Jiangda, School of Economics and Management, female bedroom.

Several girls were surrounding Yang Xiaohui, watching the problem-solving steps sent by Ning Wei.

After a while, Xu Mo sighed: "The God of Learning is indeed the God of Learning. He doesn't look like a dewy person. He is really a professional when doing math problems. Unlike Xu Ruixuan's stupid winter melon, bragging is the most professional!"

"Sister Mo, it's wrong for you to say that. My boyfriend doesn't have to be good at math. Although Mr. Xuan is not very smart in his answers to the questions, he knows romance! The flowers he gives you are beautiful, and you can also have some small surprises from time to time. Luo Xiang is different. Not only can he not study, but he is also a elm-hearted person!" Lu Jiajia curled her lips and said.

"Okay, please say less. Luo Xiang is not good to you. Isn't it good to coax you to be happy every day?"

"He's just a chatterbox, okay?" Lu Jiajia argued.

But speaking of this, the two of them are indeed quite suitable. They are both cheerful in their personalities. When they are together, they always have endless things to say, and they are never afraid of being in a bad situation.

"Hey, Xiaohui, what is the situation between you and Ning Wei? I think, people like Ning Wei must be focused on academics. If he is not proactive enough, you can take the initiative!" Xu Mo suddenly said.

In an instant, Yang Xiaohui blushed and said angrily: "Xu Mo, what are you talking about?"

"I tell you, if you miss a high-quality boy like Ning Wei, you may not be able to touch you again in your life." Xu Mo continued without any concern.

"That's right, Xiaohui girl, if I were you, I would take the initiative to pursue that Ning Wei." Lu Jiajia also spoke while speaking.

Yang Xiaohui thought about it and said seriously: "Ning Wei is quite excellent, but I have also thought that excellence may not be suitable. You guys don't know that he stayed in the laboratory for half a month, and even a few people in the dormitory couldn't find anyone else. Do you think this state is really suitable for dating? And if you are crushed by your IQ in front of him, you will really feel inferior."

"Hey, what's the matter? Give yourself a chance to try it first. If it's really not suitable, separate. If you get to know this kind of opportunity, it's fate after all!" Xu Mo said disapprovingly.

"Okay, Sister Mo, let's not get involved in emotional issues. Xiaohui can tell you clearly. Besides, you have wrapped your dormitory together. Is this really good?" Yu Hanzhen, who was still single in the dormitory, said quietly.

"Haha, Xiaoyu, don't say that I didn't remind you, Liu Cong is still alone! Why don't you really give me Baoyuan?"

"screw you!"

The dormitory turned on the fight mode, Yang Xiaohui looked at her with a smile, but she was a little dazed, or should she really try it?

That night, Yang Xiaohui suffered from insomnia.

...

Similarly, Ning Wei didn't sleep almost all night.

Of course, he didn't have that complicated thought and spent the whole night studying EDA software at home and abroad.

I chose EDA because this software is the most useful algorithm, and the algorithm happens to be Ning Wei’s current strength.

China also has its own EDA industry. Of course, compared with the three EDA giants Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics, the domestic EDA industry has a pitiful market share, and the gap is not ordinary.

This also includes the leading company in China's EDA industry, Huaxia Jiutian.

According to the data, the three American EDA giants account for 95% of the global EDA industry market, and all China EDA companies combined have only one percent of the market share.

If it is a high-end and complex chip design, such as a CPU, it will be almost zero percent.

In fact, it is not just design, but an excellent EDA software will participate in it many times during the entire chip manufacturing process. Therefore, the functions of EDA can be roughly divided into four categories. The first category is manufacturability design, which is often called DFM; the second is process simulation, and the difficulty in this area is that it requires massive data support;

The third is to design the interface, and the main difficulty lies in providing PDK and libraries.

Especially the PDK.

In Ning Wei's understanding, PDK is equivalent to directly communicating with IC design companies, foundry factories and EDA software vendors. A complete and excellent PDK is a set of document materials for foundry factories, while IC design companies need to use it for physical verification, which is directly related to the success or failure of the flow.

Fourth, directly analyze the yield rate in the production process to solve the problem of improving the yield rate.

So a dedicated EDA tool began to be formed in Ning Wei's mind.

The reason why it is called a dedicated EDA tool is that although this tool is almost versatile, it cannot be used to design general-purpose chips such as CPUs and GPUs with extremely high complexity. The main application area lies in the design of specialized smart chips such as semi-customized, fully customized and brain-like chips.

It’s not that I don’t want to get it in one step, but that it’s really too difficult. Not only is it a design problem, but the instruction set also needs to be authorized by Intel. Bypassing these can make the difficulty plummet.

However, if this EDA can be really designed, it can be unique in the EDA industry. The key lies in the engineering library it provides.

According to the design concept that came to Ning Wei's mind, he would fill many intelligent algorithms into the engineering library, so that in the future, when designing special smart chips that implement certain functions, it will be very convenient to call them from the engineering library.

It’s also different if you don’t have money. If this EDA is really going to be made, Ning Wei feels that he is a great man who has half his foot in the field of artificial intelligence.

During this process, he developed some new algorithms, and after the entire project, he felt that it would be no problem to win another scientific progress award.

The most important thing is that as long as this EDA software is proven to be useful and promoted, he can breathe a sigh of relief. At that time, even if his brain returns to its usual appearance, he will have enough foundation for his life.

Therefore, this software should be designed as a fool. As long as the operation is simple enough, it can make people easier to get started and promote it easier. After all, the original intention of artificial intelligence development is to make lazy people lazy.

There is also a compatibility issue.

Ning Wei feels it is necessary to design unified standards in this area. The chips designed through this EDA software will use a unified software and hardware interface and tool chain, so that applications based on their own chips can be freely ported.

This requires a strict definition of the functional boundaries of the chip.

In this way, in one night, I would rather record whatever I think of. After a night, a new research report for the project took shape. This is a big project. If you want to do it before graduation, it is still quite time-consuming.

However, when Ning Wei thought of the researchers assigned to him by the laboratory, he felt that it seemed not too difficult.

Of course, the premise is that the leader should pay attention to it and really treat it as a key project. The sent are senior researchers rather than a few students. Ning Wei plans to choose a time to submit a report to Professor Lu for the past two days and talk about this project carefully.

Ning Wei's expectation is to complete the project before the postgraduate entrance examination next year, and at least he can start limited promotion. In this way, after the postgraduate entrance examination is over, he can almost focus on further studies and expand the breadth and depth of his knowledge.
Chapter completed!
