Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 834: A chaos caused by the World Wide Web

PS: It is estimated that you will have to wait until the editor goes to work on Monday to deal with the issue of Chapter 0833 shielding. Please calm down.

...

The media is joking, but industry experts like Tang Huan can't really ignore the technical strength of IB in the high-end field. What's more, the blue giant has changed its procrastination style this time, and the product line layout can be described as thorough.

The /6000 with PER microprocessor is used for the server and workstation markets. The PEerer series and the PEain series have been launched respectively, and they have been extended to mobile computers and desktop computers, which have a strong tendency to counterattack the personal computer market.

As the most important core component in the computer hardware system, PER not only has the conventional design of the current RIS, but also breaks a unique skill of the philosopher Hler, which is the register renaming and chaos that is of great significance to the parallel execution of the processor. Sequence execution technology.

This limited data flow architecture calculation method was successfully introduced to the microprocessor by Zheru for the first time. Don't look at competitors like IPS, SPAR, etc., taking advantage of the RIS boom is also getting mixed up, but at such key nodes, you can only do nothing but expressions. But now, IB's PER is the first to break the monopoly of philosopher Hler.

The PER microprocessor, which IB has placed high hopes on and used as a life-saving straw, has an initial operating frequency of 20 Hz. Using it as the PU /6000, the supported memory capacity is between 8B and 128B.

In terms of software, /6000 is also an "orange outfit", and products such as IB's own operating system AIX and relational database management system B2 are available for use.

In fact, with only these two platforms, /6000 is enough to start a new round of competition with Fangyuan Server and Fangyuan Workstation in the enterprise market.

In addition, IB has also put aside its figure and joined forces in the industry, trying to find more uses for the PER structure, let alone, and soon hooked up with Apple.

After ousting Steve Jobs, Apple finally belonged to a properly operating company.

CEO John Sculley took over the marketing skills he had in Pepsi to make the product line clear.

After Jobs, Jean-Louis Gassy, ​​who took over the department A, was eventually promoted to development director. During his tenure, he continued to cancel low-end products, while raising prices, and taking the high-end route, which was in line with John Scully's ideas.

In all fairness, in the first few years of their governance, Apple's performance was remarkable, which proved to the outside world the correctness of driving out the founder of Steve Jobs.

However, the computer is not Coke anyway. No matter how well the marketing is done, it still depends on the technical prowess.

In the past two years, sales of Apple products have therefore fallen sharply.

In this way, Jean-Louis Gassy was the first to be questioned and was forced to leave this year. Michael Spindler succeeded the position of development director. Naturally, he began to reflect on Apple’s product development, and the first thing to bear was that he needed one. PU with sufficient performance.

Due to the long-term use of Motorola's 68000 series microprocessors, Apple naturally hopes that the other side will provide solutions.

In the same level of competition of the latest generation of PU, Motorola's 68040 performance surpasses Intel's Inel80486, but heat generation is a problem that cannot be ignored, and the two sides can only be considered a tie.

Therefore, Apple hopes to use the industry's unanimously optimistic RIS microprocessor to make its personal computer products worthy of the high-end route, but Motorola's RIS research and development results of 88000, performance is not satisfactory, so disappointed Apple has to give up the adoption Thoughts.

At this time, PER turned out, and it happened that Apple found a solution, and then hit it off with IB.

According to the cooperation statement between the two parties, IB will derive a type of PU suitable for personal computer hardware systems for Apple on the PER architecture.

Tang Huan, who is at the headquarters of the National Science Foundation of the United States, can't help but frown after receiving this series of news. If IB really seizes the opportunity of the Internet's rigid demand for high-end products such as servers, it may really be able to operate.

When Tang Huan visited the National Science Foundation, his lobbying effect was not very effective. Gein's funding came from Congress, and the approval of the other party would naturally be approved for commercial use. There would be more procedures to go through.

If this is the case, let it go first. Originally, this trip was just a try. Tang Huan was very patient, so he turned to pay attention to NSFNE's upcoming 45bps speed-up plan.

Gein, there will be a considerable number of new network nodes involved. For Fangyuan server, it is a very rare and valuable big purchase contract.

Unexpectedly, IB had just released its rhetoric that it would introduce PER into the supercomputer to beat RB, which had just won the world's fastest computer crown, and then took /6000 to grab the order.

This time the richest man An Sheng finally got angry. Is this taking advantage of me to leave the mainstream society for a long time, and my subordinates are more than enough to open up, so they bully the door?

You know, the number of Internet visits has doubled in less than 7 months, which is why NSFNE increases Internet speed every few years.

Although NSFNE promotes its openness and inclusiveness, it is impossible for the solutions adopted by each upgrade to have an impact on the next.

In other words, if you upgrade your orders one at a time, the more technical stickiness you will create, the greater your choice inertia, and your chances of winning new orders will also increase.

Based on these reasons, how could Tang Huan tolerate IB coming to grab food?

Previous orders for Wall Street financial system upgrades were lost if they were lost. The culprit of "Black Monday" was not so easy to recite, but NSFNE did not have similar suspicions.

When he came to New York and talked to the media about IB’s launch of PER and /6000 and other new products, Tang Huan said unceremoniously: “In addition to out-of-order execution, Hler has a lot of other exclusive technologies. Competitors are far behind."

"In addition, Zheru has set his sights on the 64-bit architecture, which is the same as the operating frequency, process and other hard indicators, and the performance improvement brought by it is not a trivial tinkering that can catch up."

After smashing the media with the future, Tang Huanshi continued to express his position on the current situation: "Fangyuan Computer Company will regain the title of the world's fastest computer. I believe that within two years, it will surpass RBNE exponentially. SX-3/44R has .2GFLPS."

The reporters quickly recorded that they didn't realize that the richest man who talked about him was no longer the chairman of the board of directors of Fangyuan Computer Company. It seemed a bit wrong to continue to speak as a spokesperson.

Feeling a faux pas, Tang Huan quickly changed the subject and said: "At this stage, the completeness of the ecosystem on the Fangyuan computer platform is the best in the industry."

"In terms of the enterprise market for emerging Web applications, the server operating system has Araspe, the database has EBase, the server has ZIS, the browser has Plesar, the development tools have the most powerful Zerne__Buier, and the latest rapid application development tools. On behalf of elphi... and so on, there is a lot. What other platform can provide such a perfect complete solution?"

After the richest man’s words were circulated by the media, it was like being thrown into a stone in a calm pond, which immediately caused a sensation in the industry. Each company compared it to determine the location of its own products.

As for the operating system, high-end UNIX and Araspe are constantly fighting, and the old UNIX has a wider range of applications. However, because of the scattered authorization, it cannot suppress the all-encompassing fist; the desktop continues to maintain a clear and distinct personal computer, IB PS/ 2 With IB-P compatible machine, Apple's A, the well water does not violate the river water.

However, Microsoft has begun to join in the excitement to announce that it will choose the opportunity to officially release ins3.0 in May this year, and vowed to guarantee that this version has a satisfactory and substantial improvement compared with previous functions.

Now, the IB-P compatible machine camp is happy. They have got the internal news and have determined that ins3.0 can help their products to be on par with Apple's A on the graphical user interface.

But the scandals constantly appearing on the IB-P compatible platform are also extremely ironic.

The previous software troika database, the market was chaotic, and the only king, Base, made a lot of money, which attracted the attention of many home workshop-style companies.

Everyone focused on this piece of fat, so they launched cloned products, such as FXBase, Arag, etc.

In addition to being 100% compatible with the original version of Base, these copycat database systems also have a unique skill, that is, they can compile database programs written by Base into executable files, which greatly improves performance.

In the process of adding new features such as these to Base and launching a counterattack, Ashton-Tate has some success, but it cannot withstand the constant loss of market share. In the end, it can only hope that the law will be the most active. FXBase dragged to court.

According to common sense, Ashton-Tate will definitely make a decision. But what is surprising is that in January of this year, the California court’s ruling not only rejected the lawsuit, but also declared the copyright of Base invalid, because it was modeled after the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s JPIS, and Ashton-Tate was in When registering Base with the National Copyright Office, this fact was deliberately concealed.

In other words, not only did Ashton-Tate fail to sue FXBase, it was a curse, but it also caused a fate that "any company can imitate Base products".

According to reliable sources, Microsoft has taken a fancy to FXBase, which has finally been whitewashed, and is preparing to take it back under its command to improve the lack of its own software products in the database layout.

Fortunately, in the relational database management system market, the battles are decent. EBase, B2, RALE, Inri, Sybase and other products have their own characteristics and are good at winning.

Programming development tools are also a situation where they do their own things. Zheru and Microsoft each focused on the Fangyuan computer and IB-P compatible computer system, but when they launched this year, they broke the barrier and supported the simultaneous development of applications running on two platforms, and even It is as simple as only one line of macro command to notify the compiler.

In addition, at the same time that Microsoft was in favor of FXBase, it also decided to buy the Base, which quickly slipped into the abyss because of losing the copyright lawsuit, so as to build the software country in their minds.

As for browsers and web servers, although many R&D teams have been attracted, including the recently joined IB, for the time being, only Zheru can come up with a mature and stable solution to put it into actual operation~www.readwn.com~ But it is precisely because of this. In this way, the competition is getting fiercer, so that the outcome is unpredictable.

In short, the companies that had been in constant friction because of commercial interests, after being attracted by the World Wide Web, became more and more commonplace in wiping out guns and fighting each other. The situation of chaos has allowed all kinds of news to be dug up all year round. The I media all feel dazzled and at a loss.

As the pioneer of the World Wide Web, Philosopher has naturally become the center of the competition whirlpool. Its products will inevitably be sliced ​​and studied by peers to transform them into their own intellectual property rights. The pressure they feel can be imagined.

Fortunately, Zheru has a big boss who has returned to take the seat himself, and his response is to take the initiative to attack and attack is the best defense. It once again released a new product.

The application field involved this time is the e-mail that has been developed and matured on the Internet for a long time, and then the most widely used, people are increasingly inseparable from the e-mail.

With the opening of the World Wide Web, the e-mail management system Zerne_Ehange_Serer_1990 and the supporting mail client Zerne_Sarail have the most powerful functions so far. The most obvious evidence is the support of related protocols such as SP and PP3. Full support. (To be continued.)
