As an Internet practitioner, you should have heard of supercomputers, but not many people have actually come into contact with them. In the past decade, the performance www.biquge.info of personal computers and small servers has developed rapidly, and the computing power of an ordinary computer has reached the level of supercomputers only in previous years, which is enough for personal use and ordinary commercial use.

What can really give full play to the power of supercomputers is mainly reflected in the calculation and simulation of ultra-high-precision and ultra-large data models. For example, in the science fiction movie "The Day After Tomorrow", the protagonist of the science fiction movie "The Day After Tomorrow" uses an algorithm to simulate the climate change model of the ice age, so as to calculate the time and scope of the rapid cooling of the global climate. There is no mention of details in the movie, but it is a supercomputer that is used to calculate the model, and ordinary computers run such complex calculations only to crash.

There are many other uses including: simulating the fluid dynamics, fuel consumption, and structural design of the aircraft; Biomedicine, especially when it comes to genetic projects, has huge computational demands and is increasingly relying on supercomputers to find revolutionary ways to treat diseases; There is also the field of materials science, which is the basic discipline of industry, and the simulation of matter and energy can only be done by supercomputers.

Although Chen Wenhao has the help of Xiaoka, and has also been recognized by Xiaoxi, the intelligent brain of the scientific research ship, he can use Xiaoxi's computing resources, but they have limitations: Xiaoka has lost the surveyor cluster, and the computing power has dropped to a trough, and Xiaoxi was given the core instructions to ensure the normal operation of the scientific research ship at the beginning of its creation, and it cannot be separated from the carrier of the scientific research ship, and the computing resources must also be tilted towards the scientific research ship.

The most important thing is that neither Koka nor Konishi, at least for now, can be exposed. Unless Chen Wenhao plans to do the next research and development by himself, with his current plan to enter the aerospace industry, he is bound to set up a decent research and development team. Even if it is an upfront hardware investment, the establishment of a supercomputing center can be a major advantage for the company to recruit talent in the future.

At present, the "Light of Taihu Lake", which ranks first, has a public cost of 1.8 billion yuan, and Chen Wenhao has also budgeted for a similar cost and is ready to build his own supercomputing center. Although he thought that alien black technology would help him save some money, Chen Wenhao was still a little stunned when he saw the purchase list given by Xiaoka.

"Only 10,000 server processors?" Through the transmission of brainwave information, Chen Wenhao sent his questions to Xiaoka. You must know that the "Light of Taihu Lake" is equipped with more than 40,000 processors, although it uses domestic processors, but the performance is not weaker than the mainstream server processors sold by Intel.

[The chip is bought, and it has to be optimized, the number of 10,000 is the optimal number obtained after comprehensively considering demand and energy consumption, not the more the better, and the space for expansion and upgrading has been reserved. It's rare for Xiaoka to explain so patiently, and you can see its thirst for computing resources.

"What level can be achieved after optimization?"

[To give you the simplest comparison, the peak computing power can exceed 100 billion times, which is basically the upper limit of silicon-based electronic processors. 】

"And what about the future?"

[With the current development direction of your human science and technology tree, the closest thing to practical is quantum computers, and then photonic computers or bioenergy computers are possible. 】

"Then why don't you just give me a high-level quantum computer?"

[In the case of quantum computers, there is still a piece missing from the relevant theories mastered by human beings, and according to the basic laws of artificial intelligence, in order to avoid the interference of civilization, it is impossible to provide finished products. 】

"Okay then, that's it." Chen Wenhao thinks it is enough, the peak computing power of "Taihu Light" is 1.2 billion times, which is nearly 100 times higher.

In the quick communication with the small card, Chen Wenhao has kept in mind the model and quantity of the parts that need to be purchased, and when he is empty, he will send the demand email to the company's procurement department. The parent company's procurement department is now more like his executive team, which will turn his procurement list into reality, saving him a lot of time and energy.

After experiencing the development of the brain domain on the research ship, Chen Wenhao can not only withstand long-term brainwave communication with artificial intelligence, but also improve his dual-purpose ability a lot.

During the exchange between him and Xiaoka, the group had already walked to the living area of the base, which was only one kilometer away from the headquarters building. This area was built by Jianghai Construction Engineering Group, and the narrator was replaced by a person in charge of Jianghai Construction Engineering.

At present, only two staff dormitory buildings are planned and constructed, both of which are 12 storeys high, with an arc-shaped appearance facing the headquarters building. Each staff building has a total floor area of 60,000 square meters and can provide more than 1,200 rooms.

According to the person in charge, the two dormitory buildings have been capped and the final façade installation construction is underway. The person in charge patted his chest and assured that the infrastructure project would definitely be completed by the end of this month.

"Although it is called a dormitory building, we are built according to the standards of serviced apartments, and each building will have a supporting laundry and drying room, a 24-hour restaurant, a fitness center, a swimming pool, a games room, karaoke, and a movie screening room." Fang Yuxin is one of the people who know the most about the planning and construction of the base, who is in charge of administrative logistics.

Xu Huifang, the financial director, estimated the size of the two buildings, and couldn't hide her surprise, "We now have only three or four hundred people in the whole company, and even half of the building can't be filled. ”

Su Jingdong, the director of human resources, came to the base for the first time, and answered with a smile, "I finally made up my mind when I came today, and when I was recruiting, I praised the accommodation environment as good." "He just returned to Jianghai from the national recruitment roadshow yesterday, and today he took the initiative to ask to join.

Chen Wenhao heard a little subconscious, "What? Recruitment is not going well? ”

"It's not that it's not going well, it's just that it's going to be a little difficult. Graduates majoring in computer science and business are rushing to come to us, but students majoring in aviation and aerospace have more concerns, especially those master's and doctoral students with project experience, who are still more inclined to enter the system. ”

Chen Wenhao had already expected this, to put it bluntly, whether it is aviation or aerospace, it is a technology-intensive and capital-intensive industry, and it is a bottomless pit that burns money. If you suddenly say that you want to do this, others must be worried, is it an empty shelf for a certain second generation to cheat funds? Is it a whim of an ignorant boss? Can it really be done? These questions are understandable, and those who don't know naturally don't dare to choose the most important career start at will.

Chen Wenhao said with a smile, "This is my negligence, and then I will sort out some relevant technical summaries, Lao Su can show them to the other party when he contacts some high-end talents, but remember to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance." ”

He pointed to the east farther down, "Let's go, let's take everyone to see the aerospace base in the future, I guess there are many people in the company who are confused about this." ”

The crowd laughed a little awkwardly. Indeed, many people are puzzled by the sudden and large cross-industry of companies.
