Shenhao started after the college entrance examination

‘An Liang: I read the news on the Internet about the Shengqing Patrol Station, and also read some of the chat records. Regarding the smart city projects that everyone proposed to launch in other cities, I will give you a brief introduction to the smart city projects.’

‘An Liang: The core of the smart city project is the super artificial intelligence system’

‘An Liang: For example, the core of the Shengqing smart city project is the Zhitianming artificial intelligence system, which is responsible for all core tasks, including but not limited to controlling all networked security monitoring systems, road traffic lights, tidal lane control management, and even access The police system directly dispatches field personnel of the police system.’

‘An Liang: [Details of the human trafficking case in Dongfangyuan Community, Beiyu District, Shengqing】’

‘An Liang: Through this case, we can find that the Zhitianming artificial intelligence system directly mobilizes field personnel in the police system, so to launch a smart city project, it must have the support of the police system’

‘An Liang: In fact, the support of the police system is only one of the most basic requirements.’

‘An Liang: I just said that the core of the smart city project is the super artificial intelligence system’

‘An Liang: If the super artificial intelligence system wants to achieve the complex function of managing the entire city, it will need the support of powerful computing resources. It is just like using a computer to play large games. If the configuration is not enough, it will not be able to play at all.’

‘An Liang: There is an E-class supercomputer behind Shengqing’s smart city project. According to this year’s ranking of the world’s top 500 supercomputers, the computing power of the supercomputer behind Shengqing’s smart city project ranks first in the world.’

‘An Liang: The Aurora, the exascale supercomputer that Bald Eagle plans to put into operation this year, is also 20 percent behind the supercomputer used in the Shengqing Smart City project in terms of performance.’

‘An Liang: To add, Bald Eagle’s E-class supercomputer Aurora costs US$500 million!’

‘An Liang: The supercomputer used in the Shengqing Smart City project is more expensive. After all, most of the chips come from Bald Eagle.’

‘An Liang: In addition to being expensive, its energy consumption is also extremely high.’

‘An Liang: Everyone knows about the Tianhe-2 supercomputer, right? '

The Tianhe-2 supercomputer once ranked first among the top 500 supercomputers in the world. This news was widely reported, and the members of the Bai Yujing Club in the sky naturally knew it.

‘Li Cunyuan: I’ve heard of it’

‘Qian Xiaogang: The computing power of the Tianhe-2 supercomputer is only 339 petaflops, while the computing power of an E-class computer is basically 10 petaflops. There seems to be no comparability between the two, right?’

‘An Liang: Brother Gangzi is right. There is no comparability between the two in terms of computing power. The E-class supercomputer has completely crushed the former No. 1 in the world.’

‘An Liang: The supercomputer behind the Shengqing Smart City project has a computing power of 12 billion petaflops. It is a standard E-class supercomputer. Its computing power is more than 35 times that of Tianhe-2.’

‘An Liang: If Tianhe-2 operates at full power, the annual electricity consumption will reach 200 million kilowatt hours. Even if the cheapest residential electricity consumption is 0.5 yuan per kilowatt hour, the annual electricity bill will reach 100 million yuan.’

‘An Liang: Since the computing power of the supercomputer supporting the Shengqing Smart City project has reached 12 billion times, higher computing power means higher power consumption, even if the power consumption is reduced due to more advanced manufacturing processes and more advanced design solutions. energy consumption, but the annual energy consumption is still as high as 730 million kilowatt hours’

‘An Liang: I believe everyone can calculate how much money this electricity consumption requires.’

‘An Liang: What’s more important is that the supercomputer center not only has supercomputers, but also data storage centers, which will also consume a lot of money.’

‘An Liang: The data storage center supporting the supercomputer behind the Shengqing Smart City project cost 1.4 billion U.S. dollars. It consumes about 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in a single day, which is 36.5 million kilowatt hours a year.’

‘An Liang: The supporting facilities also include a cooling system. Supercomputers and data storage centers emit a lot of heat, so they need cooling system support.’

‘An Liang: The cooling system consumes a lot of electricity, almost 150 million kilowatt hours per year. '

Refrigerating consumes electricity. Guys who like to turn on air conditioners in summer should be very aware of this.

However, the heat emitted by the supercomputer room and data storage center is equivalent to being in summer anytime and anywhere, so it needs to be cooled at any time, which naturally consumes a lot of electricity.

‘An Liang: Even if the power consumption of other support facilities is ignored, the annual power consumption exceeds 900 million kilowatt hours, which requires at least 450 million Xia Guoyuan in electricity bills.’

‘An Liang: What’s more, there are depreciation expenses, maintenance expenses, related human resources expenses, etc. All these expenses added up, can the average city afford it? '

In short, smart city projects are very good, but they are also very expensive, and ordinary cities simply cannot afford such expenses!
