Cafe near Middle Lake University!

"Hello, Academician Guan!" Ye Fei shook hands with the middle-aged man in front of him and sat down.

Academician Guan's name is Guan Fei, and he is the person in charge of the National Supercomputer Dune Center.

Next, Ye Fei cooperated with the supercomputing center to develop supercomputing algorithms, so before that, Ye Fei would meet with the person in charge of the supercomputing center.

So, we made an appointment to meet at a café near the university.

Academician Guan looked about sixty years old and looked very elegant.

Tall and thin, wearing a pair of glasses.

Ye Fei glanced at his thick hair and shook his head in his heart.

Those programmers have little hair and don't have much to do with work, only with genes.

Look at Academician Guan, they have all become computer academicians, and their hair is still very thick.

"Ye Fei, I have been famous for you for a long time." Academician Guan smiled: "Especially in recent months, I have heard many people in the industry talk about you, and my ears are calloused. ”

"Famous?" Ye Fei was puzzled, he had just become famous!

"I heard your mentor mention you a year ago."

"My mentor, Professor Lu Yishan?" Ye Fei asked.

"It's him!" Academician Guan nodded: "At that time, he said that he accepted a smart student, but he didn't expect that a year later, his student was better than blue." ”

"Academician Guan, you have won the award." Ye Feidao.

"I read the paper you hung on Arxiv a few days ago, and the quality is very high, and there is an article in it called programming optimization of mathematical algorithms in computers, is it the content of mathematical algorithms?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "Specifically, it's just one of the two important nodes in the mathematical algorithm." ”

"Can you tell us a little bit?"

"In mathematical algorithms, there are two places that are most important, namely computer structure design and mathematical model design."

"In my paper, I wrote about mathematical model design."

"If anyone can develop a computer structure design, combined with my mathematical model design, they can develop a mathematical algorithm."

"Huh?" Academician Guan raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid that someone will develop a mathematical algorithm?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Ye Fei shook his head: "Even if I don't do this, mathematical algorithms will be studied by many people in the future." ”

"And it's just an algorithm that I developed casually, and I'll call it Math Algorithm 1.0."

"As I study and research mathematics in the future, I will be able to develop better and more advanced algorithms."

"Even now, with a little more effort and time, I can develop algorithms that are better than mathematical algorithms."

"So, why am I afraid that someone will develop a mathematical algorithm?"

Professor Guan was speechless in his heart, this is better than pretending.

But if it is really as Ye Fei said, then he is really not afraid that someone will develop a mathematical algorithm.

After all, if someone developed a mathematical algorithm 1.0, Ye Fei later developed a more advanced mathematical algorithm.

Well, math algorithm 1.0 is useless.

This is the way the market is, when better products appear, products that were previously thought to be good will be quickly discarded.

It's like touchscreen phones and smartphones, which used to be thought to be very useful, but soon after the advent of smartphones, touchscreen phones were abandoned and smartphones were used.

Academician Guan said: "Our place of work is in the 111 base, there are more than 300 scientific researchers, in addition to me, there is one academician, five second-level professors, 15 third-level professors, 50 fourth-level professors and more than 300 doctors.

The National Supercomputing Dune Center has 11 bases, each of which is in charge of an important part of the supercomputing center, and the 111 base is the algorithm base.

"All of them are scholars who graduated from well-known universities at home and abroad."

"Including the world-renowned universities you know, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford."

Ye Fei smacked his tongue, this lineup is too luxurious, and it deserves to be one of the eight supercomputing centers in Xia Kingdom.

University teachers are divided into thirteen levels, from level 1 to level 4 for full professors, levels 5 to 7 for associate professors, levels 8 to 10 for lecturers, and levels 11 to 13 for teaching assistants.

All of them are first-class professors, but not all first-class professors are academicians.

Ordinary people, if they are a third-level professor, they may not be promoted to a second-level professor in their lifetime.

Similarly, most second-level professors cannot be promoted to first-level professors.

99.9% of first-class professors are not promoted to academicians.

Because since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have only been 1,697 academicians in total, so you can imagine how difficult it is to become an academician.

"300 million in scientific research funds!"

"Three hundred million?" Ye Fei said in astonishment: "Academician Guan, I remember that it only cost 720 million when the supercomputing center was built, and now it takes 300 million to create a supercomputing mathematical algorithm?" ”

Academician Guan shook his head and said: "You can't calculate it like this, the supercomputing center was built in 2010, thirteen years ago, and now prices have more than tripled compared with that time." ”

"If you look at the supercomputing center that Lucheng began to build two years ago, the total investment is more than 2 billion."

"So 300 million is not much."

"Oh!" Ye Fei nodded as if he didn't understand.

"It has a lot to do with you."

"And me?" Ye Fei was surprised.

"Yes!" Academician Guan nodded and said, "I heard that I am cooperating with you to create a supercomputing algorithm, and the support is very strong. ”

"He also said that if the funds are not enough, he can continue to apply."

Academician Guan was also puzzled, did Ye Fei have any background? The support from above is so strong.

"That's enough." Ye Feidao.

If 300 million can't create a supercomputing algorithm, he can find a piece of tofu and kill him.

And, he decided in his heart.

Since there is so much money, we must develop the most perfect supercomputing algorithm.

"These people and money, it's all about you."

Ye Feiting's heart was heavy, and he felt a strong sense of responsibility.

"When the time comes, you will be in charge of technology, and I will be in charge of management."

"Technically, everyone assists you, including me."

"But in terms of management, you have to listen to me."

"No problem!"

"No problem." Ye Feidao.

After that, Academician Guan said some things about the supercomputing center.

"What?" Ye Fei was stunned: "The servers of the supercomputing center are still rented out?" ”

In Ye Fei's thoughts, the National Supercomputing Center belongs to the state and is a state-owned enterprise.

It's about scientific research, not renting out servers.

"The supercomputing center just rents out the inexhaustible server functions to make a little money." Professor Guan said: "Now any state-owned enterprise cannot just spend money and not make money. ”

"It is necessary to spend money and make money, and to achieve a balance is the most basic, and it is best to have more income than expenditure."

"The National Supercomputing Center calculates that most of the funds are provided by the state, and a small part of the funds can be collected from the society."

"Therefore, we will use the remaining server functions to rent to the society to make money."

"That's what all the supercomputing centers in the world do."

"Aren't you afraid that people from outside will hack into the database and steal scientific research and technology?" Ye Fei asked.

"It can't be!" Professor Guan shook his head.

"We don't accept all projects, like some projects that need to be connected to the Internet, we will take on some projects such as animation design."

"For example, the bear infested anime in the past few years, we will take it."

"Moreover, all operations are under the supervision of our people."

"In addition, we divide the server into many parts, renting out the civilian server and scientific research server."

"There's no direct connection between them, and you have to go through a lot of levels to get from a civilian server to a research server."

"In such a situation, how can it be possible to steal scientific research and technology."

Ye Fei nodded, I see, it is really impossible to steal scientific research and technology in this way.

After chatting for a while, the two separated, and Ye Fei started working at the National Supercomputing Center tomorrow.

PS: It is true that the server of the National Supercomputing Center is rented out, and the server of the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou is rented out, which can be found on the official website.
