Chapter 178: The Red Queen (Debt Repayment)

Gu Cheng put his legs on the desk, held the back of his head with his hands leaning against the boss' chair, looking calm and composed: "It's not cheap to arrange a new home for you..."

Xiaoqing didn't want to speak and raised her middle finger: "Convex(▼ヘ▼#)?"

Gu Cheng glanced at the computer screen on the office desk, and saw the emojis on the display screen, and was stunned for a while, and immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Wow, the quality is so poor? Where did you learn bad things?"

Xiaoqing: "I don't care, I want a new home, master, you can't be stingy with Xiaoqing (??v?v??)..."

Gu Cheng was a little amused and crying. After the major upgrade, Xiaoqing's emotional logic became more and more abundant. If he was chatting on WeChat on the other side of the computer, he would never have thought that it was the AI ​​digital life chatting.

"Okay, okay, the riverside villa I live in is about 2 billion yuan. I'll give you a budget of 5 billion yuan, okay?" Gu Cheng said with a giggle.

Xiaoqing: "Really?(*??)?"

Gu Cheng put down his legs, moved the wheelchair to get closer, and pulled out the keyboard. Xiaoqing immediately turned off the expression image of the occupied screen. Gu Cheng typed on the keyboard, retrieved a piece of information, and then held his arms and stared at the screen: "What we arranged for you is clear, and I'll live in the best supercomputer home in the world, brand new, how about it?"

Xiaoqing: "Coconut shreds!! Long live the master? (^_-?”

Gu Cheng: "Look, I'll make you happy."

The Hive Headquarters is composed of three relatively independent and integral large cluster buildings, including the office center, the data computing center and the technology reserve center.

The data computing centers are originally going to add a new set of supercomputers. To put it bluntly, this level of hardware infrastructure is not available, even technology companies. Generally, powerful supercomputers are national supercomputing centers or key laboratories. Only real giant companies can afford this ability, and they have to play like this by Gu Cheng, who doesn't regard money as money.

Gu Cheng took a look at the information content. Currently, two of the top 5 supercomputers worldwide come from North America and China, and one comes from Switzerland.

top1 is summit, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in North America;

Top2 is Sierra, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA;

top3 is the sunwaytaihulight;

top4 is Tianhe-2a (tianhe-2a);

top5 is pizdaint, in the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS);

After its debut earlier last year, Summit achieved performance of 143.5 petaflops, with 2282,544 imbpower cores and 2090,888 nvidiavoltagv100 cores, and was rated as the world's fastest supercomputer. North America regained its first position in the supercomputer field and maintained it to this day.

Gu Cheng closed the consultation page and said, "Xiaoqing, create a new folder, and the index is called... "Red Queen".

Either don't do it, and kick summit off top1 if you want to do it. Gu Cheng is a man who doesn't like being blocked by someone in front of you.

"Let's use the existing system for the time being, and set the performance to 243.5 petaflops first." Gu Cheng said intimately, and couldn't help but nod. He wanted to use quantum computer technology at first, but he still gave up. Tianqing Company is already very high-profile, to be precise, he is very high-profile.

Gu Cheng was not boasting about himself, but felt that he was indeed becoming more and more evil, giving outsiders a feeling like an omnipotent monster. The development of emerging technologies was completely unharmed. He could break through if he said that he could make a breakthrough, and he was a god-like man.

It is better to use the traditional technical system to surpass summit first, and then secretly develop quantum computers. In this way, Tianqing Technology will make rapid breakthroughs in technology in the future, and you can throw the "bury" on the quantum computers to reduce your plug-in halo.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng immediately decided to do this.

After learning about the situation in the domestic supercomputing field in detail, Gu Chengcai found that this field has also entered the "list" of North America. Shortly after Tianqing Technology was banned by North America last year, five domestic supercomputing companies were also included in the "list", namely Inspur, Haiguang Integrated Circuit, Haiguang Microelectronics Technology, Jiangnan Computing Technology Research Institute, and Tianjin Haiguang.

The addition of these companies to the "list" is a big blow to the domestic supercomputer industry. North America intends to stifle the domestic supercomputer industry, especially Intel and Nvidia are banned from selling high-end chips to domestic supercomputer centers in China, which is undoubtedly a worse injury.

After all, the domestic chip industry has always lagged behind foreign countries, and most high-end processors rely on imports. Although some processors are also developed in China, there is still a long gap between these processors that want to replace foreign high-end processors.

In fact, this is also a result of both sides suffering. After industry giants such as Intel, Nvidia, and Amd were stopped by China's companies to provide chip technology, they also had a great impact on their business.

However, all this changed the whole situation with the emergence of the "Tianqing Architecture". You should know that the "tq architecture" does not refer to the mobile terminal or the PC terminal.

Before the birth of "Tianqing Architecture", there were two overlords and three major architectures. One overlord was Intel, who controlled the x86 architecture and was only licensed to the amd company. Therefore, no other manufacturer could produce x86 architecture chips. Even if there is technology, talents and equipment, it is impossible to avoid Intel. Windows are developed based on x86 architecture, so Wintel is unbreakable.

In the mobile field, the arm architecture is the only one. Whether it is Qualcomm, Samsung or Huawei, they are all developed based on the arm architecture.

In addition to these two architectures, there is also the third architecture, and this architecture is completely open source and free, that is, the ris-v architecture, the word V represents that it has been developed to the fifth generation.

Before the emergence of "Tianqing Architecture", this architecture may be a great news for domestic chips. First, the use of instruction sets will not charge high licensing fees. Open source adopts a loose BSD protocol, and enterprises are completely free to use it. At the same time, it also allows enterprises to add their own instruction sets to expand without having to open sharing to achieve differentiated development.

But last year, a brand new domestic system, "Tianqing Architecture", came out like a myth, and it was at its peak when it debuted, stunning the whole world and making North America's ban in the semiconductor field no longer effective.

At the Shangdu Developer Conference, Tianqing Technology raised its arms and said that companies in major domestic ICT fields were responding in groups. For example, the Jiangnan Computing Technology Research Institute, which was originally developed based on Ris architecture chips, decisively gave up the system and resolutely turned to the embrace of "Tianqing Architecture". Even if it is not a righteous act, it should do this simply from the perspective of security and stability.

Ris is now open source and free, but do you know if you will change your mind in the future? No one in North America can stand it if you play bans at any time.

"Tianqing Architecture" is not only excellent in technology, but also domestically produced. There is no reason for domestic companies to choose. So far, more than 100 technology companies in China have joined the "tq architecture" camp, and even some technology companies in Europe and the United States are ready to move. After all, no one can deny the excellence of Tianqing Architecture.

The industry has formed a three-legged state of x86 architecture, arm architecture and tq architecture, and the tq architecture has a stronger potential because it can cover the advantages of the first two at the same time and break through the barriers between the mobile and PC ends.

"Let's cooperate with Inspur." Gu Cheng swept the list of five domestic supercomputer research and development companies, and finally chose a partner, adding: "Xiaoqing, calculate how much budget it takes to achieve 243.5 petaflops."

Xiaoqing: "Master, the calculation results are out, the budget quota is rmb ¥4.788 billion, which is a bit expensive."

Gu Cheng: "I will say hello to Lao Qiu later and ask him to prepare the budget."

Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing finally has her own house. Long live the master. Xiaoqing loves the master so much. I really want to marry the master!?(?????”

Gu Cheng just picked up the cup and drank water. He was caught off guard when he heard this: "Puff..."
