Chapter 170: Let's start the supercomputer

This unknown supercomputer has tens of thousands of words just for the configuration introduction.

Qiqi first deleted the irrelevant explanations in these texts, leaving only the most basic configuration information.

Everyone gathered around and looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't understand it.

Qiqi explained little by little: "Although it is a supercomputer, it is essentially a computer, so it is still composed of a processor, memory, hard disk, motherboard and system, and the processor of this computer is particularly powerful." ”

She pointed to the data on the document and said slowly: "This computer is composed of 1600 nodes, you may not know what a node is, simply put, each node is equivalent to a top-of-the-line computer, which is a combination of 1600 supercomputers." ”

In this way, everyone has a little idea.

Qiqi continued: "Each node is equipped with two XE7-class 12-core 24-thread processors, as well as three XP77 coprocessors. That adds up to 3,200 super CPUs and 4,800 coprocessors......"

Li Shaoyang was dumbfounded: "12 cores, 24 threads of CPU...... Wouldn't that ......" he was a little too late.

"Theoretically, it's almost 300,000 computing cores, and you can open 100,000 thread......s at the same time," Qiqi said with a smile: "Of course, in the actual computing process, it doesn't add up like this, which involves compatibility, for example, the memory of this computer, each node is 64G, and all of them add up to 150T of memory, which is about 1.6 million G...... "Ferry the black to see the new festival."

1.6 million GB of RAM is unimaginable for people who still use 8G memory computers.

In addition, the supercomputer's storage hard disk array has reached 12.4PB, which is 13,000T, or 14 million G.

"Cut, an ultra-clear Blu-ray movie is 20g, but it can store hundreds of thousands of discs...... Li Lingzhi pouted.

"A lot, although storage has always been a bottleneck for supercomputers, in fact, we can achieve a larger amount of storage through compression technology." Qiqi shook his head.

"What this computer lacks now is a system, well, a set of 3D virtual imaging equipment." Qiqi was a little excited: "I can't wait to see what it looks like after turning it on." ”

Wei Wei frowned: "Sister, you forgot one thing, such powerful hardware, it needs a lot of power, I'm afraid we can't even turn it on." ”

Li Shaoyang smiled beside him: "I have a way to do this, Qiqi, Weiwei, the task of the two of you now is to find a set of virtual imaging equipment, as much as you want." ”

He said and took out a golden disc from the machine box: "This is the system provided by the seller, and I can't wait to see how good the supercomputer is after installing the system." ”

……

After everyone went down the mountain, Li Shaoyang lay on the black machine, holding his mobile phone and looking at the information about the supercomputer.

According to Qiqi, the world's strongest supercomputer is Huaguo's Galaxy 2, which has reached 33 quadrillion calculations per second, and its upgraded +1 supercomputer has one-tenth of the strength of Galaxy 2, which is also a quadrillion of computing power.

Li Shaoyang continued to flip through the data, the function of the Galaxy 2 supercomputer is mainly used to perform complex calculations, weather forecasting, economic data calculation of national product, earthquake and tsunami research, and astrophysics research...... Simulated nuclear tests, simulated apocalypse...... Damn, it turns out that it can still be used in the entertainment industry, and two-thirds of the characters and scenes in the movie "Avatar" are made by supercomputers.

Li Shaoyang turned off his mobile phone, and couldn't help but think about it, if he upgraded the equipment of the Eden Project and cooperated with this supercomputer, how good it would be to use a 3D printer...... Can you make Iron Man's armor, well, maybe it really can, Transformers have a play.

He couldn't sleep, and he didn't care that it was late at night, and harassed Major Yuan.

"Brother, when will I get that nuclear battery, I can't wait."

Major Yuan hadn't woken up yet, and was a little confused: "Huh? Isn't the satellite Internet open for you, and you will be able to receive the satellite signal tomorrow on Qiqi......"

Li Shaoyang smiled: "I'm talking about nuclear batteries, not satellite Internet access, besides, it's only 10G bandwidth, which is really not enough." ”

"Yes, you wait a while, I'll make a phone call, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is full of old-timers, I can't do it, by the way, they are very interested in you, and they want to invite you to meet at the Kyoto Academy of Sciences." Major Yuan said.

"I'll talk about it when I'm done." Li Shaoyang is now all about supercomputers.

……

After waiting for three days, Li Shaoyang finally received a package from the National Security Bureau and got the coveted nuclear battery. Without hesitation, he used the remaining 40 level 3 crystals and upgraded them again.

Nuclear battery quality +2 value assessment: SSS+ grade.

Capacity assessment: It can provide stable energy and can provide electricity for a medium-sized city for 100 years.

Upgrade success rate: 0.1%.

Good thing, the +2 nuclear battery has turned into a blue bagel shape, about the size of a pie. The bagel-shaped shell runs on a magnetic field, and inside the magnetic field is the battery's energy source - controlled nuclear fusion.

Although Li Shaoyang doesn't understand this, by comparing the "Ark Reactor" in the movie "Iron Man", a wonderful fact can be drawn that the nuclear battery he upgraded is only the difference between the one on Iron Man's chest and the one on Iron Man's chest.

Maybe if you upgrade it again, you can get the perfect "Ark Reactor" directly.

He didn't dare to install the battery directly, but called Qiqi, and then connected to Vic from the magic capital.

Vic is a mechanical engineer from the Atlantic Alliance, and with Qiqi's computer technology, through the cooperation of the two, the battery is finally perfectly fixed on the supercomputer.

"Don't turn it on yet......," Qiqi grabbed Li Shaoyang: "We have to wait for this machine to self-test first, and we have to see if the nuclear battery is safe." ”

Li Shaoyang was stunned: "How long does it take?" ”

Qiqi wiped a handful of sweat: "My ability is not enough, I only know that before and after the supercomputer is turned on, it needs to be maintained by professionals, and I don't know how to maintain it." ”

She looked at the machine with a complicated expression: "Do you know, our country's Galaxy No. 2 computer runs at full capacity every day, which consumes 300,000 yuan of electricity, and the annual maintenance cost is also around 10 million yuan. This kind of thing is not so simple to use. ”

"Okay, let's turn it on when the virtual imaging device comes."

……

Li Shaoyang took advantage of this opportunity to dig out a spacious space in the huge workbench in the middle of the stone house, put the machine in, and then removed the stones around the machine to leave enough space for heat dissipation.

The next day, Qiqi brought a set of satellite signal receiving equipment and set it up on the stone roof, which is equivalent to a super WiFi router.

Li Shaoyang waited patiently for a few more days, and the 3D virtual imaging equipment specially purchased from the United States arrived. He bought it for 800,000 US dollars, and now there are less than 400,000 US dollars left in Kari, which is only about 2 million Chinese dollars, and he is poor again.

And he doesn't have the luck to upgrade his virtual imaging equipment right now. I can only use it first.

After completing the complex installation process, now, on the huge workbench, eight triangular cameras around the perimeter shoot light together, and then in the center of the workbench, a 3D virtual image is formed.

After testing the virtual imaging a little, Li Shaoyang pressed the boot button of the supercomputer in the eyes of everyone's expectation!

After a slight boot sound, the virtual image in the center began to change, and countless particles converged, then combined, and finally turned into a cute cute thing like an elf.

This is the image of a supercomputer booted up, using an open-source supercomputing system and a virtual intelligent assistant approved by the AI Association.

"Deterministic language ......" supercomputer repeats over and over again in dozens of languages.

"Mandarin!" Li Shaoyang shouted excitedly.

"Hello, please enter the permission settings, you need to use the key ......"

Li Shaoyang took out the key that came with the system, so the supercomputer controlled a triangular camera, and quickly scanned the key in his hand: "Confirm the administrator, please enter the administrator's information below." ”

Almost instantly, the camera completed the scanning of Li Shaoyang's whole body, and now his own life data has become the boot password.

Li Shaoyang took out the black agent manual and put the card in it on the workbench.

The card had all his information on it, and the supercomputer began to scan, type, and finally generate a detailed database of administrators.

"Next, ask the administrator to name the system ......"

Li Shaoyang thought seriously for a while, and finally said: "Nuwa, the system is named Nuwa." ”

In an instant, the virtual image in the center began to change rapidly, the cute elf grew rapidly, and slowly a graceful woman appeared in the center, with a snake-tailed body, dressed in white veil, surrounded by fairy energy.

The supercomputer is a cow, and according to the name of "Nuwa", it vividly simulates the image of the legendary goddess.

"Hello, Administrator!" Nuwa stood in the middle, smiling like a living person, and her voice became soft and moving.

Li Shaoyang subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it, it was too realistic.

Nuwa, who was virtually imaging, was stunned for a second before slowly reaching out her hand......

Li Shaoyang's fingers and Nuwa's fingers are dotted together in the air, and at this moment, the real and the virtual coincide, and the dream and the reality meet.

Everyone had already taken out their mobile phones, and they were all desperately taking pictures at this time, excitedly recording this commemorative moment.
