High-end professional graphics cards, although they can't reach the level of professional graphics workstations in terms of performance, can be regarded as more or less out of reach, anyway, there is an ironclad gap between them and ordinary consumer graphics cards.

If you are a little more ruthless, directly like Yaoguang2 on the horse CPU dual-circuit routine, in a professional graphics card parallel firefight, may continue to rise in graphics processing, if the army is really not short of money, if you want to launch a high-performance flight simulator, you can only use the mining mode, simply and rudely multi-graphics cards in parallel, it can actually solve the problem.

Of course, Wang Zhengguo and his people certainly do not support this, and now the military is nothing more than trying to come up with a flight simulator to play, and the purpose of the No. 10 interceptor type is relatively simple, there is no multi-purpose capability, and there are not many things that need to be simulated within a unit of time, and the training of pilots is relatively simple, and the performance requirements of the simulator can be completely reduced.

Anyway, this is already the best solution given by Wang Zhengguo based on the current domestic situation and after integrating all aspects, as for whether the military and Chief Wen can accept it, that is another matter, with his status as a son of Shudu, there are not many suggestions that can be given now.

"I really can't develop it, it's not all computers, and it shouldn't make much difference, right?"

Mr. Wen really didn't have any concept of computers, and he forced out a layman's statement, which made Wang Zhengguo feel a little emotional, but also a little crying and laughing, so he could only explain.

"The flight simulator is more about the animation simulation requirements, so calculated, in fact, it is to let the computer do floating-point arithmetic work, and in the current CPU research and development field, almost few CPUs will integrate floating-point operation modules, and the current PC computers will rarely have graphic display requirements, including the 65C02 processor that Kaiyang Semiconductor has been offline. ”

Before the 80486 CPU in the early nineties, all kinds of PC computers based on DOS commands rarely had graphic display needs, and naturally did not need floating-point computing capabilities.

In the 80s of the Republic, few people in China knew about these problems, so it was common to encounter some scientific research units that had difficulty obtaining approval to purchase computers, only to rush to buy computers that did not have any floating-point computing power, and only to find that they had been cheated out when they used them.

The ability to operate integer numbers is almost a chicken rib for all kinds of scientific research and computing program tasks, and if floating point arithmetic is used to run scientific research calculations, it is a diametrically opposite result, and it is a result with half the effort! This is the fundamental reason why supercomputers dedicated to scientific research needs have always been more capable of floating point operations than whole point operations.

In the 80s, computers did not need graphics cards, because there was no mature graphics operating system at that time, and later when the graphics operating system matured, it immediately detonated the graphics card market, because the graphics card integrated a fairly good floating point unit, which is very friendly to the experience of various graphics data processing.

"Now Kaiyang Semiconductor's technical route has already been determined, due to the relatively backward semiconductor manufacturing technology, the so-called future for a long time will allow the CPU to specialize in integer operation ability to improve, and floating point operation will be handed over to the graphics card, so as to meet the graphics operation requirements of the future PC computer. ”

After explaining so much, in fact, Wang Zhengguo didn't think that Master Wen could fully understand, but he didn't mind, there are some things that you don't say are a matter of attitude, anyway, it will definitely be unavoidable.

In the end: "In the future, after Kaiyang will straighten out the CPU and the graphics card will also be on the road, if necessary, you can specialize in developing floating-point computing processors, and after having that thing, not to mention the graphics workstation, you just want to talk about developing a supercomputer, which is also a matter of minutes." ”

Building a supercomputer with a dedicated floating-point processor, coupled with some integer power, is much better than integrating a floating-point module on top of a CPU that specializes in integer arithmetic.

The technical similarity between the two products is too high, such as the graphics workstation boss SGI company, in the English abbreviation of this company, S stands for supercomputing business, G stands for graphics workstation, and I stands for breakthrough and insight.

Thinking of SGI, Wang Zhengguo suddenly remembered an incident in the upper plane, which may be helpful for the development of the flight simulator.

On the upper plane, the flight simulator that looks like a domestic Su-27/J-11 series fighter is developed by Fengtian Aviation University based on the SGI company's graphics workstation.

Wang Zhengguo's consideration is very simple, since the upper plane can directly import SGI workstations after the honeymoon period, and develop the J-11 flight simulation system with this as the core, there will not be too many obstacles to coming to this plane.

As for whether the use of imported workstations will lead to the robbery of Kaiyang's semiconductor business, there is definitely no need to worry.

"If you feel that the image graphics card scheme I proposed before is not up to the requirements and cannot accept the performance of the analog system, then you can only choose to import the graphics workstation, the American SGI company is currently more famous in this regard, if you want to pursue the performance of the workstation, you can try to develop a civil Yun-7 flight simulation system under the guise of importing a batch of trials. ”

This suggestion is already the best solution that can be thought of in a short period of time, Yun-7 is a civil aviation aircraft produced more in the eighties of the Republic, no matter what its quality is, but after all, there is a production quantity where it is, and it is indeed a civilian project, it can be used as a guise to import graphics workstations.

After listening to so much, Mr. Wen still got a plan to choose from, and he was finally relieved.

"Then according to the two plans you said, I will truthfully report on the progress of the tenth when I communicate with the military in charge after a while, and I dare not guarantee the result, I only depend on the choice of the military. ”

Wen Ling sat on the side and listened for a long time, but he also understood some things, and seeing that the two of them had already talked about the same, he weakly interjected.

"Why must Kaiyang Semiconductor develop a variety of processing chips, there are many companies abroad that specialize in undertaking external IC design, they can design for customers according to customer requirements, Kaiyang lack of manpower, lack of experience, these can be perfectly solved. ”
