Chapter 340 Super Black Technology CUDA Parallel Computing Architecture

Because in the previous life, almost most of the games and software on the Pingguo iOS system were native programming languages developed by Pingguo, that is, developed by Objective-C or Swift languages.

There is no doubt that Shuguang Technology also wants to learn from Pingguo Company in its previous life and develop its own native programming language.

Only in this way can the Dawning smartphone system and the Dawning computer system get the best smooth experience.

The development of this programming language is obviously quite difficult, and its development difficulty is not much easier than the development of a computer system.

So until now, the Dawning R&D Center has only made a beta version, and it will take a little time before the official version is released.

However, although the official version may be released a little slower, Lin Chen is quite confident in this programming language.

Although the portability of this Dawning programming language is a little poor, the main application scope is for Dawning processors and future Dawning X86 processors.

But this Shuguang programming language has many advantages, Lin Chen is from his previous life in 2023, and he naturally has a vision ahead of the times when he set up a project to develop a programming language.

Therefore, at the time of project research and development, Sugon's programming language was also quite advanced, and many functions were like black technology in this era, which was enough to shock programmers around the world.

Of course, it is precisely because Lin Chen has engaged in too many black technologies in the Dawning programming language that the development progress of the Dawning programming language is too slow.

It's only now that a beta version has been made, and it's still some time before a stable official version is born.

But gossip, in addition to programming languages, Lin Chen actually has an important strategic plan.

This strategic plan is the game engine arrangement, which is actually to spend a lot of money to acquire the game engine companies currently on the market and then make follow-up arrangements.

There are many current game engines, and they are the IdTech game engine of IdSoftware, founded by John Carmack, the father of 3D games.

The Frost game engine developed by DICE, which is controlled by EA......

Unreal Game Engine, developed by Epic......

In addition, there are also domestic game engines on the island in China, such as the DOMO engine for games such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Xuanyuan Sword".

There are many game engines in the world, but only a few can really survive, such as Frost Engine, Unreal Engine, etc.

The acquisition target of the Dawning R&D Center this time is undoubtedly placed on Epic, which controls Unreal Engine, after all, the name of Unreal Engine in the previous life was world-famous.

And now Epic's Unreal Engine has been launched to Unreal Engine 3 this year, so it can be said that Unreal Engine has officially started to make its glorious history!

Therefore, Dawning Technology is also targeting the currently ownerless Epic company, as for the other frost engines are the property of EA, it is difficult for Dawning Technology to take the frost engine from EA.

In the end, the only target left for Dawning Technology was Epic, and as for whether they allowed Dawning R&D Center to buy them, as long as the money was in place, they would naturally be willing to sell their shares.

Of course, if it doesn't work anymore, then Sugon R&D Center will not hang itself from a tree, but will choose to acquire other companies.

Among them, Lin Chen also has high hopes in terms of game engines, and the future era is the era of game engines after all!

After all, it is impossible for those game companies to develop a game from scratch and then use that game engine to develop a game, which is too inefficient.

If there is a mature and inexpensive game engine, the game development company will undoubtedly save 50% of the work.

In this case, they naturally could not refuse such a game engine.

Therefore, Sugon Technology must master a powerful and perfect game engine, and the cost of using this game engine must be very low.

Make it impossible for those game development companies to refuse, so that Sugon Technology will be able to achieve a strategic goal after that.

This strategic purpose is also a conspiracy, which means that in the future, games developed using the Dawning game engine will be naturally highly compatible with the Dawning computer system or the Dawning smartphone system.

They can easily port the game to the Dawning smartphone system and Dawning computer operating system, reducing the porting cost to a dispensable degree.

After doing so, the number of games on the future Sugon computer operating system and Sugon smartphone system will become a lot, after all, who would refuse to have one more game platform to make money for their games?

Therefore, the game engine strategy of Sugon Technology can be said to have far-reaching influence, and it will have the same profound impact on the future Sugon smartphone system and Sugon computer operating system as the previous Sugon programming language.

However, the acquisition of the game engine is obviously not a simple matter, and after Lin Chen made the arrangement, the corresponding negotiators also rushed to Epic.

Whether or not Epic can win the Unreal Engine Lin Chen doesn't dare to pack a ticket, but Sugon Technology will not give up the game engine, that's for sure.

And time passed slowly.

In the following time, whether it is Lin Chen, Dawning Technology, Dawning Electronics, Dawning R&D Center, Dawning Trading, Dawning Semiconductor and other companies are all in a busy state.

In the mobile phone industry, Nuojiya, Motoluola, Sanyi, and Suo Ni Ellixin are jointly developing smartphones, in order to defeat the Dawning S2 smartphone as soon as possible.

Wei Soft in the computer industry is still arrogant and looks down on the Dawning computer system being developed, and Intel is holding back the big move to develop the Core processor, of course, at the same time, it also includes Invida.

This is because after Weida Company launched the black technology SLI technology this year and won the victory, they are also taking out a 10 billion dollar gamble to develop the next generation of stronger black technology CUDA architecture!

As the name suggests, SLI technology is a black technology that allows multiple graphics cards to be connected together, thereby greatly improving the graphics processing power of a single computer.

In the previous life, this technology was called "dual graphics card crossfire", "graphics card crossfire" and so on!

It can be said that it is with the powerful graphics display performance of this SLI technology that the company has completely hoisted the ATI graphics card, and promoted the prelude to its decline. Company D's acquisition of ATI Graphics was the foreshadowing.

At this time, the CUDA architecture they are developing is more powerful than SLI technology, and it is more capable of being called a real black technology technology, which can be called a revolution in the field of graphics cards.

The reason why the CUDA architecture can be called a round of graphics card revolution is that it is a real black technology technology because it is a GPU architecture that can be truly parallelized.

If SLI technology only integrates one or more other graphics cards to work together, the performance improvement of an additional graphics card is not up to 50%, and there is a large performance loss and waste.

The CUDA architecture is like a supercomputer, allowing multiple GPU chips to work together in parallel to do a job, and also to do something that was previously only done by the CPU. (End of chapter)
