Blooming America

Chapter Small Computer Project

On June 7, China successfully exploded a hydrogen bomb.

It was also on this day that Catherine's family finally returned to the United States from Hong Kong...Of course, according to the doctor, Bruce would have to heal his injuries for a while if he wanted to avoid sequelae.

But returning to the United States does not mean being able to relax.

——IBm is ready to enter Japan.

So, as soon as Catherine returned to California, she started a meeting.

In terms of the grand strategy, Catherine's aRk company first needs to popularize the 6-bit machine, and then take the lead in developing the model, so that it is most beneficial to him.

In terms of tactics, Catherine has to use means to make IBm's 6-bit machine a ridiculous thing.

"IBm is going to enter the Japanese market, guys, do you have any good ideas?"

Catherine asked first.

"IBm has sufficient funds, and it is impossible for the other party to compromise." Olsen said first: "I analyzed IBm's policies over the years, and the only way to make them succumb is to defeat them."

Catherine nodded.

Sanders proposed:

"Maybe...we can license the production of CPUs or Microsoft computers to Japan?"

Indeed, the easiest way to make IBm unable to eat is to netbsp; but Catherine is not a fool.

In terms of industrial development, the Japanese are all wild dogs and hungry wolves.

Catherine shook her head.

"If the IBm is a wolf, then the Japanese manufacturer is a group of locusts. Although the wolves are fierce, the locusts are even more terrifying."

It suddenly occurred to Catherine that someone had said this before--

"When we look at the financial statements, we think about the next quarter, but the Japanese are thinking about the next century."

The collapse of the television industry in the United States is a clear proof.

The depression of the Detroit Auto City in the United States is also a case.

In any case, this alone is not acceptable.

Sanders shrugged.

"That's right... Call Roberts over, we are going to start a new project."

As Catherine spoke, she took out the plan she had prepared.

"Our next-generation equipment, in addition to the display effect of d, we also need the system to have the display effect of d."

Catherine said so.

"D?"

The others were stunned.

"Yes, it's d."

It does not necessarily have to be a pure d, and it is completely feasible to use a d operation method similar to the d perspective-"Duke of Destruction" did it back then.

"Of course, this is not done overnight. For now, we are still focusing on d programs and games."

Catherine said.

At this time, Roberts had already arrived in the conference room.

"Roberts, tell everyone about the gpu plan"

Catherine said.

The eight rebels that Roberts is currently studying are GPUs.

"The so-called gpu is a graphics processor. This is a processing device that uses floating-point operations. It is different from the cpu. When designing a graphics processor, the technology is not difficult. The difficulty lies in how to establish a suitable floating-point operation. Structure."

"Yes." Catherine added, "This graphics core is excellent for image processing. If it is integrated into the cpu, we can also make our pictures better."

"Is it just for the d effect? ​​But the gpu should be more useful?"

Sanders seems to be very interested in GPUs.

"Of course, GPU is a graphics computing engine, but we can use it in computing, we can fully use our technology, so as to enable GPU to assist netbsp; in history, the later exhibition of GPU than CPU technology higher .Now, GPU has been developed in advance, so at least for a period of time, cpu will lag behind the development of gpu, and at this time, you can completely open gpu.

——In fact, if it weren’t for the patent of Pper’s programmable back-end that was registered by Nintendo, another method would have to be used to achieve programmable sampling. GPU and graphics card exhibitions would be faster.

"But the two technologies are completely different, can we really achieve it..." Roberts was a little strange, but it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, "No, we can add some instructions in the gpu, and then in our program , Setting up some programs that can allow GPU-assisted calculations. Not only that, the performance of machines with GPU-assisted calculations is even better than using dual CPUs... But in this case, won't our programs be very large?"

The other party deserves to be the founder of Inte1 in history, and he saw the future of gpu all at once.

"Yes, but in the next generation of our programs, we will fully adopt CD-ROM devices. In this way, our programs can reach up to mB of storage capacity. If this is the case, will our space still be insufficient?"

Catherine stood up and continued: "This technology, I call it ed-e-ture. We must open this technology to third-party vendors."

"Open to third parties? Is it necessary?"

Sanders asked.

"Yes, in this way, it can increase the third party's dependence on us. Only our computer can have enough performance, and IBm can't do it at this time. We can authorize the production of cpu, but within a period of time, We will not open up the GPU technology...Of course, when we have achieved sufficient technical advantages, we will also open up the GPU market."

Catherine said so.

After forming a technological advantage, he was invincible, and he opened the hardware market and became a third party to win over.

——Of course, sometimes, it makes some manufacturers feel bad.

Now Fairchild has no eight rebellions, and the company is still profitable, but the building has become shaky.

"The only problem now is... the funding." Roberts said.

"This is not a problem." Catherine said.

"But how do we recover the cost?" Olsen asked: "This is a new thing. We don't know the risks. If it fails..."

"Yes." Sanders also has some concerns, although he seems to be very interested in this thing, "The price of our Microsoft computer is not very high, but if we sell too high in the next generation of computers, This is not good for us."

"We can separate ordinary users from ordinary users."

Catherine said.

"Business users will need more stable and faster computing devices. GPUs will take the high-end route first, and then gradually expand to the low-end market."

"This device will not be used on the 6-bit machine first, but on the minicomputer. Olsen, Roberts, next, it depends on your cooperation."

Minicomputers are Olsen's reserved items, and there is no big problem in this regard.

"Our main goal this time should be focused on those universities and professors. I think they will definitely want such a ‘cute’ machine."

IBm has used portable computers in the ages, and its main target is this group of people, and it has achieved success.

By doing this, Catherine is also starting to dig a hole in the future of IBm.

Catherine laughed without feeling it.

This trick is pretty good, really.

"We can start cooperation with Stanford University first."

After all, I have cooperated with Stanford University many times, and the atmosphere between the two parties is very good.

And relative to this society, the atmosphere of the university is still very pure.

"This may be good, and in terms of minicomputers, our price can also be increased, so that it will be more conducive to our return." Olsen said.

Minicomputers are somewhat different from microcomputers. Small profits but quick turnover are not feasible-after all, this is not a product that everyone needs.

"This kind of minicomputer that uses GPU, we named it the T series... how about it?"

Catherine thought the Terminator seemed good.

"Uh... Maybe you should start from scratch? For example, T?"

"Maybe." Catherine shrugged.

When the meeting was over, Catherine returned to her office, turned on the long-lost computer, and then entered the chat room. As soon as she came in, she saw someone howling.

Immortal Gregory: Oh, my God, I finally finished drawing the world map...

Aikur: Congratulations, but unfortunately I can't see it.

Angela: It's really good.

Immortal Gregory: Oh, it's been a long time, thank you so much. Without you, I don't know when this magical world will be completed.

Angela: It's been a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Actually it's nothing, I just find it interesting.

Immortal Gregory: The profession has been set, and now I am designing attributes and battle procedures, oh, I really hope to be able to complete it before graduation next year.

Aikul: Then come on. Maybe I can go to Stanford after some time, maybe we design together, the degree will be faster?

Immortal Gregory: Oh really? This is awesome

Angela: I think you can talk privately.

Catherine's current chat room has provided a private chat program, but it can't record chat history or anything, only real-time chat.

Coming out of the chat room, Catherine smiled.

Maybe next year, I will be able to see the first tour in this world?

Turning off the computer, Catherine took out the piece and began to look at it. The future work still needs to be done...
