Leaving this tail, Duke who was stimulated by Professor Smith's letter began to put the matter of studying abroad application on the agenda, originally the GRE score came out, and Duke could start the study abroad application, but there were too many things in SAL during this time, and Duke had not completely straightened out the technical aspects, if Duke slapped his ass and left at this time, Cai Siqiang They are not dumbfounded, just kidding, not everyone has a Kerry implanted in them, Which project of SAL is not the current top level of technology, except for Duke, who dares to say that it can cope with it.

The entire application process at MIT is not complicated, and Lao Mei will not be bored enough to be mysterious in this regard, so Duke quickly completed all the operations on the process, provided relevant materials, paid the application fee, and completed the school application process. According to the online strategy, you also need to "set the magnet" with the target professor and get a professor who is willing to accept you. In terms of selecting students, schools in the United States pay more attention to the opinions of professors themselves, especially well-known professors, than in China. After Duke's search and screening, MIT's authoritative Professor Bohr in speech recognition and artificial intelligence entered Duke's sight and became the main target, although Professor Bohr's achievements in speech recognition are slightly inferior to Smith, but in artificial intelligence is stronger, after all, MIT's computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory is the top in the world today, and Duke believes that his doctoral career will not be dull. In this way, with Kerry's assistance, coupled with the study and integration of Professor Bohr's achievements, he has once again made a world-leading achievement in artificial intelligence, which should be in line with everyone's perception and successfully win a doctorate, right? Duke calculated.

Of course, to impress Professor Pol, a grandmaster-level person, of course, Duke has to come up with some skills, since the speech recognition paper has been recognized by authoritative figures, Duke will take it as the main feature, with this paper and Sala voice input method, this big killer, and then attach a review of artificial intelligence, in the data collected by voice recognition before, there are also a lot of artificial intelligence data collected, including an important work of Professor Pol, Therefore, Duke's review of artificial intelligence synthesized by Kerry cannot be written without in-depth research on artificial intelligence, and I believe that Professor Pol will at least regard Duke as a very potential researcher after reading these materials, not to mention that he will see him too late. and all other materials, including Duke's own research brief, were sorted out and sent to Professor Bohr.

With all this done, Duke began to calm down and seriously consider the next steps.

Now SAL is basically on the right track, and Duke has provided a complete SDK for several core parts of speech recognition-related products, and the company's R&D department is now fully capable of continuing to develop and improve the product based on this SDK.

Now there is only this jointly developed game, based on the game engine framework provided by Shengda Company, Kerry has completed the core part of the optimization of the server and client, and has reached the level of one million concurrent users in Kerry's simulation test, of course, this is based on the distributed service cluster, but this new game engine framework optimized by Kerry has been unrecognizable, and the program code has basically been modified by Kerry to have no readability, according to this situation, even Duke himself can't explain the code at all, Not to mention explaining how so much code was modified in such a short period of time, Duke had no other way but to package it into an SDK, not providing the source code, but providing a secondary development interface in the form of an SDK.

After handing over the demo program and SDK to Shengda, Qin Chu obviously had a lot of complaints, they signed a joint development agreement, the game revenue and benefits are shared, and the intellectual property rights of the game are also shared by both parties, what is the matter if they can't get the source code?

The technical executives of Shengda Company immediately rebounded and strongly demanded that Qin Chu get the source code, originally this transaction was very unequal in the eyes of these technical executives, and it did not reflect the advantages of Shengda Company at all, and it was simply an unequal treaty that betrayed the company's interests. After all, none of them have seen the magic of Duke's voice recognition technology, but it is too much to infer from common sense that they will exchange a game adaptation copyright and a speech recognition technology for fifty percent of the revenue.

Of course, in their minds, they think that the so-called joint development is mainly based on the company's game engine framework, which is equivalent to most of the research and development work has to be completed by Shengda company, and SAL company is not even qualified to start in terms of game engine core, this technology depends on the accumulation of experience, SAL, a little-known small company, and the technical executives of Shengda have never heard of it before, how strong can this technical ability be. However, when the company's testing department tested the performance of the demo application developed based on Duke's improved new game engine framework, the technicians involved in the test were almost all stupid when they saw the result data at first glance: I went to simulate and test a set of servers to support up to 30,000 concurrent users!

Selling cakes, this, this, how is it possible that a group of servers can support 30,000 concurrent users?! In the face of this amazing level, the Shengda testers didn't believe it, it must be a problem with the test program, or there was a problem with the operation, because if according to the game engine framework they originally provided, in a group of servers, that is, a server group composed of 1 character server, 1 battlefield server, 1 field server and 1 copy server, it is already the limit to be able to support up to 6,000 concurrent people, and in order to run stably and smoothly, a group of servers is generally limited to 5,000 concurrent users.

Stimulated by the testers of Shengda company repeatedly tested five times, the results are still exactly the same, and finally believe that the miracle was born, in the face of this god-like test results, those technical executives of Shengda company who were originally skeptical shut up, according to this data, support millions of users concurrency, the required servers are only forty groups, well, even if the performance gap between the demo and the real application is discounted, at most it can not exceed fifty sets of servers.

Well, just looking at this data, we don't have any intuitive feelings, compared with the World of Warcraft introduced by ninety percent of the year, presumably everyone will be more aware of the meaning of this number, when it was the hottest in Nine Cities, it was claimed that the highest number of online users in World of Warcraft exceeded one million, in order to support this million simultaneous online players, ninety percent spent a full 77 million US dollars, yes, you read that right, it is US dollars, $77 million USdollar! Thousands of servers are used. Of course, after so many years, the performance of the server has also been greatly improved, and by 09 NetEase took over Warcraft and rebuilt a new Warcraft server cluster, which still cost a full 22 million US dollars.

Now everyone understands the significance of Duke's optimization of the game engine, just the server investment, Shengda Company will greatly reduce the investment cost, because now the price of the server for the test demo is less than 100,000 yuan, according to 50 groups of 200 units, plus some backup redundancy, and the main control minicomputer, the total investment in hardware is not more than 30 million yuan, that is to say, the budget of 30 million to build a game server cluster can support millions of concurrent users, what is this concept? That is, at a fraction of the hardware configuration cost of other game companies, it can support the largest number of online users of the same scale. What a cost competitive advantage this is.

Qin Chu, this kid has picked up a treasure! The company's originally skeptical executives had to admit it. The boss of Shengda made a decisive decision to directly send the entire game team of more than 100 people to Rongcheng, and cooperate closely with SAL to close the closed development, even if it adds nearly one million travel expenses to the company every month. SAL has such a strong technical ability, compared to the voice recognition ability shown in the original protocol, Mr. Shengda pays more attention to the optimization ability of the game engine framework, you must know that this is the soul part of a game, relatively speaking, voice control is just a special way of client control, of course, it is the best, and it will not essentially affect the future of a game, at least in the current situation that most games are still controlled in the same way.

In addition, the boss of Shengda also has an unspeakable little abacus, that is, SAL can optimize the core of the game engine in such a short period of time, the development progress of this game is put here to develop, it seems more guaranteed, originally Shengda company planned to launch the first beta version within half a year, just in time for the peak reading period of this novel, and now it seems that with the cooperation of SAL company, this progress still has a chance to advance, this time is too precious, online a month in advance, With the help of the popularity of the novel itself, how much promotion cost will be saved? To be able to lay down Shengda Company to make such a big deal, the vision of the CEO of Shengda is obviously very sharp.

It took two weeks,Duke integrated the more than 100 people of Shengda company and the people of SAL company,Mainly to train the development of the new engine SDK of the game,After all, this thing is much more complicated than the Sala input method,The interface has increased dozens of times,It's too difficult to get started without training,Fortunately, although Kerry has optimized a lot of code,The functions under the original engine framework can remain unchanged or try to keep the parameters unchanged,Let the group of developers of Shengda feel a bit of déjà vu, Finally, after two weeks of training, I embarked on the journey.

And Professor Pol also quickly replied to Duke's email, expressed the meaning of acceptance, and put forward a request for a video call, in his opinion, such an excellent talent should already be very famous, how could he think of studying his own doctorate, it is someone else's ghostwriting, but through Skype video conversation, Duke answered Professor Pol's technical questions accurately in fluent English, Duke's understanding of speech recognition and artificial intelligence has fully reached the level of an excellent doctorate, confirming that it is indeed my ability, For such an excellent student, Pol is very happy to say several greats, saying that he will actively promote the school's review of Duke's application, and provide full scholarships, and Duke himself can prepare passports and other necessary items for studying abroad.

Brother is leaving? Thinking about these few months, Duke feels like a dream. From a hard-working unemployed youth, he has gradually been crowned with the aura of an online god, a technical wizard, and a quasi-billionaire.

PS: The second update, today the two more than 5,000, can be completed at 11 o'clock, for Xiaofei, the scrap material, it is definitely not an easy thing, the first volume is over today, the following will be the pig's feet in the MIT to kill the Quartet, let's look forward to a different campus career, wonderful life, from today has just begun
