Chapter 337 T Soulder, Thunder Graphics Card

"Um...Okay, the specific time..." Puzo looked at the calendar: "It will be 9 a.m. next Monday. I will wait for you here."

The 47-year-old Puzo can be considered a best-selling novelist. He was born in an Italian immigrant family in the West Side of Manhattan, New York. He lived in poverty when he was young, but he loved reading since he was a child. In his youth, he was fascinated by the great Russian writer Dostoyevsky.

He was particularly interested in his works and determined to become a writer. During World War II, he left home to join the army and went to the European battlefield. During the war, he collected a lot of writing materials. After the war, he studied sociology at Columbia University in New York and began writing.

Career. Puzo's first two works "On the Dark Stage" and "The Lucky Pilgrim" both ended in failure, but Puzo was not discouraged and continued to write. After more than ten years of hard work, he finally wrote

Got this copy of "The Godfather".

Putting down the phone, Puzo still felt flattered.

The caller was from DreamWorks.

They actually fell in love with their own novel and asked for the right to adapt it!

To be honest, although the sales of "The Godfather" seemed to be good, Puzo never thought that his novel could be adapted into a movie.

But Puzo quickly realized that he wanted to become a great writer, and the fact that his novel could be adapted also proved his strength. But if he was satisfied with this, he would be able to achieve this step.

It's the limit.

He has made an appointment with DreamWorks to purchase the script rights and adapt matters and issues next week.

To be honest, the reason why Puzo was able to write "The Godfather" was also because of "Wasteland".

Most people can see that this movie is "cool", but what Puzo sees is the cruelty of the film.

Although "Wasteland" is quite legendary, the lives of other people in the future setting in which it exists are tragic. "Wasteland" presents a grand world in front of everyone. Through

In the story of the protagonist, people can see exciting fights, ups and downs of the plot, and the hero's chivalrous tenderness.

However, in order to make money, DreamWorks put the "Wasteland" that had been edited for release into the VCD intact, and euphemistically called it "extended" - but used

The footage depicts another cruel world.

In the vcd extension that has been extended by more than 20 minutes, the style of "Wasteland" is also displayed.

With the fierce fighting between various forces, women may be raped anytime and anywhere... This is a world with almost no legal system...

When Puzo was 12 years old, his father abandoned the family and left his mother to raise seven children independently. His mother was very beautiful, but she was a very cold and ruthless person.

The elements of dignity and cruelty in Puzo's works are largely based on his mother. Despite his unfortunate childhood, he was still self-taught through tenacious perseverance. When he grew up, he worked at the New York Railway Terminal;

Then he joined the army and started writing.

It can be said that the plot of "Wasteland" touched something in his heart, and because of this, Puzo was able to write the current "The Godfather".

"Film shooting..."

Puzo has decided that as long as the price is not too low, he will license it to DreamWorks.

"Will Miss Edson direct it?"

He was looking forward to it, but everything would have to wait until next week to be revealed...

…

The design and demonstration of tanks is a long-term process.

Fortunately, this is the United States, not a country like China. The United States has sufficient scientific and technological reserves, and the machining accuracy of parts is also very high. Therefore, many things need to be "resolved" in China, while in the United States only

All that is needed is "appropriationism" - of course, the premise is that patent authorization is required.

If there are no accidents, the M70 series of main battle tanks will be finalized within one to two years. This is a long-term process. Even if Catherine pays attention to it every day now, it is useless, so Catherine will quickly shift her attention from that.

Come on.

However, Catherine also noticed the name "Billy Barber". Somehow, when she heard this name, she always thought of "Bibbab" and "Bibi Barb"...

Although she was a little younger and more energetic, Billy seemed to be a person worth cultivating. Although she rarely paid attention to personnel transfers, she still promoted Billy to one level and made him deputy director.

Licensing negotiations with Puzo have not yet begun, but this does not prevent Catherine from writing a play for this purpose. But the busy Catherine is destined to not have that time.

Not long after the tank problem was solved, good news came from Xunlei Laboratory - it was finally finalized.

After hearing the news, Catherine came to Xunlei Laboratory without stopping.

"Is it done yet?"

After meeting Roberts, Catherine immediately started asking questions.

"Yes...but now there is a small problem."

"What?"

"We are trying to integrate it with l's original 2D renderer, so there are still some problems in the design architecture, but the pure CUDA architecture product has been completed. We have tried to use the auxiliary Pentium computer to accelerate calculations, and the computer

The performance has increased by at least 30%, and the peak value has exceeded 50%."

It does not need to control a lot of things, so it has natural advantages in data processing. Coupled with the clever CUDA architecture, it can assist computers in performing many calculations that were previously impossible.

But it alone is not enough. It should be the core component of the graphics card. However, so far, it has not been used on the graphics card, but is simply used to enhance the computing function. According to Catherine's original idea, the computer's graphics card must also

Like other components, it is replaceable, so after the emergence of graphics cards, research on graphics cards is also necessary. After the emergence of graphics cards, I am afraid that all current graphics cards will be eliminated soon.

"What about graphics card applications?"

The development of graphics cards is necessary. Catherine does not plan to launch a Pentium computer within this year. At the same time, the Pentium computer has not been finalized, so there is still time. If there are any changes at this time, there is still time to modify it.

"We already have experimental products, but various errors always occur during testing and are very unstable. It may take several months to solve this problem. If there is something wrong with the direction of our thinking...

It may take longer."

It seems that real graphics cards will not be seen in the short term?

"Can you show me your test subject?"

"Oh, that's it."

Roberts handed Catherine a square chip that was lying next to the table.

But when Catherine looked at the chip, her expression became very wonderful - why does this thing look so similar?

This graphics card is not in the form of a chā card similar to the i-bus. Instead, it is the same, with one side smooth and the other side covered with pins...

"Why not use chā trough form?"

Catherine asked strangely.

"Well...we think that in this case, the transmission speed should be faster." Roberts explained.

At this time, Catherine really felt that she should have come here from time to time to see the development of the product.

The current graphics card is completely different from what I remembered.

"Is this really better than that?"

Catherine asked Roberts, who nodded firmly.

"What about the output interface?"

"We integrated it on the motherboard."

This is really strange.

She has never seen a graphics card like this.

Could it be that... in the future, the interface form of the graphics card will change?

It’s no longer what, what, but something like 754?478?et is the number of pins)

Catherine felt a little confused.

"Well, if this is better..."

Let Catherine think so.

"By the way, what's the name of this graphics card?"

"Our development code name...is called graphics card for now."

Catherine was a little embarrassed.

"Don't you have a louder name?"

Roberts shrugged.

"Let's call it Thunder1000!"

Catherine said so.

"In the future, new versions will be launched, namely 00, t1200, then t5500, t9900 and so on."

Catherine's naming method is modeled after HD, but it remains to be seen whether there will be another company established in this world.

And the meaning of thunder is "thunder".

Speaking of which, the naming of Catherine's "Thunder Lab" is, in a sense, a reference to the historical software of the same name, a download software also known as "Vampire Thunder".

Catherine thinks the icon of this software is good - but after 7, the company changed the icon to a hummingbird, which lost the sci-fi atmosphere of the past.

Catherine's T Soul DER graphics card uses the Thunder Labs version, which is also the version of the old Thunder download software from the 21st century.

This time it was Roberts' turn to be embarrassed. Roberts directly used the term "graphics card", while Catherine simply asked them to use the name "Thunder" from the laboratory.

But Thunder does sound good...

"Then let's call it this. Thunder Graphics Card. This name sounds cool."

Roberts agreed.

…

I believe everyone knows Thunder 5... Well, it's this icon~ I really can't figure out why it should be changed to a hummingbird...

There is one more update, please vote~
