I Am the President of the University

Chen Hao looked up with surprise on his face. \\b

"Professor Zhu, what's the matter?"

Compared with Chen Chong who returned to China with him, Zhu Chen's life is very simple.

In addition to taking classes from time to time, I devote the rest of my time to MR smart glasses.

The technical content of MR smart glasses is not much lower than that of optical cores and photonic screens. After all, this project is not the glasses made by Microsoft and Google. It is a veritable "MR" technology.

"Principal, the optical core has been completed, right?"

Zhu Chen seemed to be stimulated by something, and said excitedly: "Principal, can you ask the Optical Core Research Center to cooperate with my research institute to develop a chip for MR smart glasses?"

In fact, many products now require chips, such as refrigerators, air conditioners and even car keys.

It’s just that these chip types are different. For example, there are many differences between computer chips and mobile phone chips. In layman’s terms, mobile phone chips are based on ARM architecture, while computer chips are based on x86 architecture.

Like Apple's M1 chip, the performance is absolutely superb. It has twice the performance of the A14 chip. If it can be installed in an Apple mobile phone, it will be a killing based on performance alone.

But it can't.

Because mobile phones are different from computers, the area is limited, limited by the silicon chip area, power supply and heat dissipation, the number of cores, and the frequency.

The heat dissipation and power consumption of the M1 chip are not something mobile phones can bear.

It is worth mentioning that Apple’s A-series chips have strong performance, but their heat dissipation capabilities are too poor, resulting in reduced chip performance.

"No problem at all.\\b" Chen Hao agreed without even thinking about it.

Seeing that the principal agreed so quickly, Zhu Chen, who had already done a lot of drafts, was speechless. \\b

Zhu Chen couldn't help but ask a concerned question.

"Principal, what architecture does Optical Core use? It shouldn't be the ARM architecture, right?"

"of course not."

Chen Hao put down his chopsticks and said with a faint smile: "Optical core is neither an ARM architecture nor an x86 architecture, but our unique architecture."

"Isn't it using RISC (reduced instruction set)? \\b" Zhu Chen's eyes widened.

This is a big earthquake!

"No, you can call it Universal Instruction Set Architecture, or UISC (Universal Set Computing) for short." Chen Hao said with a smile on his face.

This is thanks to the optical core technology (full version) finally delivered to the system, which also comes with a more powerful instruction set architecture.

"Then, wouldn't it mean that computers, tablets, and watches can also be used?" Zhu Chen asked in a trembling voice.

"That's the theory. \\b" Chen Hao said with a smile.

The ARM architecture used in mobile phone chips is based on the reduced instruction set (RISC) architecture, so it can also be called the RISC architecture.

The x86 architecture used in computer chips is based on the Complex Instruction Set (CISC) architecture, also called CISC architecture.

The former focuses more on the realization of high performance but high power consumption, while the latter focuses on the field of small size and low power consumption.

For example, let's say we want to order a person to eat:

The order issued by the CISC structure is "First take a spoon, then scoop up a spoonful of rice, then open your mouth, then put it into your mouth, and finally swallow it".

The RISC architecture uses very simple commands to allow it to do very complex things. It only needs to issue a [eat] command.

Does it seem that the RISC architecture is simpler than the CISC architecture?

But this streamlining comes at the expense of high performance.

The instructions are more complex, which means the instructions are more powerful.

Or take the example of eating.

[First take a spoon, then scoop up a spoonful of rice, then open your mouth, then bring it to your mouth, and finally swallow it] This process can be completed by the CISC architecture in only 1 instruction, while RISC requires 5 instructions to complete.

The UISC architecture (Universal Instruction Architecture) uses one instruction to complete the process [first take a spoon, then scoop up a spoonful of rice, then open your mouth, then bring it to your mouth, and finally swallow it].

It not only has the characteristics of small size and low power consumption of RISC architecture, but also can achieve high performance of CISC architecture.

It’s simply a perfect structure!

"Principal, that optical core has offended both Qualcomm and Intel to death!" Intel appeared inexplicably in Zhu Chen's mind, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

Under the same area, the performance of optical cores is far better than Intel's chips. Once Intel loses orders for computer chips, it will be a disaster.

Once optical cores become popular in the world, mobile phone chip giants Samsung, Qualcomm, and Apple will all be doomed. Samsung and Apple will be fine. At worst, they will not use their own products and just purchase them from Guanghua.

But Qualcomm is completely cool.

The same goes for computer chips. \\bIntel makes chips but not computers. Once optical cores are opened to major PC companies, Intel will also follow in the footsteps of Qualcomm.

However, Zhu Chen was also happy to see such a scene. He was humiliated when he went to acquire Intel's AR business, which he has not forgotten.

"But in this case, we will face great resistance, as well as ecological and environmental problems." When Zhu Chen thought of this, he was so anxious that he couldn't even eat.

"The x8 architecture is already very mature, and all major operating systems have also optimized it. All major application manufacturers have established corresponding development systems and R\u0026D teams..."

Regarding Zhu Chen's worries, Chen Hao just waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's still a few months before the mass production of optical cores. The outside world doesn't know that our optical cores use the UISC architecture. We'll wait until the optical cores are used in mobile phones." We will launch computer chips when the public can no longer live without them.”

"As for the ecological environment, the UISC architecture is compatible with x86 and ARM architectures without affecting the operating system and application software. Of course..." Chen Hao paused at this point and gave a light "cough".

"Of course, after the operating system has been optimized for our UISC institution, the system will become smoother. The same applies to the application software. I think those application manufacturers should know how to do it, right?"

"This, this..." Zhu Chen was stunned.

Good guy, there is really no way for Intel to survive. I don't know how Microsoft will stand. The same is true for other application manufacturers.

PS

…

Thinking of this glass, Feng Chaoyang said that he had really despised it in the past!

This morning, after discovering the trace, they also conducted an experiment.

After struggling for more than half an hour, I really can't break this glass wall...

It’s incredible!

He was thinking, if he kept firing at a point with a heavy machine gun, would he be able to break through it?

It should be possible, otherwise it would be too exaggerated.

"Captain Feng, you don't need to tell me this. I am very relieved to leave the safety of the Optical Core Research Center and the school to you." Chen Hao said nonchalantly.

The scientific research institute of Guanghua University cannot be breached by intruders, whether online or in reality. What's more, there are still people like Captain Feng here, so there is no need to worry about security issues.

Feng Chaoyang was choked by Chen Hao's words. I thought, isn't this just for the sake of gossip?

He now feels that nothing in this school is normal. Maybe it's all camouflage on the outside, but actually it's all high-tech. \\b

After a few non-nutritious words, Chen Hao picked up the plate and put it in the recycling area, then left the cafeteria and walked slowly towards Guanghua Building.
