Chapter 491: Supercomputers and AI (Part II)
"Looks like 001 has gained a lot!"
When he saw the folders sorted out by revenge on the screen, Sun Cheng's mood improved slightly.
After dealing with mechanical beings for a long time, he is too lazy to use the keyboard and mouse to do it himself, so he immediately ordered: "Revenge, open the North Wind data folder"
"Yes!"
With the cold mechanical sound of revenge, the folder marked with Beifeng's information on the screen was immediately opened, and suddenly dozens of different folders inside appeared in front of Sun Cheng again.
Although he didn't study computer science in college, he had been dealing with mechanical life for so long, and he inevitably became interested in this kind of alien creature that was somewhat similar to the artificial intelligence life in human cognition.
In order to have a deeper understanding of them, and Sun Cheng really felt the importance of learning computer knowledge, he used the Decepticons' rapid learning ability of human knowledge in the other world, and spent some energy and time to study the relevant knowledge in the computer field.
Although he didn't fully understand and digest most of the knowledge he had learned, using the special connection between the ontology and the confused two bodies in the other world, although Sun Cheng couldn't explain the principle for the time being, he also accumulated a huge amount of knowledge in his head in a very short period of time, which he could read, refer to and even learn at any time.
Because of this, today's Sun Cheng can be regarded as a theoretical expert in the field of computers.
At least he can understand something from basic programming to programming languages, from system architecture to artificial intelligence.
Although the documents that 001 stole from the Nandu Supercomputer Center and put them in the Beifeng data folder were complicated, he controlled them one by one, and after spending more than forty minutes after a cursory reading, the ice on Sun Cheng's face melted a little again.
"The architecture, operating system, and high-speed interconnection communication of the Beifeng-class supercomputer are interesting"
More than nine out of ten people have never touched a supercomputer, so it is difficult to understand its existence.
The most superficial and the most joke-prone understanding is that supercomputers are flashy and expensive, basically in hundreds of millions, spending huge sums of money to build a supercomputer, and most of the time its extraordinary computing power is wasted because it is not used.
Not to mention that with the development of technology, more and more industries need to use massive computing power to perform product deduction to ensure that their products are as perfect as possible in the design process.
Even some more traditional industries, such as car manufacturing, steel smelting, thermal power and hydropower plants, etc., in fact, every year, most of the original need for dozens or even hundreds of engineers, after long-term operation by personal computers, the design of new vehicle specific data, new steel alloy element ratio scheme, thermal hydropower plant environmental pollution evaluation, geological change assessment, etc., the use of supercomputers to simulate.
It is no exaggeration to say that the supercomputer is definitely one of the greatest inventions of the information age, and its birth has completely liberated computing power, turning calculations that would otherwise require thousands of people to complete into a single tapping on a keyboard.
There may be some people who think that supercomputers are really not a big deal, and that what they can do with personal computers can also be done, but by concentrating tens of thousands of processors that were originally assembled into tens of thousands of personal computers.
But the reality is that the vast majority of the problems, after being dispersed over tens of thousands of personal computers, may and may eventually solve the problem, but the consumption of manpower, material resources and time is absolutely beyond imagination.
The old sentence of Zhuge Liang on the top of the three stinkers has been confirmed to be wrong with the development of science and technology.
In many cases, it is not that the more people you have, the more power you have, and the same is true for supercomputers, and the more processors you are willing to purchase, the more computing power you have.
In the field of supercomputers, it is difficult to equal or greater than two for one plus one, and it is very simple to assemble tens of thousands of processors purchased together, but if you want them to work together at runtime, and even handle dozens or even hundreds of different tasks and topics at the same time, it is necessary to develop an efficient system architecture for it after a series of rigorous design.
It can be said that the system architecture is the most important and core secret of a supercomputer, and it means that you can build a supercomputer at any time.
Sun Cheng also didn't expect that the little spider in 001 would thoroughly eat the Beifeng-level supercomputer of the Nandu Supercomputing Center, and even picked up its core secrets.
This is indeed a big bonus!
You must know that although many of the Decepticons' computing power is far above that of supercomputers, not all mechanical life is good at scientific research and invention.
And Sun Cheng has always had scruples about bringing the Decepticons to reality.
The few miniature Decepticons he brought with him were all erased from their original consciousness before returning, and all memories were erased and new memories were implanted again.
Rao is like this, and he is still afraid to use it, because Sun Cheng knows very well that he is playing with fire, and he is trying to control a few unruly mechanical beings who may one day rebel with this weak human body in the real world.
In the real world, he didn't mess up the new body to suppress everything, and he didn't have loyal subordinates like Atlas and the Precursor to solve problems for him when things went wrong.
Therefore, after returning to the real world a few times before and preparing to rebuild Base 1 in the real world, cultivating a more docile and loyal artificial intelligence life became one of Sun Cheng's plans at that time.
Even if he was ready to take a risk and try to cultivate Decepticons in the real world until he returned this time, he still had no intention of giving up the idea of cultivating artificial intelligence life.
In addition to the need for a lot of resources, this requires a lot of computing power.
Unwilling to bring a supercomputer designed by Decepticon engineers back to the real world, Sun Cheng ordered Atlas to build a batch of storage devices and processors modeled after the Decepticon cores.
They are now stored in spherical space, and with these things, combined with the operating system and system architecture of the Beifeng-class supercomputer that 001 obtained, he feels that he should soon be able to try it and build a supercomputer with superb performance in reality.
