Today's dinner party is a good occasion for socializing, but there are many people and many people, and secondly, there is not so much time to talk about too many things.

Besides, even if it was just a formality, I had to ask Zhu Lan to consult Lin Guofan's opinion.

Not to mention that Chang Haonan is just cooperating with others, the two sides are still in an equal relationship.

Even if a higher-level unit wants to transfer work, except in rare special circumstances, the consent of the family must be sought first.

Therefore, after the initial determination of the cooperation intention, the more specific content must be put to the back to talk slowly.

After Zhu Lan and Chang Haonan said goodbye and left, Li Jie, who was sitting next to him, looked at the former's back and asked with some surprise:

"Comrade Xiao Chang still has such a familiar colleague in the northwest?"

Those invited to today's ceremony wore badges with their names and employers.

After the ceremony, most of the people didn't have time to pick it up, and they were taken directly to the banquet hall on the second floor.

Therefore, Li Jie can directly see that Zhu Lan is from Jincheng University in the northwest.

"Ah, I met when I was engaged in aviation meteorology research in Nanzheng, and Professor Zhu and his husband, Professor Lin Guofan, made a lot of efforts at that time."

Of course, Chang Haonan has nothing to hide from these contents.

Li Jie paused for a moment, and then said as if talking to himself:

"If it is really to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, it should indeed be Jincheng University to contribute more......

Of course, Chang Haonan knew that this railway would definitely be built, but at this time, he still had to install it:

"Does the country really have a plan to build a railway in the snow area?"

Li Jie nodded:

"It has been started for a long time since the Xining to Golmud section was started in the 50s, but it took nearly 30 years to complete and open to traffic.

After briefly explaining the situation to Chang Haonan, he changed his words again and asked the latter:

"What you just said, using numerical calculations to analyze the situation after the dynamic load is applied to the roadbed in the permafrost area, are you really sure that it can be done?"

"At least from my professional point of view, it's okay, and it won't take long to develop that extended toolkit for the infinite element method."

Chang Haonan gave an affirmative answer almost without thinking:

"Of course, any numerical calculation that is implemented into a specific engineering problem needs to be supported by corresponding data, and it is impossible to calculate in the void."

"Therefore, the relevant characteristics of permafrost, such as convection, mass migration, heat dissipation of water evaporation, heat conduction of soil skeleton and other media, ice-water phase transformation, and of course, other characteristic data that other geologists know but do not know, it is definitely necessary to investigate and analyze the actual situation along the line......

As a researcher in the field of numerical computing, Li Jie certainly knows that what Chang Haonan said later can be regarded as a supplementary explanation for rigorous conduct.

So he directly condensed the entire paragraph of the answer into one word-

Yes.

"If that's the case, then we at Dawning Group should have to prepare in advance......

In addition to being the new director of the Computing Institute, Li Jie is also the chairman and general manager of Sugon Group.

Due to the butterfly effect set off by Chang Haonan, the situation of the Computing Institute and Shuguang Group is much better than in the previous life, at least it has not been reversely annexed by the Dream Group, which has now operated independently.

However, the latter, as an asset-heavy R&D company, still needs to work hard to maintain a balance of payments.

Of course, Chang Haonan is also clear about this situation.

So when Li Jie said this, he also became interested:

"Speaking of which, Academician Li, I don't know how the research and development progress of Dawning 2000 is?"

"At present, the computing speed of Dawning 1000 and Dawning 1000A is a bit unable to keep up with our needs."

In the face of Chang Haonan's strong urging, Li Jie calculated the current timetable a little, and then replied:

"If nothing else, the Dawning 2000-1 will be put into use in the second half of this year, and according to some experience from the previous Dawning 1000A, the calculation speed of the new model can be increased by about an order of magnitude."

"What I'm thinking about now is whether to design a suitable supercomputer for super-large projects like the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in advance, so that when the project is really approved, even if our product performance is a little worse, but there is no need to wait for stock, it can still account for some share of use......"

In fact, computer hardware is similar to software, and we are not afraid of falling behind for a while, but we are afraid that there is no market.

If there is no market, there will be no feedback, and it will not bring up a whole industrial chain.

And the wave of supercomputing craze set off by Chang Haonan last year can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of Shuguang Group.

Otherwise, the capital chain may not be able to hold on.

However, relying only on some universities, and they are all orders from second- and third-rate universities with poor conditions, is definitely not the way to do it in the long run.

The Dawning series of supercomputers still needs to prove themselves on a bigger stage.

But if you really want to surpass foreign countries in hard indicators, especially their counterparts in the United States and Japan, it is obviously not something that can be achieved in one or two years.

That's why Li Jie thought about taking some side roads.

I have to say that this idea is indeed something Chang Haonan has not thought of before.

But after listening to Li Jie's thoughts, Chang Haonan's mind instantly popped up with a more self-liberating thought:

"Academician Li, I think we might as well do it more simply."

"Can we get Shuguang Group to cooperate with our Torch Group to optimize a supercomputer for TORCH Multiphysics numerical calculation software, such as...... It can be called Shuguang 2000T, which is specially used for super-large projects such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, anyway, they are dedicated to special planes, and they can not care about compatibility at all......"

He didn't know much about the world of computer hardware.

However, from the experience of previous lives, it should be feasible for computers to optimize specific types of applications at the level of hardware, or at least the underlying driver software.

For example, mining with N card is better than using A card......

At this moment, it was Li Jie's turn to shine:

"You mean...... Bundle ......"

"It's not...... Don't say it so ugly......"

Chang Haonan hurriedly waved his hand and denied:

"Can it be called a joint model......"

"It is definitely not good to buy and sell, but we can add some exclusive functions of the Dawning 2000T co-branded model to the professional version of the software for the public, which is equivalent to buying half a professional promotion model after unlocking, and then suggest that customers choose your Dawning Group's product ......"

"Of course, the profits of this co-branded model will definitely be shared with our Torch Group......"

Chang Haonan's gameplay is a bit similar to a platform exclusive in the game industry, or at least the first exclusive, which is a very common marketing strategy in later generations.

However, in China in the late 90s, it was obviously still relatively fresh, at least it made Li Jie feel a little brain-burning for a while.

After a while, he came to his senses:

"If you want to do this, it's not just a matter of system and architecture, but even the core hardware, such as the chip level, has to be modified accordingly......

"Of course it has to be changed."

For Chang Haonan, who has traveled back from nearly 20 years later, "making chips independently" is almost an instinctive idea.

So, he went on to explain:

"If our supercomputer, and even the entire semiconductor industry, want to develop, it is impossible to rely on the finished hardware provided by foreign countries forever, and one day we must rely on ourselves."

"Since there is always such a day, it is better to prepare early."

"I didn't say that I want to do it in one step, you can start with the design first, it's a big deal to find someone else to do OEM for production, supercomputing chips are not consumer-grade products, and they are relatively less sensitive."

"In short, we not only want to revitalize a Shuguang Group, but also pull up the upstream industrial chain little by little, at least we can't let people fall farther and farther away."

"At present, the international environment is relatively not so tense, and there is still the possibility of obtaining some technology and cooperation from abroad, if you don't take this opportunity to start chasing quickly, in case the situation changes in the future, and then want to break through, it will be much more difficult......

Clear and logical.

Li Jie took a deep breath and stared at Chang Haonan for a while before nodding:

"Okay, I'll start arranging it when I get back."
