Chapter 41: Data Centers

Zhou Yu came to the high-tech industrial park in Daxing District, and after the graphene chip was officially put into production, Xinghuo Technology impressed the Yanjing government with this huge achievement and officially planned this area as a high-tech industrial park.

And give Xinghuo Technology many preferential policies, hoping to let Xinghuo Technology drive regional development.

After the construction of chip factories and R&D centers has been completed, some upstream enterprises that supply raw materials for chip processing will also be located here, and an industrial agglomeration effect will be formed in the future, and some downstream enterprises in the chip field will gradually be occupied.

Zhou Yu's coming here today has nothing to do with the chip factory, he came to visit one of the three major data centers built by Xinghuo Technology, Yanjing Data Center.

In order to give full play to the powerful capabilities of graphene chips and provide high-quality artificial intelligence services, Xinghuo Technology has established three major data centers in the country: Yanjing Data Center, Shanghai Data Center, and Bayu Data Center.

They correspond to the northern, southern and western regions of China.

Zhou Yu put on a dust-free suit and walked into the data center, where dozens of engineers were maintaining a supercomputer 2 meters high, 1.3 meters wide, and more than 20 meters long, placed in a U-shape.

What is Yu Zhenfeng discussing with a bald-eyed man?

This glasses man is none other than Zhao Qiankun, the general manager of Xinghuo Cloud, who is responsible for managing Xinghuo Technology's data centers and all cloud services.

When Zhao Qiankun and Yu Zhenfeng saw Zhou Yu coming, they immediately stopped discussing and greeted Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zhou is good!"

Zhou Yu looked at the supercomputer in front of him, his face turned red with excitement, and said, "This is the supercomputer Pangu No. 1 assembled by the R&D center!"

For the first time, he saw the supercomputer assembled by the R&D center, and during the development of the Nuwa Type 1 chip, the R&D center simultaneously carried out the research and development of chip motherboards and other accessories.

The graphene chip officially entered industrial production, and the R&D center began to try to assemble the supercomputer Pangu No. 1.

"This is our company's Pangu-1 supercomputer, the largest in the Yanjing data center, which consists of 15 Pangu-1 and 5,000-column storage matrices.

The Shanghai data center is the second largest in scale, which consists of 12 Pangu No. 1 and 4,500 storage matrices.

The Bayu data center is the smallest, it consists of 10 Pangu No. 1 and 3,500 storage matrices. Zhao Qiankun immediately introduced the scale of the data center to Zhou Yu.

"How fast can the Pangu-1 supercomputer achieve?"

Zhou Yu asked Yu Zhenfeng about the situation of the Pangu-1 supercomputer, he only knew the theoretical data, and the actual situation was not very clear.

Yu Zhenfeng immediately introduced: "The Pangu-1 supercomputer is composed of 30,000 Nuwa-1 graphene chips.

With 2.56 billion floating-point operations per second, it has been able to dominate the world's supercomputer list for several years, and now the most advanced supercomputer in the United States has only 1.2 billion floating-point operations per second, which is more than twice as much. ”

"Mr. Zhou, why should the data center use supercomputers, Nuwa's type 1 chip with the storage matrix can form a good data center, and now the data center is designed with such a huge supercomputer group, and the computing power has long overflowed.

The Pangu-1 supercomputer is very energy-efficient, but it also needs 80 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year, and our data center is industrial electricity, and the state gives high-tech enterprises preferential electricity prices, but the annual photoelectric fee is billions of yuan. ”

Zhao Qiankun asked his doubts, he joined Xinghuo Technology, he thought that the management and the data center were the same as before, but he didn't expect it to be a huge supercomputer group, and he was under a lot of pressure.

"Our AI needs huge computing power to support it, and AI can amplify the value of supercomputers thousands of times.

Supercomputer resources are scarce in Huaxia now, and even if we only sell computer resources, it is much higher than the cost of electricity, which is much better than the pure waste of electricity like coin mining. Zhou Yu explained with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for giving me a solution, I feel like I have been empowered, and I fully understand the purpose of supercomputers." Zhao Qiankun patted his ass.

Zhou Yu walked around Pangu No. 1, he walked to both sides again, and saw hollow cabinets on both sides of Pangu No. 1 unit, in which pieces of hard disks were placed.

He guessed: "This is the giant storage device storage matrix developed by the R&D center!"

"Yes." Yu Zhenfeng replied, "The storage matrix is a storage device that we have developed specifically for storing and managing large amounts of data.

It manages 128 storage hard drives with one Nuwa Type 1 chip.

Each chip and the storage hard disk it manages form a storage matrix.

The storage matrix classifies and stores the data, and the data on the storage matrix can be quickly managed through the chip.

Each memory matrix can store 1 exabyte of data, 1 exabyte equals 1024 petabytes, 1 petabyte equals 1024 terabytes, and 1 terabyte equals 1024 gigabytes.

For general data, we carry out image backup and storage, and for important core data, we adopt a rolling storage scheme without deletion. ”

"Mr. Zhou, we've arrived." Zhang Yunqiang sent a message to Zhou Yu.

"You take care of the storage equipment, and prepare for the data handover with Xinghuo Cloud." Zhou Yu commanded.

He hung up the call and said to Zhao Qiankun: "Zhang Yunqiang, general manager of Xinghuo Intelligence, has brought the artificial intelligence database, and you are ready to hand over the data with him."

Zhao Qiankun immediately assured: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, I have already explained the procedures for data handover."

After he finished speaking, he began to organize engineers to pick up a thick data bus from the Pangu No. 1 server.

The engineer walked out of the computer room with the data bus, and a small truck with two columns of storage matrices was parked outside the computer room.

The engineer connected the data bus to the storage matrix on the pickup truck.

"Connection successful!" The Engineer reminded the crowd loudly.

"We went into the computer room and prepared to transfer the data." After Zhou Yu saw that the connection was successful, he said to the people around him.

The Pangea-1 supercomputer shows an interface for transferring data.

Zhang Yunqiang and Zhao Qiankun entered the key to transfer the data in turn, and finally Zhou Yu entered the key to confirm the transfer command.

Xiaomi: [Connect to a new device, data transfer]

[1% of data transfer progress...... 5%…… 50%…… 80%…… 100%】

[The data transfer is complete, and the swarm smart node is being activated.] 】

【Transfer Xianghua data to the new device】

[Transfer Luban data to a new device]

【Transfer Bajie data to the new device】

[To take over the highest authority of the device, please enter the key]

Zhou Yu entered the key again to let Xiaomi take over the highest authority of the supercomputer in the data center.

All Pangu No. 1 units in the three major data centers of Yanjing, Shanghai and Bayu have started to restart.

[Xiaomi is officially running, the highest authority takeover is completed, and the external data node is successfully handed over]

【Computing resources being allocated】

[Xianghua was successfully launched, and the external data node was successfully handed over to the old program]

[Luban was successfully started, and the external data node was successfully handed over to the old program]

[Bajie was successfully launched, and the external data node was successfully handed over to the old program]

[Destroy the old version of the artificial intelligence program, and the destruction is successful]

[According to the predetermined design, the artificial intelligence program Mozi is being created, and it is connected to the R&D center using a dedicated line]

Zhou Yu saw that all the AI programs were successfully launched, and officially completed the data takeover with the old data center AI.

This is not in the factory or Xinghuo Intelligence, you can't use Luban or Xiaomi, you can let the artificial intelligence run on the local server as usual.

But artificial intelligence supported by supercomputers and artificial intelligence running locally can be counted as two kinds of artificial intelligence.

Anyone who has used the voice input method can understand,What is used online is intelligent voice,Offline can only be regarded as mentally retarded voice。
