In Green Lake Hotel, in the large box reserved by Dream Entertainment, the luncheon atmosphere was very harmonious. Dirk Mayer, CEO of AMD, and Li Chai were discussing in a low voice. Dirk Mayer was a little drunk, and Li Chai
I guess I'm a little confused. I really don't know what two drunk guys can talk about. Maybe who can drink better?
Shi Lei looked at AMD Senior Vice President Tom Cruci and asked, "Mr. Tom, what gifts have you prepared?"
Tom Cruise smiled and said: "Mr. Shi, we have prepared a supercomputer for Dream Entertainment Company!"
"Supercomputer?" Shi Lei asked in surprise.
Dream Entertainment's supercomputer was purchased from AMD, but its computing performance was a little weak, only 10tflops. Although the actual performance of the supercomputer is ranked among the top 500 supercomputers in the world,
It can be ranked fifty-ninth, but in Shi Lei's eyes, the performance of the supercomputer's origin is completely rookie and cannot be judged at all!
"Yes, our AMD company has been paying attention to Dream Entertainment Company before. We found that Dream Entertainment Company was hacked by hackers. The original supercomputer manufactured by AMD may not be able to meet the needs of Dream Entertainment in terms of performance.
Therefore, in order to celebrate the integration of our AMD company into the system of Mirui Technology Group and becoming a subsidiary of Dream Entertainment Company, we prepared a high-performance supercomputer for Dream Entertainment Company as a gift to Dream Entertainment Company." Tom.
Luxi explained.
When Shi Lei heard about high-performance supercomputers, he immediately became interested and asked: "How high can the computing performance of the supercomputer you prepared be?"
If it were just an ordinary supercomputer, such as 30tflops or 50tflops, Shi Lei really wouldn't be interested. After all, there is not much essential difference in the upgrade from 10tflops to 50tflops.
"Mr. Shi, the supercomputer we have prepared is theoretically designed to have a computing speed of 320tflops, but equipped with the supercomputer operating system developed by AMD, it can only use about 200tflops of computing resources."
There has always been a big gap between the theoretical speed value and actual performance of supercomputers. Even fourth-generation supercomputers have no way to avoid this problem.
For example, Blue Gene/L, the world's number one supercomputer, has a design theoretical calculation value of 367.0tflops. However, in fact, Blue Gene/L's usable computing resources are only 280.6tflops, and the hardware utilization reaches 76.46.
Although the second-ranked supercomputer Red Storm has a hardware utilization rate of 79.6, the eighth-ranked supercomputer Columbia, affiliated with NASA, has a hardware utilization rate of 85.1.
But in fact, the Blue Gene/L supercomputer produced and designed by IBM is equipped with a supercomputer operating system that is already quite advanced. This is because the hardware utilization of supercomputers is rapidly improving with the increase in theoretical computing performance.
With difficulty.
To give a simple example, a supercomputer has 100 CPU computing cores inside, and another supercomputer has 1,000 CPU computing cores inside. Then, the difficulty of controlling 100 CPU computing cores and controlling 1,000 computing cores can be
Is it the same?
Coordinating the internal CPU computing cores of a supercomputer to work together, whether it is software design or hardware design, is the core technology of a supercomputer.
The design theoretical computing performance of the supercomputer Red Storm is 127.4tflops, which is about one-third of the supercomputer Blue Gene/L; while the eighth-ranked supercomputer Columbia has a design theoretical computing performance of only 61.0tflops, which is barely as high as Blue Gene/L.
One-sixth of color gene/L.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the hardware utilization of these two supercomputers is higher than that of Blue Gene/L. If the design theoretical calculation speed values of Red Storm and Columbia are increased to the same as Blue Gene/L
At the same height as the theoretical value of L, their hardware utilization will be exceeded by Blue Gene/L in an instant.
AMD's newly built supercomputer has a design theoretical calculation value that is not as high as Blue Gene/L, and the actual available computing resources are even less than Blue Gene/L; the hardware utilization is only a pitiful 62.5, far behind
blue gene/L.
IBM specializes in server manufacturing and is definitely not comparable to AMD. If IBM wants to produce central processors in the personal computer field and has a strong software company, it is willing to develop operating systems and related software based on non-X86 frameworks for IBM.
If the supporting software is not available, then Intel and Microsoft will definitely be very depressed.
In fact, the success of Microsoft has a lot to do with IBM. When Microsoft was first established, it received help from IBM. Otherwise, how could it have succeeded?
"Has the design theoretical value reached 320tflops?" Shi Lei's eyes shone. Although the supercomputer system developed and manufactured by AMD is indeed a bit inferior and the hardware utilization rate is relatively low, Shi Lei does not need AMD's supercomputer system.
I can run the supercomputer prepared by AMD. As long as the internal hardware design of the supercomputer is not defective, the hardware utilization rate will increase in an instant.
"Well, it's just that the hardware utilization is a little bit wrong. We will make certain modifications and enhancements according to the specific uses of Dream Entertainment Company." Tom Cruise said a little embarrassed. AMD's supercomputer system is recognized as
It's a little bit unreliable.
Generally, companies that purchase AMD server CPU products, except small and medium-sized companies, and large companies are basically capable of designing their own supercomputer systems.
Shi Lei had an excited expression on his face, but Mu Shuang frowned. She spoke in English: "Sorry, Mr. Tom, Shi Lei, let me interrupt your conversation."
"Oh, Shuangshuang, do you have something to say?" Shi Lei asked in Xia Mandarin.
On the other side of Ling Yu Mo Shi Lei, when he heard Shi Lei's nickname for Mu Shuang, a strange light flashed in his eyes. 'Sister Mu Shuang, what happened between you and Shi Lei? Why did Shi Lei suddenly change his name for you?
'
"Shi Lei, don't say anything. I have something to ask someone from AMD, do you understand?" Mu Shuang said in a serious tone.
Shi Lei nodded, secretly guessing what Mu Shuang wanted to ask AMD about.
Tom Cruise was glanced at by Mu Shuang, and his expression became solemn. He now knew Mu Shuang's position in the Mirui Technology system. Shi Lei claimed to own 15% of Mirui Technology's shares. Originally, it was only 1%.
Fifth, after the loan incident, Shi Lei took the opportunity to increase his holding amount.
Tom Crusey is very good at observing people's emotions. Seeing that Shi Lei, one of the shareholders of Mirui Technology, attaches great importance to Mu Shuang, he will certainly not ignore Mu Shuang's authority foolishly.
"Ms. Mu, what can I do for you?" Tom Crusey asked in English, with a hint of respect in his tone.
"Mr. Tom, although I don't know much about supercomputers, the supercomputer you just mentioned should not be cheap even in terms of manufacturing cost, right?" Mu Shuang asked.
Tom Cruise's expression changed slightly.
After listening to Mu Shuang's question, Shi Lei understood a little what Mu Shuang meant. He also looked at Tom Crusey, waiting for Tom Crusey's explanation.
"Ms. Mu, Mr. Shi, the cost of that supercomputer is about 300 million U.S. dollars." Tom Cruise said honestly. This estimate is not much different from the estimate made by Shi Lei and Yi Zuer.
difference.
Mu Shuang chuckled lightly, with a questioning tone in his tone: "Mr. Tom, if I remember correctly, AMD was in a very bad situation before. This expenditure cost 300 million US dollars. You will give it to me as a gift."
For Dream Entertainment, how should the accounts be handled?"
Although AMD has become a subsidiary of Dream Entertainment, it is not a wholly-owned subsidiary. Mirui Technology only holds 90% of the shares of AMD. Furthermore, even if Dream Entertainment and AMD co-exist in Mirui Technology
system, but after all, they are two different independent companies, and their accounts and finances require separate records.
A supercomputer with a cost of approximately US$300 million was presented to Dream Entertainment by AMD. Even if it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mirai Technology, it should be handled through normal channels after financial verification by both parties.
When Tom Crusey heard Mu Shuang's inquiry, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Ms. Mu, AMD made this decision after the decision of our seven controlling shareholders. Originally, this supercomputer belonged to our AMD company.
It was handed over to the debtor to pay off the debt. Dream Entertainment Company took the initiative to assume the debt of AMD. This supercomputer could not find a buyer for the time being. It happened that Dream Entertainment Company needed a high-performance supercomputer. Therefore, we chose to give it to
Dream Entertainment Company.”
After hearing this, Mu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, after a handover between Dream Entertainment Company and AMD, the supercomputer will be included in the fixed assets of Dream Entertainment Company."
Tom Cruise secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, no problem, Ms. Mu!"
Shi Lei scratched his head and said: "Mr. Tom, have you completed the production of all components of this supercomputer? Have you conducted simulation tests? Or actual tests? The design theoretical calculation values and real computing resource values are based on your past experience. Is it calculated from historical data, or is it tested after the actual assembly is completed?"
If all the components are produced, they only need to find a place to install them and they can be used immediately. Shi Lei couldn't help but feel excited, designing a supercomputer with a theoretical calculation value of 320tflops, which is almost one of the most advanced supercomputers currently.
After owning this supercomputer, Shi Lei can guarantee that if Raphael provokes him again, Shi Lei will kill him to pieces!
