Tech Hammer

Ning Wei once thought carefully about some of the additional functions that his brain had after the mutation. He felt that the focus of these functions was probably guidance.

That is to say, whenever he comes into contact with useful knowledge points, his brain will be activated, and then he will react violently and associate many related knowledge lines. For other knowledge points, the brain has no response at all.

Currently, science content has a relatively strong activation response, such as mathematics, physics, and especially quantum physics.

Liberal arts content, such as politics, is basically unresponsive.

So when he decided to develop an EDA and began to search for EDA data, his brain was extremely active and he gave a series of suggestions and highly targeted solutions.

It was as if he associated the turbulence algorithm from the NS equation at that time.

In other words, Ning Wei believes that this EDA must be useful.

He only had a vague idea of ​​how to use it. He originally planned to brainstorm with Lu Dongyi on WeChat, but that guy was obviously not interested in the EDA project and didn't take up the topic at all.

So this question is also a headache for Ning Wei.

He is 90% sure that this EDA will be useful once it is successfully designed, but he is not sure how to promote it and whether its value can be truly realized, or he does not know how to word it to convince the person who raised this issue.

…

"Professor Han, it is not convenient for me to answer your question directly. I can only tell you that this EDA is definitely useful. If we are successful enough, it can even change people's expectations for a series of future electronic products." Ning He answered carefully.

The question was raised by Han Wenqing, the only researcher with a professorship among the people he selected.

Ning Wei selected him mainly because the professor was involved in the development of large-scale integrated circuits and also had rich experience in software development. With an experienced and rigorous leader leading the team, his job will be much easier.

"That answer doesn't quite convince me."

Han Wenqing pushed up his glasses, but his attitude remained rigorous: "If a product is successful enough, the advantages of the product in comparison with the auction should have been found in the design stage. Otherwise, is it too hasty to launch this project in such a hurry? It is a waste of time and money in the early stage. , it is not good for the overall planning of the project. And I am most afraid that the final product developed will be meaningless.”

"You are just a math major. I admire your achievements in math at your age, but crossing boundaries requires more than just talent."

Ning Wei thought for a while and replied: "Professor Han, how can it be meaningless? First of all, you can't deny that domestic EDA tools are incomplete, right? EDA software must cover all aspects of IC design, wiring, verification and simulation. Current domestic EDA tools Many EDA only involve some of the links."

"Secondly, I don't agree with the waste of money. I don't know if you know about the turbulence algorithm project. From the design to the development of this algorithm, I didn't get a penny of R\u0026D funds from the school. Even when it entered the testing stage, the laboratory was prepared to give me five I have rejected R\u0026D funds worth RMB 100,000. As for the EDA project, the current planned use of funds is mostly focused on renting and purchasing experimental equipment."

"These devices will be useful in the future. Not to mention, if we can design a nearly all-purpose EDA software as planned, it will be considered as accumulating experience for the next generation of EDA software upgrades, right? Is it because it is not as good as other people's similar products now? , just never do it? Although it is a bit presumptuous, I still want to tell you that I attach great importance to this project and am very confident. If you feel that it is a waste of time, you can quit this project. I am not looking for more reasons to convince you."

Ning Wei said calmly.

He values ​​Han Wenqing's experience, but does not necessarily need it.

At most, he is just a little tired.

Anyway, being young and being able to survive is his biggest asset now.

"Okay, I will reserve my opinion and withdraw from this project. In addition, I will express my opinion to the laboratory leaders and school leaders. Your project is suspected of wasting R\u0026D funds. I do not deny its innovativeness, but I doubt its practicality." Han Wenqing said calmly.

"This is your right. Okay, are there any other teachers who have decided to quit?" Ning Wei asked.

Although all the members of the project team in the conference room were older than him, Ning Wei's brief confrontation with the old professor made Ning Wei no longer nervous and even felt like a project leader.

He did not dislike Professor Han's rigor. In fact, with Professor Han's qualifications, he doubted why he had not participated in other key projects, but now he probably understood.

He is very stubborn and has a conservative and moderate way of thinking, but he is also very magnanimous.

This kind of character is actually a double-edged sword. If you achieve outstanding results, you may not really be able to leave your name in history. But most of them can only be depressed and frustrated.

No one said a word.

Han Wenqing stood up silently and walked out of the conference room.

"Okay, then let's go directly into groups. Director Lu has approved two laboratories for our project. One is responsible for the front end, Professor Xu will be responsible for it, and I will be responsible for the back end. After the meeting, everyone will work according to their own abilities. Sign up for the corresponding group.”

"I have written all the programming requirements in the laboratory manual of this project. Teachers, please read it carefully. I emphasize that please use unified standards for function naming, and the places where documentation needs to be established must not be omitted, and Be as detailed as possible.”

"Before submitting the code after completing the work every day, each group is required to review each other internally. The standard is that as long as one person in the code group completed that day cannot understand the code through the function name and class name and cannot explain it clearly, the code will not be allowed to be submitted. It needs to be called back Rewrite. If it is submitted and the team leader or I feel that the code is not up to par, then not only will this batch of code be deleted, but it will also become a task for the entire team to pass approval! The entire team will need to work overtime to make up for it."

"All functional code modules need to be commented in detail. The standard is that if we add people to the project in the future, they can get started immediately, instead of feeling that the code we typed before is a pile of shit."

"Do you have any other questions?"

No one answered.

"Okay, today's meeting is over. In addition, for the first batch of allocated R\u0026D funds, I will ask the accountant to directly accrue 5% as a bonus for each stage. This money will be selected by each of the two groups at that stage. Two people totaling four will share 80% of it, and the others will share 20% equally.”

"I personally will not participate in the distribution of the bonus for this project. This will be the case at every stage in the future. I hope everyone can work together to complete this project as soon as possible."

"Now everyone can choose to do front-end or back-end according to their own capabilities. However, this is not a one-time choice and will be adjusted at any time according to the project situation."

…

"Mr. Xiao Ning, don't argue with Professor Han. He's just like that. He's not bad-hearted, but he just likes to be more serious. He doesn't get along with many people."

After the meeting, Yu Xingwei came to Ning Wei and said.

"I can feel it. But do you think our EDA project is meaningful?"

"How could it be meaningless? EDA software involves almost all aspects. Who dares to say it is meaningless? I, Yu Xingwei, was the first to refuse!"

"ha!"

Hearing this, Ning Wei smiled...

"Brother Yu!"

"Um?"

"I finally understand why traitors in the history books got away better! In addition, when I prove that this project is indeed meaningful, I will invite Professor Zaihan back and be responsible for following up on this project after I leave. Project. What do you think?"

"Ahem, Professor Han might become bald if he studies so many codes from scratch. No, you have to leave..."

Ning Wei turned his face sideways, interrupted Yu Xingwei, and said, "That's great! Who asked him to question us? Let's simply change the goal of the project and work together to make Old Han bald. Think about it this way , you are full of motivation instantly, right?"
