Throughout July, Huang Haojie was busy in various research institutes.
at the same time.
The preliminary design of Star Map Company’s computing chip has finally been completed.
Du Wei and Zhang Rujing are in the chip production workshop.
"Du Wei, what is the computing power of the computing chip you designed?" Zhang Rujing asked curiously.
"Single block 6 trillion times per second?"
"so tall?"
"Dr. Zhang, have you forgotten the additive effect of conductors at room temperature?"
"Oh, I was confused." Zhang Rujing patted his head.
"With the addition of normal-temperature conductors, with the same process and number of transistors, the computing power of the conductor chip is increased by about 15o times."
This computing power seems to be not much different from the current computing chips on the market, but if you look carefully, you can know the terrible gap.
Take Shenwei 26o1o, the heart of the domestically produced "Shenwei Taihu Light", as an example.
Sunway 26o1o is a unique processor that adopts an on-chip integrated heterogeneous many-core architecture, an instruction set with independent intellectual property rights, and a complete supporting software ecosystem.
This unique architecture integrates 26o computing cores and billions of transistors in an area of 25 square centimeters, achieving a computing power of 3 trillion times per second.
The Sunway 26o1o processor integrates 26o computing cores, and its peak floating point computing performance is about the same level as Intel's Xeon Knights Landing computing chip.
However, please note that this processor has 26o cores, while Intel's Xeon Knights Landing has 72 cores.
In addition, Nvidia's Pascal chip has a floating-point computing capability of 5 trillion operations per second.
Whether it is Sunway 26o1o, Intel's Xeon, or Nvidia's Pascal chip, they all have one feature, and that is stacked cores.
Of course, Sunway has recently started designing a new generation of computing chips.
The computing chip designed by Star Map Company is single-core, which means that the single-core operation speed reaches 6 trillion times per second.
If Star Map Company does the same and builds a 72-core or 260-core system, the computing power will be sky-high.
The key is that since a single core can do it, why should I get multi-core?
"The first batch of chips has come off the production line, and the inspection results will be out soon," Zhang Rujing and Du Wei said.
The two came to the packaging, testing and packaging workshop.
"How?" Du Wei asked.
The workshop leader quickly came over with a report.
"The performance is very amazing. The peak calculation speed reaches 6.3 trillion operations per second, the average is 6.1 trillion operations per second, and the energy consumption per second per second is reduced by 167 times year-on-year. In addition, there are no major defects."
After Du Wei read the report.
"It seems that the Fengdu Group's computing chips can start to be built, so I would like to trouble Dr. Zhang and arrange to produce 17,000 computing chips first."
"Leave it to us! Tomorrow we will hand over 17,000 computing chips to Galaxy Computer Company." Zhang Rujing replied with a smile.
Galaxy Computer Company is the company responsible for computer construction and manufacturing.
Zhang Rujing suddenly remembered something.
"Du Wei, what name do you plan to give this computing chip?"
"Starlight 1 Processor."
"Starlight 1 processor? Okay, I'll let the packaging workshop print the name on it."
…
In fact, Galaxy Computer Company has already established the framework of super computers.
They prepared the card slot and other equipment of the super computer based on the computing chip design of Star Map Company.
Everything is ready. All we need is Dongfeng. As long as the computing chip designed by Star Map Company is produced by Galaxy Semiconductor.
Then they can immediately insert the chip into the card slot and adjust it.
This advanced computer specially designed for Fengdu Group is ready for use.
July 6th.
Galaxy Semiconductor first handed over 17,000 pieces of Starlight 1 processors that had been sealed and tested to Galaxy Computer Company.
Galaxy Computer Company brought this batch of Starlight 1 processors directly to the headquarters building of Fengdu Group in Pinghe Town, Haicheng County, Shanmei.
The Fengdu Group's first-class computer center is on the fifteenth floor of their headquarters building.
"Mr. Lin, let's install the chips and systems of the advanced computer." An engineer from Galaxy Computer Company explained to Lin Liangshen.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's have dinner here at noon!"
After Lin Liangshen exchanged a few words with the Galaxy Computer engineers, he arranged for his assistant to go to the computer room on their behalf.
It was chilly inside the computer room.
"Everyone, please take your place," the engineer team leader ordered.
"OK."
"Start immediately."……
More than twenty engineers began to install the Starlight 1 processor piece by piece into the card slot according to the division of labor.
Due to the powerful performance of the Starlight 1 processor, the size of this level of computer is only about 10 cubic meters. With other ancillary equipment, the total volume is less than 30 cubic meters.
In this computer room with an area of 5oo square meters, it is obviously extremely small.
"Wang Group, this class of computer is simply a work of art. With 17,000 Starlight 1 processors, it can rival Sunway's TaihuLight, and it only consumes less than 5,000 kilowatt hours a day." An engineer exclaimed in admiration.
"What is this? We are building a large-scale computing system with 500 billion operations per second, which is really powerful." Another engineer replied
Team leader Wang continued to install the chip without raising his head.
"Don't chat while working, lest you damage the chip."
"Uh..." Several engineers who were chatting suddenly laughed.
Since the card slots are designed in advance, their installation is very fast.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Starlight 1 processors were installed into the card slots.
"Phew! Done!"
"Okay, get ready to install the system." Team Leader Wang patted his sore shoulders and neck.
They went to the console and inserted a special memory into it.
Instantly, a reading bar popped up on the display.
1%...5%...99%
Whether to install it or not, Team Leader Wang immediately clicked Yes.
The operating system of this level of computer was developed by Zhongxing Group, and there are still subroutines in it.
The system was installed quickly.
"Go and notify Mr. Lin that the super computer is ready for use."
After a while, Lin Liangshen came to the computer room with a dozen programmers.
"Team Leader Wang, is it ready for use?"
Team leader Wang nodded: "It's ready for use. You can try it out."
"You guys give it a try." Lin Liangshen turned around and ordered the person in charge of the computing center beside him.
"Okay, Mr. Lin." The person in charge of the computing center quickly got busy with a dozen programmers.
This first-class computer center of Fengdu Group is a disguised single-channel computer, which means that the computing center can access the Internet, but other terminals on the Internet cannot access the computing center.
In fact, it is not impossible to access, but only with Zhong’s permission can you access the computing center. Without Zhong’s permission, even hackers from all over the world will not be able to break through the computing center’s firewall.
The person in charge of the computing center activated the information exfiltration function in the system. In an instant, this super computer with a computing power of 10 billion operations per second activated 10% of the power.
Invisible instructions and information quickly spread to the Dongtang Internet.
Prices of vegetables, fruits and grains across the country were sorted out in less than ten minutes.
The multimedia projector on the side will soon generate various charts.
"Contact the Green Earth City in various places and ask them to report local vegetable and fruit prices to the head office's information collection system." Lin Liangshen told his assistant.
After a while, the computing center took over the information collection system of Fengdu Group, and the programmers who were operating the system quickly compared the data collected by Green Earth City.
"Mr. Lin, it's accurate."
"Okay, now our Fengdu Group is even more powerful." Lin Liangshen was also under great pressure.
After all, among the various groups of Galaxy Technology, Fengdu Group suffered the most serious losses and was seriously hindered.
Although he knows that this is a strategic loss, he can recover his blood as soon as possible, so who wouldn't want to.
