Recently, a teenager has topped the hot search. His name is Zuo Pengfei. In December, Zuo Pengfei, a 2014 graduate from Wuhan Optoelectronics National Research Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, accepted a job at Huawei With the offer of the "Genius Plan", you can get the highest annual salary of 2 million upon graduation.
Zuo Pengfei signed a contract with Huawei
In addition to Huawei, many large companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Sangfor have extended an olive branch to him, and some companies have even offered him services. With an annual salary of 3 million, why is Zuo Pengfei so awesome? Because in the history of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zuo Pengfei is also a very eye-catching name.
Zuo Pengfei was born in 1992. In 2010, Zuo Pengfei was admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology from Suizhou No. 1 Middle School, majoring in computer science. When he was an undergraduate, he attended classes step by step, occasionally played games, went out to play, and played basketball. In 2014, when he faced the choice of employment for the first time, Zuo Pengfei suddenly discovered that his abilities and experience horizons were far from expected. In and out. At this time, there happened to be a place for a direct doctorate (without master's degree), and Zuo Pengfei was admitted to the direct doctorate. During the doctoral stage, he studied computer science and technology at the Wuhan National Research Center for Optoelectronics.
Zuo Pengfei’s doctoral supervisor is the famous Professor Hua Yu. Professor Hua is mainly engaged in cloud computing, data centers, machine learning, network storage and big data analysis systems.
When Zuo Pengfei was in school, he followed his tutor and mainly engaged in research in this direction. His main research direction was non-volatile memory systems. Non-volatile memory is a new storage medium. The use of this storage medium in traditional computers will cause some new problems, such as durability, consistency and security. Zuo Pengfei’s research work is to propose new technology to solve these problems.
Zuo Pengfei is fourth from the right
During his schooling, Zuo Pengfei published more than 10 high-level papers as the first author, among which, he published in OSDI'2018 and MICRO'2018 The papers on the conference respectively became the first top computer operating system conference (OSDI/SOSP) paper and the first computer architecture top conference (ISCA/MICRO/HPCA/ASPLOS) paper in the history of Huake. They were respectively implemented in the fields of computer operating systems and architecture. It was the first breakthrough in the history of Huake; the paper published at MICRO'2019 achieved another breakthrough at MICRO, the top architecture conference.
OSDI is one of the top academic conferences in computer science, and MICRO is one of the top academic conferences on computer architecture. Papers have been accepted by these two conferences, and their gold content even exceeds some of the top international journals in the scientific community. The difficulty is equivalent to publishing in journals such as Nature/Science/Cell in the field of biology and medicine. Having so many high-quality papers can be said to be the dream of countless researchers in the field of systems and is out of reach. Zuo Pengfei's achievements during his doctoral studies were higher than those of many university professors.
While in school, Zuo Pengfei collaborated with others and already owned a number of patents, such as "an SDN-based in-network data deduplication method and system." This invention made full use of SDN control With the advantages of forwarding separation, scalability, and programmability, as well as the advantages of deduplication technology in reducing storage costs and network overhead, it realizes redundancy elimination services within the network, which not only reduces the storage overhead at the destination, but also greatly It greatly reduces the network link load, reduces user response time, and provides greater flexibility to achieve traffic engineering goals. It is a compromise between source-side deduplication and destination-side deduplication.
There is also the "nearest neighbor query method based on data distribution awareness in cloud storage systems", which uses the principal components of the data as the projection vector of local sensitive hashing, and further quantifies the hash function of each hash function in the index table. The weight and the cutting interval size of the hash function in each hash table are adjusted to ensure the accuracy of nearest neighbor queries while reducing the number of hash tables required to build the index, thereby reducing the space overhead of the hash table.
As well as "a real-time picture sharing method and system in a natural disaster environment" and many other patents.
Zuo Pengfei once summarized why he was able to achieve such results: "It is easy to fail. If you are not good in one aspect, you will fail. But if you want to succeed, you must be strong in all aspects. This includes execution Strength, willpower, thoughts and vision, learning ability, etc.”
Zuo Pengfei once answered a reporter: Where are the geniuses? I spend all the time other people play games in the lab. His daily schedule is like this. He gets up at 8 a.m., goes to the laboratory before 8:30, studies until lunch at 11:30, and enters the laboratory from 2 to 5:30 in the afternoon.
, after dinner, I am in the laboratory from 6:30 to 9:30 in the evening, and sometimes I stay until more than 10 o'clock before going back to the dormitory to sleep. Seven days a week, almost every day for five years.
"Just like some people like to play the piano and others like to sing, doing scientific research is my passion and my lifelong career."
"A high-level doctoral graduate , you need to be the leading expert in a field, and everyone will think of your name when mentioning this field."
In this year’s autumn recruitment, Huawei *** conducted three interviews. The first two were comprehensive interviews with technical experts, HR supervisors and department heads. After that, the department recommended him to participate in the "Genius Youth" ”, directly interviewed by the CTO (Chief Technology Officer). Soon, Zuo Pengfei received an acceptance reply.
Huawei’s “Genius Youth” project is a project initiated by Ren Zhengfei to attract top talents with top challenges and top salaries. Ren Zhengfei once mentioned in a speech within Huawei’s EMT (Operation Management Team), We will recruit 20-30 "genius boys" from all over the world. "These 'genius boys' are like 'loaches', infiltrating our organization and activating our team."
It is reported that the wages of the "genius teenagers" recruited by Huawei are paid according to the annual salary system, which is divided into three grades. Zuo Pengfei received the highest grade. So the salary is an annual salary of 2.01 million.
Zuo Pengfei will make technological innovations and breakthroughs in Huawei Cloud’s storage pre-research department and conduct some forward-looking research. Zuo Pengfei said that the reason he chose to join Huawei was to be able to solve more practical problems and experience the process from theoretical research to serving users. Promote the development of China's computer industry and let technology benefit everyone.
It can be said that with such profound patent knowledge, no matter what happens to Zuo Pengfei, his life has actually gone further than others.
