The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 193 Personal computer computing power forms a supercomputing center?

Zhou Wei looked anxious when he saw Hu looking at him, and explained:
"Boss, we can realize all the functions that Du Xinxin mentioned by making expansion packs of the 'future operating system'. That's no problem."

"But……"

"Boss, let him finish all the requirements. The requirements he said are simply too difficult for others."

"My old Zhou finally understands why everyone says that Dr. Du is difficult to deal with..."

When Hu Lai heard this, he burst out laughing.

The last time Du Xinxin was said to be difficult by strong people, the difficulty was still in Zhang Feiyang's mouth.

The last time Du Xinxin asked Zhang Feiyang to build a transparent A-pillar on the "Qingluan", I don't know what function he asked Zhou Wei to do this time.

Du Xinxin was not angry at all, and continued to talk to Hu:
"Boss, in addition to the APP Store, I am also planning to do more operating system integration."

"Just like we did on 'Qingluan', we not only built the car, but also solved all the problems of charging and parking for customers!"

"Mir's WIN operating system, just like traditional car manufacturers, just uses the operating system as a platform for everyone to use, and never thinks about solving problems in use!"

Having said that, Du Xinxin's face became more serious:

"From the perspective of the simplicity of the operating system, I hope to completely hide all system files. In fact, most customers don't need to see so many incomprehensible files."

"Only in the debugging mode of the professional version, the system folder will appear. In this way, customers are not afraid of deleting system files by mistake, and the whole system becomes concise and clear."

"In the running program, we can create a "task manager", which can clearly see all the programs running in the background, so that customers can understand what software is running in the computer, what permissions each has, and so on."

Hu Lai nodded, this is to simplify customer operations, customers do not need to know professional computer knowledge at all.

"From the perspective of the security and stability of the operating system, we must implement timely backups. That is to say, in the networked state, at least every other time when the system is turned on, we need to save the customer's system data to the cloud once as a cloud index."

"If there is no network, we must implement backups on the local hard disk. In this way, even if there is a problem with the system, data recovery can be achieved through the hard disk or the cloud."

When Du Xinxin said this, Zhou Wei on the side couldn't help but want to speak, Hu took a look at him and then turned back angrily.

Hu Lai thought about it, and this function is indeed very practical. Although the WIN system has this function, it is obviously only a hard disk backup, which is completely different from the cloud boot backup that Du Xinxin talked about.

"In addition to backing up system data, I am also planning to introduce the 'ecological interconnection' function."

Ecological interconnection? !

"Boss, we can connect the vehicle system, laptop system and all-in-one operating system to realize ecological interconnection."

"You can imagine, if one day we stayed up late at home and worked overtime to make a plan, but when we arrived at the company the next morning, we found that the file was not transferred to the cloud, or the wrong file was transferred, what should you do?"

How to do?
It must be to find a way to go home and copy the files, or ask the elderly at home to turn on the computer and transfer them.

It's okay if the old man knows how to use a computer, but if he doesn't know how to use a computer, he'll be in dire straits.

"The usual way is to turn on the computer and copy it out, right?"

Hu Lai couldn't help but nodded, don't you have other ways?

Seeing Hu Lai's expectant and doubtful eyes, Du Xinxin smiled mysteriously:
"It's easy!"

"As long as we can realize the 'ecological interconnection' function, we first use the Phoenix APP to remotely start the computer at home, and then use the Phoenix ID to log in to the Phoenix operating system on the company computer, and then we can easily read and transmit all the data on the home computer. .”

"Not only the computer at home, but even the hard disk data in the car can be read and transmitted remotely, truly realizing the 'ecological interconnection' and the interconnection of everything!"

Internet of Everything!

shit.

Good guy!
Hu Lai was a little shocked, this function can really be realized, so to put it bluntly, isn't every Phoenix device a cloud network disk?
Turtle.

I originally thought that the so-called ecological interconnection was a function similar to transferring files by mailbox or QQ, but I didn’t expect it?
This is not a single file, but the entire hard disk can be read freely?
Really Internet of Everything?
In this way, under the Phoenix operating system, how can we use any transmission tool for collaborative interaction?

Hu Lai was a little shocked. Du Xinxin's thoughts were always beyond his expectations. Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei on the side couldn't help complaining:
"Boss, this 'ecological interconnection' function is fine, we can do it according to the future operating system, but..."

"Dr. Du Xinxin Du also proposed a 'core system', requiring that even if the system crashes, there will be a special boot program to enter the cloud for backup and recovery..."

"Forget it. Although this function is difficult, it can still be achieved with hard work. The problem is that Dr. Du actually asked us to implement edge computing and cloud computing for personal computers!"

!!!

"This is simply too difficult for a strong man!"

Edge computing?

cloud computing?

Hu Lai was in a daze, and he really didn't understand the professional vocabulary.

Zhou Wei glanced helplessly at Du Xinxin. Du Xinxin touched his nose, without any expression of feeling wrong, and explained:

"Boss, to put it simply, edge computing..."

"Uh, let me give you an analogy. In our future operating system, isn't there a switch for the computing power network?"

"Once we turn on the switch of the computing power network, just like turning on the data traffic switch of mobile phone traffic, we can immediately access our cloud server and use the computing power of the server to perform cloud computing."

"However, most of our cloud servers are now set up in Shancheng City. If we use the computing power network in the Northeast region, there will inevitably be delays and network instability. If the 'edge computing' function can be realized, then it can Let the device perform calculations in the nearest computing power network."

"In this way, the connected computing power network is the closest to the device, and no matter what you do, you will feel very fast!"

Regardless of whether Hu Lai understood or not, Du Xinxin went on to say:
"And cloud computing!"

"As long as we can realize the cloud computing function of personal computers, then we can use the idle computing power of all computers installed with the Phoenix operating system in this area to form a brand new small computing power network to realize real edge computing!"

???

Cloud Computing on PC?

The idle computing power of idle computers forms a small computing power network?
Then the small computing power network connected to Phoenix's cloud server can also realize the edge computing function?

This is a local area network?

Turtle!

The nonsense has been covered.

After Hu Lai thought about it several times, he finally understood what Du Xinxin was thinking.

If it is said that the computing power value of Phoenix’s computing power network was provided by the server before, then Du Xinxin’s requirement is that the computer installed with the Phoenix operating system can also provide computing power value.

Although the computing power of personal computers is very small, in a district, one personal computer has less computing power, but what about ten, one hundred, one thousand?
And these one hundred and one thousand computers alone form a small computing power network. If any computer needs to use the computing power network, then there is no need for the server to provide the computing power value, and the computing power value of the remaining 99 computers is enough. !
Only when the required computing power exceeds the maximum value of the small computing power network, the server computing power will be involved...

have to say……

This idea is simply beautiful.

If it can be used well, it can really be regarded as waste utilization.

For example, some writers who write novels, even with I7 computer configuration and 1080TI graphics card, open a Word document all day long and write crazy code words. Do you think it is a waste of electricity?
If you can rent out the spare computing power of the I7CPU and graphics card to form a computing power network, not to mention being able to exchange money, even if you exchange some small gift recharge cards, you will be happy.

If this function can be realized, then the computing power value that Phoenix's computing power network can use is not just a hypothetical cloud server!

Strictly speaking, it is a supercomputing center composed of personal computers?

Oh my God!
It cannot be denied that Du Xinxin's idea is indeed very advanced, and it is indeed very unconstrained!

Thinking of this, Hu Lai couldn't help sighing in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Wei.

No wonder Zhou Wei made complaints about it. I'm afraid it can't be achieved with the current technology, right?

wrong!

Uh……

Hu Lai had a flash of inspiration. Today he came to the Information Technology Department specially to hear the opinions of Zhou Wei and Du Xinxin. Since Du Xinxin has made this request, he can enter the system later to see if there is such a function!

He recited it in his mind several times, memorized edge computing and cloud computing, and then looked at Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei also looked helpless at the moment.

"Boss, anyway, this function is currently difficult to implement, I can only say try!"

Hu Lai already had a plan in mind, so he didn't say any more, but turned his attention to Du Xinxin.

Du Xinxin was not polite, and continued: "In addition to these, I am also going to test the artificial intelligence robot on a PC..."

Hu Lai did not interrupt, and listened carefully to all Du Xinxin's requests.

Except for artificial intelligence robots, the rest is some more routine detail optimization.

For example, on the WIN system, it is common to optimize the messy details such as unable to delete files, unable to read files, requiring administrator privileges, etc.

Hu Lai waited quietly for Du Xinxin to finish speaking, and after thinking for a moment, he offered his opinion.

"Xinxin, artificial intelligence robots can be developed, but this time, don't worry."

"We launched the artificial intelligence robot Xiaohuang on the 'Qingluan' to better control the vehicle and better improve customer experience."

"I can't think of other uses for artificial intelligence robots on the computer side other than helping to play games and become kings."

"The most important thing is that there are a lot of research and development tasks this time, and this artificial intelligence robot can be used as a selling point on higher-end computers in the future."

Du Xinxin thought for a moment, and felt that this function could be slowed down.

After chatting a few more details, Du Xinxin suddenly said:

"Boss, there is a function that I didn't bring up with Zhou Wei, but I still hope you can agree."

Hu Lai was taken aback, waiting for Du Xinxin to continue.

"Although we have the 'ecological interconnection' function, which can realize the interconnection of internal devices in the system, I still hope to give 500 G of cloud storage space to customers who buy our computers as a gift."

"It is still necessary to have an independent and convenient cloud storage space, which will increase customer stickiness."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Wei couldn't sit still.

"Dr. Du, don't give it away casually!"

He turned to look at Hu Lai:

"Boss, what Dr. Du just said about uploading the system backup to the cloud is already a very large amount of data transmission, and now we are also giving away 500 G cloud disks. This fee is too high!"

"This is an operating system, not Baidu Netdisk! Didn't you see that Baidu Netdisk, which specializes in cloud storage, is in a mess?"

"If you want me to say, with the 'ecological interconnection' function, even 10 G is completely enough, even 10 G is a huge expense!"

500 G cloud storage?
All along, Zhou Wei has been in charge of the maintenance and operation of Phoenix's cloud server, and when he heard this, he immediately spoke the right words.

As a reminder of his words, Hu Lai also remembered the cloud network disk business in his impression.

The cloud network disk was once very hot in the Internet field of Yanguo, and big names such as Weiyun, Baidu, and Ali all entered the game.

but.

In the end, after so many years of operation, almost all the thunder and rain are little, and the income cannot make ends meet.

More importantly, even if it is claimed to give away hundreds of gigabytes of network disk capacity, if you want to download after uploading in the end, the download speed is simply touching if you don't rush the membership.

Hu Lai frowned, Du Xinxin pointed out that the 500G cloud network disk is indeed considered from the perspective of customer experience, but...

What Zhou Wei said also made sense.

Ok?
Suddenly, Hu Lai narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help thinking that didn't he rent or buy some cloud servers to build a computing power network?
Overjoyed, he hurriedly asked:

"Old Zhou, don't we have a cloud server? No..."

Seeing Hu Lai's puzzled eyes, Zhou Wei quickly explained:
"Boss, the main purpose of our cloud server is to build a computing power network and provide comprehensive computing power, so CPU and GPU are mainly used to provide computing power, and there are not many hard disk storage configurations."

"The most important thing about cloud storage is physical hard disk storage."

amount.

It turned out to be the case, but Hu Lai was even more puzzled.

Now that we have servers, can we add hard disks to them, so that we can take into account both cloud computing power and cloud storage?
Zhou Wei obviously knew what Hu Lai was thinking, and continued:
"It's really not a big problem to install hard drives on our existing servers, but there is another cost for cloud storage, which is bandwidth, that is, upload and download speeds."

"If the hard disk is a one-time fee, then the bandwidth is calculated based on the size of the uploaded and downloaded files, and this sum of money needs to be paid to the operator."

"Perhaps it is better to understand it this way. The broadband at our home is 199 yuan per month, while the broadband of the enterprise server does not have a monthly subscription, and is paid according to the usage traffic."

"The more traffic you use, the more you pay."

At the end, Zhou Wei did not forget to add:
"If we want to have unlimited and unlimited speed in a large area, we can only expect the large-scale application of 5G communication, and we can only expect the speed increase and tariff reduction after the large-scale application of 5G, but now..."

"It's a little hard!"

Hu Lai completely understood.

In other words, if this function is free, it means that these costs are borne by Phoenix itself, no wonder Zhou Wei's reaction is so violent.

The reduction of 5G tariffs is obviously not achievable in the short term.

For a while, he remembered that the leaders of the mountain city had told him the news that several 5G base stations in the mountain city had shut down.

Second-tier cities like Shancheng City have yet to fully popularize 5G, let alone other cities.

Hu Lai sighed, and his thoughts returned to the cloud network disk. The 500 G that Du Xinxin said was indeed a bit much.

Before he could speak, Du Xinxin was not so persistent in his words:
"Boss, the specific capacity can be determined after calculation, but I strongly recommend having this function."

"20G, 50G, 100G are all available!"

"it is good!"

Hu Lai didn't say much. He is not an expert on the specific content, and it is inconvenient for him to make a decision.

He also knows that although Zhou Wei is reluctant, as long as the function is confirmed, the project team including Zhou Wei will carefully calculate the pros and cons, so he doesn't have to worry too much about these details.

Seeing that the two were about to discuss the details again, Hu Lai, who was full of ideas, hurried back to the office. He couldn't wait to enter the system to see if the two functions Du Xinxin just mentioned were available.

"Ding... welcome to the Light of Domestic Products system."

……

PS: I am flustered by everyone's monthly votes. I have nothing to say, so I will continue to code.
