From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 391 Run the program to make Shenwei go wrong?
"Thank you."

After taking over the USB flash drive from the four intern researchers, Lin Xiao naturally wanted to thank them well. It took three days to get it done. It is conceivable that they must have spent a lot of time. After staying up all night, after all, Lin Xiao gave them a week at the beginning.

"It's nothing, Lin Shen, please be polite."

"That's right, Lin Shen, you are my idol, so I'm sure it's fine to do things for you."

"It's all small things. After all, Lin Shen deserves to be you. No matter how I look at your formulas, I can't understand what you are talking about, so I can only write out the program according to those formulas."

Naturally, these intern researchers are also young people, and they are not so reserved when talking to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao laughed, and then said: "No matter what, thank you very much."

No matter what, if you let people do things, you have to give them a little help. It is obviously not good to ask people to help you and not give them any benefits.

So Lin Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Well, since you are all researching computing materials, I will give you a special grant of 40 yuan, and the four of you can work together on a project."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the four of them were immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

Lin Xiao's words are tantamount to supporting the four intern researchers to work on their own projects, and this is obviously a great reward for the intern researchers.

Generally speaking, intern researchers can basically only follow the big cows or young cows in the research institute to do research projects. If you want to set up a research group and conduct research alone, you must either have the money to rent a laboratory to do research, or it is impossible. .

After all, intern researchers do not have the experience of doing projects alone. Before they grow into full-fledged researchers who can handle their own work, they all need to follow those seniors to do projects, get familiar with the project process, and then wait until they have the opportunity to lead projects alone. On the road of becoming a Maverick-Daniu, of course, there may be no news halfway.

But now, several of their intern researchers have the opportunity to apply for funding and set up a project independently, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for them.

"Of course, you can each share the 40 yuan research funding and study your own research. I don't hinder that. However, I think that for your research materials, although it is calculation materials, I think [-] yuan should be spent. It's a little more than enough."

"So you need to think about it. After making a decision, print out a project application form and just come to me."

"Okay, that's it, I should go too."

With that said, Lin Xiao was about to leave, and he still had to verify the program in his hand.

The excited four people came back to their senses and shouted, "Thank you Lin Shen! Goodbye Lin Shen!"

Someone even shouted in a funny way: "Congratulations to God Lin!"

Hearing this "respectful farewell", Lin Xiao shook his head with a smile, and then left here.

Giving these people 40 yuan, Lin Xiao is not worried that the money will be wasted indiscriminately. He still has confidence in the people in his research institute.

And now giving them 40 yuan is not only to thank them, but also to cultivate them, to see if they can use the 40 yuan to cultivate talents. Even if one of the four people shows enough talent, it is good matter.

As for those minutiae, it is not something that Lin Xiao needs to think about. Even if it is 40, it is nothing to him now.

No longer winning the championship, he returned to the office with the USB flash drive, and then directly entered the Sunway TaihuLight system.

Since he has an internal account, he doesn't need to queue or anything. He directly connects to the supercomputing node, and he copies the program in the U disk into it. Next, he will hand it over to the supercomputing node for calculation.

P=NP focuses on a process of solving problems in polynomial time. As for what polynomial time is, in a word, it refers to problems that can be solved in a deterministic time, that is, to verify the problem by continuously giving answers. , can be regarded as a method similar to brute force.

Through exhaustion, all problems can be solved like a monkey typewriter, it is only a matter of time.

For simple problems, it takes a relatively short time to solve this similar exhaustive method, and when this simple problem is complicated, that is, after the scale of exhaustive enumeration becomes larger, the time required The timing problem will obviously become bigger, or even impossible.

But P=NP said that it is not necessary, it can still get this result in the time of simple problems.

Of course, there are still discrepancies between this explanation and reality, at least this cannot be said to be an exhaustive list.

But no matter what, Lin Xiao's method is to make the problem of "how to unify quantum mechanics and relativity" be solved through a program within a certain period of time, just like a special value of the P=NP problem.

As for how to prove P=NP, Lin Xiaoke still has no solution.

Next, watching the program start to run, Lin Xiao could finally relax temporarily.

Although I don't know how long it will take to solve this problem, maybe tomorrow, maybe a week later, it is not impossible to wait until a year.

But at least, as far as today is concerned, it will probably not be completed.

……

In the following time, Lin Xiao went to share his good news with Witten.

Witten was very shocked, "You actually found a polynomial calculation formula that can test the unified quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Yes."

"Oh my God." Witten couldn't help but shook his head, he was very shocked by this matter, he would never have thought that the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity would actually come out of a computer program , This kind of development made him feel unexpected, like a joke.

Lin Xiao said: "Of course, maybe this calculation program will run forever. After all, no one can guarantee how long it will take to verify this problem. Maybe give me a future quantum computer?"

"I hope so," Witten said.

Suddenly he said again: "By the way, I hope to stay here for a while. Is there a problem?"

Now a month is up, and according to his original plan, he is going to leave.

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Witten planned to stay, and then he smiled and said, "Of course you are welcome, no matter how long it is."

"That's good. It seems that I can hang out in your cafeteria for a while longer."

Witten laughed, and then said: "To be honest, before I came here, I have always heard that your Huaguo Institute is not as good as our Princeton Institute for Advanced Study in terms of some systems and interpersonal relationships."

"However, now at the Dingguang Institute, I feel as if it is no different from the Institute for Advanced Study, or even better. At least in the Institute for Advanced Study, the funding problem still plagues many of our researchers, but here you are , I have seldom seen subjects that have become difficult due to funding problems in the past month, it seems that what I heard over there is all fake."

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, but did not tell the truth, after all, family ugliness should not be publicized.

Witten's feelings are entirely because this is the Dingguang Research Institute, and he is the director, while in other research institutes, the problems Witten mentioned exist a lot.

Witten didn't notice Lin Xiao's movements, and continued to talk about other things, such as what he had seen and heard in the past month, and he also commented on the food in the cafeteria. All in all, he showed great interest.

"As long as you like."

Lin Xiao said with a smile.

However, at this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

He saw that it was Wang Wenguang, director of the Xishi Supercomputing Center.

Although he was a little puzzled as to why Wang Wenguang called at this time, he answered the call without thinking too much.

But before he could speak, Wang Wenguang's anxious voice came from the opposite side: "Academician Lin, what program are you running?"

There was some anxiety in the anxious voice, but also a bit of blame.

Lin Xiao was taken aback and asked, "What happened?"

"Academician Lin, the program you run with your account has created a self-test program for several nodes of our Sunway TaihuLight. These nodes are temporarily unusable. Now the system has deleted your program. Aborted!"

Lin Xiao suddenly felt unbelievable: "What? Run my program, causing Sunway TaihuLight to go wrong?"

Is his program so awesome?
