Chapter 3055: Work Hard and Fast (Part 1)

The tender pink blossoms of the cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan announce that the capital has officially entered the season of recovery.

The capital comes alive at this time of year.

As our economy grows larger and larger, and with the successful holding of the Olympic Games and the World Expo, these two most important meetings every year in our political ecology are attracting more and more attention in the world.

More and more international media have sent their own gold medal teams to comprehensively track and report this event. Countless experts from behind are also actively conducting various analyzes of the meeting from multiple angles based on the information sent back from the front. Interpretation.

In this regard, Bloomberg will naturally not be content with others. They sent a reporting team of more than ten people, which was deployed by the end of February.

Apart from the two sessions, Feng Yiping, who was highly topical and had a close relationship, was naturally the focus of their coverage. However, they even requested coordination from the US headquarters and failed to secure another opportunity to interview Feng Yiping.

Not only Feng Yiping, but also Feng Yiping's company kept a very low profile during this period. The only one that could be called a C-level debut was the Jiasheng Holiday Hotel located in the Jiasheng Business District of the capital.

On Jiasheng's official website, news related to Holiday Inn appeared many times. First, Vice President Zhou Xingyu led a team to inspect, then Vice President Xu Bin led a team to inspect, then, Lao Ma, and finally, it was Feng Yiping's turn to personally take action... …

They believe that even if the current President O'Hei wants to stay here, the hotel can only pay such attention.

Therefore, this also made them feel the importance of this meeting from one side, because Feng Yiping and the others now attach so much importance to it, and the reason for taking turns to inspect is just because the Holiday Inn is the residence of their provincial delegation.

In fact, Feng Yiping did something "showy". He really didn't need to worry about such things. He just wanted to let the representatives of the province feel that he valued him. At this time every year, he would come down from the roof and walk for a while. suffered.

Feng Yiping, who once again succeeded in making the fellow villagers feel bright, was not in the business district at this time. After returning to the capital, he just walked around the park and rushed to the π base without stopping. Here, including Lao Ma Executives including , Jin Ling, Mayer, Cummins, and Rubin, as well as heads of chip-related companies, were already waiting for him in the conference room.

The meeting started quickly, "I think everyone already knows about the meeting two days ago. That meeting was a very enlightening meeting. Everyone must have been thinking seriously about what was mentioned in that meeting in the past two days. those possibilities,"

But he actually doesn't care too much what everyone thinks.

"After two days of thinking, I think that the thinking direction of relevant colleagues is undoubtedly the right one. We should start the research and development of related chips. To be precise, we should turn to the research and development of AI chips now,"

No one was surprised to hear his conclusion, and Dr. Lu was even more delighted. AI is his professional field and the main reason why he rejected Microsoft and chose to join Feng Yiping Company.

Dr. Zhang Anshi from the Chip Division also welcomes this.

People are dissatisfied. When Jiasheng Chip has more and more say in the storage field, and will definitely replace Samsung and become the leader of the storage chip industry by the end of this year at the latest, he already feels that his company is in the chip field. It seems a little thin.

Not to mention CPU, that is basically Intel’s world, plus AMD at most.

In recent years, the scope of applications has become larger and larger, and the performance of GPUs has become better and better. Nvidia is almost the only one.

It is really difficult to find a breakthrough, but now it seems that I have found it.

In short, no matter what AI chip the company plans to make, it will be a chip.

Considering that his boss has always been willing to be the leader and disdain to be like the phoenix tail, he felt quite comfortable.

This means that in the near future, the chip department will be in the leading position in the industry in at least two fields. By then, it will have even more reasons to be proud and look down on Samsung... Haha, how cool!

ARM's Warren East is less excited.

Originally, in the field of chips, ARM was the only one that everyone cared about. Later, there was a memory chip project that invested a lot of money, and most of the attention was taken away. Now, there is an AI chip, and it seems that it is the same. To vigorously develop...

The old gentleman suddenly felt a little unhappy. Why are we becoming more and more marginalized?

But looking at our current achievements, whether it is shipments or profits, we have hit new highs repeatedly. Where is the reason to be marginalized?

He glanced at Feng Yiping, who was looking excited. He should have a good talk with his boss.

"I have been emphasizing that one of the directions we will focus on in the future is AI. The area where we need to increase investment is AI. After thinking about it for the past two days, I have come to a conclusion that we need to put these ideas into practice. , or in other words, in order to better implement and implement our strategy in this regard, the most important thing is the research and development of AI chips,"

"I believe that in the future, more and more AI technologies will come out of the laboratory, be applied to various fields, and have a significant impact on all walks of life,"

"Behind such a new wave will definitely be the breakthrough and development of AI chips and the success of related hardware,"

Dr. Lu, who was a little excited just now, is now a little embarrassed.

He has many ideas on how to implement the company's AI strategy, some of which are already being developed in the laboratory.

But Feng Yiping's words made him feel the gap. Although the work he was doing now was also very groundbreaking in terms of intent, overall it missed the point.

He looked at Feng Yiping seriously, and once again he admired the vision of this technical layman who everyone knew.

Yes, focusing on AI chips is what individuals and companies like them who are determined to become leaders in this field should focus on.

In the field of AI, if the chip is the "outline", then all other projects can only be regarded as the "purpose".

The correct way is to focus on the outline and then focus on the outline.

He wrote this on the paper, marked a few emphasis marks under the AI ​​chip, and looked at Feng Yiping again. Perhaps he was born with such a good vision.

Work should be adjusted.

Feng Yiping also thought of this, "So I think our work in this area should be adjusted accordingly,"

He looked at Dr. Lu, who immediately said, "Yes, Mr. Feng, I very much agree with you. We will adjust the focus of our work immediately,"

"What are your thoughts specifically?" Feng Yiping asked him.

Dr. Lu pushed up his glasses, "Currently, what we are facing are the challenges brought by neural networks and deep learning. The solution to this problem, which is our breakthrough, should be more specialized chips,"

After Feng Yiping pointed out the key points, his idea quickly became clear, "Providing powerful driving chips for AI and deep learning..."

Lao Ma interrupted him, "Sorry, interrupt me, except for our memory chips, I only know about other chips, CPU, oh, and graphics card's GPU. How is this different from them?"

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and even Warren East felt a little happy.

"This," Dr. Lu thought for a while, "to use a simple metaphor, the CPU is equivalent to an omnipotent old professor who can solve all kinds of complex mathematical problems at his fingertips. The GPU is roughly equivalent to a group of elementary school students."

"If they are asked to solve some specific problems, such as large-scale summing of two single-digit numbers, Professor Hua Luogeng cannot compare with 100 primary school students in ordinary primary schools in the same time."

"The chip we are going to make is probably equivalent to a geek. He can do a hundred or even a thousand in terms of multiplication, but he is clueless in other aspects. He may not even be able to calculate that one plus one equals two. Not coming out,"

"Oh, I kind of understand," Lao Ma nodded, "Doctor, please continue."

His words triggered another burst of good-natured laughter.

"Mr. Feng's words inspired me a lot. I think that in the future, traditional chips such as CPUs and GPUs will still dominate in terms of quantity, but for a company like ours, the use of such general-purpose chips Demand will decrease,"

"Because for us, the proportion of data has become larger and larger. In order to process this data, we will need more such AI chips," he looked at Feng Yiping, "This is my opinion,"

"Dr. Lu, I hope you will refine this aspect as soon as possible and make a report to the heads of companies and experts at tomorrow's enlarged meeting. That's it for today." Feng Yiping stood up and called to Warren East. waved, "Warren, let's go for a walk,"
