Galaxy Technology Empire

Throughout July, Huang Haojie was busy in various research institutes.

at the same time.

The preliminary design of Star Map's supercomputing chip has finally been completed.

Du Wei and Zhang Rujing are in the chip production workshop.

"Du Wei, what is the computing speed of the supercomputing chip you designed?" Zhang Rujing asked curiously.

"Single block 6 trillion times per second?"

"so tall?"

"Dr. Zhang, have you forgotten the additive effect of room temperature superconductors?"

"Oh, I was confused." Zhang Rujing patted his head.

"With the addition of room-temperature superconductors, with the same process and number of transistors, the computing speed of superconducting chips has increased by about 150 times."

This computing speed seems to be not much different from the supercomputing chips currently on the market, but if you look carefully, you can know the terrible gap.

Take Shenwei 26010, the heart of the domestically produced "Shenwei Taihu Light", as an example.

Sunway 26010 is a unique processor that adopts an on-chip integrated heterogeneous many-core architecture, an instruction set with independent intellectual property rights, and a complete supporting software ecosystem.

This unique architecture integrates 260 computing cores and billions of transistors in an area of ​​25 square centimeters, achieving a computing power of 3 trillion times per second.

The Sunway 26010 processor integrates 260 computing cores, and its peak floating-point computing speed is about the same level as Intel's Xeon Knights Landing computing chip.

However, please note that this processor has 260 cores, while Intel's Xeon Knights Landing has 72 cores.

In addition, NVIDIA's Pascal chip has a floating-point computing capability of 5 trillion operations per second.

Whether it is Shenwei 26010, Intel's Xeon, or Nvidia's Pascal chip, they all have one feature, and that is stack cores.

Of course, Sunway has recently begun designing a new generation of supercomputing chips.

The supercomputing chip designed by Star Map Company is single-core, which means that the single-core computing speed reaches 6 trillion operations per second.

If Star Map Company does the same and builds a 72-core or 260-core machine, the computing speed will be sky-high.

The key is that since a single core can do it, why should I get multi-core?

"The first batch of chips has come off the production line, and the inspection results will be out immediately." Zhang Rujing and Du Wei said.

The two came to the packaging, testing and packaging workshop.

"How?" Du Wei asked.

The workshop leader quickly came over with a report.

"The performance is amazing. The peak computing speed reaches 6.3 trillion operations per second, and the average is 6.1 trillion operations per second. The energy consumption per second per second is reduced by 167 times year-on-year. In addition, no major defects were found."

After Du Wei read the report.

"It seems that the construction of Fengdu Group's supercomputer can begin, so I would like to trouble Dr. Zhang to arrange the production of 17,000 supercomputer chips first."

"Leave it to us! Tomorrow we will hand over 17,000 supercomputing chips to Galaxy Computer Company." Zhang Rujing replied with a smile.

Galaxy Computer Company is the company responsible for building and manufacturing supercomputers.

Zhang Rujing suddenly remembered something.

"Duwei, what name do you plan to give this supercomputing chip?"

"Starlight 1 processor."

"Starlight 1 processor? Okay, I'll let the packaging workshop print the name on it."

…

In fact, Galaxy Computer Company has already established the supercomputer framework.

They prepared the supercomputer's card slot and other equipment based on Star Map's supercomputing chip design.

Everything is ready. All we need is east wind, as long as the supercomputing chip designed by Star Map Company is produced by Galaxy Semiconductor.

Then they can immediately insert the chip into the card slot and adjust it.

This supercomputer specially designed for Fengdu Group is ready for use.

July 6th.

Galaxy Semiconductor first handed over 17,000 Starlight 1 processors that had been sealed and tested to Galaxy Computer Company.

Galaxy Computer Company brought this batch of Starlight 1 processors directly to the Fengdu Group's headquarters building in Pinghe Town, Haicheng County, Shanmei.

The Fengdu Group's supercomputer center is on the fifteenth floor of their headquarters building.

"Mr. Lin, let's install the supercomputer chips and systems." An engineer from Galaxy Computer Company explained to Lin Liangshen.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's have lunch here!"

After Lin Liangshen exchanged a few words with the Galaxy Computer engineers, he arranged for his assistant to go to the computer room on their behalf.

It was chilly inside the computer room.

"Everyone, please take your place," the engineer team leader ordered.

"OK."

"Start immediately."……

More than twenty engineers began to install the Starlight 1 processor piece by piece into the card slot according to the division of labor.

Due to the powerful performance of the Starlight 1 processor, the volume of this supercomputer is only about 10 cubic meters. With other ancillary equipment, the total volume is less than 30 cubic meters.

In this computer room with an area of ​​500 square meters, it is obviously extremely small.

"Wang Group, this supercomputer is simply a work of art. With 17,000 Starlight 1 processors, it is comparable to Sunway TaihuLight, and consumes less than 5,000 kilowatt hours a day." An engineer marveled.

"What is this? We are building a large-scale supercomputer with 50 billion operations per second, which is really powerful." Another engineer replied

Team leader Wang continued to install the chip without raising his head.

"Don't chat while working, lest you damage the chip."

"Uh..." Several engineers who were chatting suddenly laughed.

Since the card slots are designed in advance, their installation is very fast.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Starlight 1 processors were installed into the card slots.

"Phew! Done!"

"Okay, get ready to install the system." Team Leader Wang patted his sore shoulders and neck.

They went to the console and inserted a special memory into it.

In an instant, a reading bar popped up on the display.

1%...5%...99%

[Whether to install], Team Leader Wang immediately clicked Yes.

The operating system of this supercomputer was developed by Zhongxing Group, and Zhong's subroutines also exist in it.

The system was quickly installed.

"Go and notify Mr. Lin that the supercomputer is ready for use."

After a while, Lin Liangshen came to the computer room with a dozen programmers.

"Team Leader Wang, is the supercomputer ready for use?"

Team leader Wang nodded: "It's ready for use. You can try it out."

"You guys give it a try." Lin Liangshen turned to the person in charge of the supercomputing center.

"Okay, Mr. Lin." The person in charge of the supercomputing center quickly got busy with a dozen programmers.

The supercomputer center of Fengdu Group is a disguised single-channel computer, which means that the supercomputing center can access the Internet, but other terminals on the Internet cannot access the supercomputing center.

In fact, it is not impossible to access, but only with Zhong’s permission can you access the supercomputing center. Without Zhong’s permission, even hackers from all over the world will not be able to break through the supercomputing center’s firewall.

The person in charge of the supercomputing center activated the information exfiltration function in the system. In an instant, the supercomputer with a computing speed of 10 billion operations per second activated 10% of the power.

Invisible instructions and information quickly spread to the Dongtang Internet.

The prices of vegetables, fruits and grains across the country were sorted out in less than ten minutes.

The multimedia projector on the side will soon generate various charts.

"Contact Green Earth Supermarkets in various places and ask them to report local vegetable and fruit prices to the head office's information collection system." Lin Liangshen told his assistant.

After a while, the supercomputing center took over the information collection system of Fengdu Group, and the programmers who were operating the system quickly compared the data collected by Green Earth Supermarket.

"Mr. Lin, it's accurate."

"Okay, now our Fengdu Group is even more powerful." Lin Liangshen was also under great pressure.

After all, among the various groups of Galaxy Technology, Fengdu Group suffered the most serious losses and was seriously hindered.

Although he knew that this was a strategic loss, he could recover his blood as soon as possible, so who wouldn't want to.
