Chapter 239: Shenzhou Operating System
Regarding AI programming, the Center for Intelligence has been researching for a long time, and the motivation for research has always been very sufficient.
No way, there are so many projects in the smart center!
It's outrageous!
After the expansion of the smart center, the 3,000 people are just enough!
At present, the major projects under research include Bai Ze image, Bai Ze translation, intelligent search, intelligent security, intelligent medical treatment, and photoacoustic algorithms......
Among them, these big projects have many subdivided small items, such as Bai Ze Image, which refers to the AI intelligent image processing software that is not familiar to the outside world, but a project department.
There are also many software under development in this department, such as Bai Ze Animation, which is responsible for intelligent 3D modeling, and the effect is similar to the various automatic functions of Bai Ze Image, which can cooperate with modelers to quickly model.
It can also fill in animations, i.e., automatically fill in the middle transition frames based on the front and back keyframes of the picture.
For example, when a character walks with a hand, the hand swings from the front to the back, if the traditional method is to manually complete the swinging process.
However, if you leave it to AI to process, you only need a picture of the hand in front and the hand in the back, and the middle process can be automatically completed.
And with Bai Ze's ability in this field, he can also play a more important role in scenes that are hundreds of times more complex than waving hands, such as fierce battle scenes......
In the future, when making animations, only a few keyframes can be needed for a complex scene, and the rest can be automatically calculated by the AI according to the requirements and previous styles.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg of many big projects, which have a lot of software development tasks underneath them.
For example, the children's intelligent protection system cooperated with the domestic genius watch, through positioning, surrounding voice and even images, social emergency alarms, etc., to determine the safety of the wearer at all times......
In addition to the development of these software, we occasionally have to spare people to support brother projects at brain-computer centers or prosthetic centers.
In addition, other projects and departments such as AI speech synthesis, natural language understanding, and AI algorithms provide technical support behind the scenes.
None of these 3,000 people are really idle, and everyone's work is full.
And the reason why these departments are so frighteningly efficient is that they were hired from the very high staffing in the first place, and the team members are nearly double or more than other benchmarking projects.
With sufficient manpower and Chen Shen's guidance, those important projects went so smoothly.
It's just that in the face of Chen Shen's new needs, Li Jun feels that no matter how many people there are, they will not be enough......
That's why he's always seen AI programming as a savior, and so have the rest of the people in the center.
The members of the AI programming project have to face the expectations of many colleagues at work every day, and they can get the best drinks and the best snacks at afternoon tea every day......
It's because everyone is expecting them to be the saviors and stand up!
Today, Li Jun feels that it is time for the project to stand up.
It's all on the operating system, and if you don't match your brothers with some guys, I'm afraid you really can't carry it.
After Chen Shen made his request, Li Jun received the work instructions from him on the spot.
The proposed name of the system is very atmospheric, called "Shenzhou System", and this name has the characteristics of the edges and corners.
It's just that he just took a few glances, and he felt that something was not quite right.
Although he doesn't know much about the operating system, he also knows some basic theories, but these requirements mentioned by Chen Shen don't look like they are needed for a computer or mobile phone operating system.
Because it contains a lot of strange modules, from the requirements of these modules, he can only roughly conclude that these modules are to facilitate the connection of some special equipment to achieve a faster response speed.
Typical operating systems don't have these requirements......
"Isn't this operating system the operating system of a computer or a mobile phone?" Li Jun stared at his computer screen.
Chen Shen on the other end of the computer replied: "No, this is expected to be used for VR equipment, if we have enough energy in the future, maybe we can transform the operating system of other electronic devices on the basis of this system." ”
"For VR?" Li Jun was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what Chen Shen had in mind about this, the craze for VR equipment has now calmed down.
The price is high, the experience is poor, the effect is average, the equipment is bulky, and the ecology is simple......
These are all disadvantages of current VR.
"Yes, this project is our key project in the second half of the year, and there are several other equally important supporting projects that will be carried out with it, and you should keep an eye on the progress here."
"If you encounter any problems that you can't break through, come to me immediately."
"Don't worry, I understand this."
Li Jun put down the phone with a solemn face, recalled Chen Shen's advice just now, and did not dare to slack off, and immediately set up a project team......
Chen Shen, on the other hand, is studying the data of carbon-based chips.
The name of the chip on the entry-level Oasis host is also very perfunctory, and it is called Oasis No. 1.
Although Oasis No. 1 is already an old-fashioned chip in the movie world and can only be installed in the lowest-end Oasis host, its performance is terrifyingly strong in Chen Shen's opinion.
Although this thing is made of 14nm process, the main frequency has reached an astonishing 8GHz, plus 16 cores and 32 threads, although its length and width have exceeded five centimeters, it looks like a big one, but its performance has also been terrifyingly improved compared to the current mainstream chips!
You must know that the performance of carbon-based chips is already several times to ten times stronger than that of silicon-based chips.
The chip itself is nearly twice as large as today's average chip, meaning it can accommodate more transistors while carbon-based transistors are faster than silicon transistors.
In this way, even this Oasis No. 1, which is already old in the movie, is more than ten times stronger than the best home chips now.
If this thing can be reproduced now, it will really be impossible to find an opponent in the world.
Even if the toothpaste factory squeezes out the toothpaste in the tube at once, there is no way to fight this performance monster!
It's just that how to reproduce this chip is a huge problem.
If you want to reproduce, one of the most critical nodes is the preparation method or production process.
The preparation method of silicon-based chips is mainly physical preparation, from the silicon wafer, from top to bottom with photolithography and etching and other processes to carve out the required device structure.
The preparation method of carbon-based chips is different from that of silicon-based chips, which is mainly based on chemical preparation, that is, through single-stranded DNA and other tools, tiny carbon nanotubes are sent to the corresponding positions and arranged neatly......
