Chapter 1357: Thirst for Computing Resources & Joint Encirclement and Suppression
readx;
Major General Li, who did not know the origin of the military who came to inspect the work, or who came to inspect the work at all, immediately turned his head to look at Director Huang of the 56th Institute, who came with him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Director Huang immediately nodded and said: "Our 56 Institute has been tracking the alpha processor used in the Shenwei-2003 supercomputer produced by Lianchuang Technology, the processor used in this supercomputer is improved on the basis of the latest alpha21264, and the production of CPU is also completed by Lianchuang Technology's own wafer factory. ”
With Director Huang's words, Major General Li's face was full of doubts, and then he nodded to Lin Zheng with satisfaction: "Mr. Lin, amazing, amazing." ”
Of course, Lin Zheng had to be modest, and hurriedly said: "I'm ashamed, speaking of which, we are still the ones who picked the fruit, if it weren't for the foresight of our people's army and the purchase of the architecture and intellectual property rights of the alpha processor, we would not have been able to do it, we are also ready to use the alpha21264 improved model used on Shenwei-2003 as the basis, and plan to develop a supercomputer with a maximum floating point operation speed of 100 trillion times per second in 5 years." ”
"100 trillion times per second?" Major General Lee was taken aback! After being taken aback, Major General Li's first reaction was not to be excited, but to ask with a skeptical expression: "Mr. Lin, are you serious?" Are you really going to develop a supercomputer with a speed of more than 100 trillion operations per second? ”
At present, the fastest supercomputer in China runs at a speed of multiple blocks, just over a trillion times per second.
At present, there are only 4 supercomputers with the highest floating point operation speed of more than one trillion times per second in China, and those that barely cross the threshold of trillion times per second are not counted, and the fastest is the two supercomputers Dawning 4000 and Shenteng 6800, which have just been built and officially put into operation, and their computing speed has reached 4.2 trillion times per second and 5.3 trillion times per second respectively.
Of course, this speed is nothing in the world, and it can barely find a place in the top 40 of the supercomputer TOP500, but if it is really possible to develop a supercomputer with a maximum floating point operation speed of 100 trillion times per second, then whether it is scientific research value or other values, it is not simply "huge" The word can be described, this is a national heavy weapon at all!
But for Lianchuang Technology. From 500 billion times per second to 100 trillion times per second, this is equivalent to crossing several steps in 5 years, which is not easy! The four major supercomputer development and research centers in China have just put the development of supercomputers at the level of trillions of times per second on the agenda.
"Of course it's true," Lin Zheng nodded. "With the continuous development of market demand, the user's demand for supercomputer computing speed will be higher and higher, at this stage, hundreds of billions of times per second supercomputer is the most mainstream product in the world, but in the past few years, the international mainstream supercomputer computing speed will not be less than 20 trillion times per second. And in the future, with the development of network technology, the requirements for the computing power of supercomputers will be higher, we have analyzed, it is estimated that in 10 years, there will be trillions of supercomputers, no refueling. ”
Major General Li was dumbfounded: a supercomputer with a speed of trillions of operations per second?
He also knows a lot about supercomputers, and knows very well how much a supercomputer that reaches 100 billion times per second will play a big role in the national economy, people's livelihood, and scientific and technological development, but a supercomputer with trillions of times per second?
Sounds simply insane!
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Director Huang of the 56th Institute.
Director Huang looked at Lin Zheng with a fanatical face, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Lin, will you develop a supercomputer with trillions of times per second?" ”
"Of course." Lin Zheng took it for granted: "The speed of other people's supercomputers is moving towards faster, higher, and stronger, if we don't follow up, won't we even be able to eat leftovers?" ”
A technology-based high-tech enterprise, constantly updating technology is the foundation to maintain their survival, do not follow up the development direction of international supercomputer technology? What kind of crazy person does that have to be?
Major General Li is a little unable to understand Lin Zheng's madness, in his opinion, the supercomputer department of Lianchuang Technology is simply not like the four major supercomputer R&D and manufacturing centers in China, relying on national financial appropriations to maintain, and its own investment is more than 9 percent, why are you so crazy?
Chen Zuoning's eyes were shining.
There is no doubt that Lin Zheng's decision is not calm in any way. Lin Zheng does this with a very dead taste, and if you can't control your investment, if you can't control your investment, you're basically on the list of death. But she knows better that it is impossible to succeed in this kind of high-tech industry that represents the pinnacle of science and technology without a little crazy energy, and Lin Zheng is obviously a crazy technical maniac, but he has a good balance between technology and the market. Perhaps, the computer department of Lianchuang Technology will also have a chance to develop into China's IBM one day?
It's just that for Major General Li, Lin Zheng's words are so reasonable that he is speechless.
The reason is very simple, if the leaders of the four major supercomputing centers in China say this to themselves, they can also be considered to be using empty cannons and "cheating" finances in this way, but how much money can Lianchuang Technology get from the country in a year? If it had been maintained by state financial allocation, Lianchuang Technology would have starved to death.
opened his mouth, he was just about to say something, but Sun Yafang suddenly rushed in, and the whole person was filled with a kind of crazy excitement.
What's going on? Looking at Sun Yafang, who was almost crazy, Lin Zheng was a little puzzled.
"Good news, Mr. Lin, good news," rushed to Lin Zheng without any image, Sun Yafang was out of breath, but her face was very excited: "Good news......
"Don't worry, speak slowly," Lin Zheng said, handing over a glass of water, and asked curiously, "What is the matter?" ”
After taking a sip of water and smoothing out, Sun Yafang was much better, took a deep breath, but did not answer immediately, but looked around at everyone first, and then said: "I just received a call from the Manned Space Engineering Project Department of the Aerospace Industry Group, and they will send a deputy commander to inspect our Shenwei-2003." ”
What the? The leading comrades of the manned space project department of the Aerospace Industry Group are ready to inspect our supercomputer? As soon as Sun Yafang's words came out, all the people of Lianchuang Technology on the scene were almost collectively confused: what is the situation? Why did the people from the Manned Space Project Department come to inspect our supercomputer? Can anyone explain?
Of course, the manned space project is inseparable from supercomputers, and everyone knows this, but everyone does not understand why the Aerospace Industry Group suddenly extended an olive branch to itself without warning. Whether it is compared with qualifications, relationships, and connections, Lianchuang Technology cannot be compared with the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Parallel Computing Engineering Technology Center, the Computer Research Institute of the National Defense University and the Magic Supercomputing Center.
Lin Zheng was also stunned for a moment. But his reaction was much faster, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately held back his excitement and asked, "This is really double happiness...... Did the Manned Space Project Department say anything about the investigation? ”
In fact, this is also a vain question, what else can it be to investigate, isn't this lice on the bald head—is it obvious? As long as the performance of Shenwei-2003 meets the requirements of the Manned Space Project Department, it is necessary to lease the computing resources of Shenwei-2003. Buying a supercomputer outright? With the budget of the manned space project department, Lin Zheng feels that there is little hope, but even if he comes to lease a part of the computing resources, it is also a huge good news for Lianchuang Technology, which means that the level of Lianchuang Technology in supercomputer has been affirmed by the manned space project department, and what can be more exciting than this affirmation?
The answer was similar to what Lin Zheng thought, Sun Yafang said: "They mainly investigate the performance of Shenwei-2003, and if the performance can meet their requirements, they will use part of the computing resources of Shenwei-2003." ”
Major General Li was shocked!
Before, he was still wondering if Director Huang would help them say good things about the cooperation between the 56 Institute and Lianchuang Technology, but now it seems that he really thinks too much. If it is really as I think, the manned space project department will be so impatient to come to investigate? He could not have been more aware of the enormous strategic and political significance of the manned space program for the entire country. At this time, it seems that the only thing I need to do is to congratulate Lianchuang Technology.
"Mr. Lin, congratulations," he arched his hand at Lin Zheng, and Major General Li said to Lin Zheng with admiration: "Congratulations to Lianchuang Technology." ”
"Hehehe......" Lin Zheng only knew that hehe smirked.
With the example of the Department of Manned Space Projects in front, surveying and mapping, petroleum, telecommunications...... Will these big industry customers be far away? These units are loyal users of supercomputers.
Interestingly, this Shenwei-2003 is actually not the one ordered by Lianchuang Technology itself, but produced for ICQ. However, this supercomputer will be placed in China, exclusively for the use of ICQ China, and provide some computing resources for ICQ Europe, but now, there is a manned space project department. Lin Zheng began to worry about whether the computing resources of Shenwei-2003 were sufficient—Lianchuang Technology's own supercomputer had to speed up the project.
At this moment, Lin Zheng deeply felt how urgent China's demand for computing resources was, otherwise even Shenwei-2003, a supercomputer whose performance had not been verified, would be so favored...... Speaking of which, how many supercomputers are there in the entire republic with a speed of quadrillion operations per second? It is no wonder that the manned space project department was so impatient after hearing the news of the completion of the acceptance of Shenwei-2003.
……………………
Similar to what Lin Zheng thought, the domestic demand for supercomputers, which is absolutely prohibited by Batumi from exporting high-tech equipment to the republic, is simply a bottomless pit, after the Manned Space Project Department. military, telecommunications departments, banking systems, oil systems, and several major domestic fighter aircraft research and development units...... Lianchuang Technology has put forward the request for the investigation of Shenwei-2003, and some units that are eager for high-performance computing power have directly omitted the inspection, and have to book the computing resources of Shenwei-2003 directly on the phone.
Even the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is itself a supercomputer R&D and production unit, sent an official letter to Lianchuang Technology, proposing to investigate Shenwei-2003, which can be imagined to what extent the domestic demand for high-performance computing resources is high.
The result of Lin Zheng's statistics is that in just these two days, if you meet the computing resource requirements of all the units that sent official letters, you need two Shenwei-2003, no wonder many foreign computing centers are desperately increasing their computing power, this is all small money.
The offline of Shenwei-2003 is a good thing to celebrate for Lianchuang Technology, but for those guys who are ripping off, this is extremely bad news. Rothschild slammed the table without image and unscrupulously, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, now you see, 500 billion times per second supercomputer was born from the hands of our enemies, I believe everyone here knows what this speed means, and what is worse is that our enemies have not only mastered the production and research and development technology of supercomputers, but also mastered the most core CPU technology, there is nothing worse than this, if we can't unite as one and work together to deal with our enemies, Motorola's today is your tomorrow. ”
Edward. Zander would love to bring James . Rothschild kicked under the table: You said Lianchuang Technology and Lin Zheng, that bastard, just say it, but what do you mean by mentioning our Motorola?
However, Microsoft, IBM, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Nortel obviously don't care about Motorola, which has gone downhill again, nor Edward, who secretly slanders him. Jander, they are deeply aware of one thing: the wolf, this time it is really here, unlike their traditional territory that has been snatched away by this unruly bastard, it is better for them to cooperate with everyone obediently.
For the appearance of Shenwei-2003, the most disturbing is undoubtedly the blue giant IBM. As soon as Rothschild's voice fell, the representative of IBM was the first to stand up and said unscrupulously: "IBM does not think that the world needs more supercomputer manufacturers, and there are enough companies that can produce supercomputers now."
