Silicon Valley

With Henry’s illness, the world was surging, and the stock prices of listed companies under Henry’s name plummeted suddenly, which caused a series of domino reactions, leading global stockists to fall one after another!

Seven days later, news of Henry's safety awakening came out, and global stock prices slowly rebounded.

"The Wall Street Journal" wrote on the front page of the headline: "Henry Williams can't get sick, he is sick, and the whole Wall Street will shake!"

ABC TV invited two experts and professors to analyze the illness of Henry Williams. An expert and professor said solemnly: "If Henry Williams dies of illness, it will definitely trigger a world economic crisis! It will definitely!!! "

Another expert professor nodded and said: "Yes, I agree with Professor Brown very much, he said very reasonable..."

...

Henry finished reading the newspaper and then watched the news on TV. He couldn't help but shook his head speechlessly, "These newspapers or experts and professors are alarmist. I'm just sick. How can it cause such a big disturbance!"

At this moment, after receiving Henry's order, Harrison immediately sent someone to collect information on the world's most outstanding supercomputer research and development company. Afterwards, Harrison sorted out the information and sent it to Henry's e-mail.

Henry has two beautiful women to accompany each other, but he enjoys the blessing of the same people.

"Helen, bring your notebook, Harrison just sent me an email!"

"Ok……"

Henry took the notebook from Helen, turned it on, entered the e-mail, and then saw the information sent by Harrison.

""Summary of Supercomputer Company Information""

After Henry clicked on it, he browsed.

Henry browsed quickly, almost at a glance. After a minute or two, Henry read the information.

This information is the same as the content in his memory.

IBM occupies the top position, followed by HP Hewlett-Packard Company, and Cray Cray Company in third!

According to this information, Cray controlled the entire supercomputer market and occupied the top position for five years (1985-1990), but later due to IBM, HP giants also developed in this direction. By constantly annexing opponents. Seize market share. Cray was also affected by this, and its market share fell sharply!

Cray is a very powerful company in Henry's memory.

It went bankrupt in the early years and then developed. The technology is very powerful, the supercomputer developed by Cray company has more powerful performance and better energy efficiency ratio than the two companies of IBM and HP! IBM may be the company that manufactures the most supercomputers. But Cray is definitely the best company to make supercomputers!

Coincidentally, Cray once made a supercomputer called "Jaguar" Jagaur, whose name is the same as that of Atari's new 64-bit machine. From November 2009 to June 2010, it was the fastest supercomputer in the world, and was later replaced by "Tianhe One A". And in 2012. Cray made improvements on the basis of Jaguar, and once again produced the world's fastest supercomputer-Titan!

More coincidentally, Cray was eventually acquired by Silicon Graphics in 1994. Now if the acquisition of Cray company. Can it be regarded as "return to the original owner"?

Cray was overtaken in the 1990s. It was not that Cray's technology was not good. But IBM and HP are developing too fast, and both companies are rich owners. Under the frantic acquisition, the technology and the market are theirs, and Cray can only express its helplessness!

Therefore, Henry subsequently called Harrison and asked him to acquire Cray.

Harrison received Henry’s instructions and immediately initiated the acquisition of Cray. Cray is now having a very difficult time. Facing the two giants of IBM and HP, its market share plummeted to less than 10%. According to the current trend, Cray's market share will continue to decline!

Cray now urgently needs to find a solution to the current dilemma! ! !

At this time, it is undoubtedly an opportunity for Williams Electronics to throw an "olive branch" at Cray!

Since Cray can be acquired by Silicon Graphics, how can it reject Williams Electronics?

Before long, Cray said it would accept the acquisition of Williams Electronics. Williams Electronics completed the entire acquisition plan with a capital investment of only 500 million U.S. dollars.

As soon as the news broke, newspapers reported: "Cray, a very famous American supercomputer manufacturing company, has transferred to the arms of Williams Electronics and is expected to return to the top in the future!!!"

When IBM and HP received the news, they were a little shocked.

Most orders for supercomputers come from government agencies or scientific research institutions. Generally, it is easier for HP to get orders for IBM, which has a strong relationship.

But now that Cray has been merged into Williams Electronics, it's troublesome.

Williams Electronics is not a vegetarian either. His boss Henry Williams has a much closer relationship with the US government than IBM and HP are much closer to the US government. Henry Williams has many industries dealing with the government. It can be said that Henry Williams has penetrated the US government very seriously!

IBM and HP could not help but feel a deep sense of urgency, but also a sense of helplessness. Prior to this, they used the power of capital to suppress Cray. Now, I am afraid that Cray will be beaten back in the same way...

Williams Electronics has much more money than IBM and HP. Only its subsidiary Cisco has ranked first in the world by market value. As long as it is willing to support Cray, Cray will soon be able to develop.

In fact, the development of Cray is far beyond the imagination of IBM and HP...

In order to save himself, Henry will spare no effort to build the strongest supercomputer! ! !

...

...

Henry stayed in the hospital for another week, then was discharged. When he was discharged from the hospital, Henry shuddered when he saw Dean Hilton's reluctant gaze. The scientists are crazy. Dean Hilton has obviously regarded himself as his scientific research mouse...

If it weren't for your own special identity, maybe you would put it in the laboratory for slicing!

"Mr. Williams, since you insist on leaving the hospital, then I will arrange a special nurse to take care of you, how about it?"

"Stop it anymore, you know. I can't let ordinary people know about my condition!" Henry declined gently.

"It's okay. This special nurse is my granddaughter. She is 18 years old this year. She comes from a medical family and has a high level of professionalism. And she is outstanding, the most important thing. She will definitely keep a secret!" Dean Hilton leaned close to Henry and whispered. , "Furthermore. Mr. Williams, your condition needs professional care at all times..."

"Okay. It's time to work..." Henry thought about it, nodded involuntarily. Indeed, in case there is something wrong with oneself. Fortunately, there are professional nurses for emergency treatment.

Dean Hilton heard this and said happily on his face: "That's good. I will arrange for my granddaughter to come as soon as possible!"

"Yeah!" Henry responded, and then he said goodbye to Dean Hilton.

Henry got in a black Rolls-Royce extension car and quickly left the hospital. He asked the driver to drive to Williams Electronics.

now. Harrison and Cray company founder Seymour Cray and others are discussing how to build a powerful supercomputer!

When they learned that Henry was coming, Harrison and his party hurried to the door of the company to greet him.

Henry got out of the car, glanced at everyone, and saw a strange face.

Harrison pointed to Moses Cray and introduced to Henry: "Chairman, this is Dr. Moses Cray, the founder of Cray!"

"Oh, hello, Dr. Moses Clay, it's nice to meet you!" Henry laughed, reaching out and shaking hands with him.

Moses Clay quickly shook hands with Henry respectfully, and said, "Me too. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Williams!"

"Hehe, go in and talk more, don't just stand here!" Henry laughed, and walked into the company first.

Harrison, Moses Clay and others followed Henry into the company.

After a while, he came to the chairman's office.

After everyone sat down, Henry looked at Moses Clay and smiled and asked, "Dr. Moses Clay, has Harrison told you that I want to build the fastest supercomputer in the world?"

Moses Clay nodded: "I have already said that, before you come, we are talking about manufacturing solutions."

Henry only knew a little about supercomputers. He knew that supercomputers were composed of hundreds of thousands or even more processors, and were able to calculate large and complex subjects that ordinary PCs and servers could not complete. Supercomputers are not as simple as stacking a large number of CPUs, memory and other hardware. Among them, multiple "soft" and "hard" technologies such as parallel access to file systems, data partitions, non-uniform memory access models, and cooling are applied. In other words, the core technology of supercomputers is architecture!

China's Tianhe No. 1 and Tianhe No. 2 can successively rank first in the world's supercomputer rankings, which shows that China's technological level is still acceptable. However, in terms of effective calculation efficiency, it is a bit bad. However, Cray can take into account both the calculation speed and effective calculation efficiency, and its technology is very strong.

Henry did not ask about too complicated things. Although a supercomputer is not simply a stack of processors, the processor is the key to the supercomputer. Without a processor, there is no supercomputer.

Henry looked at Harrison and asked: "Has the MIPS processor been developed? If you want to build a supercomputer, it is best to use our own high-performance MIPS processor!!!"

The MISP processor is designed based on the RISC simplified instruction set. Henry knows that because the RISC instruction system is related to specific application areas, RISC machines are more suitable for special machines; CISC machines are more suitable for general-purpose machines~www.readwn.com ~ The supercomputer that Henry wants to develop will be specifically used for medical computing. It is best to use the MISP processor!

Moreover, almost all high-end servers use RISC instruction system CPUs.

It can be seen that Henry chose the MISP processor very correctly.

Harrison heard this and said to Henry: "MIPS processor development progress has reached four-fifths, and samples will be available in one month!"

Henry heard the words and nodded in satisfaction.

"But..." Harrison looked at Henry and said, "Chairman, although we have a fab that can manufacture processors, we don’t have our own packaging and testing factory. In addition, the scale of the fab will also be expanded. , We should choose a new place to build the factory!"

Henry thought for a while and asked: "Where do you think is the most suitable place to build a factory?"

"Taiwan Hsinchu Science and Technology Park!!!"
