Technology Bigshot

Chapter 41: Sakura settles in

No matter how hot the outside world is, and no matter how much influence XlouS has on the outside world, at this moment on Hainan Island in southern China, everything is running continuously at the XlouS headquarters.

Today, large trucks are lined up in a line, as if a steady stream of trucks are driving into the headquarters of XlouS.

Since XlouS announced on the day of the conference that it would spend 6 billion to build its own supercomputer, the head of Intel in Greater China came to the company's headquarters the next day.

Obviously, this is a large order of nearly $1 billion. After a day-long negotiation, the contract was finally signed.

If this had been three years ago, the deal would have been difficult to carry out. Because three years ago, the U.S. government banned domestic companies from exporting technology to domestic facilities related to the world's fastest supercomputer "Tianhe 2". This policy ban caused Intel and other U.S. hardware suppliers at the time. Not a small blow, Greater China is a huge market, which has once again caused a technology dispute between China and the United States.

The United States implemented this decree on the grounds that "Tianhe-2" and "Tianhe-1" were "manifestly used in nuclear explosion activities", but this is simply a false excuse.

However, with the passage of time, although supercomputers have potential military applications, the US government has rarely or even allowed relevant domestic companies to impose export restrictions on supercomputer-related technologies. For no other reason, most of the supercomputer systems Components are readily available around the world, and the transport of these products is difficult to restrict, so the ban will eventually come to an end.

It is very rare for an enterprise company, especially a private company, to invest so much to set up a supercomputer, but for XlouS, it is imperative to own a supercomputer of its own. For the research and development of new products alone, the company has almost contracted it in the past two years. "Tianhe No. 2" shows how huge XlouS's demand for supercomputing is.

Apart from that, another important reason is. "Xiao Ying" must also have her own home. Ren Hong obviously can't let "her" stay in the "Titan" supercomputer all the time. Before, she was incapable, but now it is different. And, with the official completion of her own supercomputer headquarters, "Sakura" will also begin to play "her" incomparable role. In the future, "Sakura" will become the invisible steward of the entire XlouS company, so that Ren Hong can grasp the exact information of the company at any time, ensure absolute control over the company, and prevent the company's technology leaks and commercial espionage. It will also have an irreplaceable role. You must know that every technology of the company has spent sky-high R\u0026D investment. Once stolen, it will undoubtedly be an incalculable loss for the company, which Ren Hong cannot tolerate.

The company's supercomputer will be named after the "l"-shaped building, and the supercomputer "l" will also be built in this building and become an exclusive area, where there is only supercomputing! The entire building has 130 floors, and it looks like more components will be added in the future.

The supercomputer "l" will consist of 40,000 nodes, each with 2 Xeon-E6-3296 based on the new Lvy.Bridge-E Xeon-E6-3296 microprocessors and 3 Xeon-Phi, with a total of 80,000 microprocessors and 100,000 Xeon-Phis, totaling 7.25 million computing cores.

The basic data of the supercomputing "l" is almost twice that of Tianhe-2. It is obvious that the supercomputing "l" will win the global supercomputer ranking in one fell swoop, whether it is the peak computing speed or the continuous computing speed. top position.

Two months later, the supercomputing "l" was finally established, and XlouS finally had its own supercomputer. On this day, Ren Hong was in the "l"-shaped building, and now, the "l" supercomputing will begin for the first time. Do a computational test.

"Chairman, the results are out!" The staff reported excitedly: "The peak calculation speed is 1.276 billion times per second, the continuous calculation speed is 869 billion times per second, and the double-precision floating-point operation performance is excellent. Our The supercomputer is more than twice that of Tianhe-2, making it the fastest supercomputer in the world."

Ren Hong nodded undeniably, and said, "These data are all false. It is very simple for the United States to build a supercomputer with more powerful computing, but it is not necessary. You think the company will have hundreds of millions of dollars every year in the future. Maintenance costs are not money? But the company can still support this amount of money. In the future, we will use supercomputers in too many places. In the future, all employees of the company can apply for the use of supercomputing "l". Some things are better at home. Not surprisingly, the supercomputing "l" may be expanded, but it is sufficient for now."

"The chairman said yes, but in any case, this is also a proud statistic." The staff member smiled and said.

"That's right, then find a chance to see when you are going to announce it, and decide for yourself." Ren Hong said with a smile.

It was time to get off work, but Ren Hong didn't leave. At this moment, he was alone in the supercomputer room of the "L"-shaped building. Inside, the endless component integration boxes were neatly arranged in a row. Smart device, said: "Sakura, check the whole supercomputer and get rid of all the problems."

"No problem, it's done in five minutes!" A little loli's voice suddenly came.

Ren Hong looked at these devices with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, showing a look of contempt. Obviously, he wouldn't believe that Intel didn't play tricks in it. Maybe the other party thought he was so relieved to let them form it by themselves.

Five minutes passed quickly, when Sakura's voice sounded again, "There are 837 surveillance windows hidden in different areas, but all of them are done!"

800+? When Ren Hong heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "You really care!"

"Okay Xiao Ying, are you satisfied with your new home?" Ren Hong immediately smiled, putting aside these unpleasant questions from his mind. People who don't know think he's talking to himself and going crazy.

"I finally have my new home!" Xiao Ying's excited voice came into Ren Hong's ears, and the latter smiled slightly: "Xiao Ying, prepare to connect to the company's network and monitor the flow of information in all terminal databases. From now on, you will be XlouS's. Big butler!"

"In other words, Sakura can help my brother, right?" Little Loli said in a questioning voice, looking forward to waiting emotionally.

"Of course! Xiao Ying will become brother's most powerful and irreplaceable assistant! You are the most trusted person in this world, you know!" Ren Hong said with a smile, he never regarded her as an intelligent machine Treat, but a personality with a soul.

"Great, Sakura is so happy!" An excited voice sounded.

After arranging Xiao Ying properly, Ren Hong finally fell into a boulder in his heart. He knew very well that in the future, the company would face the prying eyes of various forms of commercial spies, and it might exist outside or even inside. This was always his. His confidants are in serious trouble. If this problem is not solved one day, he will not be able to feel at ease, let alone develop some cutting-edge technologies. With Xiao Ying monitoring the operation of the entire company behind the scenes around the clock, it is different. He is very confident that anyone who enters the company will immediately enter Xiao Ying's monitoring line of sight, which is equivalent to indirectly entering his Vision, it will be difficult to steal trade secrets in XlouS.
