Chapter 286 Calculation Speed
"Mr. Zhang, in fact, we started the development of photonic computer systems very early, even longer than the time we developed photonic computers.
If we had to say when the development started, then we had already started developing it as early as when we were developing ordinary computer systems, and the system of ordinary computers was actually just a simplified version of the photon computer system.
A real photon computer system cannot be used on an ordinary computer. After all, the photon computer system requires the computer to calculate too fast, and at that time, the photon computer system had not been really researched, so it continued to be studied until a month ago.
This photon computer system was successfully developed before, but because our photon computer has not yet been developed, we did not tell you." Tao Jing replied.
After listening to Gao Jing's words, Zhang Yi suddenly realized that Zhang Yi knew something about this project in the Computer Software Research Laboratory of Qicaishi Group. After developing ordinary computer systems at that time, the academic master who was responsible for the development of computer systems asked him
They reported that they wanted to conduct more in-depth research on this system and hoped that he would approve it. Moreover, he also approved their request at the time, but he just didn't remember it.
After starting up the photonic computer, Zhang Yi, Tao Jing and others began to conduct performance tests on the photonic computer.
After all, the most important factor in the performance of a computer is its computing power.
However, when the test data came out, both Tao Jing, who participated in the development of the photonic computer, and Zhang Yi himself were stunned by the data of this photonic computer.
Because the calculation speed of this photon computer far exceeded his imagination.
In his original expectation, this photon computer was already very powerful if it could reach the level of ordinary supercomputers. After all, the computing power of ordinary supercomputers can reach hundreds of billions of operations per second. As for those top supercomputers
, its calculation speed exceeds tens of billions of times per second.
However, supercomputers have huge server groups to support the computing power of the supercomputers, and the size of the photonic computer they developed is only a little larger than that of ordinary home computers, and is even far from being the same size as a regular home computer.
Compared with the size of Zhang Baxian's table, he never expected that the photon computer developed by their Qicaishi Group could surpass the computing power of ordinary supercomputers. In fact, they only expected that this photon computer could surpass ordinary ordinary supercomputers.
The level of home computers is already considered a success.
However, the reality was not what he expected at all. The computing power of this photon computer reached an average of 50 trillion times per second.
In other words, the computing power of the first photon computer developed by their Colorful Stone Group has far exceeded the computing power of the most advanced supercomputers in the world, and is even hundreds of thousands of times that of the most advanced supercomputers in the world.
many.
Therefore, the entire laboratory suddenly became very quiet, and you could even hear your own breathing.
Even Tao Jing couldn't help but said: "Boss, we succeeded. We have really developed a photonic computer with ultra-high performance, and the computing performance of this prototype alone far exceeds the world's most advanced computers."
Hundreds of thousands times."
"Great, we have finally developed a photon computer. Senior engineers, you are really amazing. Without your help, we can only rely on our own human civilization to develop a photon computer with similar performance.
I don’t think a computer can be successfully developed without decades or hundreds of years.” Until this time, Zhang Yi also came to his senses, and then thanked all the top students in the laboratory, especially Tao Jing.
"Boss, to be honest, I was still a little skeptical about the computing power of photonic computers before. After all, the civilization I live in is mainly focused on quantum computers, not photon computers.
Therefore, I cannot estimate the specific computing performance of photon computers. After all, I have never been exposed to photon computers before. Therefore, I thought that photon computers, like quantum computers, would not be developed until such technology was just developed.
At that time, the calculation speed will definitely not be comparable to that of ordinary supercomputers, and then as time goes by, quantum computer technology will slowly mature until the calculation speed of quantum computers exceeds that of ordinary supercomputers." Takai answered modestly.
"Senior Engineers, please don't be modest. You must know that computers play a very important role in every civilization. At the same time, they are also one of the important criteria for measuring the strength of a country and a civilization.
What's more, photon computers and quantum computers are one of the primary civilization standards recognized by all civilizations in the universe. Without one of these two technologies, even if other technologies have reached the standards of primary civilization, they still cannot be regarded as truly primary.
Civilization, one can imagine how important photon computers are to human civilization in our world?" Regarding Tao Jing's modesty, Zhang Yi said directly.
What is the status of computer performance among various civilizations in the universe? For Zhang Yi, it is still too far away. After all, human civilization has not even left its home planet, so comparisons cannot be made.
However, all countries on the earth attach great importance to supercomputers, and supercomputers are also one of the standards for measuring a country's strength, because powerful supercomputers can be used in all aspects, such as scientific research work.
Military fields, aerospace, space exploration, environmental simulation, etc. In other words, without supercomputers, many of the above fields will be greatly affected or even impossible to carry out.
From this we can see how important supercomputers are to a country. Is this why? Countries in the world that are capable of developing supercomputers spare no effort and invest a lot of time and money for fear of falling behind.
people.
"Mr. Zhang, although our Qicaishi Group has successfully developed a photon computer this time, its performance is also very outstanding, even hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than the world's most advanced supercomputer.
However, we must also see that this photonic computer still has many shortcomings. First of all, it is the size. I think the size of this photonic computer is still a bit large, so we must do more in this aspect.
Efforts should be made to reduce the size of photonic computers to the size of ordinary laptop computers, or even smaller. Only in this way will the practicality of photonic computers be greater.
Second, regarding the photonic components of the photon computer, we must work harder to develop better photonic components, because the components on the photon computer in front of us still have many shortcomings, especially
In terms of usage time, according to my estimation, the lifespan of the photonic components on this computer is not very long, and it is far from being comparable to the electronic components of ordinary computers.
Finally, there is the issue of mass production. After all, the photonic computer we developed is just a laboratory product of our Colorful Stone Group Computer Laboratory. All the devices in this computer are laboratory products, including the photons inside.
Components, photonic chips, etc.," Takai said.
"But Senior Engineer, I think that except for the mature photonic chip of the photonic computer developed by our Colorful Stone Group, other photonic components seem to be immature. Is it appropriate to establish a production line now?
As for the photonic chip production line, our Qicai Stone Group has already been developing it and is about to complete it. At the same time, many parts of the production line are already being manufactured. I think it won’t be long before we can see the photonics of our Qicai Stone Group.
The production line is up.
Of course, senior engineer! As for the development of other photonic component production lines, if you think it can start, then I will immediately order the relevant laboratories of our group to develop it and establish the production line as quickly as possible. After all, compared with
It will be much simpler to build a production line for photonic chips and photonic components." Zhang Yi asked.
"Mr. Zhang! I think we should start the development of a photonic component production line for photonic computers immediately. Although the photonic components currently developed by our Colorful Stone Group still have some shortcomings, the basic form of the photonic components has been determined.
Even if there are some modifications in the future, the magnitude of the modifications will not be very large, so the production line should start to be developed. After all, it takes a lot of time to develop a photon production line." After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Tao Jing said.
"Okay then! I will immediately order our Colorful Stone related laboratories to start developing a photonic component production line." Zhang Yi said.
Then! After Zhang Yi and Tao Jing chatted about photonic computers for a while, they left the photonic computer laboratory and came to the ultra-high precision machinery research laboratory.
"Mr. Cheng! How is the development of our photonic chip production line going? How long will it take to develop it?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Mr. Zhang! The other parts of our photonic chip production line are almost the same. We only need to make some modifications to the few photolithography machines that arrived a few days ago. As long as these photolithography machines are successfully modified, the production line will be almost the same.
Yes." Mr. Cheng replied.
"By the way, Mr. Cheng, I heard that the photonic chip production line you developed this time is very different from all the previous production lines of our Colorful Stone. The photonic chip production line you developed this time uses our
The industrial robot technology just developed by the group no longer requires workers to operate the entire production line?" Zhang Yi asked?
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, the production line developed this time uses the industrial robot technology developed by our company. The entire production line is intelligent and does not require manual operation at all. Even the work of moving goods on the production line is done.
Mobile robots are all used, which means that after our Qicaishi Group's photonic chip production factory is established, the entire factory will no longer need ordinary production line workers in addition to the necessary technical support team." Mr. Cheng said.
