Technological Hegemony

"I protest!"

"You are interfering with academic freedom!"

"Don't bring those dirty things in politics to our academia!"

In a luxury hotel suite, Mr. David Patterson, the winner of the Turing Award and the contemporary master in the field of processor architecture, was shouting at two men in black suits.

Mr. David is an important scholar in the global computer field. It is obviously inappropriate to rashly bring such a person to the CIA office. Therefore, just like in many spy war movies, Mr. David was taken to a luxurious hotel in the city center. Hotel, and was taken care of very caringly.

There has never been an impenetrable wall in the world. Mr. David's plan to join hands with Xingchen Technology to develop RISC-V architecture processors has been exposed to the eyes of the West, so today's scene will be staged.

"I used to think that as a scholar engaged in the research of CPU infrastructure, and with a considerable social status, I should not be restricted anymore, and I could do the research I am interested in according to my inner thoughts."

Mr. David muttered, he looked up, looked at the middle-aged man in a black suit opposite the coffee table, and said with a wry smile: "Unfortunately, I was wrong, you guys have even extended your black hands to the academic world! If the RISC-V architecture CPU is completed , no matter the running speed, peak bandwidth, or logical processing unit, it will far surpass the X86 architecture and will be the strongest general-purpose processor on earth!"

"The ancient X86 architecture has dominated the desktop and server fields for decades! Back then, it did represent the highest level of technology in the world. However, the times are advancing, and the historical process has reached today. The potential of the X86 architecture is gradually exhausted. If we don't iterate as soon as possible and introduce a new architecture for the next era, X86 will hinder the progress of the entire human race!"

Mr. David said with righteous indignation, and at the same time picked up the hotel's ink pen and sticky note, quickly scribbled on it, and drew a picture of the computing unit of the Star Technology holographic imaging system.

The computing unit is in a huge cabinet, with built-in 512 top graphics cards from Nvidia, 512 fastest Intel Xeon CPUs, 512 sets of star decoders, logic algorithm chips, superimposed graphics accelerator and more.

"Have you ever seen the holographic projection system of Star Technology?" Mr. David said with a bit of envy: "I saw it in Paris, it was a dreamlike world, the stars and the sea, the magnificent space, everything Right in front of my eyes, and those are my lifelong dreams."

"If this holographic system is put into large-scale use,

It will completely change human audio-visual audio-visual, and even change the way of human cognition. However, the computing bottleneck of X86 hinders the popularization of holographic projection. The cost is too high. Star Technology has to manufacture industrial-grade image processing units to drive whole system. "

Anyone who has played games knows that if you want to run a 3A masterpiece, you have to spend money to buy a graphics card, because graphics require a lot of computing power. Both the graphics card and the CPU must have powerful computing power. If necessary, multiple lines can be parallelized. Overload acceleration and so on.

The computing power required for holographic projection is more than a thousand times higher than that of 3A masterpieces. In order to complete the image processing, Star Technology had to build an expensive graphics array.

Due to the high cost of graphics arrays, so far, holographic projection technology has only been used in the flagship stores of the three major automobile manufacturers around the world for image display.

Mr. David said impassionedly, thinking that the computing power of the X86 architecture has entered a bottleneck, which hinders Star Technology from launching black technology that changes the world.

This is not entirely true. Xingchen Technology is not short of money. Even if the cost of a graphics array is hundreds of millions, Luo Jia can completely afford it. The reason why it does not engage in large-scale popularization is because Luo Jia is a chicken thief and wants Huaxia The three major automobile manufacturers monopolize the holographic projection technology, which arouses the attention of public opinion and flirts fiercely.

After all, the automobile industry is the largest industry in the world, with an annual output value of more than ten trillion U.S. dollars. In order to help partners sell more cars and help them defeat the unprecedentedly powerful Toyota and Volkswagen, these are all necessary means.

In general, Mr. David is an idealist. He and Luo Jia have similar tastes. Luo Jia showed artificial intelligence technology, the second generation of small stars, showed holographic projection, and showed a near-perfect automatic driving system. And these systems all require massive amounts of computing power.

Therefore, Mr. David and Luo Jia hit it off and prepared to develop a more advanced RISC-V architecture, which will benefit all mankind and lead the earth into a new era of next-generation supercomputing and so on.

The official from the CIA was obviously very disgusted with the face of an intellectual like Mr. David. He unbuttoned his white shirt and waved to Mr. David to signal him to shut up.

"Show him," the official ordered.

Afterwards, a CIA agent came with a ThinkPad laptop, and Mr. David was slightly taken aback. He remembered that it should be a Chinese brand. As the country's most important tool, the CIA used a laptop made in China, which seemed inappropriate.

But Mr. David thought about it, and quickly figured it out. It is worthy of the conscience of the US emperor, and even the CIA didn't think of someone as an outsider.

Suppress and beware of Huawei because Huawei has technology, which makes North America jealous, and a certain technology that wants to have a fart, all they have is a loyalty and a global headquarters in North America.

As the ThinkPad notebook started to play the video, Mr. David's expression quickly froze, from anger to shock, and then from shock to frustration. By the end of the video, his face was ashen, like a dumb gargoyle .

snap~

The official gently closed the laptop, coughed twice on purpose, "Don't worry, you should think about it again."

"Don't think about it anymore." Mr. David quickly replied, he lowered his head, his eyes were no longer as sharp as before, "I really never thought that the dignified CIA would threaten my daughter..."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will terminate the cooperation with Xingchen Technology, so you should be satisfied."

There was no anger in the voice, it was more like resignation.

Human beings are not born perfect, and everyone has weaknesses. Mr. David's weakness is his only daughter, the single mother who was abandoned by a scumbag and raised her seven-year-old son alone.

Although in North America, the divorce rate has already exceeded 50%, and single mothers are very common, Mr. David still has deep self-blame. If he hadn't been obsessed with work and neglected education, his daughter might not have been raped by that scumbag. Men seduce it.

The video the CIA showed Mr. David was simple. His daughter was shopping in the supermarket with the children. They bought a box of frozen Alaskan white shrimp, a can of maple syrup, and a ten-pound bag of dog food for the family. A golden retriever, a big bag of 50% off toilet paper...

The camera clearly follows David's daughter's family. If this is not a threat, even a fool would not believe it.

The official looked at Mr. David with satisfaction, then shook his head slightly and said, "No, you don't need to terminate the cooperation with Xingchen Technology."

Mr. David was stunned for a moment, showing a confused expression, "Don't you lock me here just to prevent Xingchen Technology from developing its own CPU architecture and instruction set!?"

The official chuckled, "It would be too cheap for those Chinese people to just stop them. This is a war without gunpowder. Our goal is to completely wipe out those damn Chinese people from spirit to body!"

"Not only can you not quit, but you have to spare no effort to help them complete the architecture design. The computer experts from the CIA will assist you in the background. You must turn the independent CPU of Xingchen Technology into a time bomb!"

"Then, I'm going to humiliate them!"

"They need to spend astronomical research and development funds, use tens of thousands of semiconductor engineers, and finally, only develop a piece of garbage that is ridiculed by the whole world!"

Hahaha~

The officials laughed happily. For Xingchen Technology, time is the most precious thing. After painstaking research and development, they only got a piece of garbage in the end. The pride of the tough guys will follow the implementation of this sinister plan. and cease to exist.

"You... you are so vicious..." Mr. David said in shock.
