Tech Hammer

how to say……

The declaration that I would rather celebrate the New Year without causing trouble has definitely caused trouble for many people. The connotation is too obvious...

Many people want to pull Ning Wei's ears and ask, what is "information that has not been verified with one's own eyes and the truth or falsehood needs to be judged by oneself"?

Who are you playing? !

That’s it. You post this news on Xingyu Weibo. If there is follow-up news, you post it on Penguin Weibo?

what?

Is it really true that you can only see unconfirmed news on Xingyu Weibo? After confirmation, you have to post it on Penguin Weibo?

Academician Ning really wants to push his students to the end!

Anyway, whatever your Ningshe does is right!

Of course, the most important thing is, what is the current situation of Ningxin No. 1?

Is this accomplished or not?

It's not April Fool's Day, but Ningwei's Weibo post has the flavor of April Fool's Day, which makes me very anxious.

You must know that from the moment Ningxin established the project, Ningwei had already started to promote it on Weibo. Subsequently, Huawei established the Ningsi Laboratory with great fanfare, telling the public that it would start making independent desktop-level CPUs without hesitation. It has been three years now. In the past, I couldn’t even turn in the answer sheet clearly...

What's even more annoying is that many people who care about Ning Xin have uninstalled Weibo for Ningshe's software. After seeing the screenshot of this Weibo through other channels, or after the message, in order to be able to leave comments on this Weibo I left a footprint, asked a question, and had to download the APP...

He also said that he would not cause any trouble, but this is clearly causing trouble to the people of the whole country. After all, such big news leaves people to imagine whether it is true or false, which is really confusing.

As a result, many official media did not know whether to forward this news.

Of course, many people don't even know how many phone calls kept ringing behind the scenes because of this Weibo, and countless people began to inquire about the authenticity of this matter through various channels. After all, on New Year's Eve, if this news is true, it would be very exciting.

It would be an understatement to call it breaking news. . .

God knows what China has experienced because of the shortcomings of chips. At the darkest moment, it is obviously our own company, but because it does not have technical autonomy, it has to be controlled by other people. What is even more annoying is that it has to pay high wages to these people, otherwise it will be due to technical reasons. Direct bankruptcy.

Now if China has really mastered the technology of desktop CPU, and it is purely independent property rights, and the performance of Hongmeng system in recent years is not too bad, it has initially established an ecosystem. In other words, if Ningxin No. 1’s products are not bad and the price is acceptable, it means that this CPU at least has certain market potential in China.

As Ning Wei said on Weibo, there are Kunpeng series motherboards and Hongmeng systems, and most of them have achieved independent production. Let’s not talk about product performance and quality, at least now China has it! This also means that the long-term monopoly has finally been broken...

Fortunately, except for Ning Wei, most of the other people involved in the project have a general understanding.

Ten minutes later, the official account of Ningsi Lab, which had undergone real-name authentication, posted the first message after the birth of the new account on Penguin Weibo.

"The following news is not only seen with our own eyes, but also personally participated by us, so we can ensure the authenticity, and we welcome supervision to find fault: Ningxin No. 1 is really here! On the evening of January 22, it was confirmed that the tape-out was successful; on January 23 , got the packaged chip from Huaxin Precision Jiangcheng Base; on January 24, Ningxin and Kunpeng were successfully connected, and the serial port adjustment was completed on the same day; one hour ago, Hongmeng was officially launched. All Ningsi people give all the people who care about the Chinese chip industry Netizens, wish me a happy New Year! And sincerely say thank you to everyone! Thank you also @Ning for your hard work in the past three years!"

This time it’s more than just a Weibo post.

Ningsi Lab also directly exposed nine pictures, recording the entire process from getting the chip to starting Hongmeng...

The last picture is obviously carefully selected, and it is fixed at the moment when the Hongmeng system is started.

This time it was probably a stone hammer, and the comment area suddenly became lively.

Of course, for Penguin Weibo, this Weibo can be regarded as the biggest benefit in the Year of the Monkey. God knows how many people downloaded Penguin Weibo specifically for this news to comment, like, and forward.

At the same time, less than two minutes after the news was released on the official Weibo account of Ningsi Lab, all major official media began to repost this Weibo post.

It's just that this time, everyone didn't rush to say anything conclusively. Instead, they began to collect information from all parties. For example, as the tape-out contractor, Huaxin Precision executives interviewed well-known figures in the chip industry to understand the difficulty and difficulty of Ningxin's design. Process difficulty...

But there is no doubt that on this New Year’s Eve, Ningxin No. 1 is still popular, and it is extremely popular.

Countless people began to ask about the specific parameters and usage effects of Ning Xin No. 1. Various information was constantly exposed on various electronics enthusiast forums. Ning Wei and his students were once again at the forefront of the limelight.

Ning Wei's name once again dominates all major hot searches. Fortunately, Ningsi Labs is taking part in the research this time. Of course, Ning Xin No. 1 is still the well-deserved protagonist. Even at night, the powerful central media brought out Zhou Zhenghao, one of Ning Wei's students who participated in almost the entire design of Ning Xin No. 1. Although he had already returned home, he still spared half an hour. Accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Central Media and released it directly through the major online channels of the Central Media.

Question: "Dr. Zhou, hello, we took a look at the top-ranked questions from netizens and hope you can tell us in detail what details are behind the Ningxin One project that everyone doesn't know."

Answer: "Oh, this... there are too many details behind it. Because our design is different from previous work. For example, we all know that chip design generally requires the use of foreign EDA software. No matter Whether it's Synopsys, Cadence or Mentor, their software has many advantages, such as the entire process, more advanced technology, and more technical support. But the design of Ningxin One is almost 100% minimalist by us. In the design completed by EDA, only a very small part of the border circuit layout uses Cadence's ready-made design modules, mainly to gain progress."

"So I think everyone should not just focus on us doing chip design. In fact, the teachers in Jiangcheng University's software laboratory and many colleagues in our minimalist EDA department have also been working hard during this period in order not to hold back the entire chip project. We have been working overtime to make progress. It can be said that our entire Ningxin design process is actually combined with our basic software advancement process."

Question: "This sounds very hard! Thank you Dr. Zhou for sharing, letting us know that there is an upstream software company behind the scenes that has been silently supporting Ningsi Lab. Currently, the second-ranked question among netizens is , it has never been revealed to the outside world who the chief scientist of Ningsi Laboratory is, so everyone wants to ask, was Ningxin-1 actually designed by your mentor, Academician Ning?"

Answer: "Haha, does this need to be said? Otherwise, why would it be called Ningxin No. 1. But when it comes to this issue, there is actually another detail that you may not know. At the beginning, Huawei and Jitu Group decided to make a desktop-level CPU At that time, we actually consulted our director Ning for his opinions, mainly about the issue of instruction sets. At that time, there were two opinions. One was to buy other people's instruction sets, such as Intel's X86, modify them and continue to use them, and the other was to make them ourselves. .”

"At that time, our Director Ning directly made the decision. Since we decided to do it, of course it must be controllable and autonomous, so Director Ning personally went to work and overcame various difficulties with the laboratory staff, and it took about three months to make the CNMD order. Collecting. Looking at the world, this speed is also super fast. Of course, this is not a complete compliment to our Ningdao. Our artificial intelligence platform also made many contributions in March."

Question: "So Academician Ning is the well-deserved chief designer of Ningxin?"

After hearing this question, Zhou Zhenghao smiled and replied: "This is inevitable. This is also the reason why Ningsi Laboratory does not have a chief scientist or chief designer. We, Director Ning, don't like these false positions. Anyway, we are all working together Work. In the words of our Director Ning, Ningxin No. 1 is the result of the joint efforts of 12,000 engineers in Ningsi Lab. As for whether there is a chief designer or not, it is not important. Whether Ningxin No. 1 can be made is the most important thing. of."

Question: "Many netizens are also very interested in the various parameters of Ningxin No. 1. Can you take this opportunity to tell everyone?"

Answer: "Because Ningxin One is still in the testing stage, I can't announce the specific parameters directly. But please rest assured, although Ningxin One uses a 60nm manufacturing process, the performance has been simulated and tested, and it should not be It’s worse than Intel 12th generation. Hehe, it doesn’t sound very modest to say that. Director Ning might be unhappy after hearing this, so help me delete this paragraph. Let’s put it this way, each one should have its own advantages and disadvantages!”

Question: "Haha, Dr. Zhou, don't worry. By the way, is there anything else you want to say to the netizens who care about Ningxin No. 1?"

Answer: "Don't just focus on Ningxin One. We have done a lot of work in the past three years. Rather than promoting Ningxin One, we want to give you a brand new desktop solution. Ningxin One Of course, the number is very important, but no matter how important it is, it is only one part of it. It is not convenient for me to say too much here, but I think when this solution is officially released in March, it will definitely give everyone a surprise."

"So don't worry, please give us a little more time. There is still a lot of work to be done, including the coordination of the overall solution, various systematic debugging, and various supporting software. For example, everyone is paying attention to Ningxin On the 1st, I may have forgotten the research of my senior brother Zhang Dingxi, and my junior sister Li Jingwen has been modifying and debugging the new Hongmeng system in the system laboratory, all of which serve Ningxin No. 1."

"I believe that when this overall solution is officially announced, everyone will understand why our Director Ning suddenly stepped forward to serve as a judge for the March Award and allowed Brother Zhang to win this year's March Award. To put it bluntly, now we are just in a state of Due to the need to keep technology confidential, we have not announced many results to the public, which has led to the whole world underestimating the achievements of Senior Brother Zhang in the past three years..."

…

After this interview video was posted on the Internet, it went viral on New Year’s Eve.

I thought that the smooth tape-out of Ning Xin No. 1 was already a success in the Year of the Monkey, but who would have thought that from Zhou Zhenghao’s mouth, Ning Wei’s eyes were not just focused on Ning Xin No. 1, but also wanted to A big surprise for everyone after the new year.

A set of overall solutions surrounding Ningxin One obviously brings much greater expectations to all electronic enthusiasts than Ningxin One itself.

This is enough to show that Ning Wei is ambitious.

It’s not that making a CPU is enough, but that we really want to participate in market competition and compete with Intel, AMD and Microsoft platforms. And according to Zhou Zhenghao, there is a high probability that they will take the route of differentiated competition this time. In other words, there must be some great differences or improvements from the desktop operating systems that everyone is accustomed to now.

Otherwise, why would Zhou Zhenghao have the courage to tell central media reporters in front of the camera that the whole world has underestimated Zhang Dingxi’s research results?

As a result, the paper published by Zhang Dingxi was downloaded and studied by more people, hoping to find breakthrough innovations in this overall plan. Many popular science video bloggers also began to get busy, and they wanted to help the public on this New Year’s Eve. Guess what areas Zhang Dingxi’s innovations mainly focus on...

After studying Zhang Dingxi's paper, the three-dimensional display has become the focus of everyone's discussion.

After all, most of the papers published by Zhang Dingxi focus on three-dimensional imaging of light, but what results have been achieved is still very confusing.

As the ultimate dream of display technology development recognized by the industry, stereoscopic displays still have many technical constraints. As far as current development is concerned, 3D displays already have some application scenarios. For example, the screens used in some large shopping malls use stereoscopic vision technology to create the illusion that the scene in the video breaks through the two-dimensional shackles.

But there’s actually not much to marvel about in this technology. After all, everyone is used to watching 3D movies in theaters. It’s just an extra pair of glasses. I just don’t know how big a surprise Zhang Dingxi can bring.

But there is one thing worth mentioning.

On this New Year's Eve, no matter how many media outlets were dissatisfied with Ning She's previous behavior, or even extended their dissatisfaction with Ning Wei, they did not dare to say anything more at this time. Even Xingyu Weibo didn't dare to say a word about Ning Wei's teasing behavior on New Year's Eve.

After all, he is the de facto chief designer of Ningxin No. 1, allowing China to once again achieve a breakthrough from zero to one in the chip field.

This also means that any provocation against Ning Wei at this time may be thrown into the street or the street...

It is safest to follow the mainstream approach, such as shouting along with the official media, it is better to be awesome!

If we must keep the world awake in this crazy moment, the most we can say is, don’t rush to be happy, wait until Ningxin No. 1 is officially announced, and the performance, use effects and price are confirmed. After that, it’s never too late to praise...

…

For Ning Wei, these are just clouds.

He has long been used to the turmoil on the Internet, and it has calmed down.

Anyway, when I think you are good, I can praise you to the sky, but when I want to scold you, I won't listen to your excuses at all.

The key is that when everyone praises you, apart from satisfying your vanity, there is really no other benefit. As for being scolded, the loss suffered is real. For example, the first planned perfect date in his life ended in failure because he was scolded by people on the Internet.

This is how Furui Fubo’s mentality was tempered.

Of course, Ning Wei had to say something about his students' flattering behavior when being interviewed by the central media.

For example, I couldn't stand the commotion of a bunch of kids in the group, so I was forced to send out ten big red envelopes in a row, and threw two W's...

This red envelope is almost enough to give Keke a new toy.

As for the rest of the time, Ning Wei really put everything aside and spent the new year peacefully in the name of finally bearing fruit after three years of hard work.

This year, the family is as lively as ever.

There are constant guests every day. Fortunately, Ning’s father, Ning’s mother, and Jiang’s mother are already used to the house being full of guests.

Since the third year of junior high school, Ning Wei and classmate Jiang have been going out to pay New Year greetings. None of the relatives at home are in the capital, so the New Year greetings are mostly teachers.

In the three years since he was elected as an academician, Ning Wei is no longer the young boy who was blind to Chinese scientists. He has become familiar with the leaders and seniors in various industries, and the person to whom he wants to pay New Year's greetings has naturally been decided early.

Many big guys in the capital actually live not far away. Anyway, they would rather live there than just have a living. They sit in every house and make these big guys who pay attention to them happy. They thank everyone for their support and care over the years, and then leave and go away. , you can always visit several in a day.

But even so, it took Ning Wei about three days to visit all the industry leaders on the list that he must visit. There is no way, who makes him a junior?

Of course, the harvest is also full.

For example, Xiao Ning was unable to hold the red envelope she received...

The last stop is Tian Dao's house, where you can stay and have a meal with peace of mind.

After dinner, classmate Jiang and his wife were teasing little Ning Ke in the living room, while Ning Wei was called into the study by Tian Yanzhen.

"Okay, you are now the most popular Chinese scientist. I don't even dare to lecture you. What are your plans for next year? Now that Ningxin No. 1 has been completed, tell me what your plans are for next year."

"I really have a plan. Well, Director Tian, ​​are you familiar with Academician Pan? Can you recommend him to me? I am very interested in the recent results of their team and would like to know more detailed experimental contents. Can you help me? Can I arrange it?"

"Pan Wenxiu? Last time you said you wanted to study a topic strongly related to quantum mechanics, were you serious?" Tian Yanzhen glanced at Ning Wei and asked.

"Hey, Director Tian, ​​you are indeed very serious."

"Alas..." Tian Yanzhen sighed.

Originally, he wanted to persuade Ning Wei to return to the field of mathematics. After all, there were still many topics that needed to be studied, but seeing Ning Wei's expression, he knew that it was useless to say anything. After all, there are many mathematicians who are interested in physics, such as the famous Heisenberg. Many people know this scientist because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle...

But in fact, Heisenberg's mathematical achievements are no lower than his achievements in quantum mechanics. Who can explain this?
