Future Super Intelligent System

Liu Fan took a rare and leisurely stroll in the mountains, and took out his mobile phone when he was almost in a good mood.

Click on the system APP, and the text will appear immediately:

"mission completed

The task reward "Full Flow Diagram of Chip Manufacturing" has been released, please check it in time.

Task summary: Infinite potential brings infinite possibilities to human beings, and artificial intelligence also brings infinite possibilities to human beings. "

Liu Fan looked at the task summary and pondered it carefully. This seemed to be the first time that the system task summary directly mentioned artificial intelligence. What does this system have to do with artificial intelligence...

All the way back to the hotel, Liu Fan didn't figure out anything. After taking a shower, he turned on his phone to check the task rewards.

Clicking on the "Complete Flowchart of Chip Production", there was still a familiar sense of ritual. After spending several hours flipping through more than a hundred pages of content, Liu Fan couldn't help frowning.

The task reward this time is very similar to the first reward I got "Deep Application of Big Data Processing", both belong to knowledge rewards, but the difference is that "Illustration of the Whole Process of Chip Manufacturing" teaches knowledge through diagrams, relatively It is more straightforward to give a big framework and continue to learn basic mathematics.

But the chip involves too much content, from design to process to materials, etc. Although "The Whole Process of Chip Manufacturing" will teach me this knowledge in a very straightforward way, I still have to do some related work. Learning the basics of learning is like learning the nine-nine multiplication table. You must first recognize the numbers.

In addition to needing to learn by himself, there is another problem with this reward that Liu Fan needs people. Before, the system went directly to the smart factory to build lithography machines, but this time it is no longer possible to make chips, whether it is chip design or In terms of craftsmanship, there must be a team to do this, and if you do it by yourself, you won't be able to make a chip until you die.

Liu Fan stayed in the hotel for another three days, and returned to the company after a simple analysis of the "Full Process Explanation of Chip Manufacturing".

After parking the car and going upstairs, when I saw the company, I felt like a world away.

The training during this period was really hard.

"Mr. Liu!" As soon as they entered the company, the front desk stood up to say hello. Xu Jing, who was busy at the front desk, and the other two employees turned their heads to look at Liu Fan. Everyone's eyes were a little dazed.

At this time, Liu Fan has changed greatly from appearance to temperament, and he is like a different person.

"Where's Sun Xia?" Liu Fan stepped forward and asked with a smile.

The people who were still a little confused didn't respond for a while, but Xu Jing was the first to recover, pointing to the reception room, "I'm waiting inside."

"Okay." Liu Fan nodded and went straight to the reception room, "Brother Sun."

Sun Xia, who was looking at her mobile phone, raised her head, she was also taken aback, and her brows gradually frowned, "Why have you been there for more than two months?"

"Going to school."

"Did you go to Huaguo Mountain to study?"

"..." Liu Fan found a suitable seat and sat down, "Don't talk about that, why are you so anxious to find me?"

"What else can I do?" Sun Xia pretended to be angry, "Didn't you tell me to talk to me about the chip in the golden autumn? It's almost winter, Mr. Liu."

"November hasn't passed yet. Huawei has been so anxious about chips recently, what's going on?"

Sun Xia's face slowly darkened, "According to reliable sources, Intel, Google, and Apple are about to jointly invest in the acquisition of AIBrain."

"AI Brain?" Liu Fan recalled, "The company that makes AI applications for mobile phones and robots is awesome?"

"That's right." Sun Xia paused for two seconds, "Except for the three of them, Samsung vaguely mentioned in an interview recently that the latest AI chip will be released soon."

Liu Fan didn't feel much when he heard Sun Xia say that the three companies acquired AIBrain,

But when they heard Samsung's AI chip, they immediately linked the acquisition, "Are they making big moves on AI chips?"

"It's hard to say, it's just a guess now." Sun Xia frowned even tighter, "You also know that the Cambrian of our National Chinese Academy of Sciences took the lead in deep learning processors when IBM ordered wrong skills. After that, they never let go of this matter.

Over the years, we have always claimed to rely on AI chips to overtake cars in corners, and the media has also promoted it very hotly, but we all understand a truth. In terms of traditional CPUs, GPUs, and DSPs, the gap between us and them lies in that. Over the years, they I have never given up on researching how to efficiently carry deep algorithms on traditional chips.

Once they can make any technological breakthroughs, our AI chips are likely to be overtaken before they have time to overtake. What's more, our own AI chips are also very limited due to the limitations of chip technology and design level. Just like our Kirin chip uses the public version of the ARM architecture, it is always difficult for us to surpass Apple and Samsung.

Let me tell you something that is both funny and unlucky. Google claims to release TPU4.0 next year. "

Liu Fan was taken aback, "TPU4.0? Their TPU3.0 hasn't explained what's going on until now. Is Google playing with the market?"

"Whether he is playing the market or not, this is a signal. We finally achieved some good results in AI chips, and it also gave us a little say in the global chip market. If they really A blow to an absolute advantage will have a huge impact on the development of the entire Huaxia chip, especially for the stimulation of everyone's confidence, which is a terrible thing."

When Sun Xia said this, the two fell into silence at the same time. After a while, Sun Xia said, "Mr. Ren said that the only thing we can do at this time is our own strength. This is why I have been anxious to see you. No matter how smeared by the western media, people in the industry know the level of AI technology of Wood Dragon Technology, so we sincerely ask you to help us optimize the algorithm. We can’t compete with them in the semiconductor industry, so let’s take what we can Compete against them to expand as far as possible!

Mr. Liu, no matter what the reason was, I have been waiting for you for more than two months. Let's talk about this matter today. "

"Don't worry, I won't run away this time. I went out to study during this time, for the development of chips in our country." Liu Fan asked after a reassuring sentence, "The optimized ARM architecture that HiSilicon is currently using Can you show me, can you help me to ask."

"This..." Sun Xia showed a difficult expression, "I really can't answer you about this."

"Then ask first." Liu Fan patted Sun Xia on the shoulder, "Tell the person who has the decision-making power that Wood Dragon Technology has a better chip architecture, and ask him if he is interested."

Sun Xia, who was struggling, was startled suddenly, "Are you serious?"

Liu Fan didn't answer, but smiled meaningfully...
