Chapter 308: The server is under pressure
Sir, the server group occupies 90% of the resources, the No. 0 server has been enabled, according to the calculation, it is expected to crash in 13 minutes......"
Lin Chenyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
Edgeworth Tianya can be said to be the bridge between him and the Ming Group, in business, if the server collapses on the first day of Edgeworth's service, the credibility of Star Technology will not be ordinarily big.
"Sir, the smart NPC function takes up a lot of computing resources, and if you don't add a new server group, the server group will collapse as the player's usage continues to rise......
According to the latest statistics, according to the analysis of the player upgrade curve, the server group will crash after 10 minutes......"
Lin Chenyi was taken aback, obviously this situation was a bit unexpected.
Of course, this is understandable, the core technology of intelligent NPC is Xuanyuan's voice processing module.
As for the NPC's emotional module, it is actually embedded in that super patch, otherwise the server group would have collapsed long ago just by simulating the emotional dialogue of real people.
Originally, the patch already included a huge database of game Q&A, which basically covered all the game information about Edgeworth, and as long as players used this feature properly, there would be no server group crashes.
However, the player's curiosity cannot be underestimated, and over time, players will begin to ask all sorts of quirky questions once they have learned enough about the game.
There is no problem with the corresponding content of these databases, and NPCs cannot answer intelligently, so they can only "tell" Xuanyuan through data transmission, which is processed by Xuanyuan's intelligent voice module and searched on the Internet.
Xuanyuan's parent body is on server 0, and the broadband transmission speed of the lakeside villa has reached 700MB per second, and server 0 is humming violently, obviously Xuanyuan is processing data at high speed, and server 0 is also at full capacity.
Lin Chenyi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately contacted Ye Ming to authorize more server groups to Star Technology.
After Ye Ming got the situation, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately opened twice as many server groups to Edgeworth Tianya, and at the same time started cloud computing technology, and distributed part of the data processing to users through distributed computing.
After finishing, Ye Ming frowned and said: "Crazy, I admit that Xuanyuan's intelligent voice processing is very good, I embodied it for 15 minutes, it is simply an encyclopedia, as said on the forum, all the NPCs of Edgeworth Tianya are alive."
But the price is too high, this is only a small game of more than 100M, and the number of NPCs is not much, but if it is used in large-scale games such as "Fengshen", even with the strength of the Ming Group, unless a supercomputer is used, it will not be able to deal with such terrifying data at all! β
The supercomputer owned by the Ming Group has a terrifying peak of 2,300 tlops, which is not at all comparable to the server group.
After all, the focus of supercomputing and server groups is different, server groups often need to access hard disks and memory, relatively speaking, CPUs do not need to be so strong, and comprehensive floating-point computing power and CPU computing power are two concepts.
But supercomputing is different, supercomputing is equivalent to a server with super terrifying performance, and the CPU is the first, focusing on processing computing tasks.
Xuanyuan has very limited CPU computing resources to process voice conversations, so warnings will be issued quickly.
Although the supercomputer of the Ming Group is used for business, it is more used for game research and development and other Internet development, and is not directly involved in game operation, which is too costly, even the Ming Group, which is known as a conscientious game developer, cannot be such a loser.
Of course, this problem has been temporarily solved by Ye Ming, that is, using cloud computing technology to transfer most of the data processing to users.
But in this way, the upgraded "Fengshen" will have a much higher configuration of the computer, and it will potentially lose a large number of players, even if "Fengshen" is very good, and at the same time, the pressure on the cloud computing technology center of the Ming Group is also huge, which is what Ye Ming said The price is too great.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Chenyi replied: "This problem is currently unsolved, but we will solve it later."
Of course, the best way to cooperate is that we provide intelligent voice services and undertake relevant data processing, and you can operate as usual. β
Edgeworth is only temporarily operating through the Ming Group's server group, and after a week, this problem will be alleviated when the server group arrives and is fully installed.
Considering the current situation and the subsequent increase in the number of players, it is necessary to upgrade the CPU of the server group.
At the same time, it focuses on the development of cloud computing, before which Mingshi Group can provide cloud computing technical support, and finally when the Xuanyuan Xeon chip is developed, this problem is not a problem at all!
Nowadays, cloud computing is not a tall technology, although it is not something that ordinary companies can develop, but the principle of cloud computing is distributed computing, with the ability of Xuanyuan to show, maybe it can solve this technical barrier.
Ye Ming frowned, using the servers of Star Technology to provide intelligent voice services means that Ming's Group wants to open data transmission channels to Star Technology, what if Lin Chenyi or the forces behind him have any evil intentions to steal Ming's Group's trade secrets?
When he comprehended Xuanyuan's strength, Ye Ming had to worry about this problem, if the data transmission channel was opened, it meant that Xuanyuan was fully capable of obtaining or even tampering with the relevant data of "Fengshen"!
At this point, no matter how naΓ―ve Ye Ming is, he will not bet on trade secrets.
This has nothing to do with trust, there are no fathers and sons in the mall, let alone brothers and friends, and it is not unheard of in the business world to stab a brother.
Lin Chenyi didn't know what Ye Ming was thinking, but Cao Feng, as a core technician, understood Ye Ming's thoughts, so he told the former his guess.
Lin Chenyi was a little helpless after hearing this, he really wanted to tell Ye Ming, Lao Tzu was still afraid that you would steal Xuanyuan's relevant information.
The data transmission channels are originally mutual, and if Star Technology and Xuanyuan do not give their way, Ming's Group can also do things to steal trade secrets.
This solution is not impossible to solve, that is, the two parties jointly set up a company and let Xuanyuan re-edit a speech processing program.
Then the weak artificial intelligence Aegis is used in the program, in order to prevent the Ming Group from stealing the source code of the voice processing module, Xuanyuan can use the attached core encryption technology.
However, Lin Chenyi really didn't lose interest in the core source code and related data of "Fengshen"?
In the end, the two sides do not have a perfect solution for the time being, it is impossible for Lin Chenyi to provide services for "Fengshen" free of charge, even if he gives a certain technical fee, Lin Chenyi will not agree, he is not a person who is short of money!
