CHAPTER XXXV
June 17, 1961, Dragon Boat Festival. However, it is not fashionable in Europe and the United States, although there are some activities in Chinatown, but the impact is not great.
The development of the Bay of Pigs incident (Battle of Kuala Beach) is being shown on television. The anti-Cuban anti-Cuba of the United States has reached a climax, but it has not yet evolved into a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, and when Cuba hugs the Soviet Union's lap, it will be the peak of the Cold War.
After returning from SAB, Catherine let out a long sigh of relief.
Lately, she has found herself more and more burdened with her breasts, and she clearly feels that way when she dances.
And now she has to wear a practice dress with a bra or a bra, otherwise, when dancing, her breasts will go up and down, which makes her uncomfortable, and there will be a small bump.
If you have too big breasts, you can't dance ballet, right?
And as she grows older, she doesn't wear the original children's crotch pantyhose now, but changes into professional ballet pantyhose, but she can't get used to it.
Myself...... It's really going to grow up.
"There are so many creatures in the world, and we should be grateful to be reborn as human beings......"
Catherine plays with her Ah Q spirit.
Changing into her original practice clothes, Catherine found that the clothes were much smaller.
Looking at it again, not only has my breasts grown, but even my height has increased by at least 10 centimeters.
She shook her head, then picked up a letter she had just received.
That's the point now.
The letter was from Seymour Clay.
Catherine had been in contact with this man for a long time, mainly to discuss computer issues. Because this person is the one who makes computers.
In fact, my own GameTV was also completed under the construction and guidance of the other party.
However, the other party was deep in the dense forests of Wisconsin, and Catherine did not have the spare time to go deep into it to find him.
Seymour Clay completed the world's first transistor-based supercomputer in 1958, which became an important milestone in the history of computer development. In the future, he will be called the "father of supercomputers".
Catherine took this person very seriously.
Because this is related to her future plans, and whether she can see the real sense of the computer in her opinion a few years or more than ten years in advance.
Seymour Clay will be famous in the United States in the future, and there is even an award named after him. The biological and medical communities use Clay's computers to fight cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases; Nearly every new car model launched by car manufacturers around the world is designed using computers made by Clay; Cray computers help meteorological experts around the world to make accurate weather forecasts to prevent people's lives and property from suffering heavy losses in disastrous weather; NASA has come up with an estimate: using a Cray computer to simulate a launch of the Space Shuttle would save $20 million per launch in terms of fuel......
By the beginning of the 21st century, 220 of the world's more than 400 supercomputers were created by Clay. The U.S. Department of Defense called him "the wise star of the American nation." As one of the most important figures in the field of high-performance computers, he personally designed the entire hardware and operating system of the Cray supercomputer, which would be launched in 1975, including the operating system, which he also wrote in the machine's qì code, and most surprisingly, there were no bugs or errors.
Catherine knew this person because a netizen complained to her about Windows bugs and vulnerabilities on the Internet, and by the way, she moved this Seymour Clay out.
Otherwise, Catherine probably wouldn't know about the legendary father of supercomputers.
Seymour Clay is actually a well-known figure now, and he is known as the "Hermit of the Jungle".
IBM prepares to propose a supercomputer, 360 β yes, 360 β and Clay goes deep into the woods of Wisconsin in response to IBM's threat, which is where his name comes from.
Catherine opened the letter and looked at the things on it, but she was a little embarrassed.
"C is an impeccable language, but there are some flaws in this language. Compared with ordinary machine qì code or other code, although C language is standardized and easy to use, it will undoubtedly slow down the operation of the system......"
Catherine was a little laughing and crying, and later generations of C language could be known for its speed. Languages like Java are really faster than C languages. ,
You know, Windows is based on C - although Bill Gates' favorite is Basic.
"And C is dangerous, and if it's not programmed properly, there's a good chance of burning the hardware...... In fact, before I wrote to you, I tried to write a program in C, but the processor burned down because of a mistake. β
The processor in this era does not have any temperature protection settings, and if the temperature is exceeded, the processor may burn out, and where is like the future, when the CPU reaches 100 degrees, it will automatically power off.
"But I have to admit that the application of integrated circuits that you proposed may be very good, and I personally think that you should probably refer to Fairchild for the decision of the component semiconductor company you are considering."
Catherine shrugged her shoulders, anyway, the patent for the integrated circuit is here for herself.
I applied for this thing in 1958, after all, it's the foundation of the foundation of computers.
It's just a pity that this technology is unlikely to bring a lot of benefits to Catherine for at least a decade, but its spin-off GameTV is likely to be popular.
βARKγβ
Catherine also put the name of her yet-to-be-founded company on the paper.
Taken from 2012, Chinese means ark.
"Apple, part of the Ark Group, launched GameTV...... Hey, that sounds really good. β
It is indeed very YY content.
"Maybe it's Microsoft Corporation, a subsidiary of the Ark Group, that launched the Windows operating system?"
Catherine laughed.
On the other side, in the school, Lisa is also discussing something with the instructor of the costume design, and Jenny and Ada are also nearby, and give opinions from time to time.
"Kate is so feminist-minded, she's like a 19th-century girl with no opinions...... Well, we need to change that. β
"But, Lisa. Why does it seem like you're working in the exact opposite direction? β
"Uh......"
β¦β¦
As a pure person, I said that the plot is all in the service of the whole story, and the real depressing plot will not appear.
