This is a bit difficult to do, and the products that Lianchuang Technology can provide are less than one-third of what General Motors requires. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Academician Chen, can the computing speed of the Shenwei-II machine be improved?" For this matter, Lin Zheng made a special trip to find the busy Academician Chen Zuoning to see if he could think of a way.

"If you use the alpha21264 processor, it can be increased to up to 1.68 trillion times per second, but the cost will rise a lot," Chen Zuoning said, but she was a little puzzled: "Mr. Lin, we can't produce alpha21264 ourselves now, we can only import it, it's better to wait for our own Shenwei processor to be produced and use our own, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Lin Zheng said with a wry smile: "General Motors is going to purchase a set of supercomputers for car crash simulation experiments and other safety tests, and I want to see if we can sell our supercomputers to Americans." ”

“……”

Academician Chen Zuoning's mouth opened into an O-shape: Selling supercomputers to Americans? Such a crazy idea, no unit or individual engaged in supercomputers in China dared to think of it!

After a short period of shock and stunned, Academician Chen Zuoning had an inexplicable look on his whole person: "Mr. Lin, what you said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I come to you as a busy man?" Lin Zheng nodded seriously: "And I thought about it seriously, and I think that the company should add another supercomputer." ”

Lin Zheng's words are not nonsense, he is really seriously considering this matter, high-performance computing and technological innovation has affected almost all business levels of the company, and the impact on the company's operation and efficiency will be more and more significant, the new supercomputer to bring about the increase in computing power, will improve the company's decision-making and improve product quality to provide more help.

In this GM profile, GM mentions that issues such as design changes that used to take months or weeks to resolve now take hours or even minutes; In the past, it took them an average of 48 months to launch a new car to the market, but now with advanced computer technology. This cycle can now be shortened to about 18 months, and the next step is to shorten it to 12 to 14 months.

This point brought too much shock to Lin Zheng, so Lianchuang Technology needs a supercomputer, a supercomputer that runs faster. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of enterprise informatization, and all of this needs supercomputers to assist.

The temptation to sell supercomputers to Americans is too great, and this is not only something that 56 has never done before, but also something that the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lenovo Group and other companies have never done. Academician Chen Zuoning was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and his feet walked back and forth like a spring: "Let me think about it...... Let me think...... Mr. Lin, what did you just say that GM has for the speed of this supercomputer? ”

Lin Zheng: "4 trillion times per second." ”

"Oh, yes, it's 4 trillion times per second, and if we want to increase the speed of Shenwei to at least 4 trillion times per second, we still need to ......" She obviously had an idea, but before the idea came out, she immediately rejected it: "No, no, although this can bring about an increase in computing speed, the efficiency has decreased...... And the operating system is a big problem. The operating system of our supercomputer is still a little bit worse......"

After turning for 10 minutes, Chen Zuoning finally stopped: "Mr. Lin, if I can have a year, I am forty percent sure that I can make the supercomputer required by General Motors." ”

"A year?" Lin Zheng immediately frowned: "No, it's too long, it only takes half a year on IBM's side." ”

Lianchuang Technology has no advantages, and if it is shorter than IBM in terms of delivery time, it is basically equivalent to Lianchuang Technology losing this opportunity, which makes Lin Zheng a little unacceptable.

"But it will take at least a year," Academician Chen Zuoning was also helpless: "The architecture, cooling system, internal optimization of the processor, and recompilation of the operating system...... These places require a lot of manpower to deal with. Unless you also stop the research and development of Sunway embedded processors and server processors, the entire business department will go all out to work on this supercomputer. ”

"No! Absolutely not! Lin Zheng rejected this suggestion without thinking: "Shenwei series processors are the first priority, and this will not change because of anything." ”

What a joke, it's certainly good to be able to sell supercomputers to the Americans. But this can't be based on affecting the company's own development, even if General Motors patted its chest and promised itself, "As long as you stop the research and development work of the second CPU business department to make a supercomputer for me, even if the performance is a little worse and the price is a little more expensive, I will not agree to do this."

Chen Zuoning was a little unwilling, she smacked her lips: "But ...... GM over there"

"Negotiate with General Motors at a peak speed of 1.2 trillion operations per second."

"But the Americans will never agree," Chen Zuoning was really reluctant to give up. This is the first time China has exported supercomputers, not to mention whether it can make money, this is still second, the key is a huge honor, selling supercomputers to General Motors of the United States, tsk, it sounds like it makes people feel uplifted: "It's really 1.2 trillion times per second, we don't have any chance at all...... How about 1.5 trillion times per second? 1.5 trillion times per second, we are completely sure ......"

"Academician Chen, listen to me," Seeing Chen Zuoning's excited appearance, Lin Zheng suddenly regretted it, but this thought flashed in his heart, and he pressed his hands to signal her not to be so excited. Seeing that Chen Zuoning was finally able to control his emotions, Lin Zheng said: "I think the company still needs to add another supercomputer order, for you, two supercomputer systems are enough for you to be busy, while you are now accumulating a little more technology, there is no way to sell supercomputers to Americans today, we will definitely be able to sell supercomputers to Americans in the future." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm too excited," Academician Chen Zuoning also realized that his reaction just now was a little inappropriate, and he hurriedly apologized to Lin Zheng: "I'm just ......"

"I can understand," nodded, Lin Zheng said, "But please ask Academician Chen to make a plan for me." ”

"Huh?" Chen Zuoning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You just plan to take this opportunity to announce to the world that our Lianchuang Technology can make a supercomputer?" ”

This is ready to borrow the momentum of General Motors, but to be honest, Chen Zuoning also thinks that this method is good, although it is impossible for General Motors to purchase the supercomputer of Lianchuang Technology, but with the opportunity of General Motors to purchase supercomputers, the supercomputer of Lianchuang Technology will make a high-profile appearance, which is indeed a good way: General Motors needs a supercomputer with a peak computing speed of at least 4 trillion times per second, but other units that need supercomputers may not need such a high computing speed.

………………………………

As Lin Zheng expected, when the General Motors headquarters received an official letter from Lianchuang Technology saying that they were willing to provide a supercomputer to General Motors, Wagner, the president and CEO of General Motors, sprayed a sip of black tea on the official letter in front of him.

"Chinese...... Is this a joke on us? Throwing the letter into the trash, Wagner asked his secretary in confusion: "Supercomputer?" Chinese also build supercomputers? ”

"In fact, they can actually build supercomputers," Murphy, Wagner's secretary, did his homework: "In the top 500 supercomputers, there are Chinese nine supercomputers on the list, but ......" Murphy then added: "Their fastest supercomputer is only 14th, and the second Chinese supercomputer is 88th." ”

"Oh?" Wagner raised his eyebrows with interest: "The Chinese's supercomputer can be ranked 14th in the TOP500?" ”

Although GM believes that the Chinese market is a huge market and the main profit growth point of GM in the future, Wagner never thought that the Chinese could make a difference in the field of supercomputers, which represent cutting-edge technology, and now heard his secretary say that the Chinese can be shortlisted for 9 seats in the global supercomputer TOP500, and the highest ranking can actually reach 14th, I can't help but be very interested: "Their supercomputer can meet our requirements?" ”

It's not that Wagner is really interested in Lianchuang Technology's supercomputer, thinking that Lianchuang Technology can compete with IBM in the field of supercomputers, but he is just a little curious.

"I'm afraid not," Murphy shook his head, "The maximum computing speed of the supercomputer that Lianchuang Technology can provide us with is 1.8 trillion operations per second, which is still far from our speed of 4 trillion operations per second. ”

He didn't know that the supercomputer developed by Lianchuang Technology had a computing speed of only 1.2 trillion times per second, and Lin Zheng increased it by 50%.

"Then tell the Chinese that their supercomputers don't meet the requirements of General Motors."

But two days later, Murphy came again with a tangled face: "Boss, it's the Chinese and the supercomputer again." ”

"Didn't you tell them that we want a supercomputer with 4 trillion operations per second." Wagner was a little displeased: Murphy, what are you going to do?

Murphy's face was wrinkled: "I said yes, but they said they could provide 4 trillion supercomputers per second, and they wanted to put up a global public tender for this supercomputer......"

“fuck！” Wagnerden was furious and slapped the table hard: "How does GM do it, does it need someone else to dictate?" (To be continued.) )
