Chapter 653: Supercomputing Center

At the end of the state banquet, many guests left one after another.

After Tang Yuan successfully obtained the private contact information of the bigwigs, he walked out of the banquet hall with the flow of people, and then under the guidance of the state banquet commissioner, he quickly returned to the Wangfujing Oriental Culture Hotel where he stayed by taking the special car when he came.

When he arrived at the hotel, Yuan Meng, Xiong Kai and others had been waiting in front of the hotel for a long time, and the two sides were almost seamless, leaving no chance for danger at all, which can be described as extremely rigorous.

"Xiong Kai, contact Wan Xinming and ask him to come to the executive lounge to meet me."

Tang Yuan walked towards the hotel and instructed Xiong Kai.

"Okay."

When Xiong Kai heard this, he immediately complied with Tang Yuan's request.

"Tang Dong, how does it feel to participate in the state banquet?"

Yuan Meng, who was walking on the other side of Tang Yuan, saw that Tang Yuan was in a very good mood, he showed a little curiosity, and couldn't help but ask Tang Yuan: "Are the dishes of the state banquet delicious?" ”

"It feels solemn, serious, and restrained."

"As for the taste of the state banquet dishes, it is indeed worthy of its reputation, but the portion is a little small, and the meal system is adopted, and the specification is four dishes and one soup, and I have not eaten enough."

Wan Xinming pushed his glasses and replied seriously: "Tang Dong, you are right, at present, our company in Singapore has six supercomputer clusters, and at this stage, this computing power is completely sufficient." ”

"If we want to develop artificial intelligence technology, we need to continuously train our large models in depth, and if we want to do these things, the important basic hardware we rely on is the chip, am I right?"

"The state banquet has just ended, and I thought of something, so I called you over."

Wan Xinming shook his head and replied truthfully.

Since Altran Technology officially changed its name to Wahuang Technology, the other party has completely broken away from the management system of the Victor Foundation and has become a technology company privately controlled by Tang Yuan, so Wan Xinming's title for Tang Yuan has also changed from the original chairman to Tang Dong.

When Tang Yuan heard this, he immediately asked: "Then if [Wahuang] is officially launched, facing hundreds of millions, or even billions of customer groups around the world, do you think these six groups of supercomputer clusters can still be used?" ”

While speaking, Tang Yuan took the elevator and quickly came to the hotel's executive lounge, and when he came to the executive lounge, Wan Xinming also happened to have just arrived.

"Not to mention billions of customer groups, that is, hundreds of millions of customer groups, I am afraid that only by preparing to build a large-scale supercomputing center can we barely meet the huge demand for computing power."

Tang Yuan casually found a place to sit down, then opened the wine list and ordered two glasses of whiskey, and then said to Wan Xinming straight to the point: "Chief Engineer Wan, some time ago, we have always discussed topics related to technology, but today I realized that hardware is equally important through my discussion with Mr. Penguin Ma and Mr. Byte Zhang. ”

"That's certainly not enough."

"Tang Dong, you look for me."

"Forehead ......"

Tang Yuan rubbed his stomach, he felt that when he returned to the room, it was necessary to have a supper with Su Chuchu again, otherwise exercising on a hungry stomach would easily affect his combat power.

"Chief Engineer Wan, which company does our supercomputing computer cluster come from?"

"Nvidia."

"Why NVIDIA?"

"Because looking at the global chip market, Nvidia is far ahead, and the single CPU Token per second throughput of its most advanced chips, which you can also understand as the training speed, is currently the highest level in the entire chip industry."

When it comes to professional fields, Wan Xinming has shown a very high level of professionalism, and in the face of Tang Yuan's many inquiries, it can be said that he answered fluently without the slightest hesitation.

Tang Yuan bowed slightly: "In this case, then you and your team members will work overtime in the past two days to come up with a supercomputing center construction plan that can meet the needs of one billion people using [Wahuang] as soon as possible, and I will contact Supervisor Danny later and ask the Victor Foundation to contact Nvidia and implement this supercomputing center as soon as possible." ”

"Now?"

Wan Xinming was a little stunned: "Tang Dong, we will establish a supercomputing center now, and we will directly benchmark the billion-level customer group at the beginning, is it a little too anxious?" We can gradually build our supercomputing center according to market feedback after [Wahuang] is officially launched. ”

"Chief Engineer Wan, if Wahuang Technology has not been separated from the Victor Foundation and is still within the management system of the Victor Foundation, then there is really no need for us to set up a supercomputing center of such a scale in advance."

Tang Yuan took a sip of his wine glass, and then sighed lightly: "What I said in Tianlin Pavilion that day, do Chief Engineer Wan still remember?" ”

"The field of artificial intelligence is very likely to be the key to the fourth industrial revolution, and if it is such an important technology, if it is not in the hands of the West, do you think the West will turn a blind eye and let us develop wildly at home?"

"If the West adopts a technological blockade, how should we respond then? You must know that the world's most advanced chip technology is now in the hands of the West, and the West has always worn a pair of pants, if they require all chip manufacturers not to supply to us, then what is the use of our technology? ”

When Wan Xinming heard Tang Yuan's explanation, he quickly understood what Tang Yuan was worried about, because according to many historical facts, what Tang Yuan was worried about was not unreasonable.

As we all know, he is a complete hooligan.

In commercial competition, if you can't compete, you will engage in means.

If you can't get it with means, then grab it directly.

There is no bottom line, there is no principle, and hegemonism is vividly displayed.

Technological blockade?

Cut off chips?

Wan Xinming sounds a little outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, it is really possible for the US imperialists to do such a thing.

"It's better to waste than to get people stuck."

Tang Yuan drank all the whiskey in the wine glass, and he said slowly: "Chief Engineer Wan, I hope you will pay attention to this matter and give me a result as soon as possible, okay?" ”

"Tang Dong, I understand."

"Regarding the construction plan of the supercomputing center, I will hand it over to you as soon as possible."

Wan Xinming took a deep breath and replied with a straight face.

"I'll wait for your news."

Tang Yuan bowed slightly, and then stood up from the chair.

After all the things that should be said were finished, he didn't delay Wan Xinming's time anymore, because it was now more than nine o'clock in the evening, and if he delayed for a while, the other party's employees in Singapore would fall asleep, and he had to quickly ask Wan Xinming to call them back to the company to work overtime.

Look at those part-time authors, they are still in 8+8 work mode every day, and these programmers only want to sleep at nine o'clock, is this reasonable?

Irrationality!

It's so unreasonable!

Get up and work for me!
