"Little boss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Recently, as the number of users of the company's software has increased, there have been several large-scale crashes in WOW and GG.

The longest crash lasted more than two hours, and we received many complaints as a result.

In the future, the number of users will be higher, and I estimate that the frequency of crashes will also increase, which is not good for the reputation of our software.

I thought maybe it was time to buy a supercomputer for Hope Technology......"

Christopher whispered.

Walking on both sides of the precision instruments, rows of lights on the HOPE technology company's general database, the hardware is purchased from IBM, the system is made by Oracle, and the existing software shares this storage server.

The first time Han Xuan came here, he finally knew where he spent his tens of millions of dollars.

Hearing Christopher's words, he looked thoughtful and asked, "Are you sure it's not a system problem?"

It stands to reason that this server should last a long time, and the software doesn't produce much data per day, and I'm going to stick with it for a few more years before I think about buying a supercomputer.

Technology is developing every day, and the price of supercomputers should come down in the future, and now it's too expensive......"

A supercomputer capable of performing large amounts of data and high-speed computing that cannot be processed by ordinary personal computers.

Supercomputers are the most powerful, the fastest computing speed, and the largest storage capacity among computers, and are mostly used in national high-tech fields and cutting-edge technology research.

In recent years, some private companies have used it, such as IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, and Boeing, etc., and in the process of manufacturing Boeing 777, a large number of supercomputers have been used for simulation experiments.

"I think it's probably because of the network.

The network transmission speed is too slow, and most homes still use telephone lines to connect to the network, which is much slower than the fiber optic network produced by companies such as Cisco.

In addition, the configuration of some old-fashioned computers is not high, and the data transmitted by the software cannot be connected to the server of our head office, so that the software does not respond.

With a supercomputer, our company can provide better services to customers.

I've learned about the new thinking-machinesCM-5/1024 supercomputer used by Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, and the National Security Agency.

Each unit costs about $21 million, and with other accessories, the total price won't exceed $25 million.

The limit floating-point value of the thinking-machinescm-5/1024 supercomputer can reach 65.5 billion times per second, which is a good price.

This investment pays off and helps our company a lot.

Your SpaceX, Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines, and Hans Motors all have access to it, and it's not all for us at HOPE Technologies. ”

Han Xuan listened quietly, his eyes seemed to be smiling, and he looked at Christopher.

He can see that the head of his company's software department just wants a supercomputer.

As mentioned earlier, the software often crashes or something, which is also to pave the way for the purchase of supercomputers.

Christopher is right, companies like SpaceX and Hans Motors do need supercomputers.

To develop new cars and rockets, all the data is simulated on a computer, and then the design is completed before manufacturing, just like Boeing did.

Improving the hydrodynamic structure, fuel consumption, and crashworthiness of equipment such as automobiles, aircraft, and rockets, and helping to reduce noise directly on the computer, can reduce a significant amount of research costs and reduce the time required to design products.

Buying a supercomputer now is not impossible in Han Xuan's opinion......

Christopher's face turned red when Han Xuan saw it.

Recently, his friends at Stanford University often boasted that the school had a supercomputer, saying that he had made the wrong decision to leave the school to work here.

In the eyes of these high-level intellectuals, a supercomputer is much more important than the money Christopher makes.

So Christopher made an excuse to let the little boss also buy a supercomputer, and he had discussed it with old Charlie before, saying that the cost was too high to make his own decisions.

The one at Stanford University is used by many departments and scientific research institutions at the same time, and you need to make an appointment before using it, and you may not have the opportunity.

And if Hope Technology also buys one, he can use it if he wants to, and he usually writes software programs in a supercomputer, and he feels like a wind when he thinks about it!

"Are you sure that the kind of supercomputer you're talking about is suitable for our company?"

Mr. Christopher made a rare request, and after thinking about it for a while, Han Xuan asked him.

When the other party saw the little boss, he expressed his intention to buy a supercomputer, and his happy expression hung directly on his face, and he hurriedly said: "thinking-machines is a supercomputer manufacturer located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The company's founder, Danny Hillis, was one of the first scientists to use the Internet and was an authority on scientific and artificial intelligence.

You may not know much about the specific data of that supercomputer, but even the National Security Agency has taken a fancy to this supercomputer, which shows that it is very cost-effective.

Now it's the second fastest floating-point in the world, so it's scary!"

"Then who is the first?" Han Xuan then asked.

"Fujitsu's Fujitsu developed the Fujits-Numerical-Wind-Tunnel supercomputer last year.

The speed of floating-point operations per second reaches 170.4 billion times, which is theoretically faster than that

The thinking-machinescm-5/1024 supercomputer, which is more than twice as fast, is now being used by Japan's National Aerospace Laboratory.

The price announced by Fujitsu is as high as $60 million, which is too high.

And there are also usage restrictions, such as not disassembling it without permission, not using other accessories, otherwise I would recommend you to buy it. ”

"It's enough to use thinking-machines supercomputers now, and supercomputer technology has been updated, and when we develop a supercomputer with a billion times per second, our company will change to one of those types.

Mr. Charley, you should contact the thinking-machines company and buy a ...... from them."

Christopher's "one billion times per second" is a joke, a figure that was too far away in 1995, when technology was still underdeveloped.

What he didn't know was that 20 years later, Huaxia would really take the lead in creating a supercomputer with a floating-point operation speed of more than one billion times per second!

Han Xuan was thinking about the Cisco company that Christopher said just now.

Although until now, he still doesn't know what Cisco does, neither in this life nor in the last, but he has not really understood it.

Therefore, unconsciously, the best investment opportunity was missed.

But that doesn't stop him from remembering that in 2000, Cisco's market capitalization exceeded $500 billion!

There are only a few companies in the world that can reach this height, such as Microsoft and Apple.

At this moment, Han Xuan whispered to Secretary Wensen and said, "Help me check the total market value and stock price of Cisco."

I remember seeing the name of this company on the electronic board of the NASDAQ stock exchange.

Other than that...... Prepare another sandwich for me, I'm hungry.

Anya, will you eat?"

Dawson and the group of bodyguards recently made up their minds to follow Han Xuan's footsteps, and they will buy whatever stocks the little boss buys.

When he heard that Han Xuan wanted to investigate Cisco, he was shocked, and he thought to himself, is he finally going to make another move? )
