Chapter 325: Core Battle

Although software engineering also needs to be engineering, it does not have a particularly common tool in engineering, that is, a cheat sheet, to be precise, there is no such quick reference calculation table in the fields of mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science.

The latter is a calculation tool that engineers have to design in order to solve complex and changeable practical problems, and they use methods similar to exhaustive methods to measure such things as "the density, boiling point and viscosity of common liquids at different temperatures and pressures" and "the mechanical properties of common materials at different temperatures" Even if the environmental conditions such as temperature and pressure are not completely consistent, the approximate data is obtained from the upper and lower adjacent conditions, and then other tools are used to gradually correct the final result.

And Atletico Madrid's SC platform, although in his explanation to others S is smart, C is lla wave ration collaboration, together SC is the meaning of wisdom union, but in fact, he himself prefers to call it a "quick reference system" or "supercomputing system", the system itself has no real programming ability, not that Atletico strictly abides by the so-called robot breeding principle robots must not design robots, so AI cannot make AI, In fact, the real reason why software cannot design software is that with current AI technology, it can only simulate biological intelligence as much as possible and cannot form real intelligence, so naturally there is no way to form real creativity. In fact, the most suitable thing for the C platform is to analyze, optimize, and convert the code, so as to realize the special adjustment of software functions. It was precisely because of the perfect availability of the SC platform that Atletico Madrid made up their minds to change the heart of the bee phone, and then they spent a full year to complete the migration of the main and common applications on the B2 platform, including a large number of third-party software. Therefore, the upcoming official wave S3 software store, although the number of applications is less than 20,000, is enough to complete more than 90% of the functional scenarios.

And in the future, they will continue to migrate those applications with fewer users, after all, the two giants of smartphones, iOS and Android, like to compare the number of their applications, whether it is the former overlord Symbian, or the once powerful Blackberry, and the wealthy daughter Windosphone7, they have suffered a lot from the lack of applications.

Anyway, the so-called transplantation of bees is close to fully automatic, and for its own software with perfect development documents, it can be automatically completed without the intervention of a program ape, and all that is needed is time and electricity. For the transplantation of other third-party software, it only needs an experienced program ape to help it analyze and draw the architecture diagram, flow chart and other information of the target software, and grasp the medicine according to the prescription.

Because of the huge "medicine cabinet", the system needs to compare a large number of similar "standard code" at the same time when programming, and finally select an optimal combination to form the final code.

In fact, as early as three years ago, Bee already had the number one supercomputer in the country, and now with the gradual addition of 215 server chips designed by Atletico Madrid, especially the addition of a large number of carbon tube processors dressed in Atletico Madrid, the supercomputing system of Bee has quietly achieved one quadrillion floating point calculations per second (PFLOPS), and has become the number one in the world.

Although this indicator has now changed from the top to the top 20 threshold as countries build or expand their existing supercomputing systems, it is undoubtedly still a strong indicator. And this is not the theoretical end of bee supercomputing, the reason why it did not continue to impact the billions of calculations per second is that the computing power of the system is temporarily enough, after all, the bee can borrow computing power from the collaborative acceleration network at any time, and on the other hand, it is also because of the insufficient capacity of the processor.

Nowadays, the field of supercomputers has already entered a continuous rhythm of nuclear warfare, and the vast majority of supercomputers use multi-core CPUs with more than six cores, each with tens of thousands of CPU cores, and now Japan's "Beijing", which has been the world's fastest supercomputer for a year in a row, is the world's fastest supercomputer "Kyo" with the world's 700,000 processor cores (nearly more than 90,000 octa-core SPARC64 processors) and the world's only powerful performance to achieve 100 million billion peak calculations per second, or to illustrate the truth that "more cores is good, more cores is fast".

Although it is not that the more CPU is used, the stronger the performance will be, after all, the CPU architecture, frequency, GPU acceleration and system algorithm will also affect the final effect, but "Jing" is the domestic "Tianhe 1" with 700,000 cores and the Jaguar of the Oak Forest Laboratory of the US Department of Energy with 700,000 cores.

If the bee supercomputer signs up for the TOP500 ranking, although it will definitely not be in the top 10 of the most beautiful scenery, but with the blind 30,000 cores and the exclusive self-made 215 processor, it is certain that it will be as eye-catching as a firefly in the night, even if it is hidden on the second page of the list, it can still attract the attention and special mention of the organizer, and then attract strong onlookers and careful analysis of the global supercomputing industry and CPU industry.

Atletico Madrid is not ready to withstand this kind of onlookers at the moment, so they continue to keep a low profile of the bee supercomputer, and he doesn't even give the bee supercomputer a domineering name. In fact, only he knows about the bee supercomputing performance (petaflops per second), because the server control is in his hands, and others can't run various speed test tools to check the actual computing speed, but he feels that his server cluster is getting smoother and easier to use, but no one has ever regarded them as supercomputers.

The configuration of each server cluster in the bee bee garden is obviously different because of the different production times, the early cabinets are mainly Intel?Xeon Xeon processors, and the later cabinets have begun to have a lot of chips designed by the bees themselves. And the former is x86, and the latter is a magic modification and enhanced arm, how can different architectures be combined? This is one of the reasons why people don't think of them as a supercomputer.

Interestingly, the SPARC processor used in Japan's "Beijing" is produced by Fujitsu in Japan through technical cooperation with the American Sun company, in addition to this, about 10% of the supercomputing on the list uses IBM PoERPC processors, which are the same as the ARM used in the bee heart 215, which are different versions of the improved Japanese SC reduced instruction set architecture. In addition, nearly ninety percent of the market share is occupied by x86_64 processors.

Of course, the 210 series processors can no longer be regarded as pure ARM architecture, after all, Atletico Madrid has renovated the ARM architecture, and also added and changed some new instruction sets to make the 210 series processors have higher efficiency and performance. Of course, because of this change, Atletico Madrid was also knocked hard by the British, the fee for external licensing of the ARM architecture is divided into different levels, and the licensing fee for directly using the public circuit diagram is the lowest, but like Apple and Samsung, you have to pay a large license fee if you buy it back and modify it on a large scale. This is also one of the reasons why Atletico Madrid is reluctant to disclose the bee supercomputer, and it does not rely on the plan of 215 to enter the server market, and the public does not have much impact, but if it is made public, it is equivalent to helping the British advertise in vain.

In fact, although the actual performance of the quad-core 2GHz 215 is stronger than that of the same level of ARM chips, it does not have too obvious advantages over those more mature chips, after all, where is the numerical advantage of others. The real reason for the soaring performance of the bee server cluster is naturally the hundreds of carbon tube versions 215 that Atletico Madrid quietly mixed in.

Although these processors quietly produced by him use the "genuine" bee heart 215 shell and interface, the power consumption and serial number are normal, but its actual performance is far beyond the ordinary 215, up to 100 times, this is naturally because the carbon tube element is smaller in size and resistance, and the same area and power consumption can plug a larger number of transistors and circuits, and the performance is naturally crazy. Speaking of which, Atletico Madrid tried his best to push the bees to make their own cores, in order to make it easier for him to polish his disguise.

This is also the reason why Atletico Madrid's love to join in the fun is why he doesn't let the bee supercomputer participate in various rankings, after all, his heart is weak!

Different from the client collaborative acceleration technology he took out before, and the biological solar cell technology that he was about to take out, he still hasn't figured out the principle of "brainwave 3D printing technology", and the 3D printer still needs to use his skin to make it, which seriously limits the output of carbon tube processors, and also makes Atletico have no way to bring this technology to the market, and is reluctant to abandon it, so he has to mix them with other processors and use them together.

Even in order to better polish the chips, Atletico Madrid did not hesitate to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the chip business from Bee Computer, after all, the latter is going through the listing process, and it will become more and more inconvenient to meddle in the future. Although Atletico Madrid's move has the intention of hollowing out the computer company, but for the sake of money, it still has the support of other shareholders, and the spin-off sale has been successfully completed, of course, there is another reason why they dare not and are unwilling to refuse, the military industrial enterprises that purchase bee chips do not want the transaction records of both sides to be disclosed by listed companies.

Because of the unique technical advantages, the bee company has had a lot of cooperation with the official department in the past, but in the past, it was mainly with the meteorological observatory, the Ministry of Land and Resources Disaster Reduction Office and other technical departments, and later with the bee eye recognition technology and the maturity of bee drone technology, they also began to cooperate with the local police in the fields such as tracing people, abduction and traffic, and traffic flow monitoring, and because of the good performance of the bee police equipment, it gradually attracted the interest of the military and military departments.

On the one hand, it is very cooperative in the transfer of technology in non-civilian fields such as military drones and helmet displays, and almost responds to requests, but on the other hand, it is very resistant to long-term projects, and the cooperation such as the stationing of representatives of the cooperative development army is resolutely refused, even if the long-term cooperation is more profitable.

Naturally, the personal will of the founder and big boss Atletico Madrid plays an influence in it. In Atletico Madrid's view, legal cooperation with official institutions is a civic duty, and the other party should naturally try to help them if they make legitimate and reasonable requests, but he is very resistant to in-depth cooperation and joint development, after all, he has too many secrets, and he is naturally afraid of the relevant departments that are said to be omnipotent and omnipresent and impossible to find, which is why there is this subtle state of imminent detachment.

In fact, not only the military industry is like this, but Atletico's attitude towards the political axe department is almost the same attitude. Therefore, after the local propaganda department quickly found him after the "highway melon grabbing" incident, Atletico Madrid's original plan to publicly prosecute the villagers for the melon robbery with great fanfare and prepare for the application for enforcement at the same time was pressed before it began, he just reluctantly refused the official mediation, but proposed not to open the fast trial, and then left on the road with the winning verdict and the 11 watermelons compensated by the villagers. As a result, netizens who were looking forward to the follow-up development of the incident saw the verdict posted by Atletico Madrid and a photo of the watermelon not long after they went to work the next day, saying that the matter was over, and some netizens were angry at that time: "My pants are off, you just show me this?"

However, just like the customers are not all gods, the "audience masters" are not all masters, so they can only accept this result with pain, and it is a big deal to use sentences like "rolling like a horse watermelon" to mock the boss of Atletico Madrid.

At this moment, at the Bee Comprehensive Activity Center, the reporters sitting on the two-wheeled balance bikes probably don't have any normal expressions on their faces. Originally, I received the bee this time called "Creativity." Home", seeing the name of the conference combined with the pre-heating promotional content of Bee, most people subconsciously think that this should be the launch of the fourth generation of bee mobile phones for half a year, who would have thought that the first product taken out by Atletico Madrid was actually a lock!

It is a dark lock installed on the door, which can replace the existing spherical lock, and there is nothing special about the appearance, mainly because there is a Bluetooth module, which can communicate with the bee bracelet and other supported Bluetooth devices, and the user can enter the password through the Bluetooth device to open the lock, or set it to open automatically when the latter is close to a certain distance. It is also possible to control the reaction of the door lock to certain conditions through the home management system, such as the opening and closing status of different scenarios such as fire and carbon monoxide leakage.

At this time, the reporters understood the meaning of the word "home", it turned out that the bees prepared a bunch of smart home products today! Sure enough, after the two locks is the household environment monitor, the large rectangular box of this shoebox has opened a lot of large and small holes, according to the introduction of Atletico Madrid, which is installed including temperature and humidity, dust, organic pollutants, common toxic gas detection devices, as well as infrared, visible light, acoustic monitoring devices, which can help real-time detection and monitoring of indoor air quality to prevent gas leakage. Formaldehyde pollution, and more importantly, fire and theft.

And, "With it, you don't have to go to your house next door and never return all night, of course, provided that you have a living other half......"

This ill-intentioned guy actually ridiculed the single dog on November 11, 2011, a rare 100-year Stick Day, and suddenly a bunch of curses of "Hurry up and explode now!" on the screen of the online live broadcast. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
