Chapter 211: Temporary cramming
This morning, when Nanming walked into the computer room of the Supercomputing Research Institute of Qingyang University, he couldn't help but curse and lay down.
Although Zhu Yangchao is a bastard, this supercomputing center is really bullish.
Qingyang University's supercomputing research institute is very close to the previous vision research institute, although it is larger than the vision research institute, but it will definitely not be able to accommodate a supercomputing center, Nanming once felt very puzzled.
And now Nanming knows that the real supercomputing center is actually underground.
When Nanming walked into the supercomputing research institute, got on the elevator, stepped out of the elevator again, and then looked up, the whole person was almost Spartan.
Overhead, there is a thick layer of glass, sparkling above, with swimming fish and leaves floating.
Part of the supercomputing center of Qingyang University is actually under Qingcheng Lake!
"When we built the supercomputing center, we envisioned that we would use the water from Qingcheng Lake to cool the supercomputing center, which would effectively reduce energy consumption. Lu Pearl said, this design was also very eye-catching at the beginning.
The huge glass at the entrance of the supercomputing center also cost a lot of money at that time, but it was like a stone lion placed at the door.
Nan Ming's saliva immediately came down when he saw it.
The foundation of a century-old university is really not imaginary. Although the ranking has been declining, in some places, it still inadvertently reveals the true colors of the giants.
Like the high-tech building that the Institute of Vision now occupies, like the finishing touch that almost makes your jaw drop now.
"The most important factor restricting large-scale computer clusters has become the problem of power and heat dissipation, so major companies around the world are trying to find various ways to solve this problem, such as Google's number center in the sea, and the number center in The Pirate Bay, in an underground ice cellar. Lu Pearl explained to Nanming. "Supercomputing is a system engineering, involving architecture, engineering, refrigeration, electricity and other aspects. ”
Coincidentally, she is an expert in these aspects and has dabbled in all of these, so she will do supercomputing with Zhu Yangchao.
And now, Zhu Yangchao has been quarantined and censored. She alone can't support the current supercomputing research institute.
These aspects alone are not the core technology of supercomputing after all.
The core of supercomputing is how to be faster, stronger, and with lower internal losses.
Is supercomputing hard?
Difficult, the most top-of-the-line supercomputer is a dual game of money and technology, and it is a flexible use of all existing computer technology. The pursuit is the limit.
But supercomputing is not difficult, and anyone can do it if they have money.
Download a configuration sheet online, purchase the configuration according to the configuration sheet, and then find an open-source parallel computing system, download it and install it to build a small supercomputing, or cluster computing system.
Broadly speaking, parallel computer systems. can be regarded as supercomputing. Dozens of Raspberry Pi can be regarded as a supercomputer.
There are also supercomputing competitions for college students internationally. A group of college students built the most efficient supercomputer in a few days with the specified budget and parts, so it is not difficult to supercalculate.
But in a narrow sense, supercomputing is the fastest and strongest computer!
It's like the fastest and most famous sports car is a supercar, only the fastest computer. can be regarded as supercomputing!
Twenty years ago, the supercomputing power was put aside now, and it is just a home machine.
If you want to find an analogy to match it, a car is just an engine with four wheels and a sofa on it.
But the supercar is the condensation and crystallization of the entire modern industrial achievements! It is the pearl in the crown!
"Can you let us try the code?" Nanming made this request after a round of sightseeing.
Lu Pearl readily agreed. Anyway, there is no secret to this supercomputer, and it is not advanced in China.
Then he saw Nan Ming and Tie Dan sit down in front of the supercomputer control platform, Tie Dan took out a few books from the schoolbag on his back, and the two of them gnawed on them.
"You're busy, you're busy!" Nanming waved his hand, signaling them to be here.
These books in his hands are very important, how can he read these people here.
"Do we need us to explain to you the architecture of our supercomputer and the system we run?" Lu Pearl said, she is not good at this, but there is an associate professor who has been grinding his fists for a long time.
"No, no, we do our own research. Nanming still waved his hand.
The associate professor was immediately disappointed.
Lu Pearl and the others looked at each other, this seemed to be different from the scene they imagined, shouldn't Nanming start checking the entire system and debugging the system now?
How does it look like cramming before an exam?
It seems that this place is used as an ordinary computer room, and supercomputing is regarded as a computer class?
Director, this plot is not right, what about playing tricks?
Nan Ming and Tie Dan read it seriously, flipping through the book in a hurry, and it is not strange to put it somewhere else, but if it is placed here, no matter how you look at it, it looks like child's play.
The two of them were reading, and the other dozen or so people, including Chen Mingyuan, all looked at them, and then stared at each other with big eyes.
"You...... Isn't there anything else?" Chen Mingyuan blinked, are you kidding me?
Lu Pearl secretly snickered, for her, it doesn't matter if Nan Ming understands supercomputing or not, as long as Nan Ming is interested in supercomputing, she has the opportunity to attract investment, and it is enough to open another project or expand the existing topic, just like now, it consumes everyone else, and the rest is her time.
Anyway, this is her territory, as long as Nanming is here, she will have time to contact Nanming.
"Dean Chen, why don't you come to my office for a meeting?" Lu Pearl pulled Chen Mingyuan's straight eyes back.
He also excused Nanming and said: "Supercomputing is not something that can be used when you turn it on, check the technical manual, check the operating environment, and reprogram, but it takes a lot of time, wait here, then wait until when you go." ”
"That's, that's. Chen Mingyuan suddenly realized that he was also concerned about it.
Of course, Nan Ming is not looking at any technical manual.
He asked Lu Pearl with his mouth: "You can't break it." ”
This supercomputer is the lifeblood of the Institute of Calculations.
How to break it? All systems and numbers are backed up, and it's good to restore them if they are messed up, and they are not a finished product in themselves.
Besides, if you want to break it, you have to be able to play with this thing, does Nanming have the ability?
Anyway, Zhu Yangchao is not here, and others can't play with the previous things, and sooner or later they will be scrapped and restarted.
Lu Pearl made up her mind to delay, and a few people left with other things, but the remaining professors were unmoved, and followed her office to rub tea, and from time to time there were other professors who were not well-informed enough to just hear the news and rushed over.
The current Nanming is a fragrant bait.
Liu Nanchuan is not well-informed enough about this news, Chen Mingyuan and him are classmates, and the two have a good personal relationship, but Chen Mingyuan didn't think about it so much at first, and when he saw that other professors were coming, he quietly found an opportunity and called him.
When Liu Nanchuan arrived panting, he saw Su Hongyi and Han Dong also running into the door out of breath.
These two people are not familiar with the road, they ran to the wrong place before, and they found a place after a long circle, and they were stopped by the doorman outside the door, and finally came in.
The three masters and apprentices looked at each other, and Liu Nanchuan didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, the ghost asked, "Did you two have an abortion?"
Su Hongyi and Han Dong couldn't wait to shrink their heads into their stomachs.
"You two, I won't have to go to class after that. Liu Nanchuan smiled fiercely, I have a lesson, you are done!
If time permitted, Su Hongyi really wanted to cry and pounce on Liu Nanchuan's thigh and beg for mercy, but he raised his wrist to look at the time, damn, the time is almost over!
Nanming, this bastard, really dare to deduct their double points!
The two of them looked at each other and ran away.
"Run, what's the use of running away!" Liu Nanchuan looked at the backs of the two and sneered.
Then he suddenly thought of something, and chased after him.
140 points, Tiedan's platinum card can be discounted, 112 points in exchange for these seven books, four of which are strengthened for learning, three for the depth of knowledge, and Tie Dan almost finished reading the first book at a speed of half an hour.
The indescribable sense of urgency was like a wolf chasing behind him, making him desperate to get it done quickly.
Later, who knows what will happen to the Iron Chick? (To be continued......)
