Technological Supremacy Chapter 425: The supercomputer Kunlun is online!
Luo Jia has not started his speech yet, but just wrote down the technical diagram and the characteristics of the neural computing network, which has already caused a sensation in the audience. After all, most of the people present are industry experts with good eyesight. Extraordinary design.
"Mr. Luo, are you joking? Breaking through the supercomputing pole and building a regional computing network is too fantastical. Can you break through the restrictions on computing management and data transmission?"
A person who looked like a professor stood up. In the capital city, if you want to say that the strongest computer information majors are Peking University Turing and Tsinghua Yao Qizhi, the person who asked the question was the Turing class of Peking University. person in charge.
The spirit of the so-called straight man of steel is to stop talking nonsense, and anyone who doesn't believe it will directly throw data in the face.
Luo Jia waved his hand, and even some colleagues in the company presented the results of yesterday's test in the form of data to everyone present.
"What you are seeing now is our first round of test results." Luo Jia said lightly: "I need to remind everyone that the final result is not the limit, but the processor and server resources we have at hand, plus our There are only so many resources for partners."
"Five...five trillion billion times!"
"My God, this is exactly forty times that of Tianhe-3!"
"You mean, if there are more processors and servers, you can continue to push the limit!?"
The scene exploded in an instant. People were circulating the materials quickly, their eyes full of shock. They seemed to have suddenly forgotten the difference between the conference room and the vegetable market, and shouted loudly regardless of their image.
Some people excitedly picked up the phone and wanted to call their teachers or colleagues to report this amazing discovery. When they found that there was no signal, they remembered that this was an important technical evaluation meeting for the national team, and the signal had been blocked long ago.
After a brief period of confusion, the experts and scholars finally calmed down and looked at Luo Jia with questioning eyes, hoping that he could give an explanation.
Of course, Luo Jia explained that the difficulty of a super-large neural computing network lies in resource management. After all, there are millions of processors, how to allocate resources and bandwidth, and specify what each processor needs to calculate. The task, how to reorganize data after performing calculations, has always been the most serious challenge in the scientific community.
To put it simply, the problem with supercomputers is not computing power, but management and execution. The technology from the Golden Dome is enough to solve all these problems, and it controls the entire neural computing network in a more intelligent way.
Deliberately clearing his throat, Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "The progress our country has made over the years is largely due to our tradition of concentrating our efforts on big things, and the same is true for supercomputers. Peking University's supercomputer and Tsinghua's Is there a difference between supercomputers? Why should they be separated? Why can’t they form a more powerful supercomputer for students from Peking University and Tsinghua University to use together?”
"After all, the significance of supercomputing is not to play games, but to use powerful computing power to solve those really difficult explorations and calculations, such as the famous project to find aliens."
"As the first generation of distributed computing system, the project to search for aliens can be said to be very successful. As long as you download a screen saver of the project, you can use the spare time of your personal computer to help the project perform calculations. Its peak computing power, Exceeding the world's most powerful supercomputer."
"However, the cruel facts tell us that although tens of millions of users around the world have contributed their own personal computers to form an unprecedentedly powerful supercomputer, the search for aliens has only completed about one million projects so far. One-tenth of the calculation."
"The harsher truth is that with the enhancement of human beings' ability to obtain cosmic data, the total database of the project to find aliens is still expanding rapidly. It can be carried on within a certain period of time, maybe ten thousand years, maybe countless ten thousand years.”
"It is not difficult to see from this that as long as human beings want to move forward, the demand for computing power will never end. Computing power is always as high as possible, and the neural computing network is the solution to computing power. The ultimate answer to power needs."
"Now we use graphene wafers and 0.1nm laser etching technology. In the future, we have mastered more advanced quantum technology. This kind of neural computing network can still be used. It is a truly cross-age Technology can be used from now to a long, long time in the future.”
"I am here to make a suggestion that Huaxia should abandon the competition in the quantity of supercomputing, and instead compete in quality, concentrate on doing big things, and build a capacity that is large enough to be used by scientists across the country. In the true sense, supercomputing Mother!"
Speaking of this, everything is already very clear. The neural computing network belongs to real-time distributed computing and is the ultimate evolution of traditional distributed computing.
In the past distributed computing, the data needs to be packaged and distributed to different computing terminals. After the calculation is completed, the data package is returned to the server, re-decoded, the calculation result is verified, and finally reassembled and returned to the data body.
Anyway, the process is very long-winded. About half of the computing power is wasted in the process of non-stop subpackaging, packaging, unpacking, and reorganization.
The neural computing network originating from the golden dome does not need subcontracting at all. All the computers entering this network are all a whole. , and become tightly connected like a nervous system, they do not distinguish between each other, and distribute computing power on demand.
For example, Huawei's team is the hardest working, supercomputing is often at full capacity, and the computing power is not enough. At this time, the neural network will automatically allocate computing power to Huawei, and these temporarily allocated computing power may come from not far away The Guangzhou center may also come from the Lhasa supercomputing center thousands of kilometers away. It doesn’t matter. Anyway, after the neural network is formed, all civilian supercomputers in China will become a whole, a machine that surpasses the times, and makes all scientists crazy. The presence.
Star Technology cannot do this kind of big move, so the national team has to go out, because there are too many interests to be coordinated, major supercomputing centers, provincial data centers, university data centers, and the last thing to get through Alibaba Cloud and so on of private institutions.
It is impossible for such a meeting to produce results on the spot. The national team's think tank and the higher-ups have to discuss the plan, the specific process and details. In fact, even Luo Jia doesn't know about it. After all, his current identity is just a businessman.
In the next two days, Luo Jia and An Ran were so busy that they were summoned by various big bosses in turn. If it is a dragon, he will coil up, and if it is a tiger, he will lie down.
As for the fact that Luo Jia is busy and doesn't even have time to meet Ye Wuchen, that's not the case, after all, time is like a girl's chest, even if it is a natural airport, there will always be time to squeeze it. of.
One of the tenets of Luo Jia's life is to never be a licking dog, so although he misses a little in his heart, he will not take the initiative in action. Luo Jia didn't serve him when he went down to earth.
Things about the national team are always very troublesome. After several rounds of explanations with high-level executives and think tanks, Luo Jia and An Ran were exhausted and prepared to return to Shanghai. They chose to do high-speed rail.
Who would have expected the reply to come so quickly? As soon as the train left the capital, Professor Ouyang and Secretary Lu called ~IndoMTL.com~ to tell him the good news that the national team plans to launch a large-scale test, but the name is not going to be called The mother of supercomputing, the high-level executives feel a little low, after all, it is not an American drama, why do so many mothers.
Kunlun, it is said that the name was decided by the top management.
The neural computing network is not a simple project. It involves the re-layout and networking of supercomputing centers in various places, so it did not catch up with the National Day gift. When the supercomputer Kunlun was officially launched for the first time, the time was already ten. mid month.
October 11th is destined to be recorded in the annals of history forever, because it is the day when the supercomputer Kunlun first appeared in the eyes of the world.
The University of Tennessee in North America, the headquarters of the top500 supercomputers, received the news of the launch of this giant immediately. However, they were shocked by the long string of zeros in the icon of Kunlun's peak computing power. Tender outer burnt.
"Fuck, it's fake!"
"Damn! Falsification has always been the tradition of those Chinese people, it is impossible! The peak computing power must have been reported wrongly, at least three zeros were reported too much!"
"Liu Tao! You are from Huaxia, call your hometown immediately and ask them why they made such fake data? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at by their peers?"
"Shame! It's a shame to the science and technology world! It's too exaggerated, even a lunatic wouldn't dare to create such unreliable data."
The computer center at the University of Tennessee was boiling. The scientists were very angry, and the consequences were serious. A Huaxia graduate student named Liu Tao also looked confused when faced with doubts from many foreigners.
Peak computing power, one trillion trillion operations per second?
Before the students opened their mouths, Liu Tao blushed, because even he himself couldn't believe it was true.
