Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia has not started his speech yet, but just wrote down the technical schematic diagram and the characteristics of the neural computing network, which has already caused a sensation in the audience. After all, most of the people present are industry experts with good eyesight, and they can see the extraordinary design of this design. place.

"Mr. Luo, are you kidding me? Breaking through the supercomputing pole and building a regional computing network is too whimsical. Can you break through the restrictions on computing management and data transmission?"

A person who looked like a professor stood up. In the capital city, if you want to say that the strongest computer information major exists, I am afraid it belongs to Turing of Peking University and Yao Qizhi of Tsinghua University. The person who asked the question is the person in charge of the Turing class of Peking University. .

The spirit of the so-called straight man of steel is to talk less nonsense, and anyone who doesn't believe it will directly smash the data in the face.

Luo Jia waved his hand, and when even some colleagues in the company presented the results of yesterday's test in the form of data to everyone present.

"What you are seeing now is our first round of test results." Luo Jia said lightly: "I need to remind everyone that the final result is not the limit, but the processor and server resources we have at hand, plus our partners. There are only so many resources in total.”

"Five... 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 billion times!"

"My God, this is exactly forty times that of Tianhe-3!"

"You mean, if you have more processors and servers, you can push the limit even higher!?"

There was an explosion at the scene. People were circulating the materials quickly, with shock in their eyes. They seemed to have suddenly forgotten the difference between the meeting room and the vegetable market, and yelled loudly regardless of their image.

Some people excitedly picked up the phone and wanted to call their teachers or colleagues to report this amazing discovery. When they found that there was no signal, they remembered that this was an important technical evaluation meeting for the national team, and the signal had been blocked long ago.

After a short period of confusion, the experts and scholars finally calmed down and looked at Luo Jia with questioning eyes, hoping that he could give an explanation.

Of course, Luo Jia explained that the difficulty of a super-large neural computing network lies in resource management. After all, there are millions of processors. How to allocate resources and bandwidth, specify the tasks to be calculated by each processor, and execute How to reorganize data after calculation has always been the most serious challenge in the scientific community.

To put it simply, the problem with supercomputers is not computing power, but management and execution. The technology from the Golden Dome is enough to solve all of these, and it controls the entire neural computing network in a more intelligent way.

Clearing his throat intentionally, Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "The progress our country has made over the years is largely due to our tradition of concentrating our efforts on major tasks, and the same is true for supercomputers. The supercomputers of Peking University and Tsinghua University have similar Is there a difference? Why should it be separated? Why can’t it form a more powerful supercomputer for students from Peking University and Tsinghua University to use together?”

"After all, the significance of supercomputing is not to play games, but to use powerful computing power to solve those really difficult explorations and calculations, such as the famous project to find aliens."

"As the first generation of distributed computing system, the project to search for aliens can be said to be very successful. As long as you download a screen saver of the project, you can use the free time of your personal computer to help the project perform calculations. Its peak computing power exceeds that of the world. The most powerful supercomputer."

"However, the cruel facts tell us that although tens of millions of users around the world have contributed their own personal computers to form an unprecedentedly powerful supercomputer, the program to find aliens has only completed about one millionth of it so far. calculation."

"The harsher truth is that with the enhancement of human beings' ability to acquire cosmic data, the total database of the search for aliens is still expanding rapidly. If there is no accident, this project will last for a long, long time. If it goes on, it may be ten thousand years, or it may be countless ten thousand years."

"It is not difficult to see from this that as long as human beings want to continue to move forward, the demand for computing power will never end.

Computing power is always the higher the better, and the neural computing network is the ultimate answer to solve the demand for computing power. "

"Now we use graphene wafers and 0.1nm laser etching technology. In the future, we have mastered more advanced quantum technology. This kind of neural computing network can still be used. It is a truly cross-age technology that can From now on, and into the long, long future.”

"I am here to make a suggestion that Huaxia should abandon the competition in the quantity of supercomputing, and instead compete in quality, concentrate on doing big things, and build a machine with a capacity large enough to be used by scientists all over the country. In the true sense, it is the mother of supercomputing! "

Having said that, everything is already very clear. The neural computing network belongs to real-time distributed computing and is the ultimate evolution of traditional distributed computing.

In the past distributed computing, the data needs to be packaged and distributed to different computing terminals. After the calculation is completed, the data package is returned to the server, re-decoded, the calculation result is verified, and finally reassembled and returned to the data body.

Anyway, the process is very long-winded. About half of the computing power is wasted in the process of non-stop subpackaging, packaging, unpacking and reorganization.

However, the neural computing network originating from the golden dome does not need subcontracting at all. All the computers entering this network are a whole. The high-speed network and real-time analysis chips make the Beijing Supercomputing Center and the Shanghai Supercomputing Center become Tightly connected like a nervous system, they do not distinguish between each other and allocate computing power on demand.

For example, Huawei's team is the hardest working, supercomputing is often at full capacity, and the computing power is not enough. At this time, the neural network will automatically allocate computing power to Huawei, and these temporarily allocated computing power may come from the center of Guangzhou not far away. , It may also come from the Lhasa Supercomputing Center thousands of kilometers away. It doesn’t matter. Anyway, after the neural network is formed, all civilian supercomputers in China will become a whole, and become a supercomputer that transcends the times and makes all scientists crazy.

This kind of big move is impossible for Xingchen Technology, and the national team must be involved, because there are too many interests to be coordinated, major supercomputing centers, provincial data centers, university data centers, and finally open up private institutions such as Alibaba Cloud .

It is impossible for a meeting like this to produce results on the spot. The national team's think tank and the higher-ups have to discuss the plan, the specific process and details. In fact, even Luo Jia doesn't know about it. After all, his current identity is just a businessman.

For the next two days, Luo Jia and An Ran were so busy that they were summoned by various big bosses in turn. He wants to coil up, even a tiger wants to lie down.

As for Luo Jia being busy, she didn't even have time to meet Ye Wuchen, that's not a problem, after all, time is like a girl's chest, even if she is born in an airport, there will always be time to squeeze.

One of Luo Jia's tenets in life is to never be a dog licker, so although he misses it a little in his heart, he will not take the initiative in action. Jia does not serve.

The affairs of the national team are always very troublesome. After several rounds of explanations with high-level executives and think tanks, Luo Jia and An Ran were exhausted and prepared to return to Shanghai. high speed rail.

Who would have expected the reply to come so quickly? As soon as the train left the capital, Professor Ouyang and Secretary Lu called him back and forth to tell him the good news that the national team plans to launch a large-scale test, but the name is not going to be called the mother of supercomputing. It's a bit low, after all, it's not an American drama, why are there so many mothers.

Kunlun, it is said that the name was decided by the top management.

The neural computing network is not a simple project. It involves the re-layout and networking of supercomputing centers in various places, so it did not catch up with the National Day gift. When the supercomputer Kunlun was officially launched for the first time, it was already mid-October.

October 11th is destined to be recorded in the annals of history forever, because it is the day when the supercomputer Kunlun first appeared in the eyes of the world.

The University of Tennessee in North America, the headquarters of the top500 supercomputers, received the news of the launch of this giant immediately. However, they were shocked by the long string of zeros in the Kunlun Peak Computing Power icon. .

"Fuck, it's fake!"

"Damn! Falsification has always been the tradition of those Chinese people. It is impossible! The peak computing power must have been reported incorrectly, at least three zeros were reported!"

"Liu Tao! You are from Huaxia, call your hometown immediately and ask them why they made such fake data? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at by their peers?"

"Shame! It's a shame to the science and technology world! It's too exaggerated, even a lunatic wouldn't dare to create such unreliable data."

The computer center at the University of Tennessee was seething, the scientists were very angry, and the consequences were serious. A Huaxia graduate student named Liu Tao also looked confused when faced with doubts from many foreigners.

Peak computing power, one trillion billion operations per second?

Before the students could open their mouths, Liu Tao blushed, because even he couldn't believe it was true, the data must have been written wrong, what kind of super calculation is this, it's obviously a monster!
