0565 Matrix
In the past week, Schweic had been very frightened. Not only was he cautious, but the members of the team he was in charge of were also highly nervous, because they were in charge of the group's biggest secret.
At least that's what Zhou Qingfeng said when he confessed - top secrets related to the life and death of the 'Holy Light' must not be leaked.
But now Schweic is facing difficulties.
Ever since the "Holy Light" appeared on the "News Network" short message, Tianyang has attracted nationwide attention, and an endless stream of people have come to visit, inspect, interview and study.
The outside of the headquarters of 'Holy Light' is like a playground with people coming and going. City leaders come three times a day to guide the company's work. The city TV station is desperately trying to find some bright spots within the group.
For example, has anyone left their family and career to join the Holy Light?
No, everyone actually comes here for the money.
For example, is there anyone working overtime and working hard?
Yes, the company provides too much overtime pay, and the late-night snacks are particularly generous.
For example, are there any role models who have had family members die of serious illness but still stick to their posts?
Well... I haven't heard of anyone working so hard.
In short, leaders can come in three waves, and reporters can come in ten waves. This has made everyone in the Holy Light tireless. After a week, everyone feels that the news craze should have subsided, right?
The Tu-154 large aircraft has arrived.
This is more real than any text message, and you have got something good that you can see.
It was over, and the national media was so enthusiastic that they all came here.
The night the news spread, Schweic had a premonition that something was not going well. Because of his wide range of interests, outstanding abilities, and low appearance, he was appointed by the president to be the leader of a special team.
The team grew from two or three people at the beginning to five or six people and then to a dozen people, bringing together the company's elite software and hardware experts. Mr. Zhou personally named the team 'Matrix'.
The mysterious ‘Matrix’.
Schwitch accepted the knowledge expansion of 'Thinkstorm' and was subconsciously influenced to keep the secret strictly because he was told that he would be in charge of a batch of special equipment.
The core of the equipment is a high-performance server that has no nameplate, no logo, and no records of origin, and is firmly locked on the third floor of the basement of the headquarters.
It is also codenamed ‘Matrix’.
This is a super server, with a peak floating point operation of 400 billion times per second.
Shocking!
The 'matrix' consists of ten extremely large cabinets nearly two meters high, with a total weight of more than five tons. It has nearly 300 central processors, 168GB of memory, and a 3.6TB disk.
This thing is used for large-scale scientific computing and network information services. The response time of the multi-task system is extremely short and the data throughput is extremely large.
Just starting a cabinet can process tens of billions of page hits every day, send tens of millions of emails, and process a week's weather forecast in less than a few minutes.
The performance of this device was so powerful that it even scared Shivich to the point of trembling.
In order for the 'Matrix' to work properly, the basement of the 'Holy Light' headquarters has been completely renovated. The air conditioner alone for cooling uses a high-precision big thing, which is definitely not a household gadget.
The 'matrix' usually only takes turns to open one cabinet. I'm afraid that it will consume too much power and the current bad power grid will burn this precious thing.
The 'Galaxy-I' supercomputer in 1983 could calculate 100 million times per second, which was a huge progress in breaking foreign monopoly and blockade. The 'Galaxy-II' in 1992 could calculate one billion times per second, which is worthy of boasting.
.
The 'Galaxy-III' that could perform tens of billions of operations per second had to wait until 1997, but now a monster with a speed of 100 billions per second has been developed.
In the current era where memory is measured in kilobytes, hard disks are measured in megabytes, and PC computing power makes it difficult to even draw a three-dimensional diagram, Schwitch cannot imagine what kind of device the 'Matrix' is.
Because all the supercomputers currently publicly reported are not as powerful as it. It is a cross-generational gadget, and Zhou Qingfeng only allows a dozen people, including Shiwei, to enter the basement of the headquarters to directly maintain it.
Other employees of the group can only contact it externally through the expansion interface. It is disguised as a diskless workstation and connected to hundreds of terminals in the headquarters through network cables through hub routers and other external devices.
The horror of 'Matrix' is that even if all terminals request large data operations at the same time, it can handle it easily and provide results within seconds.
In order to finish reading the thick operating instructions document of the 'Matrix', Schweich's team drank 'Fox's Cunning' and it was not enough. The goblins continuously applied 'Scholar's Touch' and were able to master it through the collective power of 'Thinkstorm'.
In order to install the 'matrix' in the basement of the headquarters building and complete the network construction, it took Schweich and others more than a month.
‘Matrix’ not only has powerful hardware capabilities, but also comes with a large number of application software. Petroleum, meteorology, water conservancy and hydropower, aerospace, bridges and tunnels, seismic environment, etc.
It is a huge treasure with immeasurable value. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional CAD software is simply ordinary to "Matrix", and it has no difficulty in operating it.
In order to keep this secret, the 'Matrix' team needs to receive Zhou Qingfeng's 'spiritual guidance' on a regular basis to erase confusion in their thinking and lock their inner subconscious.
Schweich and others will automatically ignore the fact that the 'Matrix' transcends the times. Their task is to maintain the operation of the 'Matrix' and act as an intermediary between the 'Matrix' and the outside world.
In order to attract enough talents, Zhou Qingfeng allowed domestic scientific research institutes to come to him to take advantage. There are already hundreds of researchers living in Tianyang, and they all found that the server of "Holy Light" is particularly easy to use.
For example, those engaged in oil exploration will send oil reservoir data and information for three-dimensional simulation. This is originally supposed to be sent abroad by plane, which not only costs a lot but also means giving up one's secrets to others.
Now all you need to do is send someone to fly to Tianyang with the hard drive containing the data. 'Holy Light' can provide an operation terminal, which makes inputting data fast, easy, and convenient.
then......
Doing bridge and culvert design, pressure vessel stress analysis, fluid mechanics simulation, turbine blade flow field analysis, catalytic cracking reaction simulation, integrated circuit simulation, geotechnical engineering and hydrological survey.
Coming in droves.
Since the data processing effect is surprisingly good, more and more companies are coming to take advantage of it.
Even units that engage in nuclear explosion simulations are considering whether to give it a try. However, they must clear the site when they arrive, directly control the equipment and not allow outsiders to access the data, and require absolute confidentiality.
'Holy Light' couldn't afford to offend him like this, so he simply refused. Zhou Qingfeng borrowed Xiao Jinlang's hand and sent him two servers with performance that met the current technical level to get rid of the problem.
As a result, many research institutes with three-digit code names felt that Zhou Qingfeng was too stingy, and always wanted to use the 'Matrix' hidden in the basement of the 'Holy Light' headquarters, and have now moved some unimportant computing tasks there.
Anyway, no matter what the calculation task is, ‘matrix’ can process the data that would have taken weeks or even months to calculate and give the result within a day or two at most.
Some calculation times are faster than the data input time. Often, people from a certain scientific research unit spend several days to put the data accumulated over the years into the 'matrix', and then press the Enter key to start the calculation.
The 'Matrix' terminal is ready in seconds.
This speed is so fast that many researchers are going crazy, wondering whether it is a calculation error or an input error. It is even worse when they find out that the results are correct, which means that many people have wasted half their lives on bad computer calculations.
But no matter who has experienced the huge computing power of the 'Matrix', they will be pissed off by Zhou Qingfeng - such a good super device is used by this guy as an office network terminal.
Most of the group's employees only write text reports and do some accounting calculations. They can do this by hand, and they actually use a supercomputer brought back from "abroad."
Zhou Qingfeng did not disclose any excessive information about the Matrix, but this terrifying gadget scared the domestic computer industry.
Originally, there was a huge gap between the domestic electronics industry and foreign countries, but now it is even more despairing - it turns out that Europe and the United States have secretly developed such powerful equipment.
Schwitch's team must strictly guard the secret of the 'Matrix', not only to make good use of this super server, but also to prevent any outside prying eyes.
But now the group headquarters is as busy as an amusement park, with people coming and going all day long. People are coming in and out, which is really hard to guard against.
Schweic could only eat, drink, and eat on the third underground floor of the headquarters. Someone from the 'Matrix' team was watching the screen of the control room 24 hours a day, and not even a fly was allowed to enter.
It was at this moment that Anderson Qin, who had been acting as an informant in Tianyang, pretended to be a reporter and followed media people from all over the country to sneak into the "Holy Light" headquarters building.
Chapter completed!
