Chapter 1397 A new generation of photonic computer technology

After visiting the server cluster, everyone couldn't wait to take the elevator to the "Tao" super photonic computer area on the top floor.

Coming out of the elevator door, looking at these white beams of light, everyone seemed to be in a science fiction world. There is a light blue halo swimming above these white beams of light, which is very dreamy.

Is this a photonic computer? Li Yahong sighed.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile: "To be precise, this is a super photonic computer. There are a total of 108 pillars here, and each pillar contains a total of 400 photon computing modules, which add up to 43,000. One thousand two hundred photon computing modules. Each photon computing module can be regarded as an independent photonic computer."

Cluster matrix structure, this is indeed your field of expertise. Brother Xiao Ma nodded and said.

"How is its computing power now?" Ma looked at these pillars, and then asked: "Currently, it ranks among the top among all supercomputers in the world.

But right now, our new generation of photonic computer technology has been developed and is currently being tested. Soon the new photon computing module will replace the existing modules, and its performance will far exceed that of all current supercomputers. "

Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help becoming interested. Everyone has been curious about this commercial super photonic computer for a long time.

How about a quantum computer? Brother Xiaoma couldn't help asking. In fact, many people will ask this question, because everyone will always compare supercomputing with quantum computers. And Wu Hao's new type of super photonic computer is often compared with quantum computers.

So when he heard this question, he was not surprised, and then shook his head with a smile: "And this is not comparable, their calculation methods are different. The calculation method of this photonic computer is actually similar to that of a classical computer. Although it can compare with the traditional The computing speed of classical computers has been improved, but it is still far behind quantum computers.

Of course, everyone knows that quantum computers also use photons for calculations. Therefore, our ultimate goal naturally hopes to develop an advanced and practical quantum computer that can be put into commercial use.

At present, we have also made very good progress in the field of quantum computer technology. I believe that in a certain period of time in the future, we will definitely be able to appear as a "king" to everyone. "

Oh, then we're really looking forward to it. Hearing his introduction, everyone nodded.

Mr. Wu, can we take a closer look at this photonic computer module? Li Yahong asked Wu Hao.

Hearing this request, everyone also looked at Wu Hao's face, which was exactly the aspiration of many people present.

How could Wu Hao not know the little things in Li Yahong's heart. They have also been working on photonic quantum computer technology,

So he obviously wanted to steal the teacher.

And these people present are all giants of Internet companies and technology companies, so they are naturally full of strong interest in this industry-leading cutting-edge technology product. Now that there is such an opportunity, how could everyone not desire it.

But how can such a cutting-edge technology be able to steal a teacher at a glance, Wu Hao couldn't help but sneered in his heart. But there was a smile on the surface, and he nodded in the eyes of everyone: "Of course, everyone, please!"

With that said, Wu Hao brought everyone in front of a luminous pillar. Only then did everyone see that there are some small gaps on the luminous columns, and these gap lines divide the columns into square modules.

Smiling at everyone, Wu Hao stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the surface of a square module.

The square module that Wu Hao clicked on immediately turned light red, and the module then slowly slid open, like a drawer.

The people present moved closer to look at it, but to everyone's disappointment, they didn't see anything special in the cube module. Apart from some conventional integrated circuits and circuits, the most interesting thing is naturally the optical computing module.

The optical computing module is white and translucent as a whole, with green light shining inside, which looks very colorful.

Looking at the eyes of everyone eager to observe, Wu Hao smiled and introduced: "Everyone, please look at this translucent device with green light, which is our optical computing module and the core of the entire photonic computer.

Because this is a prototype, it does not use a miniaturized integrated optical path, so the volume will be relatively large. And our new generation of photonic computer technology will use photonic chips. Compared with this optical computing module, the photonic chip is smaller in size, higher in integration, faster in computing speed, and more energy-saving.

Moreover, it can also greatly save space, allowing us to accommodate more photon computing modules composed of such photonic chips in the same space. In this way, the performance of the entire 'Dao' super photonic computer will be greatly improved, and the calculation speed will also increase geometrically. "

Photonic chips?

Everyone present couldn't help showing surprised expressions, and the old horse even asked: "So this photonic chip has been manufactured now?"

Wu Hao nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, we have developed a photonic chip product that can be put into practical use.

At present, in addition to continuing to test, optimize and improve this photonic chip, we have also handed it over to relevant institutes for comprehensive performance testing.

Judging from the feedback information we have received so far, all parties have given high praise to the performance of this photonic chip. "

Mr. Wu, you hid it deep enough. If we hadn't been here today, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known the news. Snow Soldier said with a little taste and a little sigh.

On the other side, Tao Zhengyang asked eagerly: "Mr. Wu, will this photonic chip be put into the market?"

Hearing this question, everyone glanced at Tao Zhengyang, then turned to look at Wu Hao. In fact, everyone understands the question Tao Zhengyang raised. After all, none of the people present could understand the troubles and difficulties brought about by the "core shortage" better than Tao Zhengyang.

In the past few years, Tao Zhengyang and the others have also made great efforts, but in the field of high-end chips, they are still blocked and suppressed by foreign countries.

And this new type of photonic chip that crossed the era naturally caught the eyes of Tao Zhengyang, Xue Bing, and Brother Xiaoma, and immediately showed great interest.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile when he heard the words: "Sorry, we don't have any plans to make it public yet."

Everyone: "..."
