"The operating system and the semiconductor industry can be said to be inseparable, because a move by IDM in those years directly led to today's two Big Macs, the famous' winter alliance '!"

"For the rise history of these two giant companies, you can see on the Internet that they are not simple roles!"

Lu Kun looked up at the drizzle outside and seemed to fall into memory.

"The company was founded in 1911 and renamed IDM in 1924!"

"This can be said to be a century company that has witnessed the growth of the Internet, and its influence is extremely far-reaching!"

"He not only made personal computers, but also minicomputers, mainframes and supercomputers. At the same time, he also made computer chips, developed computers, server systems, made hard disks and services. At the same time, he also made JH."

Listening to Lu Kun's talk, Lu yunqi probably understood.

Almost all of today's computer business was first developed by IDM.

At present, the world's largest computer seller, Lianxiang computer, was sold by IDM at that time.

At the same time, many Internet companies at home and abroad have learned from IDM and occupied different business segments.

It can be said that the whole winter alliance still exists today.

Now, in the face of the rise of Polaris computer operating system, micro soft is likely to persuade other companies in the alliance, such as Internet, to jointly suppress Chenxing technology.

This is also what Lu Kun is most worried about.

Father and son talked for hours.

Through Lu Kun's narration, Lu yunqi finally understood the strength of the United States in the Internet industry and the interweaving of interests between industrial chains.

It can be said that it affects the whole body. What Chenxing technology will face is not just a micro soft company.

Because of this, Lu yunqi's fighting spirit was even more inspired.

At first, IDM made chips and controlled the whole computer chip market.

Chenxing technology must get involved in the semiconductor industry. It seems that its two advanced technology cards must be used.

Operating system and chip have always been inseparable.

Any chip architecture system has a corresponding operating system to provide software ecological support.

In addition to the winter alliance firmly dominating the PC market, the mobile phone market is also dominated by the AAA Alliance (Android system + fruit system + aim chip).

In addition to these two combinations, in the field of server and high-end host, there is also the combination system of RISC architecture chip and UNIX system, and the winter alliance is gradually encroaching on this field.

The copyright of UNIX system belongs to Bell Labs in the United States. Before being divided by antitrust F, Bell Labs belonged to att, a giant company in the United States.

Early UNIX is cheap or free licensing, and then the fee licensing is restored. Linvx was inspired by the influence of UNIX and was born later.

As the oldest system, UNIX and the UNIX system based on it occupy a huge share in the market of workstations, servers, minicomputers, mainframes, supercomputers and so on.

The mad computer operating system and IOS system developed by fruit company also belong to the type of UNIX system.

The rest of the market share is occupied by the open source Linux system, and some are occupied by the win server system developed by micro soft company.

Linux is a completely open source operating system, but strictly speaking, it should be an open source system kernel, which can be modified by any individual and organization, including commercial applications.

Therefore, at present, most self-developed systems developed by individuals, enterprises and institutions all over the world are developed on the Linux kernel.

Including Google's Android, which is also developed based on the Linux kernel.

Among the world's most famous supercomputer operating systems, Bell Labs' UNIX system, Microsoft's win system and fruit's mad system all belong to the United States. Linux open source system is the only choice for most independent developers.

Of course, in addition to the above four operating systems, there are also four mainstream chip architectures with the widest application range in the world.

The first is the x86 architecture, which belongs to the FA Zha instruction set. It is developed by the American Internet company. At present, it is basically no longer authorized externally and occupies an absolute dominant position in the field of personal computers.

Then there is the aim architecture, which belongs to the reduced instruction set. It is developed by aim company in Yingguo. With the help of Android and fruit, the two mobile phone systems have been fully popularized and occupy a dominant position in the field of mobile chips.

The authorization mode of the architecture is charging, and there are three different levels of authorization modes.

The a series mobile phone chips developed by the fruit company, the fire dragon chip under Gaotong, the curved Lianfa chip, the hunter chip developed by sansang and the Haisi Peninsula under Warwick all adopt the aim architecture.

The third is the MIPs chip architecture, which belongs to the reduced instruction set and belongs to the United States. However, the operation of their company is not ideal, so the MIPs architecture has declined.

Therefore, at present, China's Linglong core adopts MIPS chip architecture. If they hadn't been doing it all the time, the commercial development of MIPs would have stopped long ago.

The fourth is the risc-v architecture, which also belongs to the reduced instruction set, but its developer is also the enlarged Berkeley branch of the United States, which also belongs to the United States.

Risc-v architecture itself, like the Linux kernel, is completely open source. Any individual and organization can modify it, including commercial.

In view of a series of control reasons in the United States, most mainstream operating systems and chip architectures are unwilling to open authorization to China, or stop authorization at any time, resulting in neck sticking at any time.

China has also made some solutions, that is, domestic systems based on Linux kernel and domestic chips based on MIPS and risc-v chip architecture, so as to replace the situation of "lack of core and soul".

At present, several domestic systems, including the "spare wheel" Hongmeng developed by Warwick, use the Linux system kernel.

In terms of chip architecture, domestic enterprises have started to move towards risc-v architecture. Yudu has also issued relevant support policies to support the development and application of risc-v chip.

Risc-v has become the best choice to replace aim architecture in the fields of mobile chip, Internet of things, vehicle chip and so on.

Just like the honeypot semiconductor invested by Ali, which focuses on the risc-v field, it also released a chip to the market not long ago.

Many car chip manufacturers have also begun to develop and design risc-v architecture chips.

However, in the field of computer chips, several domestic chip manufacturers have their own choices.

On the whole, the semiconductor industry in China has focused on the rsic-v architecture, but the wind is very strong.

Because once the United States imposes some sanctions, China's chip industry will receive great setbacks again.

The best way to break this dilemma is to start from scratch.

But now, Lu yunqi's Chenxing technology has solved the problem of "soul" in the field of domestic computer operating systems.

In addition, in the field of basic software, Chenxing technology has a great layout, and breakthroughs have been made in operating system, database, middleware, office software, domestic assembly language and so on.

It is for these reasons that Chenxing technology has won the support and love of domestic netizens.

The emergence of the Polaris system of Chenxing technology means that the software ecology problem most worried by the semiconductor industry has been solved.

With the support of Polaris system and time simulator, Chenxing technology can provide ecological support for any domestic chip in China.

The problem that domestic chips do not have system support and rich software can be used no longer exists.

This is Lu yunqi's courage to directly enter the chip industry and the field of mobile operating system.

More importantly, from the two advanced technology cards presented by the previous system, as long as it is produced by the system, it must be high-quality products.

So he believes that as long as he uses another advanced technology card, the problem of the chip can be solved.

Many enterprises in China will undergo earth shaking changes.

the second day.

As soon as Lu yunqi arrived at the company, the public relations planning department submitted him a piece of information.

The basic situation is roughly the same as that analyzed by Lu Kun yesterday, so Lu yunqi has a general understanding of the world and China's semiconductor industry.

"To solve the problem of domestic chips, we must first make sufficient preparations, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential!"

Lu yunqi was whispering in his heart.

At the same time, the advanced technology card in the system space is used first.

This time he directly used the field of chips. He didn't know until he read the introduction on the advanced technology card.

To build a chip, you need to go through four important steps.

"First, the chip architecture, whether self-developed or using the architecture of other companies, with the chip architecture, we can design the chip, which is the premise!"

Of course, for Lu Yun, it must be self-developed. You can't control your lifeline in the hands of others.

"The second is chip design. With the chip architecture, we can remember the chip design and develop versions with different functions and models on this basis."

"Third, the tool of chip design, which is commonly known as EDA software in the industry!"

It is worth mentioning here that Du Niang's explanation of EDA: EDA is electronic design automation. To design chips, EDA software must be used for auxiliary design, analog circuits, etc. without EDA software, it is like cooking without rice!

"Fourth, after the chip design is completed, it is necessary to carry out the streaming car market. At this moment, the most important link appears. If you want to make a chip, you need to use a lithography machine!"

In the production process, in addition to the lithography machine, it is no wonder that there are a series of breakthroughs, such as wafer, photoresist and so on.

But the lithography machine is definitely the biggest stumbling block in the semiconductor industry!

So here comes the question....

Lu yunqi now has only one advanced technology card.

Just redeemed the chip, how should this lithography machine solve it?
