Blooming America

Early the next morning, Catherine came to the Thunder Lab.

Although I have seen supercomputers before, now, when Catherine stands in front of the "big cabinet" designed by Seymour Cray, she is still quite emotional.

At this time, Seymour Clay was still sitting on a small stool beside him, and then looked at the huge CRT screen in front of him. There were paragraphs of command lines on it, and he was constantly typing in the program to test.

"How is the system?" Catherine couldn't wait to ask as soon as she passed by.

"The preliminary test is not bad, but it is just a try. Now we are still testing the machine itself, and it is best to find some problems in advance and solve them."

If there is a problem with the hardware, it is a sad reminder.

But this may seem small.

That's good.

Things can't be done overnight. Even if one's own cloud system wants to go public, it probably won't be possible until early 1971. Of course, if the programmers are struggling to work in three shifts, it is possible to advance some time, but this is simply impossible in the United States.

"But I think I can start publicity..." Catherine thought for a while, and felt that I could still start publicity from this aspect.

Although the old computer is easy to use, as long as there is the Internet, your own cloud system is the best system to use.

, "We can start advertising in the next step"

Catherine said so.

Donald of her company is a genius in advertising. Sometimes Catherine feels that there is such a strong under her own banner. This is simply the treatment of the protagonist. Anyway, Catherine is ready to start publicity next.

Although the system does not work, can we still sell supercomputers first, "How long will it take to complete a computer test?"

Catherine asked.

"It doesn’t take too long, but it’s the first time this architecture has been used. Although the theoretical argument is completely okay, we still need to be more cautious in actual use."

, "Well" Okay, so "How much is the cost?"

, "In this, we used more than 100,000 CPU cores and 70,000 Thunder graphics cores, in addition to memory and memory, the total cost should be between 47 million and 52 million.

But in general, if such a supercomputer is mass-produced, it should not exceed 50 million. "

"It looks like it is feasible for us to bid 100 million yuan..."

Catherine was worried that the cost was too high, but it was cheating at that time.

"It looks like we use enough components." More than 170,000 cores.

Seymour, Clay really did it.

However, Catherine looked over at the supercomputer placed in front of her, and she was really moved.

, "Based on the calculation of the programmers of the cloud system" such a system, only three to four units are needed, and it can even meet all the computing needs of the entire California. "At this time, a fellow researcher next to her said to Catherine like this.

According to Catherine's plan 1, the cloud system should be based on the establishment of two or three supercomputer centers in each state, and then the computing power will cover the whole state through the Internet.

"A supercomputer like this can meet the Internet needs of about 500,000 people."

, "Well, that would be great."

The main direction of this supercomputer is the multitasking direction. If the design concept is correct, then floating-point arithmetic means nothing. The key lies in the coordination and integration of the various cores. The operating conditions of the various cores in the computer, the integration of computing resources, etc., these are the most important.

Optimistically, when the number of people meets 500,000, the price of each client is about 200-299 US dollars, and the gross profit is about 50-100 US dollars. After adding the Internet fee and the like, the fastest one It’s worth paying back in the next year. Catherine thinks it’s worth it. Don’t forget the online store policy used by Catherine’s cloud system. If users want to play games, they must purchase games online.” These are placed in Catherine’s cloud. The game Catherine in the system is charged and commissioned.

"Ah, yes." Catherine suddenly thought of another important thing.

"This supercomputer does not seem to have an official name yet?"

"There is only one R&D code name."

"Well... if that's the case" let me think about..."

Catherine decided to think of a more popular name.

Soon, she thought of a very meaningful name: "Let’s call it Yinhe."

"Although this name is a bit clichéd, it does sound very good." Elsa murmured.

, "You don't understand this." Catherine looked inscrutable. Of course Elsa didn't know. Catherine had received the most information about supercomputers in the education since she was a child, that is, "Galaxy"...

"Elsa, contact Donald for me, we should sacrifice one by one...

Catherine has already made the decision to reduce production of X. After all, if mass production, with the production capacity of Catherine's factory, it will probably be able to produce 10 such supercomputers a year. How can Catherine be satisfied like this?

Although there are not many supercomputers at present, Catherine predicted that the demand for this market will be between 80 and 120, and the capacity of 10 units is not enough.

What does a supercomputer with 1 billion floating-point operations mean?

Quite simply, this means that people can even make preliminary weather predictions, and the accuracy of the weather forecast will be greatly enhanced, especially when the weather forecast is used in the military field.

Although it is said to be a "supercomputer", in Catherine's view, such a machine is not enough to see. In the future, the graphics card used by desktop computers will reach the floating point level of "", and now it is still "" and The "" level is really not enough to see.

This is not a good eye and a low hand, but a model used by Catherine for comparison. It is really too different.

Because of this, Catherine did not expect that her product would become a sensational product.

On August 30th, Angel News Channel, Angel Entertainment TV, Angel Shopping Channel, TV, "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", "New York Tribune" and other newspapers all simultaneously published information about this one billion times. News from the research and development of the supercomputer.

Just in this broad day, it seems that this is the only hot event in the world. The news of this supercomputer is everywhere on the TV. Walking on the streets, the newspapers are also all about this supercomputer. , And people are talking about this supercomputer.

What does a billion-time supercomputer mean to people in this era?

In this generation, there are still many people who think that those supercomputers that have been able to run this report are already amazing, but Catherine has even subverted this point.

One billion times means that the previous supercomputer was thrown ten blocks away by Catherine!

But up to now, people have only regarded this matter as a piece of talk. Although supercomputers are powerful, generally speaking, it is impossible to have any contact with ordinary people.

One seems to be so.

But soon, another advertisement came over again.

"Udtem, you deserve it!"

This is the slogan of this ad.

, "For only $200, you will be able to have a computer that can log in to the Internet, play games, and play video on demand!"

It can be said that X is already a household name in the United States.

Overlord is the same.

Of course, Americans also know Xiaobawang, after all, it can be regarded as the world's first-generation home computer.

The cloud system is a big killer, an absolute big killer.

The price is not only lower than X, but also has almost all X's game library!

The only fly in the ointment is that such a machine can only play games when it has the Internet. In normal times, it has no effect at all, and at most it can only act as a TV.

But Catherine will not let go of such a good opportunity to make money. Although this product has missed the latest developer conference, it will not have an impact on the product itself.

And because the mbus game console is geared toward the higher-end game market, there will not be much impact on it.

"The Galaxy Computer will serve as the processing center of the cloud system, and each cloud system will be able to provide 500,000 people using the Internet to play games." This is the news and intelligence about this supercomputer on the "Popular Software" ~ www.wuxiaspot .com~What is the concept of ten thousand people?

A quarter of the number of people who have an Internet ID now!

"In the cloud system, we can not only experience the games on the original X game consoles, but at the same time, we can also play some games that can only rely on the Internet. For example, player-to-player battles... "

"Because the network needs to be transmitted, generally speaking, there will be small delays, but these delays will never exceed 50 milliseconds, and the user will hardly feel anything in the process of using it."

At this time, some people started to find ARK Group, and some others started to be anxious...

Today, I have been entangled with the B board. After learning B and embedded CPU, we will make myself a slap-sized motherboard and show it off everywhere. After looking at the B board, I really wish I had Catherine’s mind. English tutorial Sinai! Sinai!

Well, I was too entangled today, and there is one more to make up tomorrow @.
