Chapter 192 The idea of ​​virtual helmet in EDA software development

"Professor Wang Zhihong is not exaggerating. Hong Jun is indeed extremely talented in the field of EDA design."

Chen Heyu walked in front of the computer and flipped through the development documents drafted by the wrong party.

Tight logic and clear organization!

The document is subdivided into four modules: product description, system architecture, module design, and testing strategy, which can help researchers better understand the overall structure and development process of the project, and guide engineers to convert requirements into executable code.

Excellent EDA design software requires a variety of core functions, including but not limited to:

●Circuit design and layout

●Simulation and analysis tools

●Modular design

●Component library and schematic symbol library

●Automatic routing and routing optimization

●Design rule checking and electromagnetic compatibility testing

Chen Heyu quickly read the information, then added, deleted, and supplemented the documents and listed the development plan.

He planned to divide the EDA software development work of designing the Shiwang chip into seven subsystems and work on them separately to improve efficiency.

He spent the whole afternoon revising documents, and it wasn't until the lunch break that he finalized all the details and processes.

"Hong Jun, come here."

Chen Heyu raised his head and shouted to Hong Jun, who was not far away.

"Boss, come on, why are you looking for him? Are you shocked after seeing this genius's design?"

Hong Jun said with a smile, looking confident.

"Who gave me the courage?"

Chen Heyu glanced at him with disdain and curled his lips.

"It's true that even those in the laboratory couldn't find any omissions even if I gave them a month."

Hong Jun walked eastward and boasted about Haikou.

"Shao Paise, he helped me revise a new version and divided the development plan into seven subsystems. I was responsible for the underlying code of the user interface."

Chen Heyu waved his leg, interrupting the wrong party's boasting.

"Forehead……"

Hong Jun was speechless.

He planned to go back and peel off the cocoon and study the boss's development documents carefully. He didn't believe it. There was no problem at all.

Chen Heyu is a genius programmer, he admits that, but he does not believe that the other party also has strong talent in the EDA field.

He has basically heard of excellent foreign electronic design automation talents, and his own boss is not one of them.

"Group B is responsible for library management, Group C is responsible for design rule checking and electromagnetic compatibility testing, and Group D is responsible for the simulation analysis subsystem..."

Chen Heyu said to himself. Seeing Hong Jun in a daze, he couldn't help frowning and knocking on the table.

"Repeat what he just said."

"ah!?"

Hong Jun blushed, felt a little embarrassed, and scratched his head.

"Forget it, it's all in the document, go back and read it slowly.

I am in charge of Team A. Remember, I am not Professor Wang’s student, so don’t lose Mr. Wang’s face.”

Chen Heyu said seriously.

"No problem, he guarantees that there won't be a single bug!"

Hong Jun patted his chest and said.

"As long as bugs appear, they can be corrected. How can they be 100% perfect?"

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

From development to testing to online, if a software has no bugs, then it does not exist. He doesn’t care about the process, he just wants the previous results to satisfy him.

After handing over his work, he left the office.

Walk straight to the cafeteria.

"Boss, would you like to have lunch with us?"

On the way, I met Professor Strong by chance, and he warmly invited me.

"Professor Strong, are you accustomed to life in Yancheng? If you encounter any problems and need the company to come forward, you can contact Mr. Zhang at any time."

Chen Heyu said warmly.

Future Technology has always been very courteous to the top expert in the brain field, and thoughtfully helped him with accommodation, meals, and travel. We also arranged for a local assistant to help him get familiar with the working environment in China as soon as possible.

"Boss, thank you for your care. Before he came, it was hard to imagine that there was a technology company with strong technology in China. I heard that I was developing EDA software. I wish me success."

Strong said cheerfully.

"Thank you. I hope that the brain-computer interface technology taught to me can achieve breakthroughs and help those with physical disabilities and neurological injuries to recover as soon as possible."

Chen Heyu replied with a smile.

The two of them walked slowly along the cobblestone path of Jingwei Garden, chatting as they walked. The distance was less than 200 meters, and they walked for more than ten minutes.

"With my support, he believes that one day, in the near future, humans can control artificial limbs, wheelchairs, televisions and other equipment through brain-computer interfaces to achieve true human-computer interaction."

Strong said longingly, that was not his dream.

He is a handsome old man from an elementary school who traveled thousands of miles to come to China. On the one hand, Chen Heyu was not convinced by the technical staff, but on the other hand, he was not willing to spend money on future technology.

Electrophysiological signal recorders, brain-computer interface control software, functional magnetic resonance imaging and other equipment are all of the highest quality. After Strong joined, the investment in R&D equipment alone exceeded US$100 million.

.

Before, he didn't receive that kind of treatment in the beautiful country.

Although there is a certain gap between China and the beautiful country in terms of theoretical knowledge and infrastructure, Strong is confident and asks Chen Heyu to continue investing. His research results will definitely have application scenarios.

"Boss, it is too difficult to manufacture biochips, and it is not easy to conduct clinical trials.

But there is hope that the head-mounted brain-computer interface device will allow you to see the finished product within a year."

Strong said.

"Oh? Professor, do you have any direction?"

Chen Heyu became interested, stopped and asked.

"The core component of the head-mounted brain-computer interface is a sensor. That kind of device can measure cerebral cortex activity. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two types, one is electroencephalography (EEG), and the other is magnetoencephalography (MEG).

).

EEG sensors, using silver or silver chloride electrodes, provide reliable signal capture.

The MEG sensor, a superconducting quantum interferometer, can measure magnetic fields more accurately, but it is much more expensive than the EEG sensor, and requires excellent isolation conditions during operation, and the use conditions are more demanding.

You previously asked whether you wanted to slowly enter the medical industry from the gaming field. He agreed with that view and suggested using EEG sensors to reduce costs and reduce promotion resistance."

Strong said slowly.

As an expert in the field of brain-computer interface, he is also familiar with hardware equipment and can give Chen Heyu professional advice from a business perspective.

"He accepts my plan, and the research and development will be synchronized at any time. If there are difficulties that Mr. Zhang cannot solve, you can contact him directly."

Chen Heyu warned.

Of course he is unwilling to give up cutting-edge technology. In addition to Professor Strong's team, in the past six months, he has hired dozens of outstanding talents in brain-computer interfaces through headhunting channels and the Future Technology Overseas Business Department.

Most of them are experts in the fields of brain signal acquisition, signal processing analysis, human-computer interaction and sensors.

It can be said that although future technology will make money, the investment in R&D is not low. Zhang Nan synchronized the corresponding data in the meeting this week.

Moss Artificial Intelligence's two groups of experimental personnel, the brain-computer interface laboratory and the chip design laboratory, have annual labor expenses and R&D expenses that actually account for 25% of the company's net profit.

And, that numerical convexity will continue to expand.

Chen Heyu smiled and walked into the cafeteria with him.

He knew exactly what Strong meant.

If you want to use sensors to collect brain signals, and then use data processing software to analyze the brain signals and translate them into instructions and control signals that the computer can understand, you can control or interact with external devices.

If he combines Ai and AR technology, he can create a gaming helmet like those in science fiction movies, or even a holographic gaming cabin, which will definitely subvert the current gaming industry.

After eating with Professor Strong, he returned to the office and took a nap.

I wake up in the morning and continue to write the main program framework, which includes the main function, class definition and function declaration, etc.

Members of other groups, after receiving corresponding development tasks, are building the basic code of the software in an orderly manner.

Chen Heyu was responsible for building the core skeleton, while others added details and perfected the huge project bit by bit.

In the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean, the three multinational companies of Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor Graphics don't know that there is a company in the East that is extending its legs to their territory and wants to compete for the top spot!
