The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 17 [Tang Xin] Array

A residential area in Binjiang, Shangdu City.

Located in a large flat on the 20th floor.

A young man was walking slowly on a treadmill by the window.

He had a Bluetooth headset on his ear and was on a call.

"...I felt that he showed some affection towards me after he mentioned my aunt."

"Really? Perhaps this is a mutual admiration between intellectuals like them who are fighting for the country. It's worthwhile for you to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to them."

"I will."

"Why didn't you directly mention investing in his company today?"

"His company has not officially opened yet, although it has already started purchasing office computers and server accessories for the computer room..."

The young man suddenly paused, as if a flash of inspiration came to his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

"what happened?"

"Oh, nothing. I seem to have overlooked something and I can't remember it for the moment."

The young man shook his head and continued:

"Although he has started to spend a lot of money, it is far from the point where he urgently needs financing. It is better to find another opportunity."

"Then doesn't your method go back to Yan Jinming's plan? Have you forgotten why your uncle chose to let you try it first instead of Yan Jinming?"

"Are you worried that if you delay for too long, other venture capitalists will take a fancy to his company?"

"Yes, you should understand that our Guan family is not the only one that has access to that information. This is secondary. What is important is that at this critical moment of transformation and upgrading, whoever seizes the opportunity will be able to survive the next storm."

"I think you can rest assured that as long as I work with his friend for a long time, he will not look for anyone else for financing unless he does not need it."

"You seem very confident. I'll wait and see."

The call is over.

Obviously the young man was Guan Shengyu whom Li Tang met today.

At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, increased the speed of the treadmill, and started running again.

In my mind, I went over the conversation I had just had with my father again.

Trying to find the ray of inspiration that was just lost.

Suddenly, he pressed the stop button of the treadmill and got off the machine.

He walked aside, picked up the phone on the table, searched for a while, and then dialed.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Mr. Yu, I'm Guan Shengyu, and I have a question for you."

"Manager Guan, please speak."

“Can commercial supercomputers be assembled by buying parts yourself, like assembling a home computer?”

“That’s not realistic!”

Yu Gong first directly rejected it, and then explained:
“Assembling a supercomputer requires tens of thousands of CPUs, terabytes of memory, and petabytes of hard disk systems.

At this time, you have to consider a series of issues such as the system bus, CPU coordination, hard disk system, etc. How can one person handle this alone?

You should know that America has banned the sale of this technology to us. Apart from the government, there is no private enterprise in China that has this technology, let alone individuals. "

"What if this person is particularly talented?" Guan Shengyu asked.

"Genius? Even a genius has to work hard. Anyway, I have never heard of anyone who can do it. Manager Guan, you are not going to meet a big scammer, right?"

"Oh, no. Ok, thank you for your help. I'll hang up now."

After quickly hanging up the phone, Guan Shengyu felt a little ashamed of his sudden whim.

He is just a genius in mathematics and physics, not a god!

……

……

In the few days before New Year's Eve, only Li Tang and Xu Cheng were busy in the new company.

Whether it is Chen Xue, Fat Liu or other newly recruited employees, they are all rushing home to celebrate the New Year.

Li Tang, who was almost regarded as a god, actually assembled a supercomputer server in the past few days.

When Xu Cheng was picking out from a pile of resumes as requested by Li Tang, he was pulled to the computer room by the excited Li Tang.

Looking at the accessories placed on the racks, I didn't know what to say for a moment. "How about it? Does it feel like there is a neatly lined army here?"

"Army?"

Xu Cheng swallowed hard and turned to look at Li Tang, whose eyes were somewhat passionate.

"Boss, I'm a little afraid to say it."

"Why? Oh, are you afraid that I'll accuse you of flattering me? It doesn't matter, I'll give you special permission to flatter me today!"

"This... I'm not trying to flatter you! Have you... really finished assembling this?"

"Yeah, don't you see those lights on? They're all running!"

“Ah?! These accessories just… work like that?”

Li Tang pointed to the middle area and explained, "Look, this area actually has a special array pattern.

I designed a new supercomputer chip array architecture, and I called it the Tangxin array! "

Xu Cheng looked at the middle piece very hard and vaguely saw that the CPU he bought was "installed" there.

He didn't understand what the [Tang Xin] array was, but he knew that it must have cost nearly 400 million dragon coins.

However, he also noticed something at this time. The entire computer room was divided up in an orderly manner by Li Tang, and the optical fiber and circuit wiring were very clean and tidy.

In some places, ground sign labels are clearly posted to make it easier for future maintenance personnel to move around.

"Boss, this is... an open server?"

"Hmm... open? You can say that, but I still like to call it the [Tangxin] array supercomputing server!"

"As expected, it was the boss who came up with the name. [Tangxin] array supercomputing server sounds awesome!" Xu Cheng gave a thumbs up decisively.

“It’s not just awesome.”

Li Tang said with some pride:
"We only used 40 computing core nodes here to achieve th of the computing power of Tianhe-, which saves a lot of money!"

"The boss is mighty!"

Li Tang glared at Xu Cheng, "You don't even have a new word for flattery. Come on, go upstairs! I'll show you!"

After saying that, he took Xu Cheng to change clothes and left the computer room.

The two returned to the 12th floor, Li Tang's office.

Turn on the office computer on the desk.

A swirling star map flashed quickly on the screen, and then the screen entered an interface.

A dialog box appears, showing:

"The boot is complete, what application do you need?"

"Connect to the server and open the computing power test software."

As Li Tang pressed the Enter key, a simple test interface immediately flashed on the screen.

Li Tang clicked the "Start Test" button.

The data on the test interface began to be filled in one by one.

Until the "Test Completed" message box pops up.

After Li Tang clicked OK, he pointed to one of the test items on the test interface:

“Look here, 0.169 PFLOPS!”

Xu Cheng didn't understand, "What does this mean?"

"This is the fastest computing speed that the supercomputer server in the computer room can achieve, that is, 169 trillion floating-point calculations per second!"

"How powerful is this?" Xu Cheng was still a little confused.

Li Tang held his forehead and sighed, "To give an example, it is equivalent to one twentieth of the speed of AlphaGo back then."

"Ha, so awesome?"

"It's just enough to make do, mainly because we don't have money right now. But my Tangxin array has an advantage, it can be hot-swapped to increase computing cores at any time.

When we have more money, we can just increase the quantity and the performance will increase exponentially."

"That's not right. How come your computer is not running and the plague is dead?"
