Chapter 323 The most important thing is to be patient
Su Xiaomu has always had a lot of ideas about big data.
There is definitely some selfishness.
Because, basically, the technologies required by big data are partially proficient or even very expert by Su Xiaomu, but they are not perfect enough.
Like large-scale parallel processing of databases, Su Xiaomu is partially proficient.
Data mining is very expert.
The bottom layer of the distributed file system is very expert or even perfect, but the upper layer is only partially proficient or does not understand it.
As for scalable storage systems…
This is simply a sleepy pillow.
Su Xiaomu's recent focus has been basically on in-depth research related to storage.
If you can take advantage of the opportunity of project research and design a comprehensive program according to the needs of the project from beginning to end...
Su Xiaomu is confident that his knowledge chain can be sorted out into some perfect content.
Hearing Su Xiaomu ask this, Zhang Xiao smiled and said.
"There are no specific requirements for the project time, but if we start the independent design again, won't the workload be too much?"
The underlying meaning behind the words is that I am not very opposed to it.
There is even a look of being happy to see it come to fruition.
Xiong Zhengye, a second-year master's student who seldom spoke, suddenly said, "Professor, if the project timeline is too long, we may have a slight problem here."
Xiong Zhengye suddenly spoke, leaving Zhang Ke, Tan Ling, Lin Tang, and Su Xiaomu stunned.
But Su Xiaomu reacted quickly.
This has a lot to do with the academic setting of South China University of Technology.
First, let’s talk about the innovative class that Su Xiaomu joined, which implements the “3+1+x” training model.
‘x’ master’s degree students take 2 or 3 years, and doctoral students take 4 or 5 years.
The specific x is 2, 3, 4, or 5, which is selected by each innovation class according to the characteristics of the major.
For example, a combined bachelor's and master's degree in accounting is a 6-year program.
The combined undergraduate and master's degree program for some majors is 7 years long.
The specific meaning of 3+1+x is that undergraduate courses other than graduation internship and graduation project (thesis) are completed in the first three years.
In the fourth year, you can study postgraduate courses in advance and complete your undergraduate graduation project.
Obtain a bachelor's degree after four years, obtain graduate student status from the fifth year, and study for a master's or doctoral degree...
And you must have at least one study abroad experience during your undergraduate period, and participate in at least one college student innovation and entrepreneurship training program.
The student's graduate supervisor must be determined by the third year of undergraduate studies at the latest.
The last one is that Su Xiaomu's supplementary rules did not come out of the blue or by luck.
Pay attention to the comprehensive evaluation of innovation class students in the third semester of undergraduate studies, that is, at the beginning of the first semester of sophomore year;
Students ranked in the bottom 15% need to participate in the defense, and students ranked in the bottom 50% in the defense must, in principle, be transferred to regular classes!
Of course, it’s not completely unreasonable. You can stay and follow, but you don’t have the qualifications to participate in the recommended graduate students in this class, etc...
It is then up to the college to decide whether to select additional outstanding students, and the time is also limited to the beginning of the third semester, and not after that.
At the end of the sixth semester, a comprehensive evaluation will also be conducted. Students who rank 80% can participate in the postgraduate program and the bottom 20% will complete the undergraduate training plan, obtain a bachelor's degree, and then graduate.
In principle, students cannot be exempted from studying for postgraduate studies at other universities, but they can participate in interdisciplinary exemption qualifications and international exchange programs on campus.
This is preferential treatment for the innovative class, but what about the ordinary class...
It’s very clear for the regular class, and the master’s degree requires 3 years.
Xiong Zhengye is currently in the second semester of his second year of master's degree, not a bachelor's and master's degree program, which means he still has one year left to graduate.
But there are a lot of things to be completed in the final year, such as graduation projects, graduation internships, etc.
Therefore, Xiong Zhengye is worried that he will not be able to finish this topic.
Although he might not have been able to finish it, if he studies all independently now, he may not have any satisfactory results in the subject by the time he leaves Hua Tong University.
It only took a short while for everyone to react.
Not only Xiong Zhengye, in fact, except Lin Tang and Tan Ling, everyone else had more or less concerns about Su Xiaomu's proposal.
"I quite agree with what Lao Xiong said in this regard. I am also a little worried that the timeline will be stretched too long."
Another doctoral student said.
Zhang Ke looked at Tan Ling and Lin Tang, who had never spoken, "What do you two mean?"
Lin Tang replied indifferently.
"There's no problem with me here. I'm only in my first year of master's degree and I'm planning to study for a doctoral degree."
Yes, ever since Lin Tang found out that Su Xiaomu had a girlfriend, he suddenly gave up.
Then I don’t know if I figured it out, but I suddenly decided to continue my studies.
Tan Ling pushed up his glasses and said, "There's nothing wrong with me. I'm still very early in graduation."
To be honest, there is actually another way for doctoral students to graduate...
lifelong.
Su Xiaomu didn't argue anymore.
Everything is decided by Zhang Kelai.
After all, Zhang Ke is the soul of the entire experimental group.
Not him, Su Xiaomu.
Zhang Ke pondered for a moment, looked at Su Xiaomu, and asked, "Xiaomu, if all modules are re-researched according to your suggestion, how long do you estimate it will take."
"Well, I can't use you as a prototype as a reference model."
After Zhang Ke finished speaking, the laboratory was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.
"It's still Xiaomu Junior 6!"
"Even the professor is scared..."
"Hahaha……"
"..."
Su Xiaomu scratched his head, "This is definitely not accurate, although I have a very deep understanding of file systems, data mining, and algorithms.
But I estimate that it will take a few months to re-research all these modules independently.”
"And it will probably take a long, long time to build a model for the project, no matter what, it will take half a year." Su Xiaomu calculated silently.
"If you add another piece, it will take at least 10 months."
"Did you miss the storage? Your understanding of the storage system is not shallow." Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
After that, the conversation changed.
"I decided to adopt Su Xiaomu's suggestion and independently research every part of the software for the entire project."
"Although it is difficult to apply for a patent on software, some parts can still have intellectual property rights. If we can independently develop an experimental environment suitable for the subject..."
Having said this, Zhang Ke paused.
"Express your opinions."
Xiong Zhengye smiled and said, "Since Junior Xiaomu said it only takes ten months, I don't have any objection. Just go ahead despite the difficulties!"
"I have no objection," said the doctor.
So the matter was settled.
"Okay, let me divide the tasks..." Zhang Ke waved his hand.
"First of all, let's start with the most basic distributed file system. This part is led by Su Xiaomu and cooperated by Tan Ling. It will start immediately..."
"In terms of distributed database, Dr. Xiong is in charge, and Xiong Zhengye is cooperating."
"Tan Ling is responsible for the parallel processing database, and Lin Tang is cooperating."
"..."
The initial tasks were arranged in minutes.
Then Zhang Ke clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
He said, "Okay, let's get moving and do the project. The most important thing is to be patient."
