July 24th.

Baoshan Industrial Zone.

A piece of equipment consisting of 108 large cabinets was transported by multiple trucks to the gate of the third R&D factory of Xinghai Technology.

After the shockproof design of the compartment door was opened, the cabinet shell and parts inside were carefully moved out by the workers.

All of them were carried gently and carried into the factory.

The supercomputer customized by Xinghai Technology Company has arrived.

The manufacturer is Shuguang Group.

The computer model is Dawning TC9000, which uses 28,800 high-performance processors internally, with a peak operation of 7,994 TFlop/s, or 079.97 million times per second.

This computing speed is only 0.8% of that of Tianhe-3E, which ranks first in China.

The performance is 4.26% of the world's No. 1 country M supercomputing summit.

It can't even reach the speed of 100 million trillion operations.

In Chen Jin's eyes, the TC9000 he bought is simply rubbish.

Even so!

The computing power of this TC9000 ranks sixth in country Z, surpassing Tianhe-1, which has won the world's first.

In the world's top 500 supercomputing list, this TC9000 can be ranked 38th.

Definitely a supercomputer worthy of its name.

As for its purchase price, it is priced at 550 million and does not accept counteroffers!

"Xinghai Technology buys one!" Chen Jin waved his hand and directly got off the stage.

In other words, can you still buy a supercomputer?

Of course.

In fact, Baidu, Alibaba, Huayao and other companies have purchased several supercomputers to build big data centers, cloud platforms and so on.

Among the more than 200 supercomputers in country Z that are among the world's top 500, a considerable part are purchased by private companies.

It's just that like Xinghai Technology, it is almost impossible to directly customize and buy a supercomputer that ranks sixth in China.

Because most technology companies do not spend so much money to buy a supercomputer directly, most of them go to a special supercomputing center, spend money to buy hours, and "rent" supercomputing.

It's not very cost-effective to buy one directly.

And Chen Jin spent 550 million yuan to buy a supercomputer, not because he was rich and capricious, but because it was more cost-effective.

The "intelligent learning program" that Xinghai Technology will develop can use up the computing power of this supercomputer.

Maybe not even enough!

Even Tianhe-3E, which is the strongest in China and the world's No. 1, Chen Jin feels that his computing power is too weak.

Unless the "Crimson" in the base of the big pit and used by Alice is moved to this side of the earth, with the "Crimson" 1 trillion times per second computing power, it is almost enough.

"Bringing 'Crimson' to Earth? Well, if you remove the motherboard, CPU, memory, hard disk and other parts, and carry them thousands of times, you can indeed move them to the earth and use them here. ”

"But, it won't be long before my secret will be known, and then taken away by the mysterious department, and then interrogated, investigated, or beaten or something, in short, don't try to keep the secret."

"Anything that is at least five or six steps ahead of the earth, if you bring it here, it's like looking for death."

So don't even think about saving a penny of the money you should spend.

After the purchase of this TC9000, the R&D hardware required for the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project can be said to be complete, and it can be fully developed.

Its performance is basically enough for the time being, because the 1.0 version of the "Intelligent Learning Machine" is mainly aimed at users who are primary school students.

A technical discussion event.

陈今 says:

"The "Intelligent Learning Machine" I envisioned is not required to be omniscient and omnipotent at the beginning, but divided into several stages."

"The first stage, the primary school stage, provides teaching and answering services for primary school students in Chinese, mathematics, English and other subjects."

"The knowledge points at this stage are relatively rudimentary, simple, and belong to the entry-level knowledge, and these knowledge, with the supercomputer bought by the company, may only take a few hours to learn after running the intelligent learning program."

"The second stage, the junior high school student stage, the knowledge points at this stage are more difficult and complex than those of primary school students, but for the company's supercomputer, it is only a few months of computing."

"In the third stage of high school students, there are obviously more knowledge points, and they are more difficult and complex, and they have begun to touch some esoteric and difficult content, so that the company's supercomputer can learn and achieve 100% mastery, I am afraid it will take at least three years or more."

"The fourth stage of the university stage, not to mention, is only a variety of majors in the university, there are at least a thousand, if you do not increase the number of supercomputers in the company, I am afraid that ten years, you will not be able to completely master the knowledge points of this stage."

"The last stage is the all-round stage of 'omniscient, omniscient', at this stage, Xinghai Technology can announce to the outside world that we have mastered the knowledge of the whole world, and our 'omnipotent learning machine' or 'omnipotent program' will bring earth-shaking changes to the world!"

"In the future, when people encounter problems that they don't understand, they can ask at any time the 'all-round learning machine', engaged in mental workers, no matter what technical problems they encounter, they can consult our 'all-round assistant', and the 'all-round assistant' will solve it for you in a short time."

"So, do you still think that the product I made is just a simple learning machine?"

"No, not at all!"

"What I do is a knowledge base, an all-knowing and all-powerful 'brain', and a 'tool' that can eliminate mental work in the future."

"The so-called learning machine is just an incidental product, and compared to the several ultimate products of this project, the learning machine is simply not worth mentioning!"

After listening to his words.

Rumble~

The technicians were stunned.

They were shocked by the scene described by the boss and the ambition in his heart!

They had a heated discussion.

"Mr. Chen's idea may become a reality, as long as the computing power of the supercomputer is powerful enough, we can grasp the knowledge of the whole world!"

"What can't be done, knowledge is endless, and it is impossible for computers to record it, for a simple example, 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 this mathematical problem, there are 362 880 kinds (9!). Variants, but the meaning is exactly the same, thousands of words in the dictionary, more combinations than the atoms of the whole universe, supercomputers, can't grasp all knowledge, not even enough medium to store knowledge. ”

Another young man retorted: "You are so wrong! The knowledge of this world has its superficial form, and there are axioms hidden in it, especially the logical science, its essence is the law of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the Pythagorean law, the three laws of mechanics, the equation of chemical reactions, etc., these formula laws are the essence of this world! As long as we have mastered these essences, we have mastered all the knowledge. ”

"Yes, He Fei is right, it is said that the knowledge of the world, excluding those recorded liberal arts knowledge, is purely scientific and technological, and the knowledge accumulated by human beings for thousands of years can be filled in a small room."

"All changes are inseparable, the basic principles are mastered thoroughly, and this world is not as complicated as you and I imagined."

Technical Director Song Bojun also nodded: "That's right, the intelligent learning program we are studying, the process of learning knowledge, lies in mastering the 'essence', in mastering the laws of physics, mathematical formulas, and grammar in Chinese, and then drawing inferences from one another, and integrating it, which is not a simple exhaustive act, so it is called an intelligent learning program...... It learns intelligently and applies flexibly. ”

Everyone nodded.

The man who felt that he couldn't do it also nodded and said, "I understand." ”

He Fei, a young man, said: "Mr. Chen, Director Song, as long as we make the intelligent learning program, just a learning machine is not a problem at all, and the learning machine 1.0 used by primary school students can be made in half a year at most!" The knowledge at the elementary school level is too simple. ”

"Yes, it's so easy!"

"If you do it, we will definitely do it! The intelligent learning machine can be made 100%! ”

Song Bojun's eyes flashed with burning confidence, and he waved his big hand: "Let's go, go back to your respective workstations, I want to lead you to take down the intelligent learning program within a month!" ”

Hula, everyone returned to their posts.

Hundreds of programmers in the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project are in a full state of mind and devote themselves to their work.

After learning about the boss's ambition, Song Bojun's project team was full of enthusiasm and strong self-confidence, and turned into a hard work drive.

At this scene, Chen Jin nodded with satisfaction.

No matter how others are not optimistic about his learning machine project, at least on the side of the R&D team, no one is holding him back.
