After completing the signing ceremony, Duke was caught by President Liu and directly taught a three-day course on new operating system architecture design for a group of experts, professors and scientific research backbones at HKUST.

There is no way, President Liu has completed the establishment of a major national scientific research project of the operating system for more than a month, and it is impossible to have no movement, the people of several units of the entire project team add up, and the core personnel alone are dozens of professors and doctors, plus the surrounding developers, this team has exceeded 300 people.

The R&D team can also be increased at any time as needed, and President Liu's first phase of application for the first phase of national funding reached 60 million yuan, which is enough to support the mobilization of nearly 1,000 R&D personnel to participate in this project, because for schools and scientific research institutions, the basic salary of R&D personnel is allocated by the state, and the funds applied for by President Liu are already sufficient as materials and bonuses.

But the premise is that the project must have convincing results, otherwise President Liu really can't afford to lose this person. So as soon as he heard that Duke was back, Principal Liu made a special trip to catch Duke at the SAL squatting point to ask about the progress.

Fortunately, Duke has really studied this in the early stage, and the architecture of the two large systems at the desktop and server levels has basically been spectra, in fact, the product is roughly like Kerry developed the first version of the prototype on the basis of Craylinux, and in terms of performance testing, these two versions of the prototype have extremely good performance.

Compared to Bill's plague to death, the performance of these two prototypes is much better with the same hardware performance. But there is a serious problem, and that is that the compatibility is far from being dead by the plague.

Whether it is software compatibility or hardware compatibility, since Kerry does not have more reference software and hardware samples, there is not much consideration in terms of compatibility.

In principle, this Linux-based operating system, it is not difficult to achieve binary compatibility with authentic Linux, but it is not easy to achieve binary compatibility with the plague to death.

However, this not only poses a significant risk of infringement, but also gives people a very unprofessional feeling. It is not a big problem to use in the military system or within the government, but it is completely unreliable for ordinary civilian use, because most of the ordinary software is now developed based on the plague to death system.

However, Duke could not solve all these problems by himself, he just communicated with Principal Liu about his own considerations on this operating system, and after describing them according to the two prototypes, the more Principal Liu listened, the more moved he became. He is a real expert in this area, and he has a deep understanding of the current mainstream operating systems, including the operating systems of supercomputers.

Duke's operating system architecture with a strong supercomputer style is in line with President Liu's current concept, that is, the system is based on high reliability, high performance and high security, supplemented by compatibility, and the focus is to let the country have an operating system that can be controlled independently, so as to provide a safe computer software environment for users of important national institutions.

Under this premise, if the system can be binary compatible with applications under Linux, President Liu thinks it is acceptable.

Therefore, after listening to the idea of the two prototype systems of Duke, President Liu was very satisfied, and the server version can realize the unification of mainframe and medium-sized workstations with massive memory and large number of CPU clusters of supercomputer architecture, which is the most practical feature for institutional users.

Because if this step can be achieved, it is equivalent to saying that many applications, such as databases, web servers, video servers and other resource-consuming applications, can improve performance through direct hardware expansion without changing the program.

The desktop type supports multi-logic CPUs up to 256 CPUs, which also fully takes into account the scalability of the system, according to the 2014 main CPU up to 32 cores of computing, this desktop system can also support up to 8 small workstations, which is enough for small server applications, not to mention ordinary desktop systems.

As the main person in charge of system architecture design, Duke had no choice but to communicate his design ideas with the R&D backbone, so he opened a three-day architecture design course at HKUST.

Although in the field of speech recognition and artificial intelligence, everyone now recognizes Duke as an expert, but in the field of operating systems, please, a person always has limited energy, after all, it is a human being and not a god.

At the beginning of the lecture, these experts were quite unimpressed, but as the Duke outline went straight to the topic, these experts and doctoral elites knew that geniuses really exist in this world, and they are all experts who have studied operating systems, otherwise they would not have joined this major national project.

Therefore, as soon as Duke talked about design ideas, layering and other specific architecture design, he immediately found that this was not repeating what everyone knew in the past, but directly talking about the architecture of a new system. After listening to Duke's lecture, the pessimistic experts found that their research for more than ten or twenty years had been in vain, and it was completely different from the young man on the stage who was talking eloquently.

The more optimistic ones are very excited, thinking that this time there may be a real hope to make a thing of their own, instead of simply packaging Linux to deal with the above cheating project funds. Because in addition to the lowest-level hardware operation architecture, we can also see some shadows of Linux systems, and above the core application layer is a new distributed design.

Compared with Linux, the distributed system architecture provided by Duke is stronger, and it is completely aimed at the current trend of multi-CPU and multi-core hardware systems, and it is very easy to give full play to the system performance. Three days passed in a flash, and although these experts and backbones were still a little unsatisfied, Duke really couldn't afford to delay so much time.

With the natural nuclear reactor rock sample in hand, Duke hurried back to the United States to solve the mystery of the principle of the natural nuclear reactor and make it his last achievement at MIT, and then turned around and left, drawing a perfect end to his days at MIT, so as to turn around and start his career with all his might.

In fact, the content of Duke's lectures in the past three days is enough for these experts to go down for several months, and even make an initial prototype system on this basis. Therefore, Duke very resolutely rejected President Liu's gracious offer and re-embarked on the journey to the United States.
