Chapter 730 Roll up your sleeves

Su Yuanshan glanced at Yin Zilin sitting next to Gao Xiaodi.

Yin Zilin is in his early thirties this year. If we talk about relationships, he still has a lot of relationships with Su Yuanshan - he is a master's and doctoral student at Stanford, and is also a senior brother of Dr. Tang Wenjie's supervisor. He was a tutor at T-U University in 1988 and planned to return to China after graduating from a master's degree in two years. As a result... After that happened... he simply stayed to study for a doctorate, and then joined Cyrix in 1994.

After nearly three years of working in Cyrix, due to the ever-changing changes in the country and the relationship between Tang Wenjie... Yin Zilin chose to return to China after thinking for a long time.

He had been in charge of the processor bus protocol at cyrix before. Not long after he came back, Yuanxin started the dual-core project, so he naturally served as the actual person in charge of the inter-core communication protocol/architecture in the multi-core architecture.

Seeing Su Yuanshan looking at him, Yin Zilin smiled helplessly: "Mr. Shan, this job is indeed a bit difficult. I talked to Wenjie, and Cyrix actually had the idea of ​​multi-core at the beginning, but in the end it was found that it was very difficult to achieve inter-core communication."

"Um."

Su Yuanshan nodded quietly, looked at Gao Xiaodi quietly for several seconds before repeatedly asking: "What about other technologies except inter-nuclear communication?"

"..." Gao Xiaodi was a little furious when he was staring at Su Yuanshan. After shyness, he spread his hands and said, "I have been playing with chips for more than ten years."

"That's good." Su Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

The turnaround of Yuanxin processors is never in the instruction set, not in the process, nor in the single-core capabilities. Even Su Yuanshan, he knew that he could not shake the status of Intel and Amd's two old chip factories in single-core capabilities, especially in the next few years, Thunderbird, Tuladin, Beimu, Patton... If Yuanxin had to bite the bullet and compete with AI bosses for single-core capabilities... It was a bit too much to say that it was full of teeth, but at least it would be very uncomfortable.

If Yuanxin wants to turn the tables, it can only lock in the x64 and multi-core architectures in advance.

Fortunately, no one in this world knows better than him what aspects should multi-core development and what technology should be adopted - noble, Intel, and because of its dual-core release with Amd, it has created a high-end operation that packages two single-core chips together, known as "glue dual-core".

In a multi-core architecture, inter-core communication is the foundation and the most important technology, and the basis of inter-core communication is the communication bus protocol.

...

"In this way, Senior Brother Yin, let's refer to it together. After all, I also participated in the design of the multi-core architecture." Su Yuanshan looked at Yin Zilin with a smile: "Sometimes, multiple people, and more ideas may be done."

"That would be great."

Yin Zilin's words are sincere.

Before joining Cyrix, he heard Tang Wenjie's yelling that he had a "genius junior brother" and his ears were already sounding calluses. To be honest, at that time, he had no idea about Su Yuanshan - he knew too well that the three of them became tigers.

But as he entered cyrix and caught up with the tail of Yuanxin's cooperation with cyrix, more and more stories and magic about Su Yuanshan were told to him as legends by countless people... He realized that he was afraid that Su Yuanshan was really the kind of person who was famous.

To be honest, seeing what the legendary mountain always looks like is also one of the motivations for him and many semiconductor returnees who joined Yuanxin to come back.

And after coming back... there is no need to say it.

Therefore, Yin Zilin was really happy to be able to join Su Yuanshan's team. Compared to his illusory credit, he cared more about when the currently helpless bus protocol could be settled. In fact, just half a year ago, Gao Xiaodi had already started to lead people to cooperate with his team.

"Well, if you take this stall over, I'm still staring at the same place." Gao Xiaodi was obviously relieved, but still smiled a little reluctantly: "This month, Cia is like crazy, with new architectures coming one after another... I'm really afraid of them."

Just in February 1999, Amd took the lead in attacking and announced the K6-3 series processors before several peers. Following closely behind, the highly anticipated Pentium 3 made a brilliant debut. Not a week later, Cyrix also launched the "upgraded" version of the Odin core, the Odin core C3 processor.

The launch of these three new processors is dazzling and dazzling. It is unknown who will win, but Yuanxin is a bit of a disaster when the three gods fight...

This month, Yuanxin has almost zero topics.

This also indirectly shows how big the gap is between domestic and foreign peers in the field of traditional x86 architecture desktop processors.

Gao Xiaodi is sure that if it weren't for the big tree of Yuanxin that could have lost money by relying on his back, it would be an unknown whether his department could hold on to it. The best outcome might be to retain the R&D team, and at the same time, it was dominated by the state, becoming the "light of domestic products".

"What are we afraid of? We will just go as we go." Su Yuanshan smiled and looked at everyone: "Don't panic, as long as we firmly believe that the path we are walking is right, the difficulties in the middle are nothing more than whether we can get through it - believe me, as long as Yuanxin is there, we will definitely get through it, and we will be proud and laugh to the last day."

Su Yuanshan's words made everyone laugh and nodded.

In fact, when he learned that Su Yuanshan was coming to take charge of the processor department himself, the morale of the entire design department was boosted.

As everyone knows, Mr. Shan is a real processor design genius.

To say that he is a genius does not mean that he can beat the number of people alone and determine the number of teams. It is that his strong technical intuition and keenness can prevent the design team from falling into those meaningless pits.

"Okay, then that's it." Su Yuanshan glanced at his watch: "Prepare to get off work. In the afternoon, you can accompany me to walk the team. After the night, we will hold a meeting of the person in charge. Tomorrow will officially begin - you should know that the Science and Technology Commission is launching a rectification campaign, right?"

Hearing the Science and Technology Committee, Gao Xiaodi's eyes darkened a little, and he snorted softly: "Does our department still need to do it? Li Mingliu is like Zhou Bapi who crowed in the middle of the night. She comes and walks around if she has nothing to do. Who can be lazy?"

"Required." Su Yuanshan naturally wanted to establish authority for Li Yinan who was not present, but he also had to take care of the emotions of the people in front of him. He smiled and said, "At least, a string in our mind must be tense."

Gao Xiaodi opened his mouth and finally sighed: "You are here, our string is obviously tight."

After his words fell, the rest of the people present smiled and said nothing.

It is naturally exciting when Mr. Shan came over. But Mr. Shan has come over, so it is naturally... The development of the processor department in the past two years is indeed unsatisfactory, and he needs to take charge of himself.

Seeing this, Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Okay, eat! Then roll up your sleeves and do it!"
