Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 353: The value of supercomputers

Seeing the smug look of Selina Zhou Liang, Tang Huan smiled slightly.

You must know that Media Asia TV is closely following the forefront of world technology in hardware construction. It is all piled up with its own real money. It may not be so bold to change to another boss. After all, businessmen always want a certain put into production. Out than.

"KTVU, a TV station in Oakland, USA, wants to produce a few Chinese programs. The people behind the scenes at Xiangjiang are too busy. I plan to hire a few people from tvb." Zhou Liang Shuyi said tentatively.

"The existing balanced relationship between Media Asia TV and tvb is best not to be rashly broken." After Tang Huan said non-committal, he instructed the next stop to go to the Engineering Department.

The thoughtful Selina Zhou quickly followed and added: "In fact, they are all friends who have worked together in the past. Now they want to make a breakthrough in their careers. That's why they found me."

"Personal wishes should be respected." Tang Huan nodded slightly.

Selina Zhou, who understood Tang Huan's thoughts, smiled and continued to accompany the boss, who always likes to make problems for his subordinates, to inspect.

Tang Huan couldn’t help being a little disappointed when he found that his subordinates had arranged their work in an orderly manner. When Gein Xiangjiang was in trouble, he was not firm in his position. He wanted to find a representative fault to beat him up, but Did not catch the opportunity.

However, after walking into the warehouse on a whim, he found that it was irregular and even messy, and reminiscent of the fire in the original space-time Riyashi Building, Tang Huan finally performed a scene where thunder, rain and dew are all Jun En. .

Finally, Tang Huanyu said earnestly: “I have a plan to build a digital Chinese cultural archive in Xiangjiang through computer technology. The films in front of me are all rare materials. History is priceless. If it is in place and ruined, can your conscience live?"

After careful review by Zhou Liang Shuyi and other middle and high-level leaders. Tang Huancai waved his hand and ended the inspection with satisfaction.

The car started slowly. Tang Huan looked outside the car and couldn't help laughing. The big stage of life was full of dramas.

With emotion, he noticed that there were two girls arguing on the side of the road. After a closer look, they all knew each other. It's Hua Dan Mixue, the head of DreamWorks, and her sister Xue Li.

When I met this pair of sisters several times, it seemed that the two of them were bickering. I have to say that the relationship is quite complicated.

Tang Huan, who was feeling a bit boring in his life lately, felt a little eager in his heart, so he ordered to stop, opened the door, and walked over.

...

"I'm so old, you don't care about everything. Are you tired or annoying?" Sydney's tone was full of impatience.

"Don't think that after making a few TV shows and movies, you will thoroughly understand the entertainment industry. You are still young and you don't understand the complexity of the people in it. If you don't pay attention, girls will easily suffer." Mi Xue persuaded bitterly. .

"Here again, I can hear my ears. After entering the industry, no matter which drama I take. I have to ask for your consent. That's fine, my sister takes care of my sister. But I go to the party and have a meal together. Do you still restrict things like rice and treat me as a puppet?" Sydney retorted relentlessly.

"Why are you so ignorant, hurry home with me. You are not allowed to go anywhere." Mi Xue took her sister's arm in annoyance.

"Don't think that if you work hard to make money to subsidize your family, we owe you. Everything is subject to your arrangements. You can't interfere with my freedom and let me go." Sydney struggled angrily.

...

This 16-year-old girl is so rebellious that it makes people worry.

Tang Huangang muttered to herself, Sydney broke free from Mi Xue's hands. Stumbled and rushed towards him.

"Is this a war?" Tang Huan casually held Sydney's shoulders and let the opponent stand firm.

"I want you to take care of your business..." Seeing Tang Huan, Sydney's momentum became weak, and her tone of voice also lowered.

Obviously, this rebellious girl was still a little afraid in front of Tang Huan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I made you laugh. Sydney didn't want to go home so early. It was awkward. After we went back, it was all right." Mi Xue explained embarrassingly.

"Since I met, I'll send you off." Tang Huan said while pushing Sydney toward the door. The other party didn't dare to lose his temper anymore and obediently opened the door and got into the car.

Mi Xue sighed sadly, "I really regret letting Sydney enter the entertainment industry so early. This girl has no idea that the sky is huge, especially after getting the role in Jiahe's "Long Master", her tail is up to the sky."

"Is that the movie Cheng Long is shooting?" Tang Huan quipped, "He didn't look at your face, he gave Sydney the role."

"Nonsense, that's because I'm suitable for acting as a heroine." Sydney is like a kitten with its tail trampled on, proving her worth with her teeth and claws.

Tang Huan recalled the content of "Young Master Long" in the original time and space for a moment, and he unceremoniously commented: "Jackie Chan's current movies are all men's plays. No matter who plays the role of your vase, you can do it."

Seeing that although Sydney was staring and daring not to refute, Tang Huan's face was full of dissatisfaction, so Tang Huan soothed, "Of course, this actor needs to be pretty enough. You are suitable in this respect."

This sentence was even more shocking, and Sydney slumped in her seat, muttering bitterly, "You look down on people."

...

After seeing that everything was done in Xiangjiang, Tang Huan set off directly to Singapore to see the results of the research and development of the supercomputer.

Because it was specially arranged by Tang Huan, the time of the flight to Singapore was almost just in time for dinner. He didn't need to socialize and went straight home to rest.

Lin Fengjiao had prepared the food long ago and led a pair of twins at the dinner table, while her aunt Tang Yun was wearing reading glasses and studying the newspaper seriously.

In recent times, Tang Huan has been frequently attacked by the media, and the old lady naturally pays special attention to this aspect.

As soon as Tang Huan sat down, his aunt Tang Yun began to mutter, "You went to the mainland this time, and it went smoothly, but you are not gold, and everyone likes it. For example, there will be people who are dissatisfied on the treasure island. "

"It doesn't matter." Tang Huan replied nonchalantly, and then picked up the twin sons, "Just have a son who likes me."

The voice just fell. In the babble, a chubby little hand patted his face unceremoniously.

"Is this the boss or the second child, dare to slap me." Tang Huan looked depressed.

"Deserve it." Lin Fengjiao pursed his lips and smiled, "Who makes you confused between the older brothers and the younger ones."

Seeing Tang Huan, who was so powerful outside, was eating like this at home, her aunt Tang Yun was so pregnant, she was amused and laughed happily. I forgot my worries just now.

Tang Huan handed his son to Lin Fengjiao, while threatening in a low voice. "You have no way to teach your son, see how I punish you at night."

Lin Fengjiao gave Tang Huan a blushing face, and while his aunt Tang Yun was not paying attention, he kicked the man who made him both love and resent.

"Although I am not gold, I can give myself a value similar to gold." While eating, Tang Huan continued the topic that his aunt Tang Yun was worried about. "Moreover, there will be more and more such methods, such as those that have been ripened recently. Personal workstations, network servers and supercomputers."

Aunt Tang Yun went to university in the United States, so her knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary old women. She frowned and reminded Tang Huan, "The supercomputer you built in Singapore has won the trust and support of the prime minister and other high-level officials, but the U.S. may also pay attention to such sensitive products."

"Don't worry, I'll close my hands. The capabilities of this supercomputer. That is, the level of the 1970s. It is not too sensitive. Besides, although the supercomputer is of great strategic significance, its application fields are also limited. Only the United States Only the market over there is able to digest it, and my focus is naturally over there." Tang Huan replied confidently.

"It's good if you know it in your heart." Aunt Tang Yun nodded. Turning the conversation, he asked about the situation on the mainland, "Have you been back to your hometown to see it this time?"

"I walked it all over." Tang Huan didn't say that some places were completely unrecognizable, and the rain and wind had blown away. He just introduced some pleasing topics.

Naturally, my aunt Tang Yun was very happy to hear her, and she said hopefully: "When the babies grow up, I will find a chance to take them back to find their roots."

...

The next day, Tang Huan was at the National University of Singapore. I saw the DBS One supercomputer waiting for the acceptance ceremony.

The performance of a computer system depends on many aspects, but people try to make it as simple as possible when establishing measurement standards.

For example, for personal computers, the most familiar indicator is the clock speed of the cpu-how much mhz, while the indicator for supercomputers is -per-the number of floating point operations per second, ie.

After all, supercomputers are not accessible to everyone. Even if it is an astronomical figure in front of this unit, it is still a vague concept. It is not as perceptual and clear as a popular product—the main frequency of a personal computer.

However, the current CPUs used in personal computers, such as mainstream products commonly used in the market: Intel8086, Intel8080, Intel8080, Z80, etc., do not have a built-in floating point arithmetic unit. If you want to calculate the decimal point, you must rely on software to simulate.

Obviously, it is meaningless to talk about the number of floating-point operations per second with current personal computers.

At this stage, cpu vendors' support for floating-point operations is implemented in the form of coprocessors. For example, Intel has introduced a supporting intel8087 math coprocessor for its own intel8086.

In the original time and space, Intel started with intel80486 and integrated floating-point arithmetic functions inside the cpu.

However, compared with supercomputers of the same period, the performance of floating-point arithmetic is not enough to attract people's attention.

It wasn't until the 21st century that the main frequency of the cpu used in personal computers entered the g era, and the introduction of high-end technologies in other fields, and began to show this indicator shamelessly.

For example, the intel4ht with a main frequency of 3.6GHz has reached 7, which means that the number of floating-point operations per second is 7 billion.

The performance of smartphone processors in 2013 has also passed the threshold.

The personal computers of this period have matured in all aspects of technology, and their performance is comparable to supercomputers 15 years ago.

The history of China’s supercomputers should be counted from the Yinhe No. 1 in 1983, with a calculation speed of 100 million times per second, or 100.

After that, it stagnated, and it was not until 1994 that the Galaxy II was launched, with a calculation speed of one billion operations per second, which is the height it just reached.

This development speed lags far behind the world level of the same period. The Soviet Union reached 2.4 in 1984, and the United States reached 1.338 or 1,338 in 1997.

In 1981, this year, the world's most advanced supercomputer with computing power reached 400.

The DBS One developed by Tang Huan for Singapore has a computing power of 280, slightly surpassing the 250 level of the US cray-1 in 1976.

The cpu operating frequency of cray-1 reaches 80mhz, while DBS One uses 16 Yipeng/-s and supporting coprocessors.

Excluding the installed water cooling system, its overall power consumption is close to 200 kilowatts.

Supercomputers are a symbol of a country's national strength, which not only refers to the technological research and development capabilities, but also includes operating costs.

In the original time and space, the Tianhe-2 developed by China ~www.readwn.com~ became the fastest supercomputer in the world. When it is not running at full speed, its annual electricity cost is 100 million yuan; if it is running at full speed, it can be as high as 150 million yuan.

Therefore, although supercomputers seem to be shining and attractive, from research and development to use, or from purchase to use, a considerable amount of real money must be prepared for every link.

For DBS One, Singapore paid Tang Huan US$10 million, plus US$1 million for storage equipment.

In addition to delivering DBS One, Tang Huan also helped Singapore bring a group of technical research and development personnel.

As the first supercomputer of Fangyuan Computer, the primary purpose of DBS One is to prove that a supercomputer can be built according to Tang Huan's plan.

Although Singapore can be regarded as a guinea pig to some extent, it has now received the desired return.

Tang Huan didn't want to be the first bird, so he had enough energy. After DBS One was handed over to Singapore, they would adjust and optimize it by themselves to increase the performance to over 300. (To be continued.
