Throughout July, Huang Haojie was busy in various research institutes.

Meanwhile.

The preliminary design of Xingtu's supercomputing chip has finally been completed.

Du Wei and Zhang Rujing are in the chip production workshop.

"Du Wei, what is the computing speed of the supercomputing chip you designed?" Zhang Rujing asked with some curiosity.

"A monolithic block of 6 trillion times per second?"

"So tall?"

"Dr. Zhang, have you forgotten the addition effect of superconductors at room temperature?"

"Oh, I'm confused." Zhang Rujing patted his head.

"With the addition of superconductors at room temperature, the computing speed of superconducting chips is increased by about 150 times with the same process and number of transistors."

This computing speed seems to be not much different from the supercomputing chips currently on the market, but if you look closely, you can know the terrible gap.

With the domestic "Shenwei?? The heart of "Taihu Lake Light" Shenwei 26010 is an example.

Shenwei 26010 is a unique processor, which adopts the heterogeneous many-core architecture with on-chip convergence, as well as an instruction set with independent intellectual property rights and a complete supporting software ecosystem.

This unique architecture integrates 260 compute cores, billions of transistors, and 3 trillion calculations per second between 25 square centimeters and inches.

The Shenwei 26010 processor integrates 260 computing cores, and the peak floating-point computing speed is about the same level as Intel's Xeon Knights Landing, a computing chip.

Note, though, that this processor is 260 cores, while Intel's Xeon Knights Landing is 72 cores.

In addition, NVIDIA's Pascal chips have a floating-point computing power of 5 trillion times per second.

Whether it is Shenwei 26010, Intel's Xeon, or NVIDIA's Pascal chip, they all have one feature, that is, the heap core.

Of course, Shenwei has recently started to design a new generation of supercomputing chips.

The supercomputing chip designed by Xingtu is single-core, that is, the single-core computing speed reaches 6 trillion times per second.

If Xingtu does the same, and engages in a 72-core, or 260-core, then the computing speed can break through the sky.

The point is, since single-core can do it, why should I do multi-core?

"The first batch of chips went off the production line, and the inspection results came out immediately." Zhang Rujing and Du Wei said.

The two came to the packaging and testing workshop.

"How?" Du Wei asked.

The workshop leader hurriedly walked over with a report.

"The performance is amazing, with a peak computing speed of 6.3 trillion operations per second, an average of 6.1 trillion operations per second, and a year-on-year decrease of 167 times in energy consumption per second, and no major defects have been found."

Du Wei looked at the report.

"It seems that Fengdu Group's supercomputer can start to be built, so please trouble Dr. Zhang and arrange for the production of 17,000 supercomputing chips first."

"Leave it to us! Tomorrow, 17,000 supercomputing chips will be handed over to Galaxy Computer Company. Zhang Rujing replied with a smile.

Galaxy Computer Company is a company responsible for supercomputing construction and manufacturing.

Zhang Rujing suddenly remembered something.

"Du Wei, what kind of name are you going to give this supercomputing chip?"

"Starlight 1 processor."

"Starlight 1 processor? Okay, I'll have the encapsulation shop print the name on it. ”

……

In fact, Galaxy Computer has already built the framework of a supercomputer.

According to the supercomputing chip design scheme of Xingtu Company, they prepared the card slots and other equipment of the supercomputer.

Everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, as long as the supercomputing chip designed by Xingtu Company is produced by Galaxy Semiconductor.

Then they can immediately insert the chip into the card slot and adjust it.

This supercomputer, specially designed for Fengdu Group, can be put into use.

July 6th.

Galaxy Semiconductor handed over the 17,000 Starlight 1 processors packaged for testing to Galaxy Computer Company.

With this batch of Starlight 1 processors, Galaxy Computer Co., Ltd. came directly to the headquarters building of Fengdu Group in Fair Town, Haicheng County, Shanmei.

Fengdu Group's supercomputer center is on the fifteenth floor of their headquarters building.

"Mr. Lin, let's install the chips and systems of the supercomputer." An engineer from Galaxy Computer explained to Lin Liangshen.

"Thank you guys, let's eat here at noon!"

After Lin Liangshen exchanged a few words with the engineers of Galaxy Computer, he arranged for an assistant to go to the computer room on their behalf.

It was cold in the computer room.

"Everyone's in place." The head engineer commanded.

"Okay."

"Let's get started." ……

More than 20 engineers began to install the Starlight 1 processor in the card slot one by one according to the division of labor.

Due to the powerful performance of the Starlight 1 processor, the volume of this supercomputer is only about 10 cubic meters, and the total volume is less than 30 cubic meters with other ancillary equipment.

In this 500-square-meter computer room, it is obviously extraordinarily small.

"Wang Group, this supercomputer is simply a work of art, 17,000 Starlight 1 processor, it can be comparable to the light of Shenwei Taihu Lake, and it only consumes less than 5,000 kilowatt hours a day." An engineer was amazed.

"What is this? We're building 50 billion trillion times per second of large-scale supercomputing, which is really powerful. Another engineer replied

Team Leader Wang continued to install the chip without raising his head.

"Don't talk at work, lest you break the chip."

"Uh......" Several engineers who were chatting suddenly laughed.

Thanks to the pre-designed card slots, they are very quick to install.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Starlight 1 processors were installed into the card slot.

"Whew! Succeed with flying colors! ”

"Okay, ready to install the system." Team Leader Wang patted his shoulders and neck, which were a little sore.

They came to the console and inserted a specially made memory into it.

Instantly, a reading bar pops up on the monitor.

1%…… 5%…… 99%

[Whether to install or not], Team Leader Wang immediately clicked Yes.

The operating system of this supercomputer was developed by Zhongxing Group, and there are also loyal subroutines in it.

The system was installed in no time.

"Go and notify Mr. Lin, and say that the supercomputer is ready to use."

A moment later, Lin Liangshen came to the computer room with more than a dozen program apes.

"Team Leader Wang, is the supercomputer ready to be put into use?"

Team Leader Wang nodded: "It's already usable, you can try it." ”

"You guys try it." Lin Liangshen turned his head and instructed the person in charge of the supercomputing center on the side.

"Okay, Mr. Lin." The person in charge of the supercomputing center hurriedly got busy with more than a dozen programming apes.

The supercomputer center of Fengdu Group is a single-channel computer in disguise, which means that the supercomputing center can access the Internet, while other Internet terminals cannot access the supercomputing center.

In fact, it is not impossible to access, but you can only access the supercomputing center with Zhong's permission, and if you don't have Zhong's permission, even if hackers from all over the world go together, don't want to break through the firewall of the supercomputing center.

The person in charge of the supercomputing center activated the information extraction function in the system, and in an instant, the supercomputer, which had a computing speed of 1 billion trillion times per second, enabled 10% of the power.

Invisible instructions and information quickly spread into the Dongtang Internet.

The prices of vegetables, fruits, and grains across the country were sorted out in less than ten minutes.

The multimedia projector on the side will immediately generate various charts.

"Contact the Green Earth supermarkets in various places and ask them to report the local vegetable and fruit prices to the information collection system of the head office." Lin Liangshen instructed the assistant.

After a while, the supercomputing center took over the information collection system of Fengdu Group, and the program ape that was operating the system hurriedly compared the data collected by the Green Earth Supermarket.

"Mr. Lin, it's accurate."

"Okay, now our Fengdu Group is like a tiger with wings." Lin Liangshen is also under great pressure.

After all, among the various groups of Galaxy Technology, Fengdu Group has the most serious losses and is seriously delayed.

Although he knows that this is a strategic loss, he can recover as soon as possible, who doesn't want to.
