Chapter 425: Supercomputer Kunlun Launched!

Luo Jia has not yet started his own speech, just wrote down the technical schematic diagram and the characteristics of the neural computing network, which has already caused a sensation in the audience, after all, most of the experts present are industry experts, and they have a high eyesight and can see the extraordinary features of this design.

"Mr. Luo, you're not kidding, are you? Breaking the supercomputing pole and forming a region-wide computing network is also too whimsical, can you break the limitations in computing management and data transmission? ”

A person who looks like a professor stood up, on the territory of the capital, if you want to say that the strongest existence in the computer information major, I am afraid it belongs to Turing of Peking University and Yao Qizhi of Tsinghua University, and the person who asked the question is the person in charge of the Turing class of Peking University.

The spirit of the so-called straight man of steel is to talk less nonsense, and whoever wants to believe it will directly smash his face with data.

Luo Jia waved his hand, and even if there were colleagues in the company, the results obtained from yesterday's test were presented to everyone present in the form of data.

"What you're seeing now is our first-round test results." Luo Jia said lightly: "I need to remind you that the final result is not the limit, but the processor and server resources we have at hand, plus the resources of our partners, there are only so many in total." ”

"Five... 500 billion times! ”

"Oh my God, that's forty times the size of Tianhe-3!"

"You mean that if you have more processors and servers, you can push the limits higher!?"

The scene exploded, people were rapidly circulating information, their eyes were full of shock, they seemed to suddenly forget the difference between the conference room and the vegetable market, and shouted loudly regardless of the image.

Some people excitedly picked up the phone, wanting to call teachers or colleagues to report this astonishing discovery to them, and found that there was no signal, only to remember that this was an important technical evaluation meeting of the national team, and the signal had long been blocked.

After a brief period of confusion, the experts and scholars finally quieted down and looked at Luo Jia with inquiring eyes, hoping that he would give an explanation.

Of course, Luo Jia explained that the difficulty of ultra-large neural computing networks lies in resource management, after all, there are millions of processors, how to allocate resources and bandwidth, specify the tasks to be calculated by each processor, and how to reorganize the data after performing the calculations has always been the most serious challenge in the scientific community.

To put it simply, the problem with supercomputers is not computing power, but management and execution, and the technology from the Golden Dome is enough to solve all this, controlling the entire neural computing network in a more intelligent way.

Deliberately clearing his throat, Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "The progress that my country has made over the years largely comes from our tradition of concentrating on big things, and the same is true for supercomputers, is there a difference between Peking University's supercomputer and Tsinghua's supercomputer?" Why separate? Why can't we form a more powerful supercomputer and let the students of Peking University and Tsinghua University use it together? ”

"After all, the meaning of supercomputing is not to play games, but to solve those really difficult explorations and calculations with powerful computing power, such as the famous plan to find aliens."

"As the first generation of distributed computing system, the Alien Search Program can be said to be very successful, as long as you download a screensaver for the project, you can use your personal computer free time to help the program calculate, its peak computing power, more than the world's most powerful supercomputing."

"However, the cruel truth tells us that although tens of millions of users around the world have contributed their personal computers to form an unprecedentedly powerful supercomputer, the alien search program has only completed about one millionth of a calculation so far."

"The cruel truth is that with the enhancement of human ability to obtain cosmic data, the general database of the search for aliens is still expanding rapidly, and if nothing else, this project will continue for a long, long time, maybe 10,000 years, maybe countless 10,000 years."

"It is not difficult to see that as long as human beings want to continue to move forward, the demand for computing power will never end, and the higher the computing power, the better, and the neural computing network is the ultimate answer to the computing power demand."

"Now we use graphene wafers, and zero-point-one-nanometer laser etching technology, and in the future, we have mastered more advanced quantum technology, this kind of neural computing network, can still be used, it is a real cross-era technology, can be used from now, has been used for a long, long time in the future."

"I would like to suggest here that Huaxia should give up the competition in the quantity of supercomputing, change to quality competition, concentrate on doing great things, and build a machine with a capacity large enough for scientists across the country to use together, in the true sense, the mother of supercomputing!"

At this point, everything is very clear, neural computing networks, which belong to real-time distributed computing, are the ultimate evolution of traditional distributed computing.

In the past, the data needs to be packaged, distributed to different computing terminals, and after the operation is completed, the data packet is returned to the server, re-decoded, the operation result is verified, and finally reassembled back to the data subject.

Anyway, the process is very verbose, and about half of the computing power is wasted in the process of non-stop subcontracting, packing, unpacking and reassembly.

The neural computing network from the golden dome does not need to be subcontracted at all, all the computers that enter this network are all a whole, high-speed network and real-time analysis chips, so that the Beijing Supercomputing Center and the Shanghai Supercomputing Center have become a close connection like the nervous system, they do not distinguish each other, and distribute computing power on demand.

For example, Huawei's team works hard, supercomputing is often in full capacity, computing power is not enough, at this time, the neural network will automatically allocate computing power to Huawei, and these temporarily allocated computing power may come from the Guangzhou center not far away, or it may come from the Lhasa supercomputing center thousands of kilometers away, it doesn't matter, anyway, after the neural network is formed, all the civilian supercomputers in China will become a whole, becoming a transcendent era, making all scientists crazy.

This kind of big move Xingchen Technology can't do, and the national team must go out, because there are too many interests to coordinate, major supercomputing centers, provincial data centers, university data centers, and finally private institutions like Alibaba Cloud.

It is impossible to produce results on the spot in a meeting like this, and the think tank of the national team and the top have to demonstrate and plan, the specific process and details, in fact, even Luo Jia does not know, after all, his current identity is just a businessman.

In the next two days, Luo Jia and An Ran were busy and anxious, and were summoned by the bigwigs from all sides in turn, there was no way, the system decided the ownership of Huaxia's rights, don't look at Luo Jia's tossing and turning in Shanghai, once he arrived in the capital, he had to coil on the dragon, and he had to lie down on the tiger.

As for Luo Jia being busy, he didn't even have time to see Ye Wuchen, so it wouldn't be enough, after all, time was like a girl's breasts, even if she was born at the airport, there would always be a hard squeeze.

One of Luo Jia's creeds in life is to never lick a dog in whatever he does, so although he misses it in his heart, he will not take the initiative in action, Ye Wuchen has not contacted himself, so who does he love, even if the seven fairies go down to earth, Luo Jia will not serve.

The affairs of the national team are always very troublesome, and after many rounds of explanations with the senior management and think tanks, Luo Jia and An Ran were tired and ready to return to Shanghai, learning the lessons they learned when they came, and this time they chose to do high-speed rail.

Who would have thought that the reply would come so quickly, as soon as the train left the capital, Professor Ouyang and Secretary Lu called back and forth, telling him the good news that the national team was going to launch a large-scale test, but the name was not going to be called the mother of supercomputing, and the senior management felt a little LOW, after all, it was not an American drama, so it was too much for so many mothers to do.

Kunlun, it is said that the name was decided by the high-level personally.

The neural computing network is not a simple project, involving the relayout and networking of supercomputing centers in various places, so it was not in time to present the National Day, when the supercomputer Kunlun was officially launched for the first time, the time was already in mid-October.

October 11 is destined to go down in history forever, because it is the day when the supercomputer Kunlun first appeared in the eyes of the world.

The University of Tennessee in North America, the headquarters of the supercomputer TOP500, received the news of the launch of this giant for the first time, however, they were shocked by the long string of zeros in the Kunlun peak computing power icon.

"Rub, fake!"

"Damn! Counterfeiting has always been the tradition of those Chinese people, impossible! The peak computing power must have been reported incorrectly, at least three zeros were overreported! ”

"Liu Tao! You are from Huaxia, call back to your hometown immediately and ask them why they came up with such fake data? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at by their peers? ”

"Shame! It's a shame on the tech world! It's so exaggerated that a madman wouldn't dare to create such unreliable data. ”

The computer center of the University of Tennessee was boiling, the scientists were very angry, and the consequences were serious, and the Huaxia graduate student named Liu Tao also looked confused in the face of many foreigners' doubts.

Peak computing power, a trillion times per second?

Without waiting for the classmates to speak, Liu Tao himself blushed, because even he couldn't believe that this was true, the data must have been written wrong, what kind of supercomputer is this, obviously a monster!
