Chapter 1357 Thirst for Computing Resources & Joint Encirclement and Suppression

The military came to inspect, or was just a major general named Li who was not sure who came to inspect the work, immediately turned his head to look at Director Huang, the 56th Institute who came together.

Director Huang immediately nodded and said, "The alpha processor used in the Shenwei-2003 supercomputer produced by our 56th Institute has been conducting full-process technical tracking. The processor used in this supercomputer is improved based on the latest alpha21264, and the production of the PU is also completed by Lianchuang Technology's own wafer factory."

With Director Huang's words, Major General Li's face was full of confusion, and then he nodded to Lin Zheng with satisfaction: "Mr. Lin, it's amazing, it's amazing."

Of course, Lin Zheng had to be humble and quickly said: "Shame, we are still the one who picked fruits. If our People's Army had not been far-sighted and bought the architecture and intellectual property rights of the alpha processor, we would have no choice. We are also planning to develop a supercomputer with the highest floating-point computing speed of 100 trillion times per second in five years based on the improved alpha21264 used in Shenwei-2003."

"100 trillion times per second?" Major General Li was shocked! After being shocked, Major General Li's first reaction was not to be excited, but to ask with a skeptical look: "Mr. Lin, are you really going to develop a supercomputer with a computing speed of more than 100 trillion times per second?"

/The fastest supercomputer in China currently runs many pieces, just over one trillion times per second.

Currently, there are only 4 supercomputers in China with the highest floating-point computing speed of over one trillion times per second, which is not counted as the threshold of over one trillion times per second. The fastest one is that the two supercomputers, Dawn 4000 and Shenteng 6800, have just been built this year and have officially implemented operation. Their computing speeds have reached 4.2 trillion times per second and 5.3 trillion times per second respectively.

Of course, this speed is nothing internationally. You can barely find a position in the top 40 supercomputers with the highest floating-point computing speed of 100 trillion times per second, then the value of scientific research or other aspects can be described by the word "huge". This is a national heavy weapon!

But for Lianchuang Technology, from 500 billion times per second to 100 trillion times per second, this is equivalent to crossing several steps in five years, which is not easy! The four major supercomputer development research centers in China have just put the development of supercomputer at a level of 2010.

"Of course it's true," Lin Zheng nodded, saying: "With the continuous development of market demand, users' demand for supercomputers' computing speed will become higher and higher. At this stage, supercomputers with a level of 100 billion times per second are the most mainstream products in the international market, but in the past few years, the computing speed of mainstream supercomputers in the international market will not be lower than 20 trillion times per second. In the future, with the development of network technology, the requirements for supercomputers' computing power will be higher. We have analyzed that it is estimated that supercomputers with a level of 10 years will appear in the past. It's not okay to not refuel."

Major General Li was dumbfounded when he heard this: The computing speed reached tens of trillions of times per second supercomputers?

He also has a good understanding of supercomputers and is very clear about how much effect a supercomputer that reaches 100 billion times per second will have on the national economy and people's livelihood and the development of science and technology. But a supercomputer that reaches 100 billion times per second?

Sounds crazy!

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Director Huang from the 56th Institute.

Director Huang looked at Lin Zheng with a frenzy and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Lin, will you develop a supercomputer worth trillions of times per second?"

"Of course." Lin Zheng looked for granted: "Other people's supercomputers are moving faster, higher and stronger. If we don't follow up, wouldn't we even be able to eat the leftovers?"

A technology-based high-tech enterprise. Continuously updating technology is the foundation for their survival. If you don’t follow the development direction of international supercomputer technology? What a crazy thing that can only be done by people?

Major General Li was a little unable to understand Lin Zheng's madness. In his opinion, Lianchuang Technology's supercomputer department could not maintain it with national financial allocations like the four major supercomputer research and development centers in China. His own investment exceeded 90%. Why are you doing so crazy?

There was a light in Chen Zuoning's eyes.

There is no doubt that Lin Zheng's decision is not calm anyway. Lin Zheng's actions are very promising. If he cannot control his investment, it is basically equivalent to being on the list of death. But she is more aware that it is impossible to succeed without a little crazy spirit in this high-tech industry. Lin Zheng is obviously a crazy technology madman, but he has grasped a good balance between technology and the market. Perhaps, Lianchuang Technology's computer department will have the opportunity to develop into China's ibm one day?

But for Major General Li, Lin Zheng's words were so reasonable that he was speechless.

The reason is very simple. If the leaders of the four major supercomputing centers in China said to themselves, they could also think that they were firing empty fire and "defrauding" the finances in this way, but how much money can Lianchuang Technology get from the country in one year? If it were maintained by national fiscal appropriations, Lianchuang Technology would have starved to death long ago.

He opened his mouth and just as he was about to say something, Sun Yafang rushed in suddenly, and his whole body was filled with a crazy excitement.

What's wrong? Looking at Sun Yafang who was almost crazy, Lin Zheng was a little puzzled.

"Good news, Mr. Lin, good news," Sun Yafang rushed to Lin Zheng without any image. She was breathless, but her face was extremely excited: "Good news..."

"Don't worry, say it slowly," Lin Zheng said, handing over a glass of water and asked curiously: "What the hell is it?"

After taking a sip of water, Sun Yafang became much better and took a deep breath. However, he did not answer immediately, but looked around the crowd first. Then he said: "I just received a call from the manned aerospace engineering project department of the Aerospace Industry Group. They will send a deputy commander to inspect our Shenwei-2003."

What? The leaders of the manned space project department of the Aerospace Industry Group are preparing to inspect our supercomputers? As soon as Sun Yafang's words came out, all the people from Lianchuang Technology at the scene were almost confused: What is the situation? Why are the people from the manned space project department coming to inspect our supercomputers? Who can explain it?

Of course, manned space engineering cannot be separated from supercomputers. Everyone knows this, but it makes everyone wonder why the Aerospace Industry Group suddenly extended an olive branch to itself without any warning. Whether it is comparing qualifications or relationships, networking, Lianchuang Technology cannot compare with the Institute of Computer Science, the National Parallel Computing Engineering Technology Center, the Institute of Computer Science, the National Defense University, and the Magic City Supercomputing Center. But why did the supercomputer on its side come just after the acceptance, and the people from the manned space engineering project department came?

Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was much faster. After being stunned, he immediately suppressed his excitement and asked, "This is really a happy ending... Did the manned space project department say what to investigate?"

In fact, this is a waste of asking. What else can I do to investigate? Isn’t this the lice on the bald head clearly visible? As long as the performance of Shenwei-2003 meets the requirements of the manned space project department, most of them are to rent Shenwei-2003’s computing resources and directly purchase a supercomputer? With the budget of the manned space project department, Lin Zheng felt that there was little hope, but even if he came to rent some of the computing resources, it was also a huge positive news for Lianchuang Technology. This means that Lianchuang Technology’s level in supercomputer has been recognized by the manned space project department. Is there anything more exciting than this affirmation?

The answer is similar to what Lin Zheng thought. Sun Yafang said: "They mainly examined the performance of Shenwei-2003. If the performance can meet their requirements, they will use some of Shenwei-2003's computing resources."

Major General Li looked shocked!

Before, he was wondering whether Director Huang would have said good things to them in view of the current cooperation between Institute 56 and Lianchuang Technology, but now it seems that he is really thinking too much. If it is really as he thought, the manned space project department would come so impatiently to inspect it? He knew how great strategic and political significance the manned space project has to the entire country. At this time, the only thing he seemed to have to do was to congratulate Lianchuang Technology on it.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations." He bowed to Lin Zheng, and Major General Li said to Lin Zheng with admiration: "Congratulations to Lianchuang Technology."

"Hehe..." Lin Zheng only knew that he was giggling foolishly.

With the example of manned space project department, we are ahead. Surveying, mapping, oil, telecommunications... Are customers in major industries still far away? These units are all loyal users of supercomputers.

Funny, this Shenwei-2003 is actually not the one that Lianchuang Technology placed its own order, but is produced for iQ. However, this supercomputer will be placed in China and is exclusively for use in the iQ China region and provides some computing resources for the iQ Europe region. But now, with the manned space project department, Lin Zheng began to worry about whether the computing resources of Shenwei-2003 are enough for Lianchuang Technology's own supercomputer to speed up the project progress.

At this moment, Lin Zheng deeply felt how urgent China's demand for computing resources was. Otherwise, even Shenwei-2003, a supercomputer that had not even been verified in performance, was so popular... Speaking of which, only a few supercomputers with computing speeds of tens of trillions of times per second in the entire Republic? No wonder the manned space project department was so impatient after hearing the news that Shenwei-2003 acceptance was completed.

………………………………………

It is similar to what Lin Zheng thought. The domestic demand for supercomputers, which are absolutely prohibited from exporting to the Republic by Batumi, is simply a bottomless pit. After the manned aerospace project department, the military, telecommunications department, banking system, oil system, and several major domestic fighter jet R&D units... have put forward the requirements for inspection of Shenwei-2003 to Lianchuang Technology. Some units that are eager to demand high-performance computing capabilities have even omitted the inspection level. They have to book the computing resources of Shenwei-2003 directly by phone.

Even the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is a supercomputer research and development unit, sent a public letter to Lianchuang Technology, proposing to investigate Shenwei-2003. It is conceivable how high the demand for high-performance computing resources in China is.

Lin Zheng's statistics are that in just two days, if the computing resource requirements of all the units sent by the official letters are met, two Shenwei-2003 are needed. No wonder many computing centers abroad have tried their best to increase their computing power. This is all small money.

The offline of Shenwei-2003 is a good thing worth celebrating for Lianchuang Technology, but for those who are quarreling, this is extremely bad news. James Rothschild smashed the table without any image and unscrupulously and said loudly: "Gentlemen, now you see it. 500 billion times a second supercomputer was born from our enemies. I believe everyone here knows what this speed means. What's worse is that our enemies not only master the production and research and development technology of supercomputers, but also master the most core PU technology. Nothing is worse than this. If we can't unite and deal with our enemies together, Motorola's today is your tomorrow."

Edward Jander really wanted to kick James Rothschild down the table: You said that Lianchuang Technology and Lin Zheng, just say it, but what do you mean by mentioning Motorola?

However, the people of Microsoft, ibm, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Nortel are obviously not Motorola, which has gone downhill again, nor are Edward Jander secretly jeering. They deeply realized one thing: Wolf, this time, it is not like their traditional territory being snatched away by this unruly bastard, it is better to cooperate with everyone obediently.

Regarding the emergence of Shenwei-2003, the most annoying thing was undoubtedly the blue giant ibm, so that as soon as James Rothschild finished speaking, the representative of ibm stood up and said unscrupulously: "ibm does not think that there is an additional supercomputer manufacturer in the world. There are enough companies that can produce supercomputers now." (To be continued...)
