Chapter 232: Small Supercomputers 2
"What's his floating-point arithmetic?" Lin Nan asked for a very ordinary data, which is also a measure of the speed of the computer.
"Its floating-point is 1.438 TFLOPS, which is 1.438 trillion floating-point operations per second, which is a little faster than the IntelASCIRed/9152 that was born in the Sandia National Laboratory in the United States in '97. Although it is much slower than the NEC Earth Simulator supercomputer to be released by the island nation recently, it cannot be ignored that we are small supercomputers, and there is no comparison between the two. "Ma Xin's knowledge of supercomputers is worthy of being an expert.
"By the way, how much does this small supercomputer cost?" Lin Nan thought for a while and asked, if the cost is not too high, you can consider mass production.
"About $50 million. This includes some R&D expenses, material research costs, and some other expenses, because of the example of this supercomputer, so the next one should be about 27 million. Ma Xin thought for a while and gave an approximate amount.
27 million, which is nearly 200 million, is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Forget it, build another one for you to use, and then step by step, develop a medium-sized supercomputer!" Lin Nan thought for a while and said. This supercomputer must not be universally used, and even if Lin Nan has money, he can't spend it like this.
This computer is used as a server for Minghe, which can be regarded as a complete explanation of the matter of Zhu Xian.
"Hmm!" Ma Xin nodded, saying that he had no problem, and for him, remaking a computer of this model was just a matter of reassembling.
"I'll give you a suggestion, you can work a little bit more on speed and energy consumption. It can be more optimized, don't carve another one according to the mold. How could Lin Nan not know what the other party thought when he saw Ma Xin's appearance. So, wake up.
Some people, some things just need to be pointed out to know.
At this time, Ma Xin came back to his senses. knew that his mind was seen through by Lin Nan, and gave himself a small warning, don't be ambitious, only a solid foundation can have a haode future.
"I see, don't worry about it." Ma Xin came back to his senses and said seriously, at this time he also realized his mistake.
"Well, by the way, did you name this supercomputer?" Lin Nan seemed to have thought of something and asked. As the company's first supercomputer, naming it is very necessary and meaningful.
"Not yet. Waiting for your name? Ma Xin shook his head, looked at Lin Nan, and said naturally, since he worked for Lin Nan, the naming right of this supercomputer was naturally in Lin Nan's hands.
"Ma Lao, what you said is a slap in the face, you name it yourself, no matter what the name is, it is your own decision, after all, this is the result of your efforts. Half of your children. Name yourselves! Lin Nan's face turned pale, and he said with a cold face.
At this time, although Lin Nan wanted to name it, he couldn't kill himself with this name, Weishenme said. Because once they are named, they will make these R&D personnel have a certain mustard, and their product names cannot be influenced by themselves, and there will inevitably be a trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts.
But because they are part-time workers. So they won't do anything on the surface, but they will definitely have an idea in their hearts, once that idea is formed. There is no benefit to the future development, and even the future troubles are endless, so Lin Nan can't be named.
"Well, okay then, let's discuss it, and I'll give you the name when the time comes, and whether this supercomputer will be used here or if you prepare a room and we'll move it out." Ma Lao said his purpose, this computer was long before, Lin Nan told himself that he had other uses. This time, it was implicitly expressed that Lin Nan wanted to use this supercomputer on the online game.
"Is it hard to move out?" Lin Nan pondered and asked.
With so many things, it is definitely not a simple thing to transfer them out at once, it will definitely be complicated, but no one knows how complicated it is. Only the people who built this supercomputer know.
"There is a point, but the overall difficulty is not very large, mainly the workload and the problem of wiring, you must know that although this supercomputer is small, but it is also a large household, it needs 240,000 watts of electricity every day, which is not a small amount!" Ma Xin said what he was worried about.
Also, 10,000 watts per hour is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.
A small transformer chamber would also need to be built at the beginning of 4 yards to prepare for this small supercomputer.
"I know this, are there any other jishu problems?" Lin Nan asked again, what Ma Xin said before is not a problem, this supercomputer must be equipped with a special transformer, otherwise it will not be able to bear it at all, this is easy to deal with, the relationship between Qianlong and the Municipal Power Supply Bureau is not bad, so it is not a big difficulty for them to pull out a line for this supercomputer.
Lin Nan was worried about the problems of the supercomputer itself, not the surrounding problems.
"That's no, as long as the location is selected, it only takes two days for us to complete the disassembly and assembly." Ma Xin said confidently.
"Okay, I'll go back and order someone to take a picture of the place, and then you can work hard to disassemble this supercomputer and then transfer it to a place for assembly." Lin Nan said simply. At the same time, Zhang Haihua also nodded, this matter must be for him to do, so he immediately thought of who would do it.
"Okay, you tell me in advance when the time comes, and we'll tear it down when the time comes, and we'll use it first." Ma Xin smiled and said lightly
After Lin Nan personally operated the small supercomputer, he went back satisfied.
In my previous life, although I had the opportunity to use a supercomputer, I printed out the things I needed to use the computer and submitted it on paper, and others supported the operation, and then the result was given to me.
I didn't even have a chance to see a supercomputer.
"Zixue, do you need a small supercomputer there?" When Lin Nan returned to his lounge, he thought of Ning Zixue, who had already handed over his body, and called to ask.
"Dear, do you know what time it is, disturbing other people's sleep is very unpleasant, although you are my boyfriend, but you can't do this!" Where did Ning Zixue come from the phone and complain lazily.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll ask you a question, do you want it?" Lin Nan touched his nose embarrassedly, and then said. I was excited just now, I just wanted to call, and I didn't think about the time at all, but now I noticed that the time was already more than two o'clock in the morning.
"I don't know about this, I'll ask our jishu department, tomorrow, uh, no, I'm calling you tonight, okay, I'm so sleepy now, don't talk, baibai!" Ning Zixue yawned, and hung up the phone directly after quickly speaking.
Listening to the beeping voice on the phone, Lin Nan was speechless for a while, and said in her heart, this little girl, is getting bolder and bolder, and she dares to hang up my phone?!
Putting down the phone, Lin Nan didn't take a bath, took off his coat directly, and lay on the bed and fell asleep
After Zhang Haihua returned to the office, he did not sleep like Lin Nan, but thought about who to ask to find the address. Compared with ordinary people, Zhang Haihua thinks a little more, first of all, whether there is the possibility of adding other supercomputers in the future. According to the current development, it is not impossible, so the selected place should be expandable to facilitate future space expansion.
According to the competition, Zuihou Zhang Haihua selected three people, one woman and two men, one of whom is a foreigner, is an authentic Mi Chinese, and is mainly responsible for spatial planning.
Now the Qianlong Building has already started construction, and the place chosen is twenty-one miles southeast of Gupei, covering an area of 45 hectares, involving five counties and districts, these 45 hectares are not only the Qianlong Building but also the TV station, and the headquarters of mobile communications are in it.
There is no need for too high floors, but depending on the priority, the fastest Star Tower will be ready for occupancy in the winter of 2003. (To be continued......)
