Chapter 430 Supercomputer Center?

It's already this time." Catherine looked at the time. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon.

Because she was doing Internet advertising, Catherine was dizzy during this period.

"But it's almost done, but I'm so busy looking for trouble... I'm really tired."

When I started my business in the past, I was very passionate about doing so, but now I feel a little bit pained.

Catherine now wants to turn the wheel of history to the other side. Simply making money is not so important to herself. But it can't be done without money! As the saying goes: "Money is not everything; but

Without money, it is absolutely impossible."

This is the situation Catherine is facing now.

With money, she can invest everywhere. With enough financial support, Catherine had the confidence to let people use Core i7 quad-core in the 1990s.

"Kate, there is a letter for you.

"Um?"

Letter? Catherine was a little strange. Her friends all preferred to communicate by phone, and it was really hard to see the person who wrote the letter.

Look at the signature: Clough.

I don’t know this person at all!

"Let me take a look"

Catherine opened the envelope and began to read the contents of the letter.

"Is this finite element analysis?"

This professor named Clough proposed a concept of finite element calculation in structural mechanics, but he found that in many cases, it is impossible for such calculations to be completed manually because it would take a long time.

If it is not done by professionals.

It may be difficult to understand finite element analysis.

At this time, Clough noticed the computer.

He suddenly discovered that using a computer to perform finite element analysis seemed to be a good choice. He hoped that Microsoft could develop a software for performing finite element analysis.

The so-called finite element analysis is to use mathematical approximation methods to simulate real physical systems (geometry and load conditions). It also uses simple and interacting elements to delete the units and use a limited number of unknown quantities to solve the problem.

A real system approaching infinite unknown quantities.

To put it simply, finite element analysis is to replace complex problems with simpler ones and then solve them.

Finite elements are those discrete elements that can be combined to represent an actual continuous domain. The concept of finite elements has been produced and applied centuries ago. For example, polygons (finite linear elements) are used to approximate a circle to obtain the shape of a circle.

Perimeter, but being proposed as a method is something in the future.

It seems impossible to do finite element analysis, especially some more complex finite element analysis, with manual labor.

Just like in the novel, it is absolutely impossible for a graduate student who has only been exposed to machinery for a short time to process special-shaped surfaces by pure manual methods. If mechanical processing is really possible, it can be done by finite element analysis.

Simple, Catherine can now

Let people use Pentium 4. And in reality, it is unlikely that there will be a beautiful woman who starts to learn welding at the age of five, and then welds every day, day, and night, and is still as beautiful as a flower when she is twenty... A welder

It is very harmful to the body, so the salary for this type of worker is relatively high.

Of course, a novel is a novel after all.

In the real world, it is impossible for people to sit on machines and gamble their lives.

"If he wants to do it, let him do it, but it would be nice to be able to achieve something. But how could he think of writing to me?"

Catherine has actually always had the idea to let mathematicians start promoting computers, but she suffers from the poor computing power of current microcomputers.

She planned to wait until the Urbit computer was launched and then decide what to do based on the situation.

"But judging from the current situation, it seems impossible to do finite element analysis, right?" The performance of current computers is simply not enough. Should we use supercomputers to calculate this thing?

In fact, finite element analysis will be very common in the future. Software such as autoca, for example, integrates this function.

"He has already approached Microsoft, but Microsoft said it could do nothing, so he approached you, Kate." Elsa turned to a previous record.

One of Catherine's requirements for the company is to have a good attitude. She should have a friendly attitude towards customers. Even if it is a letter, she must respond politely.

"He probably thought that the other party was perfunctory with him, so he sent a letter to meet me..."

It's not that Microsoft is perfunctory, it's that they really can't do it.

Well, even if they could do it, it would probably be just perfunctory unless there was enough profit.

"Then let the other party do it on his own. Wouldn't it be better to provide him with a platform? It's just a computer anyway."

"No, it's really impossible...unless it's a supercomputer, but which university has a supercomputer center that can help...etc."

It seems that there is no university supercomputer center yet, right?

Catherine suddenly thought of a question.

Supercomputing represents the highest level of contemporary information technology and is an important symbol of a country's scientific and technological strength. With economic and social development, there is an increasing demand for high-performance computing in various fields.

The bigger.

Because of this.

There is an interesting computer center in China, and the schedule is always full.

At this time, Anselin thought of an organization---NCSancsa, which is the National Center for Super Computer Applications. It is one of the five earliest centers established by the National Science Foundation in accordance with its supercomputer center plan. It is the University of Illinois

Part of the University of Champaign. National Center for Supercomputer Applications and other universities, colleges, government

Agencies, private companies, communities and schools collaborate to discover virtual information infrastructure that can benefit these institutions. It receives funding from the National Science Foundation, the State of Illinois, the University of Illinois, industry and other federal agencies. Broadly speaking, the state

The Supercomputer Application Center has the task of providing virtual information resources, setting up virtual information environments and improving computer systems.

However, this center was established in the mid-1990s and now there may not even be an idea.

In fact, there are no computer centers at all now.

And unlike China, although the United States has a "National Computer Center", it actually has nothing to do with the federal government. This is completely different from China.

"Maybe we could do this?"

Catherine suddenly came up with another good idea - sell her computing power.

In fact, Catherine had thought about this idea before, such as using the computing power of other computers. However, she had never thought about actually building such a supercomputer center.

But it seems that building such a supercomputer center is also a good idea.

After all, supercomputers are very expensive, but companies sometimes need supercomputers. But sometimes the computers are not available, or the machines are only running at low load. For a capitalist, this is simply intolerable!

You know, the development of science and technology is so rapid now. The supercomputer is not a store of value, nor is it an appreciation product, but only a depreciation product. Because when new products have just appeared, or have not even appeared yet, in the world

Above, there are already better supercomputers, and my own computer was developed in less than five years.

Within a short period of time, it will become something unknown and completely lose its value as a supercomputer. How can anyone in the same 1980s think that a supercomputer in 2008 is "advanced"? Even then, there were

The floating-point computing capabilities of many single-block microcomputers' graphics cards are already comparable to some early supercomputers.

"Yes! We can build a supercomputer center!" Catherine became excited immediately.

Lin Shenhe was lying in the hospital, looking at the ceiling dully.

Originally, after the bullet was taken out, his injuries were almost healed.

But at this moment, his injury suddenly became infected and then deteriorated rapidly!

Because of this, Lin Shenhe had to stay in the hospital and receive antibiotic treatment.

“Brother, I’m here to see you!,,

Lin Shenye walked in.

"Shen Yefan..." Lin Shenhe responded weakly.

"I just met yellow people like us outside! But they are Japanese, not Hong Kong Chan..."

"Japanese?"

"Well, they are a mother and daughter. The mother's name is Mikuru, and the daughter's name is Hatsune. Hey, aren't they cute?"

Lin Shenye had studied Japanese on his own for a period of time, so he was still able to converse with Japanese people.

Your name sounds nice." Lin Shenhe looked at his sister, and then opened his head again, "Oh, I really don't know when I can be discharged from the hospital."

"When I first came here, I also asked the doctor. They said it will take about two weeks for you to be discharged from the hospital. If you take a plane, it will take another month."

Well, it seems that the plan to return to Hong Kong is far away.

But Lin Shenhe was also happy that Lu was lazy here.

Although medical expenses are a nuisance, because both the insurance company and the umbrella cover the medical expenses, there is no financial pressure. Zhanggui medical insurance is a benefit of the company.

Originally, Lin Shenhe's medical expenses for the first time he came to the hospital were borne by the government, but because this was his second hospitalization, it no longer had anything to do with the U.S. government.

"Well, I went to see Hatsune-chan. She is in the ward opposite. She is really cute." Putting down the lunch box, Lin Shenye walked out again.

"Qi?" Lin Shenhe looked at his sister blankly.

Just before coding, I have been using autocad. This software.

Until now, when I see CAD, I want to vomit.

But I still need to use CAD to draw pictures.

Life is full of countless tragedies.
