Chapter 483 - Supercomputing Problem (Three Changes)

After getting acquainted, Nie Rong nodded to Jiang Bo, and there were no extra words.

However, Dean Zhang introduced Jiang Bo, "Nie Rong, like you, went to work after graduating from university, but two years later found that his academic qualifications and knowledge were not enough, so he returned to school to continue his studies, and got a doctorate, and now he has opened a software company in Yanjing, and he is already worth more than one billion."

His experience is worth learning and learning from. ”

Nie Rong smiled: "Dean, you have a good reputation. ”

Is this old man still mentioning this matter when he eats, although he has some good intentions, Jiang Bo can't help but cry and laugh, but he can only nod his head.

At the dinner table, Dean Zhang and Nie Rong quickly put the topic away from Jiang Bo.

Halfway through the meal, Dean Zhang suddenly said, "Nie Rong, I remember that your Xinrong company is preparing to build a supercomputing center, right......?"

Nie Rong coughed, "Dean, stop, I know what you want to say, but you better don't say it." ”

Dean Zhang's face was expressionless when he heard this: "I haven't said it yet, you know what I want to say?"

Nie Rong smiled bitterly: "Alas, Dean, let's be honest, Principal Han has already mentioned this matter to me before, but I really can't help it."

Our company wants to build a supercomputing center, but I am not the only one who has the final say, and I have many partners.

And the supercomputing in the school is worth nearly a billion, and we don't have that much budget. ”

Dean Zhang said: "The price can be discussed slowly." ”

Nie Rong said: "In addition to the price, the computing speed is also a big problem, and the supercomputing center that our company is going to build is used to study AI running data, and the peak speed will not exceed 5000TFlops."

However, the peak speed of supercomputing in the school is ten times that of our target supercomputer, which is comparable to Tianhe-2.

Our budget is only 200 million, and the school agrees to give us 200 million yuan worth of supercomputing?"

Dean Zhang: "......"

You think beautifully, a billion things, 200 million for you, how is it possible, even if you own your son.

Seeing that Dean Zhang was speechless, Nie Rong continued: "To be honest, Dean, even if the school really sold me for 200 million, I wouldn't dare to ask for it.

The current electricity bill is not low, and the supercomputer operation in the school is tens of millions of electricity bills a year, which is too burdensome, and the maintenance costs in the later stage will be millions a year. ”

Dean Zhang was dissatisfied: "It's annoying for you to talk like this, why don't you want to sell 200 million to you, you still think it's too electricity-consuming?"

The energy consumption of supercomputing is calculated according to the number of computing nodes, and if you don't need that much, don't turn them all on.

If you open a one-tenth or one-hundredth of a computing node, won't the electricity bill be correspondingly less?"

Nie Rong looked resentful: "Dean, twisted melon, it's not sweet." ”

Dean Zhang: "It doesn't matter if he's sweet or not, as long as he can quench his thirst." ”

Nie Rong was about to cry: "Okay, okay, I understand the difficulties of the school, but the supercomputer in the school is really not in our company's plan."

In this case, in order to apologize, I will donate 10 million yuan in my own name to support the school's education and research projects. ”

When Dean Zhang heard this, he seemed to have suffered a loss, and sighed: "Alas, since I can't move you, I won't be strong, and I will donate 10 million, you have a heart, thank you on behalf of the teachers and students of the school." ”

Nie Rong waved his hand and sneered: "This is what I should, you are too polite." ”

Dean Zhang frowned: "It's just a supercomputing thing, you have a wide range, you can help us ask and see if there are any companies that need that thing." ”

Nie Rong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't let him take over, he nodded hurriedly and said, "That's no problem, but Dean, I'm wondering."

This is comparable to the supercomputing center of Tianhe-2, and it can be regarded as a weapon of the country, which belongs to the school's signboard, but why should the school rush to get rid of it?

It doesn't make sense. ”

Dean Zhang coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Supercomputing is a good thing, the computing speed is comparable to Tianhe-2, and the energy consumption ratio is even better than Tianhe-2.

But after it was actually built, we found out that we didn't need it at all.

We don't do the evolution of the Big Bang, nor do we do numerical simulations of neutrinos and dark matter, but only do some research on biomedicine and new materials, and we don't even involve cloud computing, weather forecasting, and big data.

Other universities in Yangcheng also have their own computer clusters, so they won't spend money to borrow our supercomputers at all.

Alas, so the supercomputer has been built for half a year, and the number of uses has not exceeded 100 times, and the total use time is less than 100 hours.

You say, what is this supercomputing center for?

It's useless, and if you think about it, you can only sell it. ”

Nie Rong couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that this was the case, "If you say so, the supercomputer in the school really didn't use the steel blade." ”

Dean Zhang said helplessly: "So, now the school leaders are also anxious, President Han has lost a lot of hair because of this......"

Jiang Bo couldn't help but interject at this time: "For hair loss, you can use hair growth lotion, hair growth lotion specializes in treating hair loss, and it is very effective." ”

Dean Zhang: "???"

Nie Rong: "......"

What are we talking about and what are you talking about?

Senior Brother Jiang, can we pee into a pot?

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, and neither of them spoke.

Jiang Bo said unhurriedly at this time: "I listened to it for a while, and I can understand it, dean, you mean that the school plans to transfer the supercomputing center, right?"

Dean Zhang: "That's right. ”

Jiang Bo: "Does it only include the hardware facilities of supercomputing, or does it include all the software systems?"

Dean Zhang smiled: "All of them, why are you kid asking this, is it possible that you have a way." ”

Jiang Bo thought for a moment and replied, "There is no road outside, but I want to buy it myself." ”

Dean Zhang: "???"

Nie Rong: "???"

Why do you buy a supercomputer, you don't want to buy a supercomputer to play games, right?

Nie Rong smiled: "Senior Brother Jiang is quite funny when he speaks. ”

Dean Zhang glared at Jiang Bo: "Don't be joking, you kid, I'm still worried." ”

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. ”

"Then do you know how much the school's supercomputer is worth?" Dean Zhang couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't it nearly a billion yuan, as long as the negotiation is completed and the contract is signed, the money can be sent to you today. Jiang Boman didn't care about the authentic words.

It's only a billion yuan, and Jiang still lacks that little money?

Dean Zhang: "......"

Seeing that Jiang Bo said so easily, for a while, Dean Zhang and Nie Rong were a little confused.
