Super Scholar: Start with a low regulatory score!

Chapter 590 Integrate external forces into one body, is there any exchange?
There are three main problems.

One is that the technical threshold is too high.

As a software cluster composed of "multi-tools", even though my country has achieved breakthroughs in some tools, it still needs more technology accumulation in a complete and usable full-process tool chain, which cannot be completed in a short period of time. .

Followed by a high degree of technology integration.

EDA is the result of long-term cooperation between chip design companies, fabs, and EDA software vendors. It requires a lot of mathematical optimization and experience accumulation, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

The third is the talent threshold.

In terms of EDA software R&D talents, there are not many colleges and universities with EDA majors in China.

Moreover, the Internet and the financial industry have attracted a large number of software development talents, resulting in a serious shortage of EDA software developers.

It is no exaggeration to say that...

Domestic integrated design capabilities on the advanced EDA process are significantly behind foreign countries by 2-3 generations.

so……

Everyone, don't be fooled by those novels.

Especially those black technology novels.

Chips are always made inside, and new chips can be easily manufactured as soon as the design drawings are drawn.

And it is often a 3nm chip, and even a batch of 2nm and 1nm, bullfrogs.

Ha ha!

A novel is a novel after all.

It's not good looking at all, if not exaggerating.

But the reality is the reality. We must understand that making chips in reality is really difficult and difficult.

With all the efforts of the whole country, Dongyun can only produce 14nm chips at present, and the mature technology is only 28nm. It can't even enter 10nm in a short time. I don't know how long it will take to reach the second level of 10nm and 7nm. As for the first Level 5nm and 3nm, there is still a long way to go.

Even with the existence of Jiangnan's plug-in, it helped to solve the material barrier of perfect graphene, and reduced the demand for high-end lithography machines. As long as ordinary lithography machines are used, it greatly shortens the time for Dongyun to independently manufacture high-performance chips. .

It even solved the first technical difficulty of making electronic components with perfect graphene.

But there are still tens of hundreds of small difficulties behind.

Especially if the high-performance EDA software can't handle it, then even if all these small difficulties are overcome, it will not be possible to design a high-performance carbon-based chip by then.

Ah!
Even if it can be designed.

That performance will be greatly reduced.

Do it theoretically.

The performance of carbon-based chips is thousands of times stronger than that of silicon-based chips, but if they can't keep up here and there, especially if the EDA software can't keep up, the final chips will be able to keep up with the current international chips. Even, or even insufficient.

The current chip market is monopolized by foreign countries, and a very mature chip environment has already been formed.

Even if the performance is the same, domestic chips can only be barely self-sufficient, and have no advantage to seize the market.

If the performance is insufficient, it is tantamount to creating a loneliness.

(ω)hia!

……

Ning An, Lin Ye.

They are all top geniuses in the Institute of Computer Science, Cloud Academy of Sciences, all around 30 years old. They majored in software engineering at university, and semiconductor and microelectronics at postgraduate level. They combined the two fields into one during their Ph.D.

Don't wonder why they should.

Because only in this way can one be qualified and able to become a legendary EDA software developer.

That's right.

EDA software development is a legendary profession, and it is considered a god-like boss in the computer field.

If they are written into novels, then they are definitely pig-footed tasks, belonging to high-IQ scientific and technological talents.

But at the moment.

The two were very worried.

The black hair on the top of his head had long since fallen out, leaving only a sparse patch of malnourished yellow hair.

Can understand.

After all, it takes a lot of brain power to work on computers, and there are more bald people, and even a lot of bald heads.

What's more, he is a big guy in the computer industry, a great developer of EDA who is also the leader in two major fields.

Even though they are only 30 years old and in their prime of life, their hair does not fall out, which is the result of daily care.

Speaking of developing EDA software, outsiders are full of confidence, isn't it just designing a software?But people in the industry will frown and say "EDA software is a hard industry".

EDA software development is different from ordinary software development.

EDA software research and development is not only difficult, but also requires continuous update and development, and continuous research and development investment. It is a continuous "highly brain-burning" industry, far exceeding ordinary software research and development.

It is worth mentioning that.

After the research and development of ordinary software is completed, a large number of sales can basically be carried out.

Even if a bug is found in the future, you only need to apply a patch or update the version.

But EDA software cannot have bugs first, and with the progress (or certain changes) of semiconductor technology.

EDA software has to be upgraded (or a new version) with development, and its sales are very limited.

we can even say.

There are basically no sales.

After all, the EDA software developed by myself is far from reaching the level of foreign countries, and the only market can't be grabbed by others.

If it weren't for the financial support of the research institute, the Cloud Academy of Sciences, and the backing of the country, they would have been unable to survive.

But now...

In order to cooperate with the research and development of carbon-based chips.

Zhou Qingshan actually wants them to optimize, optimize, and optimize the existing EDA software, striving to reach the international standard, this is no less than Yugong Yishan.

It's not that they insist on growing other people's ambitions and destroying their own prestige, but the reality is like this.

The current state-owned EDA software is 2-3 generations behind foreign countries, and it will not be able to catch up in a short time.

Production of carbon-based chips.

After the raw materials and lithography machines, as well as the manufacturing of transistors and logic gates, have been solved.

Although there are many other problems and they are very difficult, as long as you invest enough, you can still solve them.

Only the EDA software has little to do with the investment, it must have the most advanced technology.

this……

The two of them are incomprehensible!
Not only the two of them, but Wang Jingze, the person in charge of the computer institute, also had a sad face at the moment, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his body, and he even bent his waist in an instant.

"That...Dean Zhou..."

"Speaking of which, I'm not trying to wave cold water, nor do I want to put down the pick, but I want to upgrade and optimize the EDA software to the international level in a short period of time. This is really too difficult."

"Even though the two researchers Ning An and Lin Ye in my computer institute are both senior engineers of the EDA software department, and there are many senior researchers in the institute who are well versed in this field."

"But relying on the strength of the institute alone, it is really impossible to develop super-class EDA software, so..."

Wang Jingze said with a worried face.

but……

Before he could finish speaking.

Zhou Qingshan, the dean of the Academy of Cloud Sciences and the leader of the special team, interrupted in a deep voice: "Old Wang! I know that optimizing EDA software is very difficult, but this is an essential part of chip development. No matter what, you have to conquer it for me."

Wang Jingze: "But..."

Zhou Qingshan: "There's nothing wrong with it. This is a task, and it's an order. Everyone has difficulties and must overcome them. You can't just give up if you have difficulties, right?"

Wang Jingze: "Dean, I didn't mean to give up, but what I mean is that the strength in the institute is not enough. If you want to upgrade the EDA software in the shortest possible time, you must find someone from outside, and even unite all possible unions. strength."

"For example, invite people from domestic EDA software manufacturers, such as Jiutian, Liguangwei, Lungai Electronics, and Hexin Technology."

"Only by inviting the top EDA software engineers from these companies, uniting all forces together, uniting as one, and communicating with each other, can there be a glimmer of hope!"

"..."

Zhou Qingshan: "..."

Well, Wei Wei is a little nerve-wracking.

Although what Wang Jingze said makes sense.

With the existing strength of the research institute alone, it is very difficult to upgrade the EDA software, so it is best to hire someone.

But how could it be so easy to invite people?
Please be kind to Jiutian, after all, it is a state-owned enterprise, but the others are all private enterprises. Although the Cloud Academy of Sciences is affiliated with the state, it can't forcefully snatch people from other companies, can it?

As for whether there is interoperability, it is even more difficult.

After all, each company's technology has its own patents, and no one stipulates that it must be contributed to the country.
