Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

Zeng Xin, the former vice president of Daxia Panda Electronics Group and now the president of Cloud Nine Dragons Big Data Company, greeted Gu Qing in person.

"The experiment will start in three hours. Our company's researchers and programmers are already doing the final inspection with your company's team."

As the force on the planet that has the closest cooperation with Kyushu Technology, the Great Xia military is unable to independently produce high-performance semiconductor chips due to limited resources, but it cannot support Kyushu Technology's solid foundation.

Although Daxia's supercomputers are famous, they all use custom processors or OEM processors from foreign companies.

Gu Qing met Han Da, the person in charge of the Cloud Nine Dragons supercomputing project. This middle-aged man with a rather bookish temperament was orderly directing everyone in the supercomputing project.

In fact, Nine Dragons in the Cloud has been building a server fleet all the time. No matter when it purchased foreign servers or when Kyushu Technology entrusted Xiaxin Technology to manufacture Rocky X1, the computing power of Nine Dragons in the Cloud has been growing steadily.

However, the formation of the supercomputer this time is more for the reform of Daxia's carbon-based semiconductor industry.

Supercomputers and ordinary computers have basically the same components, but the differences in performance and scale are vast.

And supercomputing applications are not all high-level projects such as nuclear explosion algorithms and aircraft manufacturing. There are also many projects that are close to industry and life.

The carbon-based semiconductor industry has massive amounts of data to calculate, such as quantum mechanical calculations of basic properties of atoms, molecular dynamics simulations of material reaction processes, logic and operational calculations in chip design...

These complex and highly confidential problems naturally require more powerful supercomputer brains to solve them.

Cloud Nine Dragons naturally does not have the style of false reports and false reports of some companies. After the preparation work, Han Da said to Gu Qing: "Thank you very much for the structure and Bai Ze processing program you provided. Prison cattle will definitely contribute to the success of Daxia's carbon-based semiconductor industry."

Handa, as an old man in the supercomputing industry, has already told him that key core technologies cannot be obtained, purchased or negotiated. Only by holding key core technologies in our own hands can we fundamentally guarantee national economic security, national defense security and other security.

The Kowloon No. 1 supercomputer prisoner in the cloud project is a super project that makes him unable to sleep peacefully every night.

It consists of 80 honeycomb computing cabinets and 9 network cabinets.

Each computing cabinet is about the size of a domestic double-door refrigerator, except that it has a honeycomb hexagonal structure.

Open the cabinet door, and 8 supernodes composed of 32 computing plug-ins are distributed among them. Each plug-in consists of 6 computing node boards, and one computing node board contains 2 Rocky X1 processors.

The Prison Bull supercomputer has a total of 245,760 Rocky X1 processors, and it is truly domestically produced. From the chip architecture to the instruction set system, everything is independently controllable.

Looking at the clusters of supercomputing processors arranged like a hive in front of him, Gu Qing remembered a little story. With an attitude of seeking truth, he asked the industry senior beside him: "I heard that more than 30 years ago, the Americans put a When the supercomputer was sold to us, the supercomputer room was tightly wrapped with opaque glass, and technical personnel in our country were not even allowed to enter if they were not authorized?"

Facing Gu Qing's question, Han Da nodded solemnly.

He sighed and said: "Thirty years ago, we wanted to join the ranks of countries that independently designed and manufactured supercomputers, but due to the shortcomings of key components and technologies such as core processors, we could only be controlled by others.

So in the past few decades, we have learned from the pain and have been working hard in the direction of supercomputing. Even a few years ago, although the semiconductor industry was limited by patent barriers, the progress was not fast. However, the success of supercomputing projects such as Shenwei and Tianhe has put our scientific research on the fast track. "

At this point, Han Da suddenly stopped talking and said, "Get ready for the countdown!"

Gu Qing very consciously stood aside and kept quiet.

Amidst the slogans, the technical teams of technology companies in many areas of Daxia were also anxiously watching the time and confidential groups.

For example, in Xiawei's office building, Yu Chengdong is like a child who can't sit still, standing up and walking a few steps from time to time.

Mr. Ren looked at the young middle-aged man in front of him, and said, "Cheng Dong, stop shaking. Nine Dragons in the Cloud has never made a mistake for so many years."

Yu Chengdong took a deep breath. "Mr. Ren, after the establishment of the supercomputer in Nine Dragons in the Cloud is completed, our project will start to be officially promoted. Let's—"

Suddenly, He Gang, an executive of Xia Wei's company, slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "It's online!!! Hold the grass!"

"There really are them, they were actually formed successfully, and the quota will be opened soon."

"All built with a customized version of the Loki X1 processor, it is the world's first supercomputer with a peak calculation speed of more than three billion billion times, its peak calculation speed reaches 3.241 billion times per second, and the continuous calculation speed is 2.031 billion times per second times, performance per watt of 9.051 billion times per watt.

For the first time, it is open to the partners of Daxia Carbon-based Semiconductor Alliance. "

The more Hegang talked, the more excited he became, and he even clapped his hands.

Yu Chengdong heard the data from the side, and hurriedly sat down to read the group announcement.

And in this group, under the announcement issued by the official account of Nine Dragons in the Cloud, there is a series of +1 nonsense of "come on" and "well done!".

After Yu Chengdong finished reading the data of the supercomputer Prisoner Cow in Nine Dragons in the Cloud, his expression was also a little dazed.

On the other hand, Mr. Ren, who had already let go of his burden, took a sip of tea cheerfully after seeing all this.

"This young man is really good. It's true that the times make heroes, and heroes make the times. Talented people emerge from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

And at this moment, the underground supercomputing base in Nine Dragons in the Cloud.

Mr. Zeng of Nine Dragons in the Cloud, not long after he was happy, he started to work busy.

Gu Qing took one last look at the computer room of the supercomputer Prisoner, and after confirming that the preliminary idea was confirmed, he greeted Han Da, the person in charge, and left Cloud Nine Dragons.

As soon as he returned to the office of the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Community, he saw Li You walking towards him.

"Mr. Gu, if this continues, our research and development progress will come to a standstill.

The cooperation between foreign companies and domestic friends in Daxia has almost mobilized most of the backbone of our semiconductor department, and sometimes even encounters some technical problems and localization difficulties. Our R\u0026D personnel have to be the company's sales to provide They sell equipment and technology.

Although the company rewards a lot, our semiconductor department is still a department that focuses on R\u0026D and manufacturing, rather than sales and customer service. "

Facing Li You's complaint, Gu Qing shook his head.

"I know this situation, but at this stage we still need to be patient. Daxia semiconductor talents have been scoured by us and our friends, and even undergraduates have been booked.

Talent is not a crop that can be harvested three times a year. Let everyone be patient. After the end of this year, the semiconductor department will not need such a large-scale expatriation.

Li Youyou sighed quietly, but he also knew that it was true.

Although companies such as Han Xing and Nvidia have been secretly cracking the anti-cracking chip of Daxia, their anti-cracking work is really good.

Hardware locks, software locks, and original dynamic logic program locks, these anti-cracking measures made it impossible for foreign companies like Han Xing to learn anything from cracking.

It is precisely because the protection work is so good that it is now necessary to teach these poor and white companies, starting from the most basic learning step by step.

This is really embarrassing.

"By the way, the supercomputer Prisoner in Nine Dragons in the Cloud has successfully run for the first time, and some calculation projects of the carbon-based semiconductor project can be done there."

Li You's eyes lit up when he heard the news.

"Did it succeed? I just finished dealing with the issue of Han Xing in Korea. I didn't expect the progress of Nine Dragons in the Cloud to be so fast."

Regarding this, Gu Qing sighed: "After all, the people in the military are responsible."

Li You nodded, and then walked away excitedly.

And the No. 1 supercomputer prisoner cow in Nine Dragons in the Cloud is still drinking the first sip of liquid since its launch.

The sun slanted westward, returning to silence.

The pure water sponsored by Wahaha shuttled and flowed in the fleet of prison cows, taking away a lot of heat, and then went around the hot water boiler room in the Kyushu community through the cooling pipes.

Hundreds of engineers stick to their posts like soldiers, checking data, monitoring temperature changes in real time, peak adjustment, power consumption detection, and even the temperature of each connection point, which affect many people's minds.

Although Gu Qing left here, Zeng Xin also ran out to deal with business. But Han Da and a group of engineers never left half a step.

This is a war without smoke.

The announcements made in the group are just the clarion calls for a charge. Only after the calculation of the first internal project has passed the review can the real battle begin.

In their eyes, this supercomputer cluster is a weapon! It is a sword sharper than the light of Sunway Taihu Lake.

With the official operation of the calculation project, various data entered into the formula to start the calculation, and the paper data on the server became actual results one by one.

Then, Han Da and other engineers discovered an incomprehensible phenomenon.

In Prison Cow's paper data, the peak calculation speed is 3.241 billion times per second, and the continuous calculation speed is 2.031 billion times per second.

But in actual operation, the peak calculation speed of this supercomputer can reach 4.116 trillion times per second, and this peak is still jumping, and the continuous calculation speed has not been lower than 2.561 billion times per second...

What is the concept?

The Sunway Taihu Light, a great summer artifact, has a peak performance of only 1.25 billion operations per second, and a sustained performance of 930 million million operations per second.

Shenwei and Tianhe's combined computing power can't beat this cow?

And Han Da thought of more.

As the core person in charge of the prisoner cattle project, he clearly knows that prisoner cattle can grow!

The processing units built by the Rocky X1 processor can be stacked as close as a bee's honeycomb...

Peak computing power?

That thing only needs to keep stacking computer units to keep breaking through!

...

This matter is too important. In the beginning, everyone just wanted to go down the process, report it, and then everyone celebrated happily.

But when the grades came out, the top student raised by the family suddenly became a star of Wenqu, and won the first prize in the exam.

Naturally, this news cannot be treated as a normal project.

First, the department directly under the Nine Dragons in the Cloud was awakened, and then it was Mr. Zheng who was far away in the Gobi Desert of Anxi Province.

As a high-level executive who vigorously supports Nine Dragons in the Cloud, he naturally has special channels and superficial knowledge.

After knowing that the project was successful, the old man seemed to call Gu Qing casually.

"You're really nice, kid. The cattle prisoner project in Nine Dragons in the Clouds has been completed. When will Yukong come over to see the team we're working with?"

Gu Qing was woken up by the phone call, but when he saw the caller's name, he didn't mean to be angry.

After all, people of such an age are staying up late to work, so why should he be angry as a young man?

And hearing the dynamics of his own team, he became more excited.

"I'll come over when the work on the semiconductor side is over."

"Well, that's it."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zheng was so resolute and hung up the phone immediately.

Meanwhile, news is still brewing.

The success of Tianhe and Shenwei back then could easily grab all kinds of headlines, not to mention prison cows?

It's just that the information about the prisoner cattle is still in a highly confidential state, and the Daxia Carbon-based Semiconductor group is also full of "comrades" who have signed a non-disclosure agreement, so no news has been leaked.

On the way to report the news layer by layer, some departments will naturally hold expert forums to discuss the authenticity of the news and the impact of the project.

After all, supercomputing is really difficult if it is said to be difficult, but it can be relatively simple if it is simple.

Because in today's commercial economy and society, there are already mature business solutions in the world that can be "taken and used", but it is too difficult to achieve the top level and not falsely report the data.

What's more, this data called prisoner cattle super calculation is too outrageous, and it can't even lift Shenwei's head.

At this time, the benefits of Gu Qing's delegation of power to Nine Dragons in the Cloud are reflected.

The pressure from academia and related departments were all taken down by Cloud Nine Dragons. As a technical partner, he himself has a very high level of confidentiality authority, so he can naturally "sleep soundly".

But Zeng Xin, Han Da and others did not have such a comfortable life.

October 3rd.

Cloud Kowloon ushered in a group of "old scholars" and inspection teams from related departments.

Among the crowd, a young man born in the 1980s was particularly eye-catching.

As a "post-80s junior", Fu Haoheng is one of the persons in charge of Sunway TaihuLight.

He is currently the deputy director of the Daxia Supercomputing Wuxi Center, a tenured professor of the Department of Earth System Science at Aoki University, and one of the "main forces" of the expert delegation.

Facing the investigation, Han Da said frankly: "True gold is not afraid of fire, but everyone must complete the confidentiality course and sign the confidentiality agreement before entering the underground base."

Although Fu Haoheng has the arrogance of a genius, he is not some brain-dead thorn.

He nodded to the seniors behind him, and then agreed.
