Military Technology

That's right, it's compound lens technology.

This technology has opened up a new field for the processing and manufacturing of complex optical lens groups, that is, it can be used to directly engrave or print various complex lenses and other optical lenses in a piece of special optical glass material. This processing and manufacturing technology not only reduces the processing difficulty and cost of these mirror groups, but also reduces the volume of these mirror groups and improves related performance.

This composite lens processing technology can not only be used in the processing and manufacturing of the core lens group related to the lithography machine, but also in the manufacture of photonic chips.

It's just that it is relatively difficult to manufacture photonic chips at present, so Wu Hao and the others first applied this technology to the core of the photonic computer, the photonic computing module.

In fact, photonic chips and photonic computers are to some extent the same in terms of structure and purpose, and are used to process data information. It's just that the photonic chip is more integrated and compact, which is equivalent to integrating a photonic computer into a small chip. This also enables a small photonic chip to achieve the computing performance of a photonic computer.

Wu Hao's super photonic computer is actually similar in structure to a supercomputer, consisting of several photon computing modules. Each computing module can be regarded as a separate photonic computer.

Each photon computing module is composed of a cuboid module of about 20CM*30cm*15cm. The entire photon operation module is divided into two parts, which are composed of the front optical operation module and the integrated circuit module. The optical computing module is made of a white translucent material as a whole, so when the photon computing module is running, the module will light up.

Each photon computing module can be regarded as a photonic computer, and then many photon computing modules form a "computing blade" group, or to be precise, a photon computing cube. Countless photonic computing cubes are connected by optical fibers to form a complex array of photonic computer clusters, which is their super photonic computer.

Everyone is looking forward to this super photonic computer. Basically everyone knows that this will be a great initiative.

So after briefly listening to some relevant introductions, everyone couldn't wait to take the elevator to the fifteenth floor.

Walking out of the elevator, in front of everyone is a relatively wide 'turn'-shaped corridor surrounding the elevator.

It is about two or three meters wide, and there is a passage extending vertically in each of the four corners of the corridor. These four extended aisles divide the remaining space into four rectangular areas. Each rectangular area is then divided into a smaller module. Each module is more like a square column, and each of these columns emits light throughout, which is very sci-fi.

Everyone was also attracted by these luminous pillars, and they couldn't help but inquire about it curiously.

Yang Fan, who has always had a weak sense of presence, finally stood up, coughed twice, and introduced to everyone: "This is the super photonic computer we developed. The pillars that glow all over the body that you see in front of you, It is the main body of our super photonic computer. There are a total of 108 columns, and each column contains a total of 4,000 photon computing modules, adding up to 432,000 photon computing modules.

The 432,000 photon computing modules can provide this super photonic computer with a peak computing speed of 607,588 TFlops, which is 6,075,880 billion operations per second. Although it is not as good as the current No. 1 supercomputer in the United States with 11 billion exascale (2024), it is already at the forefront of the supercomputer field.

More importantly, we have solved the problem of high energy consumption and heat generation of supercomputers. Our superphotonic computer consumes only one tenth of the electricity consumed by other equivalent supercomputers when it is fully loaded.

Its overall volume is much smaller than that of other supercomputers.

If we can solve the manufacturing problems of photonic chips, their energy consumption and size will be further reduced, and their computing speed will be greatly increased, surpassing the current fastest supercomputer without any problem at all.

Therefore, at the beginning of the design of our super photonic computer, we took into account the subsequent upgrade and optimization, so we adopted a modular design. This will not only facilitate future maintenance and repairs, but also replace a new generation of photonic computing modules, so that the computing speed of this super photonic computer will be raised to a higher level. "

Clap, clap... Everyone couldn't help applauding. Everyone was happy and happy from the bottom of their hearts for Yang Fan and his supercomputing research and development project team and the company to develop such a world-leading cutting-edge technology product, a super photonic computer. pride.

Accompanied by applause, Yang Fan said to Wu Hao: "Boss, this super photonic computer doesn't have a name yet, please give it a name."

"That's right, Mr. Wu, please give me a name." The other people present responded.

Even Zhang Jun smiled at Wu Hao and tried to persuade him: "Since everyone is looking forward to this, you should give it a name. It should be louder and grander. It is best, and it can also represent our national culture. .”

Hearing this, Wu Hao glanced at Zhang Jun helplessly. It was hard for him to refuse to be held up by so many people, so he looked at these glowing pillars and began to think.

It should be loud and grand, and it should also represent the cultural characteristics of our country.

To be honest, Wu Hao didn't have a clue for a while, but so many people are looking forward to it, he can't let everyone down. After racking his brains, a word finally appeared in front of him.

So he smiled at the crowd and said: "Since this is our first super photonic computer and the first super photonic computer in the world, I think it should be called 'Tao'."

"Dao?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Yes, that's right, it's 'Tao'!" Wu Hao said with a smile.

Seeing Wu Hao's confirmation, everyone couldn't help discussing in low voices, and Zhang Jun couldn't help asking him: "Haozi, is there any deep meaning in choosing this name?"

Seeing Zhang Jun's question, everyone looked at him and wanted to listen to his explanation. Seeing this, Wu Hao looked at the crowd and explained with a smile: "Dao, this word is very representative in our country's traditional culture, and from a certain point of view, it is a classic representative of our traditional culture.

And our super photonic computer is completely independently developed by us. Then we should choose a name with our own characteristics, so I thought of the word 'Tao'. I think this name should be more representative of the cultural characteristics of our entire country and nation even if it is placed internationally.
