Speaking of which, over the years, the fastest way for Xu You to improve his brain power is to rely on the improvement of his systematic learning level.

This level of improvement can instantly obtain a mysterious energy, which directly raises Xu You's brain power to a higher level.

Of course, this kind of incredible method, which even Xu You himself can't explain now, obviously shouldn't suggest to Lou Song.

"My personal experience is that every time you think deeply, you can improve a small part of your brain power. The brain seems to be the same as a muscle. The more you exercise, the stronger it will be."

Lou Song nodded vigorously when he heard this, and said: "Yes! I am the same. Every time I think about a difficult problem, I will feel a little change in my brain. However, it must be a particularly difficult problem. Speaking of it, when I was in school, The difficult problems that the teacher left for me were basically ineffective."

Xu You couldn't help laughing at the mention of this matter.

At that time, Xu You's roommate, Guo Haoran, also received special treatment from the teacher because of his "excellent performance".

However, in the eyes of Lou Song, those trivial topics are full of "good orchids" in Guo Haochen's eyes.

"The questions that I want you to find difficult are not ordinary questions. Lou Song, besides normal thinking, do you have any other secrets to improve your brain power?"

Lou Song thought for a while and said: "It's also a question, but the method may be different. Sometimes, I can complete the problem-solving process directly in my brain, and the speed is faster than using scratch paper. Using this method to solve the problem Difficulties, will be more comfortable than the normal way."

When Xu You heard it, isn't this similar to his deep thinking state and brain simulation?

"Lou Song, I also feel the same way you feel. When I am in a good state, I can simulate various reactions in my brain, or play chess with myself. When the brain is thinking at a high level, the speed of brain power improvement is indeed It will be faster."

"Wonderful! I have always felt that the brain is like physical fitness. It is not only born, but can also be improved through acquired training. However, there is also an age limit. After a certain age, it will reach the peak of brain power. It is impossible to continue to improve. Before reaching this limit, we must seize the opportunity to improve our brain power. It is estimated that after the age of forty at most, it will be difficult to continue to improve.”

In the sports world, the peak of athletes is often in their twenties or thirties, and it is rare for them to be over forty and continue to improve.

The Fields Medal, the "Nobel Prize" in mathematics, is only awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40, which can also explain similar problems.

Xu You and Lou Song continued their research after exchanging their methods of improving brain power.

...

With the joint efforts of Xu You, Lou Song and others, as well as Suanjing artificial intelligence.

We have successfully completed the development of computer chip EDA software and are ready to enter the chip design stage.

"I didn't expect that AI could play such a big role in the EDA field. Without artificial intelligence, we would not have completed the development of computer chip EDA so quickly and well."

"Yeah, if things go on like this, we humans probably won't have anything to do in the future, and all jobs can be solved by AI."

Hearing everyone talking about artificial intelligence, Xu You went over and explained with a smile:

"Actually, AI can help us solve these problems, largely due to the powerful computing power of AI. In the field of EDA, AI has two main applications, one is to predict performance, and the other is to help the use of tools more automatically. All of this is inseparable from AI's special algorithms and powerful computing capabilities."

"Professor Xu, can you explain it to us in detail?"

Seeing that everyone was curious about the specific principle, Xu You patiently explained.

"In the part of predicting performance, the back-end design process is very long, so the part we can see in front of us is actually very far away from the back-end. Relying on the powerful computing power of AI, we can quickly see the performance of the back-end, Greatly improve the accuracy of simulation and optimization performance. Even if it can only increase by 5% or 10%, it is a huge improvement for the overall situation."

"As for the problem of tool automation, it is easier to understand. If the data is only run once, there will be no difference in speed between artificial intelligence and AI. If it is run dozens or hundreds of times in a row, the difference in speed can be Big. On this, our AI is not only faster, but also gives recommended parameters and expected results within a reasonable range.”

Xu You explained the specific principles to everyone in very common language, and soon everyone understood it.

The next job is to use EDA software to design the chip.

Because of the compatibility between the chip and the system, a mature system can only be made after the design of the chip is completed.

It is very normal for various bugs to appear between the chip and the system.

The system can be modified to accommodate the chip, but after the chip is made, it cannot be modified.

Regarding the process technology of the chip, everyone is also actively discussing it.

"According to the latest internal news, our EUV lithography machine has basically completed all the preparation work, leaving only the final testing stage. If there is no accident, we will be able to make our own high-precision chips soon."

This news made everyone very excited, but it is still unclear when this lithography machine will be used.

"My suggestion is to design computer chips with 10nm or 14nm process technology first. Such a process technology does not require the use of EUV lithography machines, and our technology is more mature. Moreover, compared with mobile phone chips, computer chips are more important to the process technology. The requirements are not so high, just getting into this industry, we still need to start with 10nm or 14nm process technology, and then adopt more advanced process technology after the technology matures.”

"I don't think so. Computer chips do not have as high requirements on the process technology as mobile phone chips, but in fact the difference is not much. The existing top-level computer chips, the process technology has basically reached 5-6nm. If we still use backward The process technology is definitely not comparable to companies such as Intel, AMD, and fruit in terms of chip performance. Originally, we are latecomers in the computer field, and the system and ecology are brand new. If the chip is still far behind them, there is no There is no competition."

Hearing everyone's comments, Xu You smiled lightly.
