Leaving aside the protracted negotiations and haggling between Wang Jizhi and Philips.
Zhao Ye, however, was extremely busy.
He plans to develop a relatively mature MMC chip from Nintendo in his previous life, so the workload is a bit larger.
The AutoCAD drawing software is really unreliable; Zhao Ye has complained about it several times already.
As the saying goes, "A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools."
Zhao Ye vowed that once the MMC chip was developed, he would definitely develop an EDA chip design software.
...
...
"I hope the boss is alright. He's been locking himself in his office day and night to design this MMC chip, and he told us not to disturb him. Comrade Li Aoyun, your identity is special, go in and check on him..." Wu Feihu, the leader of the second group of bodyguards, whispered, then looked at Li Aoyun.
Li Aoyun is not only a bodyguard, but also Zhao Ye's secretary.
Upon hearing this, Li Aoyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Wu Feihu.
Quietly pushing open the office door, Li Aojun peeked inside and saw Zhao Ye staring intently at the computer, his hands rapidly typing on the keyboard, the sound like a storm, "tap tap tap" echoing in the otherwise quiet office.
Just then, Zhao Ye suddenly frowned, his typing paused, and then he stopped completely.
"Is he encountering a problem?"
Seeing this, Li Aoyun guessed what was going on. Her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly as she hesitated, wondering if she should advise the other person to rest, so that perhaps a solution could be found later.
But Zhao Ye looked relaxed and continued typing rapidly on the keyboard.
Li Aoyun was taken aback and immediately withdrew his foot from the door. After thinking for a moment, he quietly retreated and carefully closed the door behind him.
"How are you? Is the boss alright?" Wu Feihu asked.
Li Aoyun said calmly, "The boss is fine."
"Oh, that's good!"
Wu Feihu couldn't help but exclaim, "These people who do scientific research are just different! They all work like crazy! It's not just our boss, many people at Loongson Design Company are like that! Don't you think so, Brother Wang?"
Wang Shuang replied seriously, "No one can succeed easily. You only see the glamour on the surface, but you don't see the effort they put in behind the scenes!"
"Yes, that's how our boss is. People only see his glamorous exterior, but they don't know how much sweat he puts in behind the scenes!" Wu Feihu sighed.
While in Hong Kong, Wu Feihu learned from newspapers that many Hong Kong tycoons were either dating celebrities or on their way to dating celebrities.
Unlike the boss, who is wholeheartedly devoted to scientific research.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, 20 days have passed.
With everyone's cooperation, Zhao Ye has designed the system architecture of the MMC chip and defined the software interface, timing, performance, area and power limits.
Next comes architecture verification, attribute checking, design input, functional simulation, equivalence checking, and so on...
There are many steps involved, which take a long time, and Loongson Design Company has a professional team to handle these tasks.
Zhao Ye decided not to waste any more time staying there.
Zhao Ye will only come back if there is a problem that they cannot solve.
Next, Zhao Ye's task was to develop the EDA software.
However, EDA software is very difficult to develop, and the most crucial element is the semiconductor device model.
The device model represented by mathematical formulas is the bridge between EDA software and actual process technology. The more accurate the device model, the closer the circuit simulated by EDA is to the real chip.
As for what a device model is.
Simply put, EDA requires a set of mathematical formulas to describe the basic physical parameter relationships of a transistor, such as the most basic voltage-current relationship between the gate (g), source (s), and drain (d), similar to the voltage and current formula for a resistor, i=u/r. The ui formula for a transistor is, of course, more complex, but the basic idea and principle are the same. This set of mathematical formulas is called the transistor device model.
It is conceivable that the more accurate the device model, the closer the circuit simulated by EDA will be to the real chip.
In his previous life, Zhao Ye failed in several entrepreneurial ventures. His first venture was driven by a passion to develop a domestic EDA software. As expected, although the EDA software was eventually developed, the product lagged behind foreign counterparts, resulting in low sales. Zhao Ye only persisted for two years before filing for bankruptcy.
As the old saying goes, failure is the mother of success.
Sure enough, Zhao Ye only needs to bring out the EDA software that he personally helped design and develop in his previous life, and he will succeed! Although this EDA software was not as good as those foreign EDA software in his previous life, it is a game-changer in this era.
Zhao Ye was deeply impressed by this EDA software, but developing it all by himself would be too difficult. Not only was the workload enormous, but it also required expertise in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other subjects.
However, he understands the best mathematical models and algorithms.
Zhao Ye decided to first organize the requirements and technical difficulties of developing EDA, and then recruit talents nationwide to assist him in this task.
EDA development cycles are long, and you can't rush things. The game development is now at a critical moment, and Zhao Ye, a master of time management, is focused on making the game a hit.
By this time, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio had declined, with little funding left for animation production each year, and it couldn't even pay its employees' wages. More and more people had to find other ways to make a living.
