Henry's illness caused the world to be turbulent, and the stock prices of listed companies under Henry's name suddenly plummeted, which caused a series of domino reactions, causing global stocks to fall one after another!

Seven days later, the news of Henry's safe awakening came out, and global stock prices slowly recovered.

The Wall Street Journal wrote on its front page: "Henry Williams can't be sick, he's sick, and the whole Wall Street is going to shake!"

ABC TV invited two experts and professors to analyze the illness of Henry Williams, and one expert professor said in a serious manner: "If Henry Williams dies of illness, it will definitely cause a world economic crisis!!!"

Another expert professor nodded: "Yes, I agree with Professor Brown's words, what he said is very reasonable......"

……

After reading the newspaper, and then watching the TV news, Henry couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly, "These newspapers or experts and professors are alarmist, I'm just sick, how can it cause such a big movement!"

At this moment, after receiving Henry's order, Harrison immediately sent someone to collect the information of the world's best supercomputer research and development company. Harrison then compiled the information and sent it to Henry's email.

Henry was accompanied by two beautiful women, but he enjoyed the blessings of all.

"Helen, bring your notebook, Harrison just sent me an email!"

"Hmmm......"

Henry took the notebook from Helen's hand, turned it on, went to the email, and then saw the information sent by Harrison.

"Supercomputer Company Data Summary"

Henry clicked on it and browsed.

Henry browsed quickly, almost at a glance. After a minute or two, Henry finished reading the material.

This information was exactly what he remembered.

IBM occupies the leading position, followed by HP and Hewlett-Packard. The third is Cray!

According to this document, Cray controlled the entire supercomputer market for five years (1985-1990), but then thanks to IBM, the HP giants also developed in this direction, and seized market share by constantly swallowing up competitors. Cray has also been affected by this. Market share has dropped dramatically!

In Henry's memory, Cray was a very powerful company.

In the early years, it went bankrupt, and later developed, and it is very technically very good, and the supercomputer developed by Cray has more powerful performance and better energy efficiency ratio than IBM and HP! IBM may be the company that makes the most supercomputers, but Cray is definitely the best company that makes supercomputers!

Coincidentally, Cray once built a supercomputer called the Jaguar, which is the same name as Atari's new 64-bit machine, and was the world's fastest supercomputer between November 2009 and June 2010. It was later replaced by "Tianhe-1A". And in 2012, Cray built on the Jaguar and built the world's fastest supercomputer, the Titan Titan!

Coincidentally, Cray was eventually acquired by Silicon Map in 1994. Now, if you buy Cray, can it be regarded as "returning the goods to their original owners"?

Cray was overtaken in the 90s, not because Cray's technology was not good, but because IBM and HP were developing too fast. Both companies are rich and have gone on a buying spree. The technology and the market are theirs, and Cray can only say that it is helpless!

As a result, Henry then called Harrison and asked him to buy Cray.

Harrison was instructed by Henry to immediately initiate an acquisition of Cray. Cray is having a tough time right now. In the face of the encirclement and interception of the two giants IBM and HP, the market share has plummeted, and it has been less than 10%. If the current trend continues, Cray's market share will continue to decline!

Cray now needed to find a solution to its current predicament!!

At this time, Williams Electronics threw an "olive branch" to Cray. Undoubtedly, this is an opportunity!

If Cray was able to be acquired by Silicon Map, how could it reject Williams Electronics?

Not long after, Cray said it had accepted the acquisition of Williams Electronics. Williams Electronics completed the entire acquisition with just $500 million.

As soon as the news broke, newspapers reported: "Cray, a very famous supercomputer manufacturing company in the United States, has switched to the arms of Williams Electronics and is expected to return to the top !!in the future."

IBM and HP were shocked when they received the news.

Most of the orders for supercomputers come from government agencies or scientific research institutions. Usually, it is easier for IBM, HP to get orders.

But now that Cray has merged into Williams Electronics, that's a problem.

Williams Electronics is not a vegetarian either, and his boss Henry Williams has a much closer relationship with the U.S. government than IBM and HP. Henry Williams has dealt with the government in many industries under his name, and it can be said that Henry Williams has infiltrated the US government very seriously!

IBM and HP couldn't help but feel a deep sense of urgency, and at the same time a hint of helplessness. Previously, they used the power of capital to suppress Cray. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten back again by Cray in the same way......

Williams Electronics is much richer than IBM and HP, and its subsidiary Cisco alone has ranked first in the world's market capitalization.

In fact, Cray has grown far beyond what IBM and HP could have imagined......

In order to save himself, Henry will spare no expense to build the strongest supercomputer!!

……

……

Henry remained in the hospital for another week before being discharged. When he was discharged from the hospital, Henry couldn't help but shudder when he saw the reluctant gaze of Dean Hilton. Scientists are crazy, and Dean Hilton has apparently made himself a guinea pig for his research......

If it weren't for my special identity, maybe I would have slice it in the laboratory to play!

"Mr. Williams. Since you insist on being discharged from the hospital, then I will arrange for a special nurse to take care of you, how about it?"

"I don't want to, you know, I can't let the average person know about my illness!" Henry politely refused.

"It's okay, this special nurse is my granddaughter. She's eighteen years old, she comes from a medical family, she has a high level of professionalism, she has an outstanding appearance, and most importantly, she will definitely keep secrets!" Dean Hilton leaned closer to Henry and whispered, "Besides, Mr. Williams. Your condition needs professional care at all times......"

"Well, then it's a matter of work......" Henry thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but nod. Indeed, in case you have a bad one, it is good to have a professional nurse to deal with it urgently.

When Dean Hilton heard this, he said happily: "Okay, I will arrange for my granddaughter to come over as soon as possible!"

"Hmm!" Henry replied, and then took his leave of Dean Hilton.

Henry got into a black Rolls-Royce and left the hospital very quickly. He asked the driver to drive to Williams Electronics.

At this moment, Harrison is discussing with Cray founder Seymour Clay and others how to build a powerful supercomputer!

When he learned that Henry was coming. Harrison and his entourage hurried to the door of the company to greet them.

Henry got out of the car, glanced at everyone, and saw an unfamiliar face.

Harrison pointed to Moses Clay and introduced Henry, "Chairman, this is Dr. Moses Clay, the founder of Cray!"

"Oh, hello. Dr. Moses Clay, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Henry laughed, holding out his hand to shake his hand.

Moses Clay hurriedly shook Henry's hand respectfully and said, "Me too, it's a pleasure to meet you." Mr. Williams!"

"Hehe, let's talk about it again, don't stand here anymore!" Henry said with a smile and walked into the company first.

Harrison, Moses Clay, and others followed Henry into the company.

After a while, he came to the chairman's office.

After everyone sat down, Henry looked at Moses Clay and smiled and asked, "Dr. Moses Clay, did Harrison already tell you that I want to build the fastest supercomputer in the world?"

Moshe Clay nodded: "As I said, before you came, we were talking about the manufacturing plan. ”

Henry knew only a little about supercomputers, and he knew that supercomputers were computers made up of hundreds, thousands, or even more processors that could calculate large, complex tasks that ordinary PCs and servers could not do. Supercomputers are not as simple as stacking up a large number of CPUs, memories and other hardware, but should be applied to a variety of "soft" and "hard" technologies such as parallel access file systems, data partitions, non-uniform memory access models, and cooling. In other words, the core technology of a supercomputer is architecture!

China's Tianhe-1 and Tianhe-2 can rank first in the world's supercomputer rankings, which shows that China's technological level is still okay. However, in terms of effective computing efficiency, it is a bit poor. Cray, on the other hand, can take into account both computing speed and effective computing efficiency, and has strong technology.

Henry didn't ask about anything too complicated, and although a supercomputer is not simply a stack of processors, the processor is the key to a supercomputer. Without processors, there are no supercomputers.

Henry looked at Harrison and asked, "Have you developed a MIPS processor?" If you want to build a supercomputer, it would be better to use our own high-performance MIPS processor!!

The MISP processor is designed based on the RISC reduced instruction set, and Henry knew that because the RISC instruction system is related to a specific application area, the RISC machine is better suited for specialized machines, while the CISC machine is more suitable for general-purpose machines. Henry's supercomputer will be used exclusively for medical computing, and the MISP processor would be the best!

Moreover, even high-end servers almost all use RISC instruction system CPUs.

It can be seen that Henry was very correct in choosing the MISP processor.

When Harrison heard this, he said to Henry: "The MIPS processor development progress has reached four-fifths, and in another month, samples will be available!"

Hearing this, Henry nodded in satisfaction.

"But......," Harrison said, looking at Henry, "Chairman, although we have our own wafer factory that can manufacture processors, we don't have our own packaging and testing factory. In addition, the scale of the fab should also be expanded, and a new place should be chosen to build the fab!"

Henry thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you think the best place to build a factory?"

"Taiwan Hsinchu Science and Technology Park !!"
