Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1450 Supercomputer with 50 million operations per second
Under the leadership of Lin Xiaonan and Mr. Zhu, Jiang Chen and his group came to the auxiliary building of the computer center.For this place, Jiang Chen and the others can be said to be very familiar with it, because this is the most important part of the computer center, where the supercomputer 'Dao' is placed.

Seeing Jiang Chen and the others' puzzled eyes, Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "First of all, what we are here to show you is the most important and one of the main projects of our computer center, which is the research and development of supercomputers. .”

"Hasn't our supercomputer 'Tao' been successfully developed, so now this is..." the fat man was a little puzzled.

Regarding this, Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "There are all these materials, didn't you read them carefully?"

Uh, the fat man said in embarrassment: "The information is too long and difficult to understand, so I felt a little sleepy after reading it, so I didn't read it."

Hearing the words, Jiang Chen was full of black lines, and wanted to kick this guy away. Standing together is simply embarrassing.But Mr. Ma smiled and waved his hands and said: "You can't blame Xiao Chen, these are some very professional materials and reports, it's understandable for him to be sleepy if he can't read them."

"Hahahaha,,," everyone laughed.

After everyone finished laughing, Mr. Zhu went on to say: "I see that you can't read much about these materials, so let's explain in more detail next. Let everyone understand what's going on, everyone Ah, if you don’t understand anything, you can point it out.”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Mr. Zhu continued: "Okay, the question about Xiao Chen is this, that is, this supercomputer technology is not permanent. It doesn't just need to be researched and developed, it needs constant research and development. optimized and upgraded to make it reach a new computing speed. In fact, our supercomputer 'Dao' was not the fastest computing computer in the world when it was developed, and in some technical indicators, our There is still a certain distance from other supercomputers in the world. Therefore, after the supercomputer "Dao" was successfully developed, we did not give up the work in this area, but carried out more in-depth research on this basis with the support of Xiao Jiang .And our new goal is to take another leap forward on the basis of this supercomputer, so as to be able to create a new generation of billions of supercomputers. Our initial goal is its floating point The calculation speed can reach 50 billion times per second, thus entering the forefront of the world's supercomputer development team."

"50 billion times per second, this is too exaggerated, so we can't get the first place?" Fatty couldn't believe it.

Mr. Zhu and Mr. Ma looked at each other, Mr. Ma shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We are still a long way from being the leader. Just this year, the latest generation supercomputers of Waguo and Laomei have been developed one after another. Among them, Waguo The supercomputer Fujitsu Numerical Wind Tunnel of Aerospace Laboratory has a floating-point calculation speed of 124.5 billion times per second. The floating-point calculation speed of IntelParagonXP/S140 developed by a national laboratory in the United States can reach a terrifying 143.4 billion times times per second. So compared to them, we are still far behind."

Hearing Mr. Ma's frustrated words, Jiang Chen smiled and comforted him: "Mr. Ma, we don't need to compare with them. They are all public laboratories, backed by the support of the entire country's technology and talents. And we just It is a company laboratory, and the resources it can provide are very limited, no matter how good it is, it cannot compare to others."

Ma Lao shook his head and said: "This is different. Although resources are very important in the research and development of science and technology, talents are the key to all of this. If you are not as good as people, you are not as good as people. Don't make these excuses."

"Haha, don't worry, the old horse is holding back a ruthless move." Zhu boss laughed.

Hmph, Mr. Ma glanced at Mr. Zhu and said to Jiang Chen and the others, "Just watch, we will definitely catch up to them, or even surpass them in a short time."

"Hehe, we believe it." Jiang Chen and the others responded with a smile.

Seeing that Jiang Chen and the others nodded in confidence, Ma Lao breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The reason why the two supercomputers of Lao Mei and Wa are so fast is mainly because of the breakthrough of Lao Mei's computer chip technology. Wa country is just a ride this time. In this computer chip, especially this kind of high-speed chip, Laomei has strict external control. And because we are one of the key targets of Laomei's strict defense, so like We have no way to obtain this kind of chip, and what we can obtain at present are only some civilian-grade chips. If we can solve this problem, then our computer technology will develop very fast."

"In this regard, our fab has already been put into production, and the research and development of our own chip has already been carried out. I believe that it will not be long before we will definitely manufacture our own chip." Jiang Chen said with a smile .

"The research and development of the chip is so difficult. I just hope that our old guys can afford it." Ma Lao shook his head and sighed.

At this time, Lin Xiaonan comforted: "Teacher, don't worry, our chip research and development work has achieved very good results. I believe that we will be able to produce our own chip in a short time."

"I hope so." Ma Lao nodded.

As for Lin Xiaonan, she turned to Jiang Chen and said, "I will report to you later on this matter."

Jiang Chen nodded, and then asked Mr. Zhu, "Mr. Zhu, when is it estimated that we will be able to develop and manufacture this supercomputer?"

Mr. Zhu thought for a while after hearing this, and then said: "After sufficient preparations in the early stage, we are now conducting the demonstration work of the relevant overall design plan. If everything goes well, it will be almost next winter, and the new supercomputer will be launched soon. can be developed."

Jiang Chen nodded, and then continued to ask: "Then during the development process, will it affect the supercomputer we are currently running? After all, we need this supercomputer to assist in the progress of various projects now. .If it stops, I am afraid it will affect the progress of many projects.”

Ma Lao shook his head and said: "Don't worry, our related research and development work will not affect the operation of this supercomputer. Of course, in the process of developing a new supercomputer, we need to calculate and analyze some data. Verification will take up some resources of this computer. It may reduce the calculation applications of some other units at that time, but it will not have any impact on our company's internal calculation requirements."

"Oh, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. As for external orders, if you need them, you can temporarily stop them. Anyway, we don't care about such a small amount of money." Jiang Chen nodded.
