Chapter 210: The Fighter Among the Bear Children

The president of Qingyang University has maintained an unshakable habit for decades, that is, he has to take a nap at noon every day, even if it is only five minutes, he has to lie down for a while.

And everyone in the school knew his living habits, and almost no one would bother him during this period of time.

Even if there is something, Zhao Dongliang will help him to delay it as much as possible.

But today, not long after he lay down, he heard Zhao Dongliang's knock on the door: "Principal, something serious happened!"

"What's the matter? Can't we talk about it in the afternoon?" The principal scolded angrily.

"It's about Nanming." Zhao Dongliang said cautiously.

The principal said that as long as it is about Nanming, no matter what time it is, you must come to him.

Without him, Nan Ming is now the headmaster's key focus, and he wants to know about Nan Ming's every move as soon as possible.

"What happened? What happened to Nanming?" The principal's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he sat up with a grunt.

Zhao Dongliang reckoned that the principal had gotten up, walked in, helped the principal prepare clothes and coats, and said, "Principal, this morning, Dean Chen from the Institute of Computer Science and Information Technology came to me and said that he wanted to reopen the Supercomputing Research Institute. To rent it, you were in a meeting at the time, so I agreed to him first for you."

"Hmm..." The principal nodded, "You can decide this, but I remember that the supercomputer of the Institute of Computer Science and Information Technology is only a semi-finished product at all, and it can't run stably at all!"

"Yes..." Zhao Dongliang said, "So, just now there was news from the Institute of Computer Science and Technology that Nan Ming wanted to transform the supercomputer..."

"Nonsense!" The headmaster was completely Spartan.

You Nanming may have made achievements in brain neuroscience, perhaps in drones, or may have some strength in visual recognition, but in terms of high-performance computing, do you want to toss out something?

Supercomputers, which can be said to be the jewel on the crown of the entire computer industry, are not accessible to everyone.

Qingyang University managed to toss out such a treasure. According to the president's understanding, although its performance is not ranked at all, it still has some remarkable points in terms of structure.

If such a treasure is broken by Nan Ming, what should I do?

"Take me to take a look!" The principal ran out without putting on his coat.

At this moment, a military plane landed at a certain military airport in Qingyang. Under the escort of the army with live ammunition, a small box was protected by three layers inside and outside, and it was delivered to an armored vehicle, and then the armored vehicle roared away. .

After everyone was gone, Qing Zhongtang got out of the plane and slowly stepped down the gangway.

Beside him, there were several military doctors to take care of him. One of his arms was hoisted up, but his expression seemed to be that it was not him who was injured, but someone else.

At this time, Qingzhong Yang also followed the car to an underground building located in the Qingyang Supercomputing Center.

Qingyang Supercomputing Center is one of several supercomputing centers in China. In addition to the supercomputer on the bright side, there is also a shadow supercomputer, which is completely used for the military and military industry.

And because the structure of this supercomputer is similar to the new supercomputer under construction in the United States, it is used as a test platform for this code.

Whether you want to imitate or defend, you must first understand these codes.

The chip had just been delivered, and the entire supercomputing center was busy. Qingzhong Yang was waiting by the side. After a long time, he couldn't help but grab the person in charge of the supercomputing center and asked, "How is it?"

The person in charge of the Supercomputing Center smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's not that easy. It may take months or even years to figure out the code, let alone simulate its operating environment and make it run. Now, what we have now is not enough, if we can know what kind of architecture they are using, it would be better to get a parallel computing system, this is almost impossible..."

Qingzhong Yang took that code as an app installed on his phone, and he thought it would work after installing it.

"How could this be? Isn't my country's supercomputer always ranked first in the world? Can't we develop it ourselves?" Qingzhong Yang stared.

If you need intelligence personnel for everything, what's the use of you?

Although that fourth brother was annoying, how could Qingzhong Yang not be worried every time he watched him go through life and death?

The person in charge shook his head. For a layman like Qingzhong Yang, he probably only knows that China's Tianhe-2 is the world's number one supercomputer.

But in fact, the current domestic supercomputing field can only be regarded as a foreign power and a middling. On the surface, Tianhe-1 and Tianhe-2 have successively occupied the first place in the world's supercomputing rankings, and it seems that they can feel proud.

But in the overall structure of supercomputing in the world, China's position is actually very embarrassing.

Among the top500, China only occupies 63 units (the data in the article is from 2014, but in 2015 the overall figure has dropped to only 37 units, and the United States has 233 units. In the foreseeable future, because the manufacturing process has entered within 10nm, it is estimated that China There will be an even steeper decline...). The core and computing cards used by Tianhe-2 are all from Intel, and the domestic ones are only switches and cables. In terms of the most basic technology, there is still an unreachable gap with foreign countries.

The Titans and Sequoias of the United States are all domestic technology, and almost all the components of Japan’s Kyo come from Japan.

This is a generational difference in technology, a generational difference in foundation.

Sometimes thinking about it makes people feel hopeless.

Even Tianhe-2, not to mention the energy consumption that has been criticized by people, even the peak calculation data cannot escape the suspicion of running points for the sake of running points, just like the current domestic mobile phones, which have launched their own running It is divided into platforms and optimized for running score software. It is the same as talking about parameters without talking about experience. It is suspected of playing hooligans.

In fact, a supercomputer has been continuously optimized since its birth, so the efficiency of Tianhe-2 has been improved a lot, but the new supercomputer under construction in the United States has a theoretical value dozens of times that of Tianhe-2. It was completed in 2017 , the difference is an order of magnitude, but the energy consumption is almost or even lower, and this new supercomputer under construction may be the hardware that carries the monitoring code, at least it is inextricably related to it.

In other respects, Tianhe-2 also seriously lacks software that can give full play to its performance. Most of the software on Tianhe-2 can only give full play to 20% of its strength.

Such a big money-burner with a cost of more than one billion yuan and an annual energy consumption of nearly 200 million yuan is not something anyone can afford, but even such a Tianhe-2 is impossible to carry the power of this code design. The effect, not to mention their current station, is still far away from Tianhe-2. There are so many important projects in this world, it is impossible to do nothing for such a code. Who knows that this is not the first What about a second arms race to wear them down?

An arms race in the information age.

And even if they can figure out the code, they can only simulate it, find a way to resist, a defense mechanism, and if they want to play against each other, it is almost impossible to monitor each other.

Talking about the current situation to Qingzhong Yang, Qingzhong Yang was completely dumbfounded: "That is to say, all the things we have done are in vain?"

"It can't be said to be futile. It can only be gritted teeth, carrying other people's fists, and practicing internal skills hard." The person in charge smiled wryly.

It is not only the military who practice their internal skills hard? The entire computer science world is gritting its teeth and holding back its energy, thinking that one day it will be a miracle.

So even Qingyang University gritted their teeth and made a mini version that barely reached the threshold of supercomputing.

But even with such a supercomputer, not everyone can play it. You can see that Zhu Yangchao has struggled for more than ten years, but he only built a semi-finished product.

And such a semi-finished product, if it is broken by playing, what should we do?

At this moment, in the headmaster's heart, Nan Ming is the brat who takes out other people's figurines and doesn't know how precious they are.

Not only a brat, but also a fighter among brats!

"Confused! Confused!" The principal gave Chen Mingyuan a big cross in his heart, no matter how important Nan Ming is to you, you can't let him mess around like this! (To be continued.)
