Chapter 1087: The Complex Heat Dissipation System of a Supercomputer

"Of course I support it, as the so-called men and women are not tired of working together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Besides, the old man said that women can be half the sky, and we can't underestimate the ability of women. Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Regarding artificial intelligence, to be honest, I don't know much about it. But I know that this technology is an important direction of computer technology in the future, and it is also a major direction. I don't know if our center has any plans for this in this regard. ”

Zhu Lao next to him shook his head when he heard this: "We don't have any plans in this regard for the time being, on the one hand, because we don't have such conditions for the time being, and even if we still have a relatively shallow understanding of this aspect. In the future, we plan to rely on Xiao Nan and other young talents who have returned from abroad, especially in the field of software and artificial intelligence, to organize a scientific research team to specialize in this research. However, this is a systematic project, and it is also a long-term investment project, which requires long-term and vigorous investment from the company. ”

Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this, "Indeed, it is not suitable for us to carry out research in this area right now. But let's start with an interest group. As for investment, let's take our time, I'm actually quite optimistic about the development of this area. ”

Lin Xiaonan next to him said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, in fact, artificial intelligence is really promising." Not to mention anything else, these manufacturing and production robots used by the company can also be regarded as an artificial intelligence technology. I think we should start working on this as early as possible, and I think it's going to be a huge help for us to upgrade and improve our manufacturing. ”

Well, Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Lin Xiaonan and said, "I knew that this kind of robot is computer technology, but I didn't expect that they also belong to the category of artificial intelligence." Also, the robot is also designed and developed with the characteristics of simulated people. In this way, Sister Lin, I am very interested in this aspect, let's make an appointment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we will have a good chat. ”

"Okay. Lin Xiaonan smiled and said with satisfaction.

After everyone finished talking, under the guidance of the staff, Jiang Chen and the others came to a door on the second floor of an independent three-story building in the computer center building. ”

Oh, Jiang Chen looked at this computer room with more interest, and this computer room was isolated by a thick metallic iron door. Seeing Jiang Chen's puzzled look, Zhu Lao smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "Although this computer is said to be one, to be precise, it should grow into a large-scale computer system. Its system includes the host group system of the entire large-scale computer, the management control center, the computing processing center, the computer room system, the power supply system, the database and other major systems. ”

Seeing Jiang Chen's interested looks, Zhu Lao smiled and said to Jiang Chen, "Let's go, let's talk while watching." ”

As he spoke, Elder Zhu led Jiang Chen towards the iron gate. And a few young staff members waiting next to him said to Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, please change into shoe covers." ”

Oh, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Zhu Lao, and Zhu Lao explained with a smile: "The entire computer room is in a dust-free and sterile environment, which is done to protect the entire host unit from being infected by external factors, which will cause damage and prolong the service life of its related electronic components. That's why we require all personnel entering the room to wear shoe covers. ”

"Oh, since that's the case, well, we'll abide by the stipulations here. With that, Jiang Chen changed into shoe covers by himself. The staff next to him gave Jiang Chen another army green coat. Before Jiang Chen could ask, Zhu Lao next to him said with a smile: "Since the host fleet will emit a lot of heat during operation, we must cool down these fleets. Avoid burning electronic components due to high temperature. Therefore, we have installed a cooling system in the entire computer room, so that the temperature in the computer room is always maintained at about two degrees. ”

Jiang Chen nodded, but while wearing the military coat on his body, he asked Zhu Lao, "Why did you choose to keep it at two degrees?" If you want to cool down, isn't it better to lower it?"

Ma Lao next to him shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not that the lower the better, on the one hand, our electronic components actually have requirements for temperature." If the temperature is too low, it will affect the performance of electronic components, and even cause damage to electronic components due to low temperature. If the temperature is too high, it will not have a cooling effect, so after repeated trials, we chose to keep the temperature at about two degrees. The reason why this temperature is chosen is because the freezing temperature of the water is zero degrees, and two degrees higher than zero degrees, so the water vapor generated in the room for various reasons is not easy to freeze, thus damaging the equipment. ”

"I see. Jiang Chen smiled and nodded: "I didn't expect there to be such a big knowledge here." ”

"Hehe, Xiao Jiang, don't look at the operating temperature of this control computer, this is also a knowledge. Ma Lao said with a smile: "Take our computer system as an example, its temperature control system is very complicated. Its subdivision can be divided into four parts. The first part is the heat dissipation system of each processing set within these host groups, which is mainly composed of two forms: metal heat sink strip and fan air supply to heat dissipation, in order to control the temperature of the processor chips in each processing set, which is the first weight. The second is the ventilation system in the laboratory, and of course, the third is the air conditioning and refrigeration system. However, in addition to the function of heat dissipation and ventilation, this second ventilation system also has an important function, that is, dehumidification, so that the inside of the computer room is always in a relatively dry environment. The third air-conditioning and refrigeration system is mainly the function of temperature control in the entire computer room, which plays a role in constant temperature. Of course, the high temperature generated in an instant when the host equipment is running at full capacity, this first triple is somewhat insufficient. Therefore, in addition to this triple, we have added a special emergency cooling system during the operation of the equipment, which we call the water circulation cooling system. ”

"Xiao Jiang, look at these pipelines. Ma Lao pointed to the complicated pipelines that stretched out and said to Jiang Chen: "These pipelines are the water circulation cooling system. It is composed of several main pipes, branch pipes, and small pipes. It's a bit like the blood vessels of the human body, which are made up of large arterial vessels, middle arterial vessels, small arteriolar vessels, and capillaries, which are then made up of the venous vascular system to form a circulatory system. A steady stream of cold water is fed into a small pipe through a pipe to cool the equipment, and then it is returned through the pipe to bring the heat out. We have tested this system, and its instantaneous cooling effect is very significant. After Xiao Nan's proposal, we have applied for relevant international patents for this water circulation cooling system through the company's foreign branches, and it is expected to be approved soon. ”

"I didn't expect this to have such a complex deconstruction of a cooling system, which is really eye-opening. Let's go in, I'm a little impatient. With that, Jiang Chen walked inside, while the others smiled and followed towards the inside of the computer room.
