Chapter 645: Supercomputer
However, Qiao Yunfeng didn't say it explicitly, he just described it sideways, the relationship between the Wang family and the Qiao family is okay, and naturally he will not yin the Qiao family; The Su family has always been low-key, Old Man Qiao was once under the command of Old Man Su Jie, plus the family belongs to the level of the imperial prince, and there is no dispute with the Qiao family, so it is naturally impossible.
As for the Si family and the Heng family, although they were favored by the one from Jing Shuixuan, but because the two of them were descendants of the ancient royal family, it would be a bit overstepping their authority if they were asked to command the general clan to do things, so it would not be them.
The only ones left who can make the people of the general clan do it are the three princesses, but those three princesses have always lived in seclusion, so it is impossible to know which one of them is.
Of course, this qiΔ was actually just speculation, because there was no evidence at all that Jing Shuixuan's people wanted to deal with the Qiao family.
"In short, there is one thing we must pay attention to, that is, no matter what, don't use your brains on their side now, because we won't have any chance of winning, and people won't really come to deal with the Qiao family, so just concentrate on dealing with the people who want to deal with you." Qiao Yunfeng's expression was very calm, because if he was really beaten by the three princesses, he would only consider himself unlucky.
"With their identity, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to tear up the skin with the Qiao family, right?" Zhang Yang asked softly.
"Of course, even if the Qiao family and the Cai family were like that at the beginning, the two families still have to follow each other's hippie smiles, let alone their level, even if there is 100% evidence, it can only be said to be a misunderstanding."
"That's good, as long as they are embarrassed to tear their faces, then although passive, as long as the other party dares to stretch out a hand, we will chop one off." Zhang Yang said indifferently.
Qiao Yunfeng pursed his lips. Obviously, although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Yang's ideas, he didn't want to dissuade him, in fact, no matter how fierce everyone fights, they still have to be high-sounding on the surface, as for the white knives in and out of the red knives below, no one can see them.
"Now it is different from ancient times, no matter how huge the family is, it has to maintain the stability of the country. If you go too far, the leaders above will never agree. Qiao Yunfeng said lightly, "It's the same for both sides." β
"Understood." It seems that his father-in-law is still very confident.
"Uncle Qiao, actually. I came up this time with other things to ask for. After Zhang Yang understood Qiao Yunfeng's thoughts, his heart was much more relaxed, if he came up this time, he told himself, those people can't be provoked, they can't be provoked, then it will be sad. Now that it's a delicate situation, it doesn't matter.
"Say it quickly, I'll just say that you can't go to the capital for nothing." Qiao Yunfeng said with a smile.
"I want to build a supercomputer..."Zhang Yang looked at Qiao Yunfeng, and said directly without a little hesitation.
"Supercomputer?" Qiao Yunfeng asked puzzled. "Don't you already have one?"
Zhang Yang shook his head: "It's not enough, the computing power can't meet my requirements." β
"Do you want to... Building a national supercomputer? Similar to Tianhe-1?? Qiao Yunfeng's eyes widened, "What are you doing with this thing?" You know, build a supercomputer. The hardware is not good, and the price is staggeringly expensive. Besides... I guess you have to go through approval to do this thing? β
Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "I just want to use supercomputers to develop new drugs and simulate various clinical reactions of new drugs. β
Zhang Yang naturally didn't tell Qiao Yunfeng what he really thought in his mind.
He needed a supercomputer, in addition to using its terrifying computing power, and most importantly, to use it for the Shadow system.
Because if the real Shadow System were to give full play to its terrifying functions, I am afraid that the fastest supercomputer currently on Earth would also be destroyed by its cumbersome calculations.
Not to mention the miniature supercomputer at home.
Qiao Yunfeng looked at Zhang Yang and said with a smile: "Are you really using it for clinical simulation?" β
"Of course it's true." Zhang Yang replied seriously.
Generally speaking, supercomputers are mainly used in weather forecasting, natural disaster simulation, nuclear explosion simulation, new drug development, gene sequencing, animation production and other functions.
"If that's the case, I'll say hello to the people above, but you have to budget for what kind of configuration it will be."
Zhang Yang thought about it, at present, Huaxia's latest Tianhe-2 supercomputer is equipped with 320,000 multi-core Intel Xeon Ivybridge processor chips and 480,000 Intel Xeon PHI chips, reaching 549 petaflop floating point computing power per second, which is currently the fastest supercomputer in the world.
However, this kind of computing speed still can't make all the functions of the ghost system get full play.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Yang to ask for such a high configuration at once, otherwise, this will inevitably be too conspicuous, what is the purpose of a small pharmaceutical company to build a supercomputer with such strong computing power?
"Petaflop computing power is enough, but at least petaflops of computing power per second."
Zhang Yang assessed that if all the modules of the Phantom system were to be activated, it would need at least a supercomputer with exascale computing power of 20 billion floating point operations per second, which is almost 40 times faster than the Tianhe-2 supercomputer, which is currently running the fastest in the world.
With the current national capacity in the world, it is estimated that it will not be possible to achieve it in a short period of time.
It is said that the Chrysanthemum Kingdom will develop a supercomputer with 10 billion floating point computing power per second in 2020, but that is 2020, and it is only 10 billion times, which is still far from the full function of the ghost system.
So, instead of that, for now, it's better to launch some of its powerful features first.
That is to improve the search capability of the current ghost system, because with the current ghost system, even if it is to find the images of all the surveillance cameras in a small and medium-sized city like Meining, and then synchronize and match the target video and picture, it will take a long time.
And if you update the current mini supercomputer. Replaced by a supercomputer with petaflop computing power per second, the function of using videos and pictures to find people in the Phantom system will be many times more powerful, which is very conducive to the public's intelligence gathering work.
"A quadrillion per second?"
Qiao Yunfeng grew his mouth in surprise, well, although it is said that the peak computing power of the national Tianhe-2 supercomputer has reached 54.9 billion times per second, and the continuous computing power is 33.9 billion billion-precision floating point per second.
And Zhang Yang's request is only one percent of it, but this petascale computing power, not to mention how terrifying the cost of construction is, the daily power consumption alone is estimated to have to get a small power station to supply it.
According to Qiao Yunfeng's preliminary calculations, it was calculated like this. It is estimated that the investment alone will cost at least two or three hundred million yuan, and if it is maintained, it will reach more than two million yuan per year.
"Well, it's certainly best if it could be faster." Zhang Yang nodded affirmatively.
"Ahem... Cough. Although I know that this thing is really useful to you, but this is an investment of hundreds of millions, compared to its return, do you really feel necessary? Of course, Qiao Yunfeng knew that Zhang Yang would not want to do this thing on a whim, but despite this, he still wanted to remind Zhang Yang, after all, this kind of thing is a big money-burner. Only the state can afford to play.
This Nuwa Group has just started, and he doesn't want to be carried away.
"Uncle Qiao, I have already calculated, I have prepared 1.7 billion yuan for the money I want to use to purchase the double A plot this time. As a result, there are still 500 million yuan left unused, and in addition to the construction of the Nuwa Pharmaceutical Building No. 2 and the Nuwa Future Science and Technology Building, the current center is to start preparing for the Nuwa Pharmaceutical Research Center, and the supercomputer is a key step in it. β
Qiao Yunfeng thought for a moment. nodded: "If you have already planned, I will not advise you." Building a supercomputer isn't a big deal, after all, the key CPUs are imported, but you'll have to pay for the money yourself. β
He paused, and then continued: "I can also give you a JianyΓ¬, after all, to build such a supercomputer, you must say hello to the Meining Municipal Government, and simply apply for a subsidy from the state in the name of developing new drugs. β
"This, the money is still spent by the Nuwa Group itself, but it is a problem of electricity, and we have to seek support." Zhang Yang has thought about this problem for a long time, if he applies for state subsidies, it will definitely be no problem, the key is that like that, he feels a little weird to use the state's money to collect intelligence, he doesn't want to owe this favor.
"You don't have to worry about this, the country will definitely support you."
After having Qiao Yunfeng's verbal promise, Zhang Yang's heart was a lot more relaxed, the purpose of going to the capital was almost completed, and all that was left was to meet Lin Shanshan and take a look at the development progress of the intelligent sales platform by the way.
However, he is still in a state of "injury", so naturally it is not good to blatantly run to Feiyang Technology to find them.
The next day, Zhang Yang secretly met with Lin Shanshan and Xu Danying in the hotel, chatted about the development progress, and found that the foundation was on the right track, and in a month or two at most, this thing could be officially put into the market to test the results.
On the third day, Zhang Yang went to lie Qiao's house again, Qiao Yunfeng's efficiency was extremely amazing, it was only one day, he got the supercomputer thing done, and returned to the hotel after eating at Qiao's house, and now Zhang Yang's business in the capital is almost over.
The rest is that I don't know if I want to meet with Si Yuan and tell him about being a father.
Of course, Zhang Yang is also selfish, and now that he knows the relationship between the Si family and Jing Shuixuan, then this guy should know very well who wants to deal with him, right.
He must have a secret that even Old Man Qiao didn't know.
Holding the phone, I didn't think about whether to dial it, but I unexpectedly received a call from Xichen Jinglan.
