Chapter 1866 of the main text of the Great Powers and the Tantan Chapter 1,866 of massive data "You kid, don't you have a computer here? Isn't it enough?" Qin Zhenhua was speechless. His son was so tragic that he felt very distressed.
There is obviously a computer here, but I specially bought a few small computers. This is not enough, so I have to hand it over to others for it? Qin Zhenhua was very dissatisfied.
Hearing his words, Qin Guoqing said: "Mini computers are not enough at all. What we need for such detailed simulations is a mainframe. By the way, if we provide the Galaxy 3 computer to us, it will be almost the same."
The development of domestic computers is very backward. Under the idea that it is better to buy them than to build them, the hardware of computers has been fully controlled by foreign countries. Qin Zhenhua also knew about these things. Back then, in order to conduct scientific research, the country spent a huge amount of money to purchase a supercomputer from abroad. However, although this supercomputer was bought back, it still required the permission of foreigners. The key to the computer was in the hands of foreigners. Without the consent of others, no programs could be calculated in China.
Under this insult, domestic computer research and development institutions began to work hard and finally developed their own supercomputer and had their own advanced computing power. Although the chips used by the computer are still from abroad, at least the whole machine is its own.
This kind of supercomputer is of great use. Take weather forecasts as an example. In the past, it could only predict the next day, and then it would be predicted for a week. This development is because of more advanced computers that can calculate larger data. In the field of national defense, this kind of supercomputer is also useful.
However, those are important areas of scientific research, such as ballistic missiles, which are used. Now? The small simulator that Qin Guoqing created actually uses that kind of supercomputer. When Qin Zhenhua heard him say this, he knew that this kid must have selfish intentions.
Just now, Liu Dajun had already agreed and said that he could get a satellite map of the army. This kid started to have a bad idea again and wanted more things, such as the current supercomputer, which must have been for his own use.
When Qin Zhenhua thought of this, his eyes became even more gloomy. You kid, you are not like you, you always want to make tricks. You have neglected discipline for years, how did this kid look like this?
It seems that Qin Zhenhua's gaze is not good. Qin Guoqing took a step back and said, "If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. Now, if you want to build a separate tank training system, you really can't use a supercomputer. However, if you want to integrate it, the computing data will be quite huge. Now, for a tank, we need all the computers in the entire computer room to operate. If it is a tank company or a tank battalion, how many computers are needed? Have you ever thought about it?
If the computing power cannot keep up, then, when we fire the shells here, the tank on the opposite side could have been hit, but the data transmission is too slow. When the shells data pass, the tank has already driven away. In this way, it will be judged as unstoppable. I can explain in advance that if that happens, it is not a problem with our program, but a problem with too slow computers. In the future, I heard that this system will be promoted to a large-scale exercise system for the army, so that more data is needed."
What Qin Guoqing said makes sense. After all, the data is indeed increasing. Now it is just a tank, simulated operation. In the future, if the entire army's exercises have a large amount of data and cannot be processed, the exercises will not be realistic.
Liu Dajun indeed frowned: "Is there no solution?"
Qin Guoqing nodded: "There are still ways, thanks to the great Moore. He has a Moore's law. The performance of computer hardware will double every 18 months and the price will be reduced by half. If it continues to develop at this rate, by 2020, the performance of an ordinary home computer will be as good as that of a large computer today. By that time, a few home computers can complete all the computing work."
Moore's Law appeared in 1975. This law has always guided the development of computer systems. Over the years, computer computing power has begun to develop towards GHZ. This was simply unimaginable when it used to have only a few hundred megahertz computing power. Now, we can also imagine how fast the computer system will develop in the future.
Of course, Qin Guoqing is still a bit too ideal. Although the performance of computer hardware will get better and better, the computer system will get bigger and bigger. Take the operating system as an example. One Windows XP has only one CD, a few hundred megabytes. By the time of win10, it will be more than a dozen G.
The various software of the computer will consume more and more hardware, but the performance has indeed improved. You can tell by looking at the displayed picture. The computer's screen display effect is becoming more and more beautiful and more detailed.
Qin Guoqing did not have a suitable computer at hand, so he did distributed computing, which is also a trend at the moment. After all, many computers on the Internet have surplus computing power, which can be used to provide help to other people who need computing power, and at the same time they can earn certain benefits. Why not do it? Not only computing power, but even storage space can be shared.
"This is not possible. We can't wait that far. By 2020, our group of people should retire." Liu Dajun said. Of course, he wouldn't wait that long. Qin Guoqing's words were too far away.
"This kid just wants good things." Qin Zhenhua said: "Dajun, don't be fooled by him. He is not up to the final decision of what kind of computer you need. I suggest organizing an expert group to accept this tank simulation system, and at the same time evaluate what kind of hardware equipment you need if it develops into an exercise system."
After hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Qin Guoqing gave him a blank look. Humph, he didn't believe me, so wait and see. At that time, the opinions of those expert groups will definitely scare you. Qin Guoqing firmly believes that he has not fooled him, and what he said is genuine.
