Yang Lin nodded and smiled: "Okay, then let's go and see the dawning supercomputer first." ”

The group chatted while entering the Matrix Technology Building, and then took the downward elevator into the underground computer room.

The Sugon 6000A supercomputer room occupies three of the six basement floors of the Matrix Technology Building, with a total area of more than 12,000 square meters.

This computer is jointly developed by the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dawning Company, and its core processor is the Xeon series processor of Loongson octa-core and part of Intel, and the system adopts the HPP architecture involved independently, consisting of 4640 computing units, using efficient heterogeneous collaborative computing technology, and the system includes 9280 general-purpose CPUs and 4640 dedicated GPUs.

The computing network uses unidirectional 40Gbps QDRInfiniband technology, the core storage uses the self-involved Parator high-speed IO system, and uses the IntelXeon5650+Fermi architecture NVIDIA Tesla C2050 general-purpose processor, running Linux operating system.

In addition, the Sugon 6000A also applies a number of leading technologies such as the QDRIfiniband high-speed switching module (HSSM), large-scale system management and scheduling system (Gridview), and high-performance computer security system (NiKey) independently developed by Sugon, making this computer an independent and controllable high-performance computer system in China.

This supercomputer system is the same model as the Dawning 6000 supercomputer that was put into operation at the National Supercomputing Center in Shencheng two years ago, but compared with the supercomputing system in Shencheng, this supercomputer of Matrix Digital uses the latest model of CPU and GPU. The peak computing power exceeds 5,000 trillion operations per second, and the measured performance reaches 2,271 trillion operations per second. Performance is nearly doubled.

What's more, it's a supercomputer system designed for a "cloud computing" environment. Emphasizing the balanced design and dynamic scheduling capabilities of the system, it can not only provide cloud services for MatrixOS system users, but also provide various scientific computing services for scientists of the Matrix Research Institute.

Yang Lin came here today, on the one hand, to inspect the Matrix Technology Building, which is about to be put into use, and on the other hand, to take a look at the Matrix Supercomputing Center, which is known as the sixth largest supercomputing center in China.

At present, China's Ministry of Science and Technology has approved the establishment of five national supercomputer centers, namely the National Supercomputing Tianjing Center, the National Supercomputing Yangcheng Center, the National Supercomputing Shencheng Center, the National Supercomputing Xiangcheng Center, and the National Supercomputing Qilu Center.

This supercomputer of Matrix Digital is the sixth largest supercomputing center in China, and it is also the only enterprise-level supercomputing center that is not open to the public.

It stands to reason that supercomputers, especially those that perform more than a petascale operation. It is not something that ordinary enterprises can have, and in China, even some central enterprises do not have such supercomputer systems.

Any supercomputer is a money-burning machine, and the electricity they need to run consumes is equivalent to that of a city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

But Matrix Digital is different, on the one hand, now Matrix Digital holds the Mix architecture processor and MatrixOS operating system, Matrix Language, the three major weapons, any mobile Internet company in the world has to look at the face of Matrix Digital, Yang Lin does not have to worry about the future profits of Matrix Digital. Naturally, the nearly $100 million annual running cost of a supercomputer is not a problem.

On the other hand, after the Internet conference more than a month ago, Matrix Digital has established its own position in China, and Yang Lin was able to obtain this supercomputing system. It was also the high-level route that was approved by the Council of Elders.

Otherwise, such strategic equipment involving the country's layout in the field of science and technology is like this. It is simply impossible for a private enterprise to get it.

Yang Lin looked at the rows of starry gray cabinets, and a trace of all thoughts flashed in his eyes.

In his opinion. These cabinets represent not only the present of Matrix Digital, but also the future of Matrix Digital.

In addition to playing a role in cloud applications, scientific computing, and other fields, this supercomputer is used. More importantly, he will provide the hardware foundation for Yang Lin to develop real artificial intelligence in the future.

In fact, as Yang Lin's research on artificial intelligence technology deepened, he felt more and more that the computing power of artificial intelligence computers was insufficient.

At present, the performance of the server in his home has been exerted to the extreme, and the anthropomorphism rate of the system has reached 99.999%, but in Yang Lin's opinion, this is far from enough.

But at this time, there is not much room to improve artificial intelligence from the software field, so Yang Lin can only start with hardware, which is also the original intention of him to find a way to obtain this supercomputer system.

"Mr. Yang, Shuguang 6000A is expected to be installed in half a month, but at least two more months of commissioning can be put into operation, the relocation of the head office can start a week later, we have preliminarily planned a six-month relocation time, it is expected that after six months, all companies under the matrix holding group will move into the matrix technology building."

Kong Chengqing, vice president of Matrix Holding Group, said on the side.

Yang Lin smiled and said: "Lao Kong, thank you for your hard work, the relocation plan will be submitted to me as soon as possible, I will approve it one day earlier, and the company can also move one day earlier." ”

Kong Chengqing laughed and said: "Mr. Yang, don't worry, the relocation plan has been almost prepared, and it is estimated that it will be handed over to you tomorrow." ”

Yang Lin said: "This is the best!" ”

Next, Yang Lin, accompanied by Kong Chengqing and Liu Yuanzheng, visited the office area, leisure and entertainment area, shopping area, catering area and medical and health center of the Matrix Technology Building.

The entire Matrix Technology Building is almost equivalent to a large commercial center, and most of the services required by Matrix Digital employees can be found in it.

Even Yang Lin himself has his own office and mansion on the top floor of the building.

This mansion has a floor area of more than 500 square meters, which has an indoor swimming pool, audio-visual game room, bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and even a helipad.

If it weren't for Lin Qingya's Transwarp Technology being too far away from the matrix digital, Yang Lin would even have the intention of pressing his home here. (To be continued.) )
