Chapter 29: Algorithms Are Too Special
Dune City, in a large private room at the Huatian Hotel.
This private room can accommodate more than 500 people to hold Ye Fei algorithm press conference.
At this time, there were many people sitting in the private room, all of whom were from many medium-sized companies in Xia Kingdom.
The companies that come the most today are Internet companies, followed by automotive companies and robotics companies.
These three companies need algorithms the most.
Of course, none of the people who came were company bosses, they were all managers.
Everyone was chatting with each other about the upcoming algorithm launch.
A moment later, He Xing walked up to the stage with the microphone.
"Welcome to today's algorithm conference, I am the manager of the Dune City Branch of Xinhai Trading Co., Ltd., my name is He Xing."
"Papapa......" There was warm applause below.
"Everyone knows the function of the algorithm, so I won't introduce it much, and I will invite Mr. Ye Fei, the creator of the algorithm."
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Ye Fei walked onto the stage with warm applause.
Ye Fei faced all the business elites, and he was not stage frightened at all, and said: "Hello everyone, I am Ye Fei, a doctoral student in the Department of Mathematics of Zhonghu University. ”
"Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mathematics of Zhonghu University?" Everyone was surprised, looking at Ye Fei, he was about the same as twenty-one or twelve years old, and there were very few PhDs at this age!
Twenty-one-twelve-year-old doctors, generally geniuses.
But that's not the focus of their attention, so just be surprised.
Ye Fei said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's start algorithm testing now, and we will speak with data." ”
"If you're bored, you can go to the private room next to it, where there is food."
Next, Ye Fei used a computer on the stage to test, and the picture on the computer screen was displayed on the large display screen hanging on the wall, which was visible to everyone present.
An hour later!
Everyone saw that the average number of floating-point operations on the screen reached 5 trillion times, and the highest value was 6 trillion times, and the size was 100Mb.
They nodded, satisfied with the number of floating-point operations.
Five trillion floating-point operations are enough for companies like them.
At most, they are used in home computers, unmanned cars and robots, or even in cloud computing.
The rest of the uses, even if they want to use them, cannot be used because the company's business is not involved.
"Huh?" Suddenly, someone was surprised: "The size is so small?" ”
Soon, the rest of the people also found out.
It stands to reason that an algorithm with five trillion floating-point operations should not be so small.
Small means that there is very little code to write the algorithm.
However, how can there be less code for an algorithm of 5 trillion times?
Ye Fei was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, and said with a smile: "Let me briefly introduce this algorithm. ”
"This algorithm, I call it graph computation, the full name is Turing computability algorithm."
"The reason why it is so called is because of this algorithm, I make use of a lot of mathematical knowledge, mainly computability knowledge in Turing equivalence knowledge in set theory."
"The Turing equivalence problem is one of the unsolved puzzles of set theory, and I have been working on it recently, and I happened to use Turing equivalence knowledge to create this algorithm."
"There is very little computer knowledge used in this, nine out of ten is mathematical knowledge, and zero point of ten is computer knowledge."
Ye Fei smiled: "I'll open the background code for you to see." ”
After that, open the algorithm background.
Everyone was surprised to see the background code, it turned out that there was only such a little code, which can explain why it is only 100Mb.
But soon, they exclaimed: "All the mathematical knowledge is used, and the computer knowledge is very little!" ”
"yes!"
"What the hell is going on?"
“……”
In the whole code, most of it is math knowledge, and computer knowledge is very little used.
The computer knowledge used is even negligible, and almost all of it is mathematics.
Everyone was shocked and said, "He actually packed all his mathematical knowledge into one bag." ”
"What about the translation mechanism? Don't you need to use computer knowledge to translate mathematical knowledge into computer language? ”
"But how does that make the algorithm work?"
“……”
At this time, everyone also had the same doubts as Professor Zhou.
The man stood up and said, "May I ask Mr. Ye, why does your algorithm only have so little computer knowledge, and it doesn't need to translate and guide computer knowledge?" ”
Everyone looked at Ye Fei, this was exactly what everyone cared about.
Graph computing has very little computer knowledge, does not require a translation mechanism and a guidance mechanism, which means the same amount of work, and the code of graph computing method is less than that of other algorithms.
Less means fewer and shorter running paths, and with strong mathematical logic, the running speed will be very fast.
Ye Fei shook his head and said, "No need!" ”
"I think number is the most primitive language of the world, it runs through races, humans and machines, and numbers go into the computer, and they don't need to be translated, the computer itself can read it."
"Numbers have a soul in their own right, they are smarter than humans, they don't need guidance, they know how to do their jobs."
"That's why I only have so little computer knowledge in my algorithms."
Everyone was still very confused, but they couldn't learn the graph algorithm code now, so they could only suppress the doubts in their hearts.
Soon, the algorithm conference ended, and everyone left quickly.
They want to go back and report today's situation to the boss, Ye Fei's algorithm is too special.
Middle Lake University, dormitory!
"Ye Fei, you're famous." Zhuang Nan sat in front of the computer and said: "Someone posted the live video of the algorithm conference to Stack Exchange, and many people are talking about you. ”
"Be famous, be famous!" Ye Fei smiled: "It's hard for an excellent person like me to be famous." ”
"Why are you so underwhelmed now!" Zhou Lin said with a smile: "Ye Fei, when will I install this algorithm on my computer, the speed must be very fast." ”
Ye Fei shook his head and said: "What do you think, this is just an algorithm, it is part of the system, and I don't know how to make a system." ”
Algorithm + Programming = Software/System
Ye Fei doesn't know how to program, so naturally he can't make systems or software.
"Then you'll make one." Xu Tiandao: "You have made the algorithm, it must be easy to make other things on the system." ”
"No!" Ye Fei said: "It takes energy, and there is no time." ”
"Hey......" The other three looked at Ye Fei speechlessly.
With Ye Fei's current ability, if he develops a computer system, he will definitely be able to make the computer run at a fast speed.
If you take it out and sell it, although it is not as big as Microsoft, it is sold to some special enterprises and needs to run independently of the system.
It should sell well.
This is the difference between a top student and a scumbag!
Some people want to do it, but they don't have the strength.
There are people who have the strength, but don't want to do it.
Look at what Ye Fei said, I don't want to do it, I don't have energy, I don't have time.
Compare goods to throw, people are more popular than people!
