Chapter 376 Advance

  Tapeout, also called tapeout, also called PG.

  What happens every year or every few months in an integrated circuit design company is almost the same as a daily routine, and the tape-out just adds a hard dish.

   But at Tesla, what they are about to meet is the first industrial tapeout!

The last time it was tape-out, Zhao Song took an opportunity to join the MPW tape-out service provided by Fujitsu for academia. The money for one tape-out was paid by several companies. This time, for the industrial tape-out, Fujitsu Semiconductor only served Tesla. , Zhao Song paid for it himself.

   Received a call from Ding Tao about the latest appointment, Wan Hean came out of the laboratory, took a deep breath in the corridor, and tried to minimize the psychological changes brought about by the change of position.

  Tape-out, Wan He'an doesn't want to make any mistakes, even if the annual salary is one million! Professor Zhou couldn't stand the toss.

   But who can guarantee that the film will be 100% successful? Ding Tao said on the phone just now that the boss has gone to the Lama Temple to offer incense.

  Wan and An couldn't help smiling, turned around and returned to the laboratory, and said goodbye to the second master Guan.

In the    lab, more than 20 servers and workstations are still running Benchmark. Professor Zhou and his students are still trying to find out whether there will be a better performance architecture and size.

   During this time, the time management of this group of people is almost the same as the hardware design, parallelism, pipeline, Da Vinci sleep method - they use all the time they can save!

   These people are giving back the trust of the young boss in their own way!

   In a company that has just been established for a year, the film is taped twice a year. If it succeeds twice, it will get a year-end award. If it succeeds, it will get a small award.

   Tesla, which has not yet successfully taped out, is not like a small company at all. Zhao Song accepts failure. As long as there is innovation and progress, he will pay the tuition that should be paid, and it will be fine if he does not have a miscarriage.

The tape-out is not expensive, but every time an industrial-grade tape-out, budget funds, cross-border cooperation, non-disclosure agreements for various contract terms, and multi-party mediation, the manpower, material resources, and the salary of researchers are astronomical. Especially Tesla's industrial tapeout this time is countless times faster than the normal process. Zhao Song and Wei Fang didn't tell everyone how much it cost and how much it cost!

In the corner, Erye Guan was full of incense, and in the middle, Professor Zhou was discussing something with the students and the engineers sent by Fujitsu. The growing criticism of Tesla.

Wan He An frowned and glanced at him. If his voice could be heard by these netizens who were right and wrong, he really wanted to tell them loudly what the young Tesla was doing in their mouths, the younger Zhao What is Song doing! He has seen the betting procurement contract between Tesla and Elpida. According to the current situation, Tesla has won the betting contract.

   After reading the contract, Wan and Anzhen felt that buying it was cheaper than robbing it.

   "Xiao Wan."

   Just when Wan Hean was angry, Professor Zhou called him, Wan Hean looked up and saw him coming, hurriedly closed the page, and left his seat: "Professor Zhou, what's the matter?"

Professor Zhou told Wan He'an with a dignified expression: "Just now, the engineer from Fujitsu said that there was an accident at the company in the island country that was supposed to tape out the film, and asked us if we would do it the day after tomorrow. If we don't do it the day after tomorrow, it will be postponed until seven days later. "

   "Two days in advance..."

  Wan He'an lowered his head and pondered for a while. After thinking about it, he asked, "Will the production line process change?"

  Professor Zhou shook his head: "No, it's all 0.65."

   Opportunity!

   Wan and An rubbed their trembling hands and asked again, "What's your opinion?"

   "I think do!"

  Professor Zhou's answer was unequivocal, "We have checked all the problems that we can check, and the simulations that should be done have been repeated twice. One day later, one day earlier makes no difference."

   "Then do it!"

  Wan Hean took out his mobile phone, "I'll call the boss and tell him."

   just said, because Zhao Song will definitely agree, it is not that Zhao Song is stupid and has a lot of money, but he knows the difficulty of streaming movies, and Zhao Song will never be reluctant to spend the money.

  Professor Zhou also knew about Zhao Song: "I'm going to book a ticket!"

"do not."

  Wan He An didn't bother to make a phone call, and quickly reached out and grabbed Professor Zhou's arm: "Mr. Zhou, the boss won't let you go."

Professor Zhou took his arm out of Wan He'an's hand, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Let me finish this lesson for them. From the theoretical basis to the test after tape-out, if successful, these Even if the students have experienced a complete practical education! They are much stronger than those who only rely on simulation teaching in domestic design institutes.

  Xiao Wan, before the level of those people in Spreadtrum is determined, they will be the greatest wealth of Tesla Microelectronics! "

   is also your best gift for Tesla!

   This sentence, Wan Hean did not say it, did not stop Professor Zhou, he picked up the phone again, and told Zhao Song the news.

   While waiting to be connected, he suddenly remembered a passage from a foreign semiconductor senior in the NHK documentary "Electronic Founding Readme":

"Whenever the chip tape out for a period of time, my heart is very uneasy and I can't sleep well. I always wonder if there will be a problem, what is wrong or not. When the chip comes back, I press RESET for the first time, and my heart is extremely nervous. Release of RESET is the moment to distinguish between heaven and hell. The logic analyzer numbers are confused, and the mood falls into **** in an instant, and no one wants to speak. If everything is normal, people seem to be in heaven, as if the whole world revolves around themselves, Like I'm the king of the world."

  ………….

   At the same time, also around 5:00 pm, Huashi Computer issued a statement on major websites saying:

"Recently, Long XX and Zhang XX extorted 5 million US dollars from Huashi Computer on the grounds that Huashi Company used the beta CPU during the maintenance process. This seriously violated the legitimate rights and interests of our company, and also affected the normal operation of our company. The business has had a great impact. At present, the persons involved have been criminally detained by the public security organs. Huashi Computer issued the following solemn statement on this matter.

  As a responsible enterprise, Huashi Computer regards product quality as the life of the enterprise, and always actively treats any questions and suggestions related to products or services in the attitude of serving customers and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. However, there is sufficient evidence to show that the incident of Long XX and Zhang XX asking Huashi Computer for US$5 million on the grounds that "Huashi maintenance engineers replaced the 'beta CPU' for users" not long ago is not an ordinary event. Product quality or service repair problems, but an alleged act of extortion. At present, the matter has entered legal proceedings, and the judicial authorities are further investigating and handling it. "

The Consumer Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, which was implemented on January 1, 1994, is only a legal clause. The public does not know much about it. What they are more concerned about is the figure of 5 million US dollars, not the first time I wonder if the two consumers have been trapped, and no one pays attention to what the two consumers are facing at this time.

  Compared to buying a Mercedes-Benz, the kind that leaks oil, Huashi computer is an advanced example of pitting consumers!

   Do you buy a notebook? The one in jail!
