Supercomputer?

Everyone in the audience was shocked and looked at Cohen with a look of incredulity. If he thinks that a supercomputer is a desktop computer, can he buy it as long as he wants to buy it? Not to mention that others don't sell it, even if they sell it, although the "second shijie" has money and a net profit of more than $100 million in a quarter, he can't afford to buy a supercomputer.

A supercomputer is usually a computer composed of hundreds, thousands, or even more processors (machines) that can calculate large and complex tasks that ordinary PCs and servers cannot do. If the computing speed of an ordinary computer is compared to the walking speed of an adult, then a supercomputer has reached the speed of a rocket. With such a speed of calculation, it is possible to predict and explain natural phenomena that were previously impossible to experiment through numerical simulations.

Today, the world's top ten supercomputers, the first is "Walker", located in Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA, it is also an IBM system computer, with a speed of 1042 trillion operations per second. It is also the first supercomputer on Shijie to break the speed of petaflops of operations per second. Particularly more importantly, it also employs a series of jishu specifically aimed at gaming and commerce, often primarily for complex and covert assessments of U.S. nuclear weapons.

China's "Dawning 3000" supercomputer, ranked not on the list, its system peak performance of 403.2 billion operations per second, "Dawning 3000" is directly led by the State Science and Technology Commission and the 863 intelligent machine expert group, under the strong support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Computing and other units, the National Intelligent Computer Research and Development Center has been developed after more than a year of efforts, "Dawning 3000" is widely used in aerospace, exploration, meteorology, finance and many other fields, providing supercomputing services at home and abroad.

And the worst of the world's top 100 supercomputers are selling for hundreds of millions of dollars, and the "second shijie" is now not eligible to buy such a supercomputer.

"Boss, if we want to run the global interconnection of Shijie Wars, or the Asian interconnection of Swordsman Love: Loyal to the Country, our company must buy a supercomputer. And the core of my 'cloud computing' can also be stored in a supercomputer, which will also play a greater role. Cohen admonished.

Cohen was also helpless. Now that the research of "cloud computing" has reached a bottleneck, if he wants to break through the existing bottleneck, he must rely on more powerful computing power to help him simulate the calculation of "cloud computing", but today's computers simply cannot meet Cohen's requirements. As he thought about it, Cohen thought of a supercomputer. What's more, the games under the "second shijie" will use "cloud computing" to achieve cross-border interconnection, so that players from different countries around the world can play under the same game server, so supercomputers are even more indispensable.

"Cohen, don't say that no one sells it now, and even if someone does, we may not be able to afford it now. For a crazy scientific researcher like Cohen, Lin Feng could only tell the truth one by one.

Cohen frowned when he heard this, but without a supercomputer, his "cloud computing" would not be able to make a breakthrough, and even if he did, Lin Feng's online games would not be applicable.

Cohen, pinching the bridge of his nose, he felt the "powerlessness" of Lin Feng Company for the first time. This is also the helplessness of small companies, the foundation is too shallow. If it's a super company like "IBM", it's just a supercomputer, and it's ready to be provided to Cohen.

Lin Feng sighed slightly.

"Hehe, cousin, why are you so frustrated, if you want a supercomputer, I have a way. An authentic American English sounded loudly, and everyone was startled, and an American man wearing a hat and covering himself tightly walked in. When he came in, he took off his hat and smiled at everyone.

"Cousin" Cohen saw the comer, stood up excitedly, and walked over to give him a warm hug. …,

Kevin Mitnick's number one hacker -- Lin Feng has already guessed who the person is, but Kevin Mitnick's appearance in the company so openly, once it spreads, it will inevitably attract the "attention" of the US government, so it will be completely in vain to toss around in the United States to get Kevin Mitnick to come to China, and I am afraid that he will face accusations from the US government, and Lin Feng is speechless about this accusation.

Lin Feng looked at the people in the conference room, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated what to do. At this moment, Wang Meng walked in and gently patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

"Everyone," Wang whispered, pulling down all the curtains.

Everyone saw Wang Meng's serious face, and their hearts instinctively tightened, and they didn't know what was happening.

"Guys, this is Kevin Mitnick, Shijie's number one hacker. Wang Meng pointed to Kevin Mitnick, who was talking to Cohen.

Everyone was surprised, especially Gates and Minwu-Lee, who were also quite familiar with Kevin Mitnick. Just now, the two of them learned the news of the disappearance of Kevin Mitnick, the number one hacker of Shijie, from an American friend, and they are still sighing at Kevin Mitnick's great powers. Unexpectedly, Kevin Mitnick appeared in the company in a blink of an eye, and they thought about and understood the subtlety of this. However, the people that the US government attaches importance to have been brought to China by Lin Feng and brought to the "second shijie", and once this is known by the US government, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Thinking of this, Gates and Minwu-Lee smiled wryly. Because the two of them had already seen Kevin Mitnick appear in the "second shijie", it was obvious that for the sake of secrecy, Lin Feng would not let them tell the secret. There is only one way to keep a secret forever - a dead man. Only the dead keep it a secret forever.

However, the two of them are very important to Lin Feng and to the "second shijie", and Lin Feng obviously will not kill people. Otherwise, Kevin Mitnick would not have appeared in the company so grandly, obviously, Lin Feng had only one purpose, that is, to tie them to the "chariot" of the "second shijie" forever, so that they would not tell the secret.

Gates and Minwu-Li guessed right, but this is not what Lin Feng meant, but Wang Meng. Kevin Mitnick's identity is sensitive, and if he continues in China for a long time, he will sooner or later be noticed by Gates and other important core personnel of the company, and it is better to tie them to the "chariot" of the "second shijie" now. What's more, the "second shijie" also does not want Gates and Minwu-Li and others to switch to others in the future, and it just so happens that this time it takes the opportunity to bind everyone to the "chariot" of the "second shijie" for the rest of their lives.

"I think you're all smart people, so I don't say much. For your safety, there's a tracker that you can track wherever you are. Rest assured, this will in no way restrict any of your freedoms in life, nor will it snoop on your privacy. Just for security reasons. Wang Meng stretched out his hand, revealing the small tracker in his palm.

Everyone frowned for a while, although they had already guessed that this was the ending, but they were faintly unhappy in their hearts. In any case, the freedom of the people is still restricted. At least, psychologically, yes

Cohen and Kevin Mitnick laughed, and when everyone hesitated, they took the lead in taking a tracker and sticking it under their armpits, simulating skin and micro-processing, and they couldn't see it if they didn't look closely.

"Yes, nothing feels like this. Cohen said. He had expected this result, and he was mentally prepared to get Kevin Mitnick from the United States with the help of Lin Feng.

"Hehe, everyone, I assure you in person, it is definitely not to snoop on any of your privacy, you can go anywhere. It's just that the company will send two additional bodyguards to protect you. Seeing that everyone was still slightly hesitant, Lin Feng reluctantly shrugged his shoulders and pointed to Li Rui and the others who were waiting outside the door and said, "You see, I don't have four bodyguards by my side at any time. ”…,

When everyone saw it, they smiled. Thinking about it this way, everyone's hearts are much better. What's more, Wang Meng has always given them the impression of being extremely rigorous and indifferent, and never speaks much, but what he says has always been a promise. He promised not to snoop on everyone's privacy, and he wouldn't. Since this is the case, everyone has nothing to hesitate, and they all took a tracker from Wang Meng and put it under their armpits. After sticking it up, I moved it, and sure enough, as Cohen and Kevin Mitnick said, I barely felt the slightest feeling.

"Boss, you go ahead with the meeting, I'll go out first. Wang Meng nodded at Lin Feng and turned to leave.

"I'd like to introduce Kevin Mitnick as the head of the company's new cybersecurity department. Lin Feng pointed to Kevin Mitnik and reintroduced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take care of me in the future. Kevin Mitnick smiled lightly. Being able to escape from the FBI surveillance, Kevin Mitnick's whole body was relieved. Although in China, they still have monitors, but this is not the same as the surveillance of the FBI in the United States. What's more, Lin Feng promised to build a "hacker base" for him and concentrate on the study of hacker jishu, and he was very satisfied.

"Kevin, you just said that you have a way for a supercomputer, what can you do?" Lin Feng asked back to the topic.

"Boss, I wonder if you've heard of Bruce-Allen?" said Kevin Mitnick.

Lin Feng shook his head blankly, and the others shook their heads after thinking about it.

"Hehe, no wonder you haven't heard of it, you're all software designers, but Bruce Allen specializes in hardware and software. Kevin Mitnick explained with a smile.

"Boss, Bruce is a crazy computer enthusiast like me, but he's a crazy computer hardware enthusiast and I'm a crazy internet jishu and radio enthusiast. Kevin Mitnick laughed and explained, "Back in 1998, Bruce built three supercomputers to calculate gravitational waves that had never been observed before. His first supercomputer employed a Linux cluster, using 48 Alpha servers, each using a 300Mhz, 64-bit AXP processor. The server cluster is housed in a slightly larger space than a closet, and the servers are not even racked, as rack systems are much more expensive. The connection server uses 3Com's Superstack with a speed of 100 Mbit/s, and uses an Ethernet switch. The total cost is $70,000"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. A supercomputer costs $70,000 -- that's incredible.

"Oh, his latest DIY (do-it-yourself) supercomputer, which uses 6,720 Intel Pentium 4 processors, is ranked 204th on the shijie supercomputer list after it was built. And that cost him a total of $2 million. Kevin Mitnick said with admiration.

Lin Feng and the others were even more shocked when they heard this. $2 million can be built into a supercomputer ranked 204th in the world, which is also very good. Of course, Bruce Allen's supercomputer still uses the operating system commonly used in the industry, which is not the same as the supercomputer self-system designed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the purpose is also different. Bruce Allen's supercomputer has a relatively simple function, while the supercomputer commonly referred to as it is more versatile. That's why the price gap is so big.

"Then where is he, can he work for our company?" asked Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, boss, he's here. When I left the United States, I brought him with me. Kevin Mitnick snickered.

At this moment, an American about Kevin Mitnick's age walked in.

"Hey, you are Lin Feng, I have seen you in various newspapers and magazines in the United States, but you are really young. Bruce Allen came in and looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Aaron, I didn't expect you to come to our company, I am really excited. Lin Feng stood up excitedly. …,

Although the "second shijie" is a game software company, if it can also be strong in hardware, it will undoubtedly make the "second shijie" waist straighter. Moreover, its games will also be able to realize their dreams - global connectivity

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, before I joined the company, there was only one requirement. Bruce Allen said with a serious face.

"Say, Bruce, if I can help, I will. Lin Feng patted his chest and said.

"Great, Mr. Lin, if you can get Miss Avril to sing a song for my 7-year-old daughter on her birthday, I will do it for Mr. Lin, no, for the boss. Bruce Allen said with an excited face.

Lin Feng was stunned.

"Hehe, boss, Bruce's daughter is a huge fan of Avril, and according to the relationship between the boss and Avril, this shouldn't be difficult," Kevin Mitnick explained with a smile.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it's simple. It's just that Avril is now in the United States, I'm afraid in the short term," Lin Feng frowned and said.

"Hehe, it's okay, as long as there is the promise of the boss. What's more, I've heard that Avril seems to be preparing for her first global concert trip. I heard that China is Miss Avril's focus country. Bruce Allen said, touching the minibus.

Lin Feng listened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It seems that Avril is not a Raptors this time. ()…… ，
