Chapter 535: Dawning Star Sea Supercomputer!
On the other hand, the presidents of several other companies also showed similar expressions.
It seems that all companies are waiting for the 45nm process to be implemented, and then start to turn defeat into victory.
In this regard, at this time, Dawning Technology does not know this, and does not know that the Semiconductor Alliance has treated Dawning Technology as meat on the chopping board, and is planning to draw how to cut meat from Dawning Technology.
However, in any case, at this time, Sugon Technology is still in the process of research and development.
Whether it is 32nm process technology, 5G mobile communication technology, Industry 4.0 and even Dawning artificial intelligence technology, the progress is quite fast, but it will not be lazy because of a little victory.
So it's unknown who will win and who will lose in the future, and who will treat whom as meat on the chopping block.
……
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, February and March 2007 passed like this, and the time quietly came to April 18, 2007.
On this day, Intel announced that they had successfully produced the world's first chip with a 45nm process technology.
And it was announced that a month later, on May 18, a press conference will be held to officially release the fourth-generation Core processor.
In this regard, when this news came out, it naturally triggered a super earthquake in the global technology circle.
For a time, the global technology circle was talking about the news that the West had successfully won the 45nm process technology and once again led the world.
And as soon as such news came out, the Internet media and the people in Daxia naturally became anxious.
The media and the people are all anxious about when the 45nm process technology of Shuguang Technology will come out, and the future of Daxia Semiconductor.
However, in the face of anxiety from the outside world, the focus of Sugon Technology at this time is not on the official 45nm process in the West.
Because the supercomputer that Sugon Technology has spent several months building is about to start trial operation!
……
Daxia, Tianijin, near the Haihe River, near the coastline, on a high slope in a newly built building.
"Is this the Dawning Star Sea supercomputer?"
At this time, it was a middle-aged man with a serious face who uttered the words of exclamation.
"Well, this is the Dawning Xinghai supercomputer we developed."
At this time, it was Lin Chen who spoke with emotion.
Now Lin Chen was following behind this middle-aged man with a serious face, and he was doing this with Lin Chen's status at this time.
It is foreseeable that the status of this man with a serious face is really quite high, enough to keep many people awake at night.
On the other side, Ni Guangnan, the person in charge of the Shuguang R&D Center, interjected:
"We have been researching and developing this Dawning Xinghai supercomputer for a long time, but it is up to Lin Chen to really land it quickly.
I have to say that we have a Lin Chen in Daxia, which is really the luck of my Daxia semiconductor industry.
If there is no Dawning Technology, then we will not talk about the world's most powerful supercomputer in front of us at this time.
It is a question whether our domestic computer chips and mobile phone chips can be born. ”
After speaking, Ni Guangnan was really full of emotion, and felt that the most correct decision in his life was to join Shuguang Technology.
The reason for this is not how much high wages he receives, nor how high the company status he gets.
The reason is that he has realized his chip dream here in Shuguang Technology and realized the dream of becoming a scientific and technological power!
"Lin Chen is indeed a great hero of our semiconductor industry."
At this time, the big guy with a serious face gave affirmative words.
Hearing this, the senior executives of the Dawning System who accompanied them were naturally greatly relieved in their hearts.
With the words of the big guy, many companies in Shuguang Technology, including the Shuguang system, will be able to avoid many invisible troubles.
After all, in the end, Dawning Technology has grown to this point, and it is indeed a little sensitive.
With the words of the big guy, Shuguang Technology can avoid many tangible and invisible troubles, and there is no need to worry about being "unloaded and killed donkey".
At this time, the man with a serious face turned his eyes to the supercomputer on the side and said:
"Now let me see how powerful this supercomputer is that claims to be able to change the world."
"Well, let's start the boot test officially."
Lin Chen, who nodded, made arrangements for the staff on the other side to turn on the machine.
Seeing this, the staff who received the order naturally began to get busy in full swing, only to see that in the next few minutes, a burst of Weng chimes rang out.
The main source of this burst of honks was the oversized cabinets that stood upright, about one person tall and three people shoulder-width apart.
This large cabinet uses a layered blade structure, with a total of 1,024 second-generation Ryzen R7 processors and 2,048 Sugon GTX270 graphics chips using 65nm process technology.
And there are 40 of them!
In other words, the Dawning Xinghai supercomputer in front of you actually has a total of 40,960 Ryzen R7 processors and 81,920 Dawning GTX270 graphics chips!
Among them, it is worth mentioning that these second-generation Ryzen R7 processors and second-generation Dawning GTX270 graphics cards are not normal graphics cards sold on the market.
Rather, it is a specially customized chip with ultra-high communication bandwidth and ultra-large running cache, which is specially designed for special scenarios such as supercomputers.
Of course, it is not enough to rely on CPU and GPU chips, after all, how to allocate and coordinate the computing tasks of CPU and GPU and transmit high-speed bandwidth is a big problem.
After all, the real art and differentiation of supercomputers lies in how to make perfect use of the performance of each chip, without producing an incident where one core is difficult and many cores are watching.
Therefore, for the 40,960 specially customized Ryzen R7 processors and 81,920 specially customized Dawning GTX270 graphics card chips, 16 network cabinets and a core computer that is only responsible for assigning tasks and co-ordination, but not responsible for computing.
Of course, this Dawn Xinghai supercomputer is not simply piled up with several times more chips and network cabinets than the light of Shenwei Taihu Lake in the previous life.
Its main innovation lies in the cloud computing architecture proposed by Lin Chen, perfected by Ni Guangnan and other Daxia academicians, and finally verified by Lin Chen through virtual laboratory experiments.
The official name of this cloud computing architecture is Xinghai architecture, and its architectural characteristics are the same as the name "Xinghai", which is to allow countless chips to form a Xinghai.
Among them, the system efficiency of this Xinghai architecture is not high in the current supercomputer field, only 53%, which is 1% worse than Tianhe-1, and worse than the average of more than 55% of supercomputers in later generations.
But sacrificing system efficiency will inevitably give you a greater advantage elsewhere, just like his name, "Xinghai".
The biggest feature of its architecture is that, like the codename "Xinghai", it can continuously increase the number of chips while still maintaining high efficiency.
Therefore, the current 40 super-large cabinets are actually not its upper limit, as long as Sugon Technology wants, it can continue to add new super-large cabinets to obtain stronger performance. (End of chapter)
