Zhang Min nodded, "Yes, there are still many pre-sale tickets for the English version at this stage, and many of them are students who flock to the foreign-accented version to buy tickets."

Zhao Donghuai was speechless, "..."

"Okay then, adjust it to 70% of the English version!"

Has the Mainland entered the pre-sale mode? It can only be said that after experiencing the (Jurassic Park) ticket grabbing, ticket scalping incidents, etc., the audience has also learned wisely and ran to buy a blockbuster a few days before it was released.

Tickets for the scheduled movies have started to be sold out.

At this stage in the Mainland, studying abroad is a trend, and it is estimated that the prototypes in (Chinese Partners) will soon start their careers.

English dubbing with Chinese subtitles in major movies is indeed a way to learn foreign languages. In the 21st century, how many people learned Japanese and English from film and television works?

Zhao Donghuai learned many sentences before traveling through time.

After lunch, when Zhao Donghuai returned to work, he soon received a phone call reporting...about supercomputers.

After an in-depth chat, he gained a deeper understanding of the current top supercomputing capabilities around the world, mainly in North America and island countries.

There are two major supercomputing brands in North America. Cray-1 is the originator of supercomputing. Cray-2, launched in 1985, is one of the mainstream machines in the North American market, with a computing power of 1.9 billion times per second.

Yes, one of the most powerful mainstream technologies in North America currently only operates less than 2 billion times per second.

Putting aside the Cray series, another brand, X-MP, will be launched on the market later this year. The number of operations per second is more than 2.6 billion, which is stronger than Cray-2. This will not be launched on the market until 1988.

It seems that supercomputers with tens of billions of operations per second almost do not exist? No, there must be some in the laboratory, but they are not yet available to the market.

The development of supercomputing is like this.

In this era, many companies in Europe, America and island countries are digging deep into parallel computing technology. A supercomputer uses multiple processors. Your processor can perform peak operations of 150 million times per second, and then cumulatively increase to 300 million or 500 million times.

, this is an improvement method.

Then you can have dual processors, four processors, or eight processors!

The Cray-1, the originator of supercomputing, can perform 250 million operations per second, while the X-MP, which will be launched on the market in a few months, already has 8 processors, and a single processor can perform 330 million operations per second.

8 multiplied by 3.3 successively beats the computing power of Cray-1, a tenfold difference!

This is the development trajectory of supercomputing...

The performance of single processors and computing continues to improve, and the number of processors used by a single supercomputer continues to increase!

For example, in the future from 1994 to 1996, the Japanese Fujitsu Group launched the world's fastest supercomputer. One machine can have 166 vector processors, and the peak performance of each processor is 1.7 billion operations.

166 multiplied by 1.7 billion means that the supercomputer launched by Fujitsu Group peaks at 282.2 billion operations per second!

In this way, supercomputing power has developed from over 100 million, over 1 billion, over 10 billion, over 100 billion operations, all the way to over 10 billion operations in the 21st century.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the island country surpassed North America in the field of supercomputing for many years, suppressing North America's level, which led to North America comprehensively blocking the island country's technology and supporting the rise of South Korea to compete with it.

Next year, X-MP will be launched on the market with a supercomputer capable of more than 2.6 billion operations per second. That was in December 1987. Of course, there will be tens of billions of operations per second in the laboratory.

In the same way, Japan's Fujitsu, Hitachi, Japan Electric, etc. are the core manufacturers there. Fujitsu also launched the world's first computer with a calculation count of 124.5 billion times in 1993.

That one is also the first in the world to have over 100 billion calculations.

Prior to this, the most powerful supercomputer in the island country was the SX-3/44R launched by Hitachi in 1990, which could perform 23.2 billion operations per second.

The Galaxy 2-generation machines that Zhao Donghuai received from Toshiba had 1 billion operations per second. They were either made by Toshiba, or were made by Fujitsu or Hitachi, a Japanese brand.

Toshiba produces personal laptops, but it also has in-depth cooperation with supercomputing groups.

China launched the Galaxy 1 generation in 1983, which can only be said to be the sixth country in the world that can independently manufacture supercomputers. The original Galaxy 3 was launched in 1997, with more than 10 billion calculations. In 1993, the island nation entered the

In the era of billions of computing operations per second, we are still a few steps behind.

It was also in the 1990s that supercomputers were officially involved in tens of billions of calculations, tens of billions of calculations, hundreds of billions, hundreds of billions of scales... Therefore, the ten machines that Director Zhao bought from Toshiba were comparable to the Galaxy 2 level.

It is the world’s top supercomputer that is seemingly commercially available at this stage.

Nowadays, the commercial supercomputers sold by everyone all have four or eight processors. By the time we reach the 21st century, you will be embarrassed to show off a supercomputer for only a few hundred yuan or a few thousand processors.

In the era of movie special effects, the development of various special effects is so booming. Not to mention the obvious generational difference in special effects, the shock of 3D and IMAX is more like two dimensions crossing into three dimensions.

"Several major manufacturers in the island country, including X-MP in North America, have machines with tens of billions of calculations in their laboratories, but they are not sold to the outside world and are not for commercial use."

“In 1990, Hitachi pushed 23.2 billion operations per second, in 1993 Fujitsu pushed 124.5 billion operations, and since 1994 it has been heading straight towards the 200 billion operations per second mark.”

"If you say that at this stage, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Shima Kuni Electric, etc. do not have machines with tens of billions of calculations, no one will believe it. Why don't you take a detour to Shima Kuni and use your portable space to collect them..."

Is he now openly running to the island country to play with supercomputer containment? He will definitely be arrested as soon as he lands, but this is not... with the super five senses added, all kinds of national martial arts have reached the limit of human beings?

Thinking of a certain thought, Zhao Donghuai just lowered his head and raised his head. His facial features, muscles, and bones had been fine-tuned until he was only four or five levels similar to his original face.

All kinds of Tai Chi, Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, etc. can reach the limit of human control.

It's so simple to use boxing techniques to fine-tune the shape of muscles and bones. It's definitely more amazing than makeup or PS.

Go and get a supercomputer with a scale of tens of billions of calculations, bring it back to Hong Kong Island through the portable space, and let many big names in the mainland help him develop it?

With the finished product, the research and development capabilities will be more sufficient!

This is not an era where cameras and surveillance are everywhere. Tracking, tracking and counter-reconnaissance have already reached the master level in junior and intermediate simulations.

After thinking about it, he always felt that a thousand cubic meters of portable space would be very stable.

The car god Biaodu sacrificed his life for the Galaxy 3-generation exascale supercomputer, and also gave him a dozen bad guys and a senior executive from Toshiba... He even had a battle of wits with the Kagawa family, and Ichiro Kagawa almost died

Black Mexican lost his liver and kidneys.

Think of the end.

Zhao Donghuai still said decisively, "Let's try the simulation for three years. We can develop many five-axis linkage CNC machine tools. Laboratory-level machines are not hopeless."

………………

Three days later.

My own large villa with an area of ​​15 acres in Tai Hang Village, New Territories.

When Zhao Donghuai took out a behemoth machine from his portable space, he was completely relieved. The performance of the Hitachi brand test machine in the laboratory was not very stable. Maintenance during operation every now and then was not a trivial matter. Ordinary people could not maintain it at all.

But this is indeed a supercomputer capable of tens of billions of operations per second!

There is also a complete set of instructions and introductory usage materials, including technical information.

Compared with the mid-1990s, a top supercomputer had more than 160 processors... This supercomputer is still very stable, with only more than 40 processors.

But compared with the four-processor and eight-processor currently on the market, they are no longer the same thing. This is laboratory level, stacking multi-processor technology like building blocks.

In order to get this machine, he simulated the supercomputing field more than 300 times, and it took him more than three days to master it.

That's more than three hundred times, three thousand reputation points for three years at a time, and more than 900,000 reputation points were spent on this machine!

You must know that (Jurassic Park), which has swept the world, has contributed more than 2 million reputation points to him, and less than half of the income has been spent on laboratory-level prototypes.

During the process, not to mention doubling the basic vision and doubling the sense of smell, all sorts of things were accumulated, including doubling the skin strengthening, doubling the blood strengthening, and doubling the bone marrow strengthening.

When Director Zhao made the excited call, a group of experts from the mainland also arrived in the evening. They followed the instructions and ran some operations, confirming that this was a supercomputer with ten times the computing power of the Galaxy 2 generation??

A certain expert was so shocked that he could hardly breathe, "Sheng Zhao? This... this Cray-2, which can perform 1.9 billion operations per second, is already top-notch on the market."

"That's tens of billions of times??"

Another expert was also amazed to see more than 40 processors running together, "The little devil is so hidden. There are only 4 processors for sale, and the eight processors in North America are already top-notch."

"X-MP, the world's most powerful supercomputer, will be launched after the year, but it will only run 2.6 billion times per second."

More than 40 processors? This high-speed technology of building blocks is very unusual.

As long as you master this technology, the research and development of Galaxy 3 will explode. Going from zero to 1 is the most difficult, and 1 to 10 is much easier.

Then from 4 to dozens, hundreds...

A certain bank president looked at Zhao Donghuai with a confused look, "Sheng Zhao, is this from Toshiba??"

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Of course it's Toshiba. If not this good friend, who could come up with this thing from Hitachi Labs? It's unlucky to say that someone from the Pan Asia Group jumped on the street and actually instigated a gangster to grab the Supercomputer 3 generation.

Isn’t that a joke?”

"A dozen lives were lost in vain, including the death of Kagawa Jiro from the Toshiba family. I also heard that Kagawa Ichiro was almost sent to Kuroshigo to have his liver and kidneys removed... What a pity!"

A certain bank manager was extremely messy, but he had long understood that Toshiba was just taking the blame. Privately, Zhao Sheng didn't even know how many people he had bribed in the island country.

Just like when his Wanjia Group entered South Korea? How many prosecutors, congressmen, etc. clearly sided with Zhao Sheng and cheered for him? Samsung chose not to resist, while Goldman Sachs, Lehman, etc. chose to help him invade Japan and carve up Japan together.

This kind of friendship power seems to be quite strong indeed!

Zhao Donghuai did not explain much, "Such a supercomputer is still at the laboratory level. It is difficult to directly put it into the special effects base for stable operation. It is better to leave it to everyone to learn."

"We will try to save up the technology to build high-speeds and build building blocks as soon as possible. Once we in the mainland can stably produce a machine with a processor worth dozens or even hundreds of dollars, it will run together."

"Breaking 10 billion times per second, 20 billion times is no longer a dream!"

In the first half of the 1990s, the island country was so domineering that it swept the world in the field of supercomputing. The scale of hundreds of billions of calculations was extremely normal.

What is his current identity? He almost went to Tokyo to steal a house, and he was embarrassed to tell anyone about it. Fortunately, the simulator is quite powerful!

I spent more than 900,000 reputation points to defeat the third generation of supercomputer, it’s done, it’s not a waste!

Following his words, a certain bank president and a group of big guys naturally... you're welcome!

Compare this to the early 1980s, when we spent huge amounts of foreign exchange to buy supercomputers from North America. However, supercomputers are managed by North Americans. Do you have to apply if you want to use them? Otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter the room where the supercomputer is installed, and the key will always be brought by the other party.
To be continued...
