is discovered and then applies a patch to deal with it, passively driven by the whip of market demand. Take one step at a time.

The intel8086 branch of the second-generation Fangyuan computer is similar to ibm-. It works in real mode, and the memory access range is only 1mb. However, no matter whether it is hardware or software, it can smoothly transition to the branch only through parameter settings. , direct access to more than 1mb of memory.

But in the ibm-standard here, the motherboard and the hard disk mbr are two obstacles that cannot be avoided.

Because it has traditional businesses such as mainframes, IBM is naturally worried that personal computers are too powerful and will threaten the profits of its high-end products, so various measures are relatively conservative.

And Tang Huan, who also thinks holistically, does not have the burden of similar high-end products, and is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet. This field is exactly what he needs to actively break through.

With such a huge divergence of interests. Tang Huan naturally wanted to knock IBM- into the dust. Arch the Fangyuan computer designed by myself on the throne of personal computer standards.

But this process was full of power and strategy struggles. In the original time and space, Big Blue had to weigh the profits of high-end products, which led to IBM-'s decision-making mistakes, and finally made wedding dresses for compatible manufacturers.

Now Japanese companies are so enthusiastically fighting for authorization around the second-generation Fangyuan computer. If the control is not good, it will end up in a tragic situation where the son rides on the shoulders of the father. Not impossible.

It is necessary to let go, but also not to break away from one's own control. The subtlety of the scale lies in one's heart. Even the reborn who has the advantage of information asymmetry has to rely on his own efforts to figure it out carefully.

During the long-distance voyage from Tokyo, Japan to San Francisco, USA, Tang Huan has been thinking about this issue.

...

After the plane landed,

Tang Huan got into the car directly and rushed to Baozang Hospital.

How are the old people from the mainland? Tang Huan asked worriedly.

Only some of them have completed the operation, and the effect is good. The others are still preparing. Tang Wenhuan handed over a statistical form, which listed the progress of each person's medical treatment.

To avoid trouble. They all used pseudonyms, which made Tang Huan confused.

Everyone is in a good mood. Tang Wenmao added: When you are free, you can walk, chat, play chess, etc. There are quite a lot of activities, and even Mr. Hu from Baodao has become one of them. friend.

Tang Huan frowned when he heard that, the two sides really got together, and they didn't know how they got along.

However, Hu Yinmeng's father was basically a civil servant during the period of the Republic of China. Logically speaking, there should not be too many conflicts.

Tang Huan's idea was almost overturned when he walked across a lawn of the hospital.

Father Hu was pointing at the chessboard across the stone table, arguing with the blushing old man opposite him. It seemed that the sequelae of the stroke were not so obvious.

They were really a pair of old children. Tang Huan walked over speechlessly, coughed lightly, and sat down.

Seeing Tang Huan, Father Hu's eyes lit up, and even his voice became clearer, Don't think I'm afraid because you have a lot of people. The entire site, including this hospital, belongs to my son-in-law.

Tang Huan heard a black line on his forehead, and thought to himself, for a game of chess, why are you so up to date?

Fortunately, the aunt Hu's father found after his divorce rushed over and persuaded him to leave.

...

Da Tang, old man Hu just said that you are his son-in-law, is that really the case?

Well, we are still dating...the relationship is not clear yet...

Okay, don't hide it, I understand. Let me tell you, why is this guy so confident, and he has a big backer for his relationship.

How do you feel now?

Yes, the surgery date has been set.

That's good. My father-in-law, you just give way. He just had a stroke a few days ago.

Da Tang, you young people don't understand the living habits of us old men. You have been fighting all your life. When your old father-in-law first came to the hospital, he couldn't speak well, but look at him just now, like he had a stroke. Has anyone ever been?

Okay, it's healthier to be arguing, maybe you can make friends without acquaintances.

You're right, we have a good relationship now.

...

As soon as Tang Huan got off the plane, he came to the hospital to visit everyone. This gesture of respect for the elderly made these elderly people and their accompanying family members very grateful.

In fact, Tang Huan, in addition to attaching importance to this relationship, also because the next period of time will be very busy, so he had to come over early to meet up, so as not to be rude and embarrass his little uncle on the mainland.

After greeting each other one by one, Tang Huan was ready to receive his master's degree certificate.

In order to be able to graduate as a postgraduate student, Tang Huan, who was unable to follow the regular course schedule, made great efforts to make up for it in other ways. For example, in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, ieee, he raised his grade to the fourth level .

In 1963, ieee was formed by merging ire, the Institute of Radio Engineers, founded in 1912, and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, founded in 1884, with its headquarters in New York. It is one of the largest professional technical organizations in the world. It has great influence on the standards defined in the industry.

Famous chairmen in the history of ieee include Alexander Bell, the inventor of the telephone, Frederick Emmonsterman, the father of Silicon Valley, and William Hewlett, the founder of Hewlett-Packard.

Of course. The status of IEEE can only be understood by insiders. In terms of popularity, it may not be as good as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Academy Awards.

There are five levels of ieee membership: aatemember—ordinary member, studentmember—student member, member—professional member,—senior member,—fellowship.

Tang Huan has now reached the level of a senior member by virtue of his achievements in technical papers on floating-point algorithm specifications, local area networks, etc.

In addition, Tang Huan vigorously subsidized the construction of the university's bbs, pouring water whenever he had the opportunity, so that his id became synonymous with technical experts in the west coast university circle.

Tang Huan also cooperated with his teacher Cai Shaotang, and carried out quite successful research on Cai's circuit and memristor.

The former is a simple nonlinear electronic circuit design that can exhibit standard chaos-theoretic behavior.

Due to the ease with which this circuit can be made. Making it a ubiquitous real-world example of chaotic systems, the speed and breadth of its spread has even led some to hail it as a paradigm of chaotic systems.

In the original time and space, Cai's circuit was published by Cai Shaotang when he was a visiting scholar at Waseda University in Japan in 1983. Now it came out ahead of schedule, which brought Cai Shaotang a higher academic reputation.

Compared with the simplicity and practicality of Chua's circuit, complex memristors are currently only suitable for theoretical and laboratory research.

As early as 1971, Cai Shaotang, who was already working at the University of California, Berkeley, was based on the theory of electronics. It is predicted that in addition to resistors, capacitors, and inductance elements, there is a fourth basic element of the circuit-memristor

as a passive electronic component. Memristors are similar to resistors in that they create and maintain a safe current flow through a device, but unlike resistors, memristors can remember the amount of charge that passed through them when the power is turned off.

Two sets of memristors can perform the same functions as transistors, but in a smaller size, so its significance to the computer industry is self-evident.

In the original time and space, hp developed a new generation of non-volatile memory products, variable resistance memory or rram, which is considered to be a form of memristor.

In other words, memristors are too advanced, and now—electrically erasable programmable read-only memory is in the ascendant, and the flash memory used in U disks has not yet come out, and the next-generation rram is naturally a spectacle.

Tang Huan's research on memristors is only for the master's degree course, and the goal has been achieved, so naturally he is unwilling to continue to spend energy on it.

Cai Shaotang didn't ask too much about this. The student he brought, whether it was academic attainments or commercial achievements, left him speechless.

Teacher, it's a waste of talent for you to stay at the University of California, Berkeley. Why don't you go out and share your research results. After getting his master's certificate, Tang Huan ran to Cai Shaotang to encourage him.

I do have plans to serve as a visiting professor, and Japan is also in contact. Apparently Cai Shaotang has already made plans.

Teacher, with my student here, you are looking far away. Tang Huan smiled slightly, I will have a trip to mainland China in the near future, and one of my plans is to cooperate with local universities. There is a thirst for talents there. , if the teacher goes there, he will definitely get more research and development resources.

Go to China! Cai Shaotang's eyes lit up, and his heart was already moved.

Then it's settled, teacher, wait for my reply. Tang Huan struck while the iron was hot, and locked the other party in.

I see you are in a hurry. Cai Shaotang shook his head with a smile, then changed the subject and asked, After finishing my master's degree, do you plan to continue your studies and pursue a doctoral degree?

I don't want to work so hard anymore. I only got this master's degree at the request of my aunt. Tang Huan expressed his opinion bluntly.

Many of your subordinates are Ph.D. students from famous universities. If we stop now, will there be no pressure? Cai Shaotang joked.

I'm their boss, so I can barely make an exception. Tang Huan laughed loudly, determined not to go to school anymore.

...

After Tang Huan returned to Zheru headquarters in Cupertino, the first subordinate he recruited was Owen Rappaport, a lawyer in charge of copyright.

This loyal dog of Apple in time and space is now also showing great professional ethics in Zheru, and naturally won Tang Huan's respect.

Recently, ibm has been in frequent contact with us for the copyright of Hanka Chinese technology, and the lawsuit initiated by its personal computer department, ibm- and the second-generation Fangyuan computer, has stopped. Owen Rabaport introduced the recent situation, At the same time, he handed the drafted main legal model to Tang Huan.

Thanks to the powerful typesetting function of his own word processing software, Tang Huan can easily see the important clauses marked above, but the interlocking legal logic still makes him feel dizzy.

However, this kind of document should have been brainstormed and worked together. Tang Huan couldn't make a decision with one word, and let it go if he couldn't stand it.

In addition to the Chinese technology copyright of Hanka, there is also the copyright of the second-generation Fangyuan computer. The Japanese company is very interested, but I only plan to release the intel8086 branch, but this technology is a whole. To take advantage of the loopholes, it is up to you to design the defensive fortress. Tang Huan entrusted Owen Rabaport with a heavy responsibility.

Boss, don't worry, no one can take advantage of us for nothing. Owen Rappaport's tone can be described as high-spirited.

You have to attend the recent high-level meetings, and you must understand the huge commercial interests involved. Tang Huan stood up and signaled the other party to go to the meeting with him, which invisibly elevated Owen Rabbporte's status .

...

With the gradual adjustment of the factory, the cost of ibm- has been optimized, and the output has also increased significantly. The memory capacity of its baseline model has been increased from b, which has no practical significance, to 32kb, while the price has been slightly lowered.

Simeone unceremoniously sarcastically said: IBM is not suddenly showing kindness to users, it is just because one of the so-called troikas on the ibm-platform, the spreadsheet, if all functions are to be run, the memory capacity of 32kb is a must. Benchmark.” (To be continued..)

ps: Thank you for the blessings of the book friends, I am very touched, and I also wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival and a happy small holiday. u
