As we all know, computers don't just rely on hardware, and for 32-channel computing centers, software computing strategies also play a key role.

How to get the most out of the 32 processors is a very technical question.

Improper disposal often leads to a situation of "one core is difficult, and many cores are watching".

And multi-processor and multi-core processor are essentially for the purpose of scientifically allocating the computing power of processors or computing cores.

In this regard, Wang Anran's professionalism obviously played a great role.

In 9102, although there is a slight gap between AMD Ryzen processors and Intel in single-core performance, they are completely crushing Intel in terms of multi-core processing power.

The reason for the aggregation is that it is due to the excellent ZEN microprocessor architecture, and secondly, it is naturally the design concept of scientific parallel computing.

As a simple example, if 32 people go to plant trees, a total of 320 trees need to be completed, and the ideal state is that one person is assigned 10 trees, finished, and the work is finished.

But in fact, thirty-two people do not belong to each other, the system assigns tasks, 32 people sit down and discuss, and finally unanimously agree that Xiao Ming, the most handsome, will work, and the others will be cheerleaders for Xiao Ming.

......

And the solution is to choose a leading brother among these 32 people, and give the task of taking the lead brother, assign tasks to the remaining thirty-one brothers, each person receives ten trees, and the excess is distributed to ten people, so that it is almost the ideal state.

But at this time, the problem came again, and the eldest brother who took the lead found that this tree is big and small, some need several people to plant together, and some people can plant many quickly.

So he has to think of a way, how to make these people all work by work, and this method is the core of parallel computing.

Of course, when it comes to planting trees, there is nothing to do with each other's tasks. And 32 people make a dish together, that is the new model, which involves a problem of sequential execution.

You can't cook the vegetables first, and then pick up and wash the vegetables after they are cooked!

That's a mess.

Wang Anran applied AMD's design ideas on multi-core parallel computing to 32-channel parallel computers, and he did not choose to define one of the processors as the leading big brother, but redesigned a task controller.

Giving full play to the advantages of single instruction and multiple data streams, each processor can access the memory separately under the control chip, and the built-in bus communication between the processors can operate in a unified architecture mode in multi-task collaborative processing.

The results of the tests showed that it was technically feasible and that the performance was superior.

Darobes's confidence also comes from this, since he dares to stand here and fight with IBM, he is naturally very confident in the performance of his own products.

And Darobes is not the only one who is equally confident.

Mr. Bourgeois, a technical engineer at IBM Deep Blue Supercomputer, expressed dissatisfaction.

Today, he also came to the Boston Electronics Industry Exhibition Center to introduce his computing center to electronics enthusiasts from all over the world.

Unexpectedly, the future technology from China challenged IBM.

What is the dignity of IBM in the field of semiconductors?

Surrounded by the melon-eating masses in the United States, Bourgeois agreed to their request at the first time.

Coincidentally, the top configuration of the two uses 32 power 64 processors, plus 1 G DDR memory, in fact, thanks to IBM's good manufacturing process, the memory performance frequency authorized by the original Huaxin Technology to IBM can reach 200Mhz, which is significantly higher than the 166MhzDDR memory used by the future technology Quantum server.

However, for the DDR memory that appears in the sky, the bottleneck of the computer at this time is not the memory, the bus bandwidth of the power 604 processor is only 166Mhz, and no matter how high the memory frequency is, it is not very useful.

The two sides can be said to be standing on the same starting line.

IBM has its own separate power Unix system, while Future Technology is equipped with Huawei Software's latest Pangu 2.0 server system.

Fortunately, the program interface of both systems is a UNIX interface environment, so there is no problem of software compatibility.

How to compete? Darobes came up with a Doctor RU test software.

Bourgeois shook his head: "Mr. Darobes, we don't know about this software, we don't know if he has made special optimizations to the Quantum computer. ”

Darobes shrugged his shoulders, and a man in a black suit with somewhat gray hair walked out.

As soon as Bourgeois saw the arrival, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Dr. Kennekita, why are you here?" ”

"Dr. Bourgeois," he said, "I designed the software you are questioning, and we all need a software that judges the performance of computers, right?

You can see him on the network of the American Computing Center, and if you have any comments on its source code, I think, I'll be happy to accept it. ”

"Of course, well......"

Bourgeois didn't have much to say, Kennekita's prestige in the world of electronic science gave him full credibility in his words, and it also showed that everyone could look through the source code of the software.

For Bourgeois, of course, as long as it's not provided by Future Technology.

The audience, as well as the reporters, were already impatient, urging them to hurry up and conduct the test.

Bourgeois gentlemanly waved his right hand, signaling that future technology would come first.

Darobes was not modest, and picked up the Dortor RU software CD and put it in the CD-ROM drive, and the software was quickly installed.

Darobes opened the software, checked the CPU test, and clicked to start.

The next process is more boring, first the integer calculation, a series of unit progress bars, and then the double-precision floating-point calculation......

During this time, the audience also began to discuss.

"Kars, who do you think will win?"

"I don't need to ask, it's definitely IBM, but I'm still very interested in this futuristic technology, chess game. ”

"Yes, as in science fiction, computers can think. ”

"Will there come a time when computers can also generate a sense of independent units?"

Darobes saw that the wind was bent off the field, and everyone didn't seem to pay much attention to the results of the competition, is it a matter of course to lose to IBM?

As a result of the test, Quantum scored 288,700 points.

"Dr. Bourgeois, it's your turn. ”

Bourgeois took the disc and tossed out a tuxedo like a proud rooster amid the cheers of the audience.

As with the Quantum server, after installing the software, Bourgeois checked the CPU test and clicked start.

Fifteen minutes later, under the expectation of the crowd eating melons, the test results appeared on the screen.

274,900 points!

How could it be! IBM lost?

Bourgeois looked at Kennekita incredulously, and he asked to see if the lower the score, the better the computer.

"No, Monsieur Bourgeois......"

Kennekita's answer sent Bourgeois's heart to rock bottom.

And the discussion in the audience made Bourgeois's face hot.

"IBM lost?"

"Yes, although there is only a gap of more than 10,000 points!"

"I now doubt the fairness of this competition. ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the software developed by Dr. Kennekita. ”

......

Kennekita shook his head, he could assure that although he had charged $300,000 for the design of Future Technology, the software he had designed was definitely based on the purpose of fair testing.

So he has a clear conscience.

It's just that to his surprise, he also used IBM's CPU, and IBM actually lost, losing to Future Technology at home......

Bourgeois is also reluctant, until now, he is still full of confidence in IBM's technology, so what's the problem?

"You must have overclocked your CPU?"

Darobes shook his head and said: "Everyone, the Quantum server is facing the international market, today we are very happy to see that the Quantum server has the strength of not weaker than its peers, and the purpose of our future technology is to provide the best technology services for the world......"

Bourgeois realized that the argument was pointless at this point, since the other party's products were facing the global market.

Moreover, the test software is open source, so such tests will happen many times in the future, will technology falsify this risk in the future?

Obviously, as long as you are not mentally retarded, you will not make this mistake.

And Darobes is not just trying to compete with IBM today.

In fact, he didn't even mention the results of today's competition, and in the end, Darobes succeeded in directing the American melon-eating masses to the topics they cared about.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have just seen this chess program, which is an interesting exploration of artificial intelligence by future technology.

Here, we solemnly extend an invitation to the world chess champion, Mr. Kasparov, to prove to all mankind that it is the superiority of machines or human intelligence......"

Rumble!

The audience instantly blew up.

"Computers are going to challenge human intelligence?"

"I think Kasparov will definitely agree, he will use his wits to smash the machine to pieces. ”

"I feel like I'm going to boil......"

At the same time, a team sent by Future Technology came to Russia and had an interview with Kasparov.

"Mr. Kasparov, Future Technology has prepared a prize of $1 million for this game, and even if you lose, you can get a reward of $300,000. ”

......

The next day, Kasparov announced to the media that he had promised an invitation to Future Technology to fight for the defense of human dignity.

On this day, the eyes of the world are focused on this contest between man and machine.

And Beluk, the chief engineer of IBM, pushed the computer on the desk.

"The man-machine war is IBM's idea, and we have been preparing for it for two years, God, why is the protagonist of the current one, the technology of the future. ”

Wang Anran, on the other hand, looked at the newspaper in front of him with great interest, and the future technology was in the limelight in the United States, which naturally attracted the attention of the domestic media.

The people who eat melons generally say that the future of science and technology, Yes!
