Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2202 Chip Defects

The pilot was a woman, and she handed over the relevant documents and electronic lock of the helicopter to Luo Hua.

Luo Hua handed it over to Niu Xiaoqiang, and then she smiled and waved goodbye to Niu Xiaoqiang, and boarded another military helicopter with the pilot on a rope ladder, and quickly disappeared into the night sky.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't delay, and went downstairs to order Xie Jun to return.

At 10:30 in the evening, Niu Xiaoqiang returned home, chatted with Kailinna for a while, and then went into the room to rest.

The next day he got up very early, and after exercising, Niu Xiaoqiang washed up and had breakfast.

Then he drove to the Boston Capitol and continued to be busy with programming.

Miss No. [-] is obviously a little absent-minded today, and always dozes off when she is working.Seeing this, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help asking: "Miss No. [-], did you not rest well last night?"

Miss No. [-] saw that there was no one around, so she whispered, "I was busy doing math problems last night, and I was so busy until three o'clock in the morning that I couldn't solve the problem."

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "What kind of math problem is it so difficult?"

Miss No. [-] handed a small notebook to Niu Xiaoqiang: "This is the question."

Niu Xiaoqiang opened the notebook and looked at the problem, and then at the problem-solving notes left by Miss No. [-].After reading it, he chuckled: "This question is actually not difficult. The reason why you didn't solve it is because there is a problem with your thinking."

At this point, Niu Xiaoqiang picked up the pen on the table, and continued to write while writing: "This question should be thought beyond this direction, as long as the two calculation formulas are converted, the result can be obtained."

Miss No. [-] immediately came to the front and carefully watched what Niu Xiaoqiang wrote. When Niu Xiaoqiang finished writing, she couldn't help exclaiming: "This is really a wonderful idea! Only a genius like you can think of it!"

Big Robert, who works in the inner office, couldn't help but think to himself when he heard this: Junior is really good at picking up girls so easily. Unlike me, I still haven't been able to catch Mona after so long. They are also human. , Why is the gap so big?

Big Robert is also a genius, but his talent only needs to be reflected in computers, unlike Niu Xiaoqiang who is an all-rounder.He was somewhat jealous of Niu Xiaoqiang's luck.After secretly slandering, Big Robert went on to write the program.

Not long after, Professor Watson suddenly said, "Stop for a moment, there seems to be something wrong here."

Big Robert stopped immediately and looked at Professor Watson curiously: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Professor Watson turned his computer screen in one direction, then pointed to a piece of code on the screen and replied: "This code seems to be incompatible with the main frame."

Upon hearing this, Big Robert immediately ordered: "Teacher, please send me the code, and I will test it."

Professor Watson nodded, and sent the code to Big Robert through the LAN.Big Robert immediately conducted a compatibility test, and found that Professor Watson was right, this code was indeed incompatible with the main framework.

Big Robert's face showed surprise. All these codes were written by him, and the main framework of the program was also discussed and finalized by him and Niu Xiaoqiang. Wrong, and that being the case, how on earth did this happen?

Big Robert checked carefully, but failed to find the crux of the problem.He could only save this program into a spare computer, and then took the spare computer to find Niu Xiaoqiang.

Niu Xiaoqiang was talking about math problems with Miss No. [-]. When he saw Big Robert coming out with a spare computer, he knew something must be wrong.

Miss No. [-] also understood it at a glance. She hurriedly put away her notebook and gave up the seat to Big Robert.

When Big Robert was describing the problem to Niu Xiaoqiang, Miss No. [-] took out her work notebook and recorded every detail.This is her duty, and the records she made will be kept on file for future reference.

Niu Xiaoqiang was also very surprised after listening to Robert's description of the problem. In front of Miss No. [-], he used a spare computer for testing.

At the beginning, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn’t see any clues just like Robert. When he carried out the fourth test, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said: “We patronize the test program and ignore the computer hardware factor. , no wonder the problem was not found.”

Big Robert understood Niu Xiaoqiang's meaning as soon as he heard it, and he asked in a low voice: "You mean that the incompatibility of the programs is due to the defects of the computer hardware?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile: "The main problem lies in the chip. The computers here all use Intel chips. There are defects in the chip architecture. If it is an ordinary computer program, there will be no problems, but we are writing The most important thing is a very large-scale tree structure program. This kind of program needs to have multi-party relevance and compatibility. Intel's chip obviously did not expect that someone would write this kind of program, so it ignores programs that exceed a certain number of relevance and compatibility. algorithm, and that's the crux of the problem."

When Big Robert heard this, he turned around and told Miss No. [-] who was taking notes: "Miss No. [-], please contact Intel and let them make up for this defect as soon as possible, otherwise we will write the program. There is no way to use it then.”

Miss No. [-] was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "This problem should be solved by you from the software side. What's the problem with the hardware supplier?"

It’s no wonder she would say such a thing, it’s really because computer hardware manufacturers are so good these days, and software suppliers have always compromised with them, and there has never been a precedent for hardware suppliers to compromise with software suppliers. .

The most representative of these is IBM. Once IBM's computer hardware architecture is designed, it will never be modified.If the computer software is not compatible with the hardware, they ask the software vendor to make a compromise.

Since the right to speak in the computer market is in the hands of IBM, no software supplier has ever dared to challenge IBM. If IBM asks them to modify it, they must modify it.

Otherwise, as long as IBM does not use your software, you will immediately lose the software market and go bankrupt.

Under the leadership of IBM, the hardware manufacturers are very arrogant. Because of this, Miss No. [-] will respond in this way after listening to Big Robert's words.

If it were someone else, they would probably back off, but Niu Xiaoqiang and Big Robert are different. They are strong enough to challenge hardware manufacturers directly.
