The aftertaste of the New Year has not yet faded away, and Xinghai Technology has begun to get busy again.
At Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute, many scientists and engineers are gathering together, looking at a computer in front of them. This is a computer built using ternary system.
The chip is also manufactured by Xinghai Technology using its own maskless lithography machine, and also uses its own independently developed ternary architecture system.
It can be said that for this computer, Xinghai Technology has completely mastered all the key core technologies, chips, systems, and architecture, all of which were independently developed by itself.
"It's really not easy. In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed, and we have actually developed a ternary computer."
Li Chun was filled with emotions. Thinking about it, time flies so fast.
He still remembered the moment when Liu Yuan came to him and told him about his dream of building a chip. At that time, he felt that Liu Yuan was just joking and wasting his time.
But the desire and impulse for chips in his heart made him finally agree to follow this young man crazy.
I originally thought that it might take eight, ten, or even twenty years to develop this chip technology.
Who would have known that in just one year, Xinghai Technology has completely mastered independent chip technology, from wafers for manufacturing chips to photolithography machines and other related technologies.
Just one year, just one year.
Xinghai Technology has completely opened it up. Now Xinghai Technology has begun to build several chip production lines in the Xinghai Technology Industrial Park, and will soon be ready to announce this big news to the world.
In addition to chip technology, these young people from Xinghai Technology have actually developed ternary computing, rebuilt the ternary computer system, chip architecture, etc., and are even now studying Chinese programming. In the future, three
The hexadecimal computer will all be run using Chinese programming.
A year ago, Li Chun would have thought this was just a fantasy and impossible.
However, now, all of this is in front of me. The ternary computer in front of me will be the first ternary computer in this century. It will also amaze everyone and let the world take a look at the ternary computer.
of strength.
Everything is possible.
As Liu Yuan said, take dreams as horses and live up to your time and the stars in the sea.
Just like climbing a mountain, when you look at it from a distance, the mountain is so high that you are as small as an ant and feel that it is impossible to climb up.
But when you walk down step by step and finally reach the top of the mountain, you will find that it is nothing more than that.
This is how Li Chun feels now.
In the past, I always felt that chips were extremely high-tech and that it was simply impossible to manufacture them. After all, my family had been working on them for many years but had not yet been able to produce them.
Just relying on the hundreds of researchers from Xinghai Technology to come up with a chip is simply a fantasy.
However, now, after truly mastering all the technologies of the chip, I can look back and see that it is nothing more than that.
I used to think that 7nm-level chips were already very good, and 5nm was the most advanced level in the world. However, now Xinghai Technology’s chip technology has reached the 1nm level just from the beginning.
In the future, with the development and advancement of technology, Xinghai Technology's chip technology can break through to the picometer level and create more powerful chips.
That's all.
But think about it again, we have been working on chip technology for so many years, but why can’t we come up with it?
Why do we spend 300 billion green coins every year to import foreign chips?
There are too many, too many complicated factors in it.
Xinghai Technology's research team of only a few hundred people came up with it in one year.
This is not only because Liu Yuan is willing to invest and provide strong support, but more importantly, here, everyone can be more relaxed, more carefree, and a group of like-minded people who work hard and strive for a goal wholeheartedly.
The number of people is small, but the quality is extremely high.
Li Chun saw here what genius is. Many students who graduated from ordinary colleges and universities could not speak English well, but they were real geniuses in science and engineering. Their talents were astonishing.
Of course, the most amazing thing is Liu Yuan. He is like an all-rounder who knows everything. He can learn anything immediately and can quickly draw inferences. It is precisely because of Liu Yuan that he can successfully overcome every problem.
difficulties, and finally developed the chip technology.
Li Chun had to admit that he really fell in love with this place now.
I like the simple life here and the life without any worries.
You don’t need to worry about a house or a car. You can walk to work and exercise. You don’t need to worry about money.
In the year-end bonus at the end of last year, Li Chun directly received a year-end bonus of over 100 million. The company also helped pay personal income tax, so there is no need to worry about money in the future.
Even if your children want to buy a house in the imperial capital, there is no pressure.
What's more important is that the working atmosphere here is very relaxed and pleasant, without any pressure or tension, and there is no need to deal with complex interpersonal relationships. The boss is also engaged in research and does not regard himself as the boss when he is willful.
"Ready for the test~"
Liu Yuan glanced around and looked at the team in front of him.
Except for a few professors such as Li Chun and Jiang Wannian who are older, the others all have very young faces, full of vigor and vitality.
Although the team is very young, its combat power is absolutely outstanding, and the many precious medicines I took out from the inheritance seeds are not in vain, which can develop both the brain and the body.
It took a year to finally build this ternary computer.
"Dip~"
As Liu Yuan gently pressed the start button.
Everyone looked at the huge display and saw the numbers on it changing at an unimaginable speed.
"5000TFlop/s~"
"1000TFlop/s"
"2000TFlop/s"
"3000TFlop/s"
When they saw the numbers displayed on the monitor, everyone present couldn't help but cheer.
FLOPS is the number of floating-point operations per second (also known as peak speed per second). It is the abbreviation of the number of floating-point operations performed per second (English: Floating-poions per sed; abbreviation: FLOPS).
It is an important indicator to measure computer performance. 1 petaflop is equal to 1 quadrillion mathematical operations per second. The larger the number, the more powerful the computer is.
For example, the world's fourth-ranked supercomputer, the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer, can reach a peak of 93,000 TFlops per second, and its computing speed is extremely terrifying.
The peak computing speed of the ternary computer manufactured by Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute in front of me has reached 30,000TFlop per second.
It seems that it is nothing compared to the supercomputers in the world, because the top ten supercomputers in the world have tens of thousands of data.
However, the ternary computer in front of us only has more than 5,000 core processor chips, while those of the world's supercomputers.
Each one occupies a very large area, and many require an entire building to install them. The number of core processor chips is often hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
For example, Sunway TaihuLight has a terrifying number of core processor chips of more than 10 million, and Tianhe-2 also has nearly 5 million chips.
Summit, ranked second in the world, also has 2.4 million core chip processors, with a peak computing power of over 140,000 TFlops per second.
It can be seen that all these supercomputers around the world are piled up with massive chips. The more and more powerful the chips, the more powerful their computing power.
Of course, we can also see the technical differences between them from here.
Our Sunway TaihuLight uses tens of millions of chips, and its peak computing power is only more than 90,000, while the Summit of Beautiful Country only uses 2.4 million chips, and its peak computing power exceeds more than 140,000.
Calculating this, they are at least five or six times better than us in the field of chip technology. Of course, this is just a calculation of data, and the actual gap may be even greater.
The ternary computer in front of us only uses thousands of 1-nanometer chips manufactured by Xinghai Technology, and its computing power can reach 30,000.
After such a comparison, you will know whether this ternary computer is awesome or not, and you will also understand why everyone present cheered.
The performance of this ternary computer is really powerful!
"Awesome~"
"When it reaches the peak of 30,000, it can be used as a supercomputer. From now on, our research institute can use its own supercomputer to calculate some data and the like."
"I can't believe that such a tiny thing can be compared with the world's supercomputers."
"Sure enough, what we calculated in advance is the same. The ternary computer is theoretically simpler and more efficient than the binary computer. Coupled with the 1-nanometer chip we produced, a miracle occurred in front of us."
"There are only more than 5,000 chips. Coupled with the design and architecture of the ternary computer, its computing speed is so terrifying. I can't believe it. It's so powerful!"
Li Chun, Jiang Wannian, Song Cang and others were all very excited. They had been studying this computer for more than a day or two. After their own efforts, they actually built such a powerful computer.
How can we not be excited? How can we not be excited?
As for Liu Yuan, at this moment, he also showed a satisfied smile.
Although the computer in front of me is nothing yet, it is definitely a good start, and the power of the ternary computer is beginning to show.
"In the future, this supercomputer can be built at will. It doesn't hurt to buy tens of thousands of chips to build a supercomputer. Every project team can build one."
"And based on current data, the ternary computer produced by these tens of thousands of chips can completely defeat those so-called supercomputers."
Liu Yuan touched his chin and thought.
Liu Yuan felt distressed when he thought about the crazy moves on the planet that use millions or tens of millions of chips to build supercomputers. This is all money.
Chips are very expensive. It takes millions of chips to build a supercomputer. This is a money-burning game, and only those big and wealthy countries can afford it.
