After resuming the thinking function, Bai Songtang's first thought was to take a good look at what it meant for Qingda Lazy God to open source.

Generally speaking, what does it mean for a piece of software to be open source?

For some small software, it may not be cared for, but it is just a piece of code lying quietly in the community.

But for some heavyweight software, it is enough to change the world.

When you open your computer to read a novel, the browser is open source Firefox (Firefox) and Chrome. The web page is running on an open source Linux system server, you click on the player to play a video, the decoder is open source, play a game, maybe the game engine is also open source.

Or maybe you said, you're not using Firefox or Chrome that you've never heard of, you're using a secure browser!

That's right, based on Google's open source Chromeium project (chrome's corresponding open source project) "independently" developed a variety of "safe" and "high-speed" browsers, which are absolutely original, never copied code in the open source community, and never took a shell as their own thing, people have written interactive interfaces!

If it weren't for these open source projects, maybe everyone would still be using the old version of IE that is clunky and rudimentary.

Or the player you use is a storm.,QQ video and audio.,That's right,These players have definitely not been sued by open source software.,No use of other people's code and don't open their own code.,No serious violation of open source agreements.,No cheeky continued copying.。

All in all, when you turn on your computer, you're definitely not wrapped in the glow of open source software.

At least some merchants won't admit it.

But to a large extent, open source software drives the world.

So. What does it mean if a project is open source?

Look at the various copycat items on the screen of the cat's house, have you ever sighed, the Chinese are strong, anything can come out.

What tall things, smart machines, smart routers, smart toys, smart homes, balance cars, drones...... Everything can be bought in copycats.

But sometimes. Nor can this be done entirely by relying on the wisdom of the Chinese themselves.

Because these things are all open source, open source, open source, open source, open source, open source......

Many companies can get venture capital and even make a lot of money just by copying some open source projects.

Supercomputing is open source. It's not the first time, and all kinds of "garage supercomputers" are all over the world.

But the "green lazy god" is different.

This is a real, top-of-the-line supercomputing project that surpasses modern technology!

So what are the implications?

For a while, Bai Songtang couldn't think too much, so he had an idea: He meowed, and the previous 700 million was given for nothing!

Spend 700 million. Bought an open source code?

Can there be more wrongdoers in this world?

Bai Songtang looked down at the agreement placed in front of Su Hongyi, and reached out and snatched it back.

His heart was bleeding. That's 700 million, 700 million!

How much can 700 million do!

Su Hongyi smiled and said, "The agreement has been signed and notarized, and you can't tear it up even if you take it away." Breach of contract will go to court. ”

Bai Songtang wanted to say something, but opened his mouth for a long time, but only said one sentence: "How do you ...... How can you fool people like this?"

This thick-eyed kid. It's so gloomy!

"Pit man?" Su Hongyi pouted, "Who dug the pit first, you can pit me, but I am not allowed to pit you?"

Gods may do what cattle may not. How can this be true?

Then he leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "Moreover, who said that I cheated you? Do you think that if we publish the code, anyone can understand it and anyone can use it?" These 700 million, you are not buying the code, you are buying my service, I ......will take a look at it" Su Hongyi looked at the document on the table, and saw that it said "not less than a week of technical service", so he said, "I bought it for a week." ”

Su Hongyi's expression was very confident, so confident that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

The code of the lazy god is worthless, whoever likes to take it, and whoever loves to ask for it.

But I know how to use this code, and it's worth it.

How much is it worth?

100 million a day, it's worth so much.

Looking at Bai Songtang, who was staying there, Su Hongyi packed up the things in front of him and stood up, and said, "Didn't you just say that you would go out to have fun and get to know your future colleagues? Do you want to go now? You have to go quickly, 700 million in seven days, and it will cost tens of millions of dollars to eat a meal! I have to help customers save money." ”

Bai Songtang wants to hammer Su Hongyi to death with one punch, eat, you are tired to die here!

Bai Songtang was stunned for a moment, but Su Hongyi was too expensive, he was reluctant to even be in a daze, and then turned around and ran, Su Hongyi ran to find his boss.

Su Hongyi knew that if he followed Bai Songtang now, he might be able to see the person who was yin, but he didn't care.

It's just a clown.

And after Bai Songtang went back, as soon as he told the boss, the boss immediately froze.

"Open source, what do you mean by open source?"

When Bai Songtang explained a little, he was suddenly annoyed and angry: "This ...... Isn't this a collaboration with the enemy and treason......? It's too much! And there's no organizational discipline!"

"It's too late to say that. Bai Songtang looked at the panicked big boss, and then thought about the calm and calm Su Hongyi, and his extremely sharp counterattack, and sighed in his heart, why bother?

"Now is not the time to be angry, think about the consequences. ”

"What consequences?" the big boss was stunned for a moment, then he thought of the consequences, and then his face turned pale.

The first half of 2015 was not glorious for the entire Chinese supercomputing community.

In addition to the fact that Tianhe-2 is still dominant, China's overall supercomputing has shown a sharp downward trend.

In the first two rankings of the top 500 supercomputers, the number of supercomputers in China has been decreasing, and by November 2014, it had dropped from 76 to 61.

As the most developed country in supercomputing technology, the United States occupies 50% of the seats in the TOP500 all year round, November 2014. It was reduced to 231 units, which is a new low in the United States, but it still occupies a 46% share.

With one enemy against a hundred, occupying half of the country, this is where the United States is awesome.

And in the news that has been counted and has not been announced. In June 2015, at the upcoming International Supercomputer Conference in Germany, China's share of supercomputing will drop to an unprecedented low of 37 units, less than 8%, compared to 48% in the United States......

The Great Rout, the Great Rout of Unprecedented Times.

Some research institutes and intelligence agencies that track and study the dynamics of supercomputing in the world have already issued forecasts in advance. Although none of the reports of these agencies are authoritative in the TOP500 organizations, their data are also referential.

In the past six months, the performance of China's supercomputer in the international arena can only be described in one word, miserable!

Waterloo, or beaten back to square one?

Whether it is the private sector or the industry, there are various disputes over the development of supercomputing.

Originally, the Qingda Lazy God would be in this ranking. is about to occupy the fourth place, which can be regarded as adding a seat to China's top 10.

Do not threaten your position. It's great to be in the top 10 again.

But after this open source, it's different.

Aerospace, nuclear energy, supercomputing, genomes, these are real national projects, another sense of the arms race, the meaning of its existence. It is strategic, and some supercomputers are commonly used in animation rendering, protein folding, DNA sequencing, and fluid dynamics simulation. There are also supercomputers that are applied to explosion simulations and weapon design.

Not development? Definitely not.

It is necessary not only to develop, but also to vigorously develop.

But how to develop? This is a difficult question for all to explore.

It's not just China that pays attention to supercomputing. The same is true for the United States.

Ao Guanhai has long been unhappy with the long-term dominance of Tianhe-2, and has already signed a presidential decree to build a supercomputer that is several times more powerful than Tianhe-2 from 2017 to 18.

As for the damage of the embargo on chips, it is also a note under this voice, and American politicians slapped their heads: "I can't come up with a more advanced supercomputer, so you can't make it?"

This kind of thing is not just a Chinese patent.

This also directly led Bai Songtang to go to Qingda Lazy God for "investigation", as well as some short-sighted people, who directly turned the strong alliance into internal friction and infighting.

After Qingda Lazy God is open sourced, foreign counterparts will definitely study these codes regardless of whether they use it or not.

In this era when outstanding talents are going abroad, the domestic supercomputing community, in terms of code mining and software development, is still much weaker than its American counterparts.

If the technology of Qingda Lazy God really spreads, Tianhe-2 will fall to the first place? Can it still stay in the top ten?

How many of the top 500 units can be left in China? Can there be 10 units?

Thinking of the consequences, this guy who is clever and plans to bully a small private enterprise with no roots and no basis has been stupid.

I just want to poke you in the head and show me my superiority.

Who knew that it was poked, but it was a hornet's nest!

And at this time, the old ladies who were stung by the wasp and wore the mouse, the first thought may not be: "This hornet is really ignorant"

It's rather: "Who the hell stabbed the hornet's nest!"

……

"You're such a hornet's nest. After Qingzhong Yang received the report, he called Nanming with hindsight.

"The person who stabbed the hornet's nest is now probably going to be unlucky. "Nanming is very calm.

Qingzhong Yang didn't know what to say, he was about to die of a headache: "But you have to know, even if the person who stabs the hornet's nest will be unlucky, the hornet's nest will still be stabbed off, it will be burned, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, is it worth it?"

"What if this nest of hornets is a super-protected animal?"

He is very confident in the open source technology of Lazy God Technology.

"How do you prove that you are a protected animal?" asked Qingzhong Yang.

And so on. Nan Ming replied with one word.

……

At this moment, in the far Middle East, at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, Professor Khulam, a Pakistani national, stood in the computer room of the supercomputer "Shaheen II" and said to an assistant beside him: "Let's start." ”

"Cray ......"

"Don't wait for them. Hu Ram's gaze swept over the computer room and said in a deep voice.

This supercomputer, Shaheen 2, is the result of Hulam's painstaking efforts.

It used most of Clay's solutions, but it wasn't a pleasant experience working with Clay. The arrogance and rudeness of the Yankees made the professor from the Middle East very unhappy.

King Abdo University of Science and Technology, the most famous university in Saudi Arabia, has tens of billions of dollars in funding, although it has only been established for five years and has only 2,000 students.

Its global enrollment and high scholarships also attract the best international students.

Shaheen 2 is also the most important part of the infrastructure of King Abdo University of Science and Technology.

During the construction of Shaheen II, the radical director of the Clay company repeatedly demanded price increases under various pretexts, deliberately delayed when the target was not reached, and now the final commissioning has not been completed, which has made Huram angry.

But just yesterday, everything took a turn for the better.

Qingda lazy god, open source.

The code of the Qingda Lazy God comes from the enhanced disc of Nanming, which is so strong that it is beyond imagination.

It is almost inclusive of hardware, big and small, although the open source version is simplified and deleted, and has become several independent open source versions. However, the most famous supercomputing in the world is that several general solutions follow the same specifications, and there is an open source version of it, which is fully adapted to the technology used by Cray.

Professor Huram organized everyone to sleep tirelessly, and spent a day and a half making simple adjustments to Shaheen-2 according to the publicly released guidance documents, and then deployed all the manpower to deploy the operating system of Qingda Lazy God on the supercomputer.

Now, it's time to test the results.

"One last check before turning it on!" the assistant passed on Professor Huram's order.

"The power supply is fine. ”

"The cooling system is ready. ”

"The network is ready. ”

Voices came from all corners of the computer room, sparsely and sparsely, not to mention any majesty.

"Power on!"

Airplanes......

The sound of the current sounds, the current travels at the speed of light, the electrons travel slowly in the wire at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second, in and out of the various logic gates of the CPU, and the thick cables connect the various units, and a group of container-like units are activated in turn.

Huram closed his eyes and waited silently until the assistant reported: "The boot is complete, for now...... Everything works fine. ”

Hu Lam forcibly suppressed his excitement and said, "Run the test program!"

At this moment, Hu Ram, who was waiting with his eyes closed, did not know that at this moment, there was a supercomputer, and suddenly it was among the top 10 supercomputers that had not had any new members for three years.

This is the strongest supercomputer in Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East, and it is also the first time that a supercomputer in the Middle East has been ranked in the top 10, ranking seventh, with 50 trillion floating point operations per second.

This supercomputer, called Shaheen II, is buzzing around him at this moment, like a swarm of wasps looking for prey.

(All the data is true, but the plot is fictional, although the real name is used, please don't sit in the right seat, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's just fiction, thank you...... (To be continued.) )
