Chapter 506 Thirty-five percent income distribution
After returning to the capital, Qin Xiaoke temporarily moved in with his assistant Fang Yongtang, and then moved back after Qin Ke and his wife returned to China.
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun became even busier. They almost put aside other topics and focused on the EDA topic.
They will be going abroad for nearly ten days. Both of them will seize the time to complete the EDA project at hand and make arrangements for follow-up research work to avoid affecting the progress of the entire team due to their departure.
Qin Ke is still responsible for writing the framework rules of each sub-module and the detailed weekly research and development plan. Ning Qingyun is responsible for writing advanced algorithms for the engineering library, but now she is also trying to write out algorithm ideas and then hand them over to
Leave it to Xu Qingyan’s team to refine and improve.
Now Xu Qingyan's EDA team has become more and more adaptable to the thinking style of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. Some higher-level algorithm engineers can even complete part of the algorithm work in the engineering library based on the algorithm ideas written by Ning Qingyun.
As for the rule refinement work of each sub-module, Qin Ke does not need to check and correct it again. It can be directly handed over to Qingning Intelligent Programming for code writing.
Generally speaking, as long as we proceed steadily according to the current schedule, it will not be a problem to launch a fully functional beta version in early September.
The most exciting thing is that recently, good news has come out from domestic chip fabs. One is that the U (graphics processor) chip has been successfully developed and entered into small batch production, and the other is the advanced "Fi N 1" chip developed by the company.
The tape-out and testing of process chips were successful, which announced that China already has the R&D and manufacturing technology for quasi-7nm chips.
Of course, the latter is just tape-out, which means that with such manufacturing capabilities in the laboratory, there is still a long way to go before real mass production and commercialization. Moreover, in terms of technical indicators, it can only be regarded as quasi-7nm, mainly focusing on
Low power consumption, there is still a performance gap of about 35% with the international mainstream 7nm chips.
But for Xu Qingyan’s EDA project, this is news worth celebrating. Xu Qingyan has quickly filed an application, requesting the test data of these two 7nm chips to improve the EDA on hand.
EDA involves process simulation, which requires massive data for verification. Previously, the EDA team only had 14nm chip test data provided by several domestic wafer factories. EDA's applicable module library can only support chips with 14nm and above processes.
good.
If we have 7nm test data in the future, we can directly use these data to add the process simulation module of 7nm chips to the applicable module library, which will extend the scope of application of domestic EDA to chip design of 7nm and above processes, and it can be applied at the same time.
Yu's design!
In order to get the data as soon as possible, Qin Ke also called Uncle Yang to explain the importance of the data and asked Uncle Yang to find ways to speed up the approval process.
Uncle Yang never thought that the results of the EDA team that Qin Ke joined would be so incredible. After hearing the blueprint he drew, he made the decision on the spot. After Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun came back from the United States and won the Cole Prize in Number Theory, they would definitely
I can see these data, and I also expressed that I will fully support the R&D work of the EDA team. If you need people, give people money, and if you need money, give money!
The only requirement is that a relatively complete EDA test version must be available before October.
No wonder Uncle Yang is so excited. There are actually dozens of scientific research teams working on EDA projects in China. Xu Qingyan's team is just one of the relatively key research groups, with more former Petal engineers joining. The rest have also applied for scientific research on this topic. The team also has the same petal semi-finished product EDA and supporting materials.
But more than half a year has passed, and astronomical amounts of money have been burned. The research and development progress of those teams is still slow, with only a few breakthroughs, and only small breakthroughs in some subdivisions. It is impossible to complete the large-scale integrated circuit design of chips. , simulation, verification and other whole processes.
Now I hear that the EDA team led by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun as "Mr. Q" is confident that it will realize the full-process design of 7nm chips in the near future as long as the data is obtained. How can Uncle Yang still sit still?
If such a full-process EDA can be successfully developed, even if it is only applicable to applications, it will allow him to hold his head high and high-spirited at the year-end national report conference, and read it out loud as the highlight of the year's work!
After hanging up the call with Qin Ke, Uncle Yang walked back and forth in the office several times. Thinking that the two of them were going abroad the day after tomorrow, he was a little worried about the safety of his two children. After pondering for a long time, he finally called via an encrypted line. I made a phone call and whispered a few words in a very respectful tone...
Qin Ke didn't know that after he talked to Uncle Yang, the security level for himself and Ning Qingyun's trip abroad had been quietly raised by two levels. He didn't know that countless people were behind the scenes so that they could go abroad safely and return safely. Busy all night long.
After ending the call, he was about to continue writing the detailed plan of the EDA project team when he unexpectedly received a call from Professor He Liangfu.
"Qin Ke, are you still at school?"
"Yes, in our math lab."
"I'm coming to find you."
Professor He has a vigorous and resolute attitude in his work. Ten minutes later, he knocked on the door of Qingning Mathematics Research Laboratory, also known as "Xiaowo No. 2".
Professor He brought good news. The two national-level scientific research projects he was working on were already in the process of completing their final reports.
And this is really just a process. The results of the two projects are so excellent that they far exceed the original project qualification requirements and even have the opportunity to be rated as the annual outstanding project.
"Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, these two topics will generate patents. When the patents are applied for, there is likely to be licensing income after deducting various fees. According to the distribution method of the transfer and transformation income of scientific research results here at the school, we The team is the one who completed the scientific and technological achievements and can get 70%. To be honest, there is no way to solve these two projects without you two. You guys have at least half of the credit, so..."
Professor He Liangfu handed over a revenue distribution agreement: "This is our team's project revenue distribution agreement. Please see if there are any problems. If you think it is missing, we can discuss it again."
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were shocked when they picked it up and saw that the team had a total of 70% of the income distribution rights, but they were given 35%, a full half!
Qin Ke hurriedly said: "No, no, Professor He, the proportion you assigned to us is too high. Without your previous research results, Qingjun and I would not have been able to complete mathematical modeling. And when we were doing mathematical modeling,
You also played a key role in the process, Qingyun and I can only get 10% at most."
He Liangfu shook his head and said firmly: "This is the result of discussions between me and everyone in the team. You see, everyone except you two has signed it."
No matter what Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun said, Professor He refused to give in. He also said: "If you don't take 35%, I will encounter difficulties in the subject in the future. How can I have the nerve to trouble you again? And... this time, you,
It saves my career and my family. In short, you must accept 35%!"
Professor He did not go into detail about his family affairs, but both Qin and Ke remembered what Professor Hu Qingfeng had said, and couldn't help but sigh that this old He was really a kind-hearted person who adhered to principles.
In the end, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had no choice but to agree.
Ning Qingyun copied the bank card number in the account number column, signed her name, and handed the pen to Qin Ke, only to see Qin Ke copy her bank card number casually.
Seeing what Ning Qingyun was about to say, Qin Ke smiled and said, "Just put it all into your account. It saves trouble. I'm too lazy to check my account."
Ning Qingyun pursed her pink red lips and nodded.
Seeing that both of them had signed, Professor He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Let's keep in touch more in the future. I'm really interested in computational materials science, and I'll ask you both for more advice in the future."
Looking at Professor He's retreating back, Qin Ke felt a little unable to calm down. He turned to ask Ning Qingyun: "Jun'er, how much profit do you think Lao He's patents on these two topics will eventually generate?"
Ning Qingyun really didn't know much about this aspect, she could only make a rough estimate.
The girl stretched out a white and slender little finger: "Ten million?"
There was an unconfident look on her pretty little face, and she was obviously not sure of her own estimation. She even blinked her beautiful red eyes, looking extremely cute.
Qin Ke couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her tender little face and said with a smile:
"The 'Coating Research on Carbon Nanotube Fibers' project can make carbon nanotubes burn without being ignited or deformed after 8 hours of high-temperature burning with an open flame. It is very attractive to aircraft shells, missiles and many other fields involving high-temperature aerobic environments.
Large, and 'relaxor ferroelectric thin film materials' also have a positive impact on energy storage battery manufacturing. Of course, there is still a long way to go before the laboratory's patents can be applied to actual industrial production and mass manufacturing, but light
These two patents can generate at least 100 million in patent licensing fees. This is just my conservative estimate. Even if the patent licensing fees end up being 30 to 500 million, I would not be too surprised."
Even though there is no shortage of money now, this huge amount still made Ning Qingyun's eyes widen: "Does Professor He know the value of these patents?"
Chapter completed!
