Speaking of compatibility, Noyce quickly nodded yes, and explained: "The compatibility of the PC does not only mean that it can be compatible with the number of computers produced by CPT, but that it can be compatible with functions, uses, resource sharing, etc. ”

"You mean that a PC can be connected to a Cray I computer and become a stand-alone terminal?" Seymour hurriedly asked, and sure enough, he got to the point, and it was true.

Although IBM's computer is powerful and versatile, there is only one machine. After buying it back, if there are many people who need to use it, even if the machine is powerful, it will not be able to respond to so many work requests immediately.

Therefore, there is a limit to the number of users of each level of computer, once it is out of a certain range, it will lead to a decrease in the operation of the entire machine, and eventually the system will crash if it is strict. Usually they will only let 1o multiple tasks run in parallel at the same time, and if they encounter some urgent tasks, they have to shut down the process of other tasks.

The operation is very complicated, and there is no image operating system in this era, so once there is an incident, it will make those computer operators feel very crazy.

However, in the architecture designed by Alex, the PC, as each terminal, can handle a certain amount of trivial work in itself. Unless you encounter some complex calculations and need to apply for resource help from a level computer, you can complete it on your own machine.

In addition, each machine can communicate with each other on the Internet, and carry out some digital interaction. There is even the ability to share resources. What's more, the price per PC is as cheap as the one given for a class-end computer.

As long as those who have purchased a CPT computer and buy a few more PCs back, they will be able to maximize the performance of the computer. Comparatively, IBM's computer is quite chicken, not to mention the complexity of operation, expensive and not widely used, just a little comparison, you will immediately get CPT computer due to IBM's computer.

Excited Seymour learned further. How ARK PCs work over the Internet, how resources are shared, and more. He suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "It's really good! I've got a way to improve the computing power of the Cray I-Computer! ”

This was said very abruptly, and Noyce and the other young people didn't understand what Seymour was talking about at all, only Alex moved in his heart after hearing it, and thought about it carefully. Sure enough, there is a way to suppress IBM in terms of computer computing.

"Do you want to ......?"

"Haha. That's right. Alex! I've been thinking about how I can get over IBM in computer computing right away, but now I've finally found a way! Since a Clay I can't beat them. So how about two, three, or even four! ”

After listening to Seymour's words, the eight young people suddenly realized that they had figured out the guò computer network, and made out digital communication, collaborative work, and resource sharing, so that several computers could work together to solve a problem, and improve the computer computing degree in disguise.

In fact, the real-level computer itself is composed of countless computer units, but it is in a computer, and many CPU-like components work at the same time, but in the era of no LAN and Internet, it is very difficult for different computers to work together.

Some people may have thought of this solution, but it has never been realized.

Now Seymour? Clay saw that the PC computers of ARK Company had already realized mutual docking, digital interaction, resource sharing, etc., so as long as they studied further, they could also work together.

Alex should have thought of this method earlier, but he was busy with various things these days, and his energy was exhausted and haggard, so he didn't think that he could find another way to improve his computer skills.

In fact, it is no wonder that he is bent on making computers that are faster and more powerful. As for Seymour's ability to think of it, it's because he's been concentrating on this field and hasn't been distracted by other things.

At the same time, this method is also a trick, and it is not really an IBM computer.

The two "Cray I" computers work together, not to mention adding their computing power, which is about 7o% of their computing power.

If there are more computers working together, this proportion may further decrease, and the specific situation depends on what architecture Seymour uses to achieve it, and the collaboration between computers will definitely be promoted in the future.

"Seymour, are you sure you can do it soon?" Alex asked a little worriedly, he didn't want to make a fuss, after all, things are too complicated now, and if there is an accident, the consequences may be very serious.

"No problem!"

Seymour? With a wave of his hand, Clay became refreshed, and it felt as if his whole body was on fire.

He adds: "Actually, I had this idea for a long time, but I was thinking about developing the latest model of computer as soon as possible, and I didn't think about it that much. Now after looking at the PCs produced by ARK, the idea is becoming clearer and more feasible. As long as you can show me how your machines are connected to the Internet and what protocols they work with, I'll be able to handle the rest. ”

Alex nodded in agreement. Of course, it is feasible, and in the field of computers in later generations, some people have even developed a structural model that allows PCs all over the world to work together, and its computing power is simply amazing. And that's just to take advantage of, those idle pnetbsp; However, what Seymour is going to do now is certainly not the kind that Alex knows, but a more concise, convenient and fast way of working together, which improves the so-called computer computing degree in disguise.

"Well, I'm relieved to have you like this!" A boulder in Alex's heart has finally landed, and since Seymour is so sure, he naturally has his certainty.

Seeing this, Noyce, Moore and other young people were dumbfounded, and Eugene, who was a little anxious, immediately asked: "Then what about our ark PC?" Do you want to ......?"

"Ahem!"

"Ahem!"

Noyes and Moore coughed loudly, interrupting Eugene's words and causing everyone to look at them. Some people asked with concern, "What's wrong with you two?" Is it a cold? ”

"Nope! No! ”

"Cold? Of course not, I just accidentally choked on it. ”

Alex, who knew them very well, had long known the minds of these young people. It's just that he suppressed these young people too much, and at the same time controlled the ARK company very well, so they made them obey Alex's words. Now it seems that this may be too much, or we have to loosen the reins appropriately, so that the other party can do their best for themselves.

Thinking of this, Alex then said: "Even if Seymour has a way to solve IBM's problems, we will push out the PC, preferably quietly, and see how the situation goes." ”

This is also a matter for him, after all, there are two ways to solve the problem, one is ready-made, and the other needs further research to be obtained. If he had to choose one of the two, Alex might just choose Seymour's method, after all, that solution is the most straightforward and effective.

Doesn't IBM claim that their company's computers are the fastest and most advanced in the world? Before they could secure their first place, CPT introduced this method of computer collaboration, so that those companies and research institutes that bought "Cray I" computers could add up the computing power of multiple computers.

In this way, CPT will be able to declare that the fastest computing in the world is still the "Cray I" computer, and it is still far from the kind of IBM. Once such a thing is announced, it is estimated that IBM will not be able to sit still.

As for the personal PC of the ARK company, it can also be seized of the opportunity to launch it. Perhaps after the goods can be rolled out, those who are eyeing it will feel that in addition to the first-class computers, there is such a computer market to compete in.

For the abilities of Noyes, Moore and others, Alex is ten at ease, and a hundred at ease.

These young people, without Alex's help, were able to create legendary companies such as "Fairchild" and "Intel". Now, with Alex's financial and human support, as well as forward-looking guidance from the future of the times, even ordinary talents can quickly make results. Not to mention these bulls in the computer world!

In fact, too!

The PC developed by ARK has now had a performance close to the early 8O, which can realize functions such as copy and print, multi-machine networking, word processing, audio and video processing, entertainment games, etc. For the software business, Alex did not spin it off and set up a new department.

Alex believes that now that PCs are just getting started, there is no need for an open architecture, and there is no need to juggle so many different models of hardware like Microsoft. It only takes a full-featured, high-performance PC to be produced, and then users will naturally buy it.

He asked ARK to develop a closed architecture, using an integrated approach to manufacturing and production PCs. The result of this is, on the one hand, to ensure that ARK has absolute control over the PC, and on the other hand, it can reduce the failure rate, production costs, maximize the use of hardware performance, and so on.

This direction is correct, as for what the PC opportunity will look like in the future, Alex is not easy to say, he can only take one step at a time to see one step at a time. (To be continued!)
