Chapter 1084 Supercomputer Complex Cooling System

"Of course I support it. As the saying goes, working with men and women is not tiring. Besides, the old man who advocated him back then can say that women can hold half the sky, and we can't underestimate women's abilities." Jiang Chen smiled. He said: "About artificial intelligence, to be honest, I don't know much about it. But I know that technology in this area is an important direction and a main direction of future computer technology. I don't know if our center has plans for this."

Mr. Zhu who was next to him shook his head and said, "We don't have any plans for this yet. On the one hand, it's because we don't have the conditions yet, and on the other hand, our understanding of this aspect is still relatively shallow. Our plan may be In the future, we will rely on young talents like Xiaonan who have returned from abroad, especially in terms of software and artificial intelligence, to organize a scientific research team to specialize in research in this area. But this is a system project, and it is also a long-term investment project. , requires long-term and strong investment from the company.”

Jiang Chen nodded when he heard the words: "Indeed, it is not suitable for us to carry out research work in this area right now. However, we can conduct it in the form of an interest group first. As for investment, let's take our time. I actually I am very optimistic about the development of this aspect.”

Lin Xiaonan next to him said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, in fact, artificial intelligence is really promising. Among other things, the manufacturing and production robots currently used by the company can also be regarded as a kind of artificial intelligence technology. I think we should start investing in research in this area as soon as possible, and I think this will be of great help to our upgrade and improvement in manufacturing.”

Well, Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Lin Xiaonan and said, "I know that this kind of robot is computer technology, but I didn't expect that they also belong to the category of artificial intelligence. That's right, the robot is also designed and developed to simulate the characteristics of human beings. Like this , Sister Lin, I am very interested in this aspect, let's make an appointment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let's have a good chat."

"Okay." Lin Xiaonan said with a satisfied smile.

After everyone finished talking, under the guidance of the staff, Jiang Chen and the others came to a door on the second floor of an independent three-story building in the computer center complex. Mr. Zhu introduced to Jiang Chen with a smile: " Xiao Jiang, this is the computer room where our computer is stored and operated."

Oh, Jiang Chen looked at the computer room with more interest, and this computer room was separated by a thick metal shiny iron door.And Mr. Zhu smiled at Jiang Chen when he saw Jiang Chen's puzzled look: "Although this computer is said to be one, but to be precise, it should grow into a large-scale computer system. Its system includes the mainframe of the entire large-scale computer. Cluster system, management control center, computing processing center, computer room system, power supply system, database and other major systems."

Seeing how interested Jiang Chen and the others were, Elder Zhu smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "Let's go, let's talk while watching."

With that said, Elder Zhu led Jiang Chen towards the iron gate.And several young staff members waiting nearby said to Jiang Chen, "Boss Jiang, please put on your shoe covers."

Oh, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Zhu explained with a smile: "The entire computer room is in a dust-free and sterile environment. This is done to protect the entire host unit from being infected by external factors, which will cause damage and prolong the life of the computer. The service life of its related electronic components. Therefore, we require all personnel entering the computer room to wear shoe covers."

"Oh, since that's the case, that's fine, we will abide by the regulations here." Jiang Chen put on the shoe covers by himself.The staff next to him gave Jiang Chen another army green coat.Before Jiang Chen could ask, Mr. Zhu next to him said with a smile: "Because the main engine cluster emits a lot of heat during operation, we must cool down these clusters to avoid burning out electronic components due to excessive temperature. .So we installed a cooling system for the entire computer room, so that the temperature inside the computer room is always kept at about two degrees."

Jiang Chen nodded and asked Elder Zhu while wearing the army coat, "Why did you choose to keep it at two degrees. Since the temperature is going to be lowered, shouldn't the lower the better?"

Mr. Ma next to him smiled and shook his head and said: "The lower the better, on the one hand our electronic components actually have requirements on the temperature. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the performance of the electronic components, and even Electronic components are damaged due to low temperature. If the temperature is too high, the cooling effect will not be achieved, so we have chosen a constant temperature of about two degrees after repeated tests. The reason for choosing this temperature is because the freezing temperature of water is Zero degrees, and two degrees higher than zero, so it can make the water vapor generated in the room due to various reasons not easy to freeze, thus damaging the equipment."

"So that's the case." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect there to be such a great knowledge here."

"Hehe, Xiao Jiang, don't look at the temperature control of the computer. This is also a knowledge." Ma Lao said with a smile: "Take our computer system as an example, and its temperature control system is very complicated. The subdivision can be divided into four parts. The first part is the heat dissipation system of each processing cluster in these host clusters. It is mainly composed of metal cooling strips and fan air supply and heat dissipation, in order to control the cooling of each processing cluster. The temperature of the processor chips in the group is the first. The second is the ventilation system in the laboratory. Of course, the third is the air conditioning and refrigeration system. , in addition to the function of heat dissipation and ventilation, there is another important function, that is, dehumidification, so that the interior of the computer room is always in a relatively dry environment. The third air-conditioning and refrigeration system is mainly to control the temperature inside the entire computer room The functions in this aspect play a role of constant temperature. Of course, the high temperature generated instantly when the host equipment is running at full capacity, the first three levels are not enough. So we added a set of special The emergency cooling system during the operation of the equipment is called the water circulation cooling system."

"Xiao Jiang, look at these pipelines." Ma Lao pointed to those complicated pipelines protruding out and said to Jiang Chen: "These pipelines are the water circulation cooling system. It is composed of several main pipelines, branch pipelines, and small pipelines. This is a bit like the blood vessels of the human body, consisting of large arteries, medium arteries, small arteries, and capillaries, and then composed of venous blood vessels to form a circulatory system. A steady stream of cold water is sent into a small pipe through the pipe Cool down the equipment, and then recycle it through the pipeline to bring out the heat. We have tested this system, and its instant cooling effect is very significant. After Xiaonan's proposal, this water circulation cooling system, we have passed the company's in-house Foreign branches apply for relevant international patents, which are expected to be approved soon.”

"I didn't expect such a complicated deconstruction of a cooling system. It's really eye-opening. Come on, let's go in. I can't wait." Jiang Chen walked inside, The others smiled and followed to the interior of the computer room.
