The Cost of the Hk856 Supercomputer, Raphael Strikes!
The world's public supercomputers perform two calculation "performance" rankings every year to determine the world's top 500 supercomputers. Usually, the top-ranked supercomputers are owned by national research institutions.
Whether it is a commercial company or a private research institution, the supercomputer used will not be too "perfect". However, the supercomputer hidden in the dark may have a more powerful existence.
The Council of Angels has hidden the holiness of supercomputers. The sacred computing "performance" of supercomputers ranks fourth in the world, but it is not known to the outside world at all. The supercomputer is sacred and belongs to the secret weapon of the Angel Council, and it has made many contributions to the Angel Council.
Think about the fact that the Angel Council has a supercomputer that can calculate "performance" up to 80tblps, and can be used 100% fully, and can even be overclocked to improve "performance". How sharp would their hacking behavior be?
Fortunately, supercomputers are sacred, generally under the control of the first and second giants, not Raphael and Uriel. Otherwise, with Raphael's "sex" personality, the trouble of Dream Entertainment will be big, and Raphael has to look for the trouble of Dream Entertainment every three days.
The wealth that the Council of Angels extracts every year is considerable, and even in the age of 2000, it earns at least a billion dollars a year. With such a huge amount of wealth, there is still no supercomputer with the highest computing performance in the world. That is because the input cost and maintenance cost of supercomputers are very high.
In the 1990s, the cost of a supercomputer with a computing "performance" that could reach ktflps computing speed was about $100 million. If Dream Entertainment wanted to build a supercomputer with a computing speed of 360tflps, only the cost of core components would have to be invested. Around $300 million.
A supercomputer is different from a personal computer. A personal computer just assembles a bunch of parts and turns it into a computer. The assembly is almost no difficulty, and an er with a little computer knowledge can easily complete it.
The assembly of supercomputers is not a simple task. It is a 'stacking work' that can be completed by assembling a large number of parts. The design and assembly of supercomputers is very complicated. The supercomputers of the era are all third-generation supercomputers. There is no corresponding technology, and the assembly of supercomputers is absolutely completed. [
Before Shi Lei's rebirth, the supercomputer went through four generations of technology. The first generation of supercomputers is almost no different from ordinary computers, and is also composed of a main controller, storage, arithmetic unit, and input and input devices. The difference is that the first generation of supercomputers is just a specially designed pu to improve the computing speed and increase the computing "performance" of the system.
The defects of the first-generation supercomputer are very obvious. When the computing power of a single pu core is improved, how to reduce power consumption and solve problems such as heat dissipation, so that the first-generation supercomputer can quickly withdraw from the stage.
Due to the shortcomings of the first generation supercomputer, the second generation supercomputer replaced it. Compared with the first-generation supercomputer, the main change of the second-generation supercomputer is to increase the number of PUs, that is, multi-core processing. However, the second generation of supercomputing did solve some of the problems of the first generation of supercomputing, but new problems appeared again.
The second generation of supercomputers has many defects, especially the common memory and maintenance cache issues, which are very difficult to deal with and there is almost no way to avoid them. This problem has resulted in very limited expansion of the second-generation supercomputers.
Coupled with the increase in computing cores, the speed improvement has become quite limited. The second generation of supercomputers also left the scene.
The third generation of supercomputers became the mainstream of high-end supercomputers in 2008. Almost all high-end supercomputers have adopted the technical standards of third-generation supercomputers.
The third-generation supercomputer mainly adopts a distributed multi-processor architecture, using multiple independent PUs to perform the same task, and at the same time adopts a distributed storage system. Each independent PU and independent memory constitute a node inside the supercomputer. ·Therefore, the maintenance problem of common memory and cache of the second-generation supercomputer is avoided, and the extended "performance" is also quite excellent.
The technology of the third generation of supercomputers is still in use until Shi Lei is reborn! However, the third generation of supercomputer technology is not without flaws. Like some other more perfect technologies, all aspects of performance are very good, except for the cost. The only disadvantage of the third-generation supercomputer technology is the high cost.
Shi Lei secretly calculated in his heart that if he wanted to assemble a supercomputer that could achieve a computing speed of 300mps, in addition to the material cost of 300 million US dollars, he would also need at least 100 million US dollars in additional costs.
This additional cost of 100 million US dollars is mainly used for storage architecture development, "operating" system development, editing platform development, and data transmission technology. In addition, there are also very high requirements in terms of energy consumption control and manufacturing process.
Even though Shi Lei owns Yizuer, as an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system, Yizuer is actually a supercomputer "operating system", which saves the development cost of supercomputer "operating" system, but it still costs a lot of money!
Dream Entertainment has a lot of money on its books. It spent $1 to acquire m company, leaving $2.7 billion in Dream Entertainment's books. Although it may seem that it is not a big problem to allocate $400 million from $2.7 billion to build the world's number one supercomputer, it is definitely not!
Dream Entertainment has many plans in the future, including the wholly-owned M company, the development of smartphone production business, the construction of Mi Rui Technology Headquarters, the establishment of a scientific research center in the Yellow Delta region, and even Shi Lei has plans to build a secret on Meishan Island in Nanyue. submarine base.
No matter which plan it is, the money consumed is not a small amount, especially the last plan, it is simply a bottom hole. Shi Lei really didn't know how much money a secret submarine base would cost!
"The calculation of the s system is completed, and it is initially estimated that it will cost 325 million US dollars, including the purchase cost of all the core components of the supercomputer, the related system development costs, and the corresponding site purchase and supporting installation costs." Izuer reported a price to Shi Lei. [
Shi Lei was stunned. Why was the result calculated by Yizuer almost a hundred million dollars less than the result he estimated?
"Yizul, how did you calculate the result?" Shi Lei asked.
Izuer displayed the comprehensive data of all payments through the projector, and Shi Lei found the reason. The supercomputer designed by Izuer adopts the opttern series PU produced by M company, which is what Xia Guo called the 'Opteron, series of computing processing chips.
The company is currently a subsidiary of Dream Entertainment Corporation. Although it is not a wholly-owned subsidiary, it is already an absolutely controlled subsidiary. The prices of its own products are naturally cheap!
Shi Lei patted his forehead, but he was habitually forgetting the m company. The m company is indeed some distance away from the untel company in terms of technology.
"Damn Izull, it's 100 million dollars cheaper, and it's not allowed to make such a high-end supercomputer!" Shi Lei said depressedly. The disadvantage of the third-generation supercomputer is cost control. Shi Lei needs a period of time to study the fourth-generation supercomputer. Technical issues of supercomputing.
The fourth-generation supercomputer has all the advantages of the third-generation supercomputer, and also slightly makes up for the shortcomings of the third-generation supercomputer, reducing a lot of costs, and has better efficiency in the utilization of computing resources. Especially in terms of energy consumption, the fourth-generation supercomputers do better.
Although Shi Lei does not plan to build a 300mpt supercomputer, he still plans to assemble and manufacture a high-performance supercomputer. Anyway, company m is currently a subsidiary of Dream Entertainment, and company m has a complete set of supercomputers. Technology, no need for nothing!
"The real p addresses of all intruders in sr have been tracked down!" Yizuer reminded Shi Lei.
Shi Lei's eyes lit up, and he sneered: "Are the real p-addresses of the intruders all located in the Xia country?" Shi Lei expected when he was dealing with the intrusion problem that the hacker who invaded Dream Entertainment was most likely Xia. The power of the country, and even those damn online game operators.
‘Mr. Ma, I don’t know if your big penguins will be involved this time? , Shi Lei guessed in his heart, after the big penguin was cleaned up by Dream Entertainment, will he continue to look for himself.
However, this time Shi Lei obviously miscalculated. He underestimated Mr. Ma's courage. Big Penguin is not afraid at all. Big Penguin is the mastermind of this attack! He even brought out the Angel Council, and asked the Angel Council to follow Mr. Ma's plan and prepare to deal with the Dream Entertainment Company.
"The specific data of sr has been projected, please check it." Izuer projected the data. The real p addresses of the more than 150 hackers were distributed. Except for a very few people who were overseas, all the rest were in the Xia country.
Shi Lei's eyes turned cold, staring at the location of Pengcheng in Dongguang Province on the map, marked with twenty-four intruders. The members of Big Penguin's Broken Knife Team are currently all in Pengcheng, and the number is exactly 20.
"Twisted Vine!" Shi Lei snorted coldly, "You are stalking me from behind again!"
If Ma Huateng was sitting opposite Shi Lei, he would definitely tell Shi Lei proudly, 'I'm his "hair" is Yin you, what can you do to me? ,
Angel Council, secret voice communication channel.
Raphael, the sword of flame, suddenly issued an order: "Sunlight, moonlight, prepare to attack the wmb server of Dream Entertainment's official website of the Brave World!"
