Chapter 656: Huge Donation

Not long after Qingda Lazy God opened its source, various donations came in one after another.

The so-called donation is one of the main income methods of open source projects.

Open source projects also need to make money, otherwise there is no way to maintain them continuously, and the main ways for open source projects to make money are as follows: first, donate; second, charge service fees; third, open source a common version, and then develop an advanced The paid version; fourth, follow-up paid development, function customization, software development.

The open source method is like selling hardware at a low price and making money from software, such as game consoles such as PS and xbox.

The open source project of Qingda Lazy God, the hardware part is a set of supercomputing custom specifications and technical documents, and the software part is a set of operating systems, which are compatible with each other. A supercomputing can be built with supercomputing custom specifications and technical documents alone. , you can also install the Qingda Lazy God operating system for the existing supercomputer, or both.

But no matter which way the system is installed, it is just an empty shell, like a computer that has just been reinstalled, with only basic functions and very few pre-installed programs. The advanced programs running on it are not open source. .

Therefore, Nanming has already made preparations for no one to fully install it on its own supercomputing even after it is open source, because programs need to be re-ported or adapted for different systems.

Nan Ming felt that they might use certain modules instead of copying them all.

Supercomputing does not run on the same system for the entire computer. In fact, almost every node has its own independent system, and the communication module also has its own independent program. Then, these nodes are assembled, managed and deployed in a unified way, and finally a supercomputing is formed. It is like the collection of cells to form various organisms.

Communication module, control center, resource allocation, each module can make a big fuss.

But in fact, there are many more people who directly install the Qingda Lazy God system than Nan Ming imagined.

After Qingda Lazy God released the open source code, a large number of "garage supercomputing" owners tried the Qingda Lazy God system.

The people who can afford the "Garage Supercomputing" are some supercomputing practitioners who build a supercomputing machine at home for their own research, some are supercomputing enthusiasts, and some are idle rich people. Anyway, there are no poor people.

So on the first day, dozens of donations flew in intermittently, ranging from a few dozen dollars to a few thousand dollars at most, from an American farmer who likes supercomputers.

Data computing is also an investment. Some people use it to mine Bitcoin, and some people use it to complete some distributed computing projects, but no matter which one, when faced with amazing performance improvements, they will Can't help but be happy.

Moreover, Qingda Lazy God is very friendly to small and medium supercomputers. It comes with a supercomputing simulator with less than 10,000 cores, which can simulate loading some programs running on other systems. Even if there is a performance loss after the simulation, but Still much higher performance than before.

Although it was just a mosquito leg, the mosquito leg was also meat, Nan Ming was quite satisfied.

On the third day after Qingda Lazy God opened the source, the first large donation appeared on the account of the supercomputing department.

Su Hongyi is now also the boss of the independent supercomputing department—now called Lanshen Supercomputing—and he will be notified in time for any large amount of changes in the company's account.

When this large donation arrived, Su Hongyi was being treated like a dog.

Nonsense, whoever spent 700 million bought Lanshen Technology's "technical support for no less than seven working days" would treat this guy worth 100 million a day like a dog.

Su Hongyi is very conscientious, after all, this is Lanshen Chaosuan's first big business, so he has to leave a good reputation.

While he was busy sticking out his tongue, Su Hongyi's cell phone beeped, and he took it out to take a look, and then his eyes widened.

"Damn it, no way!"

"What's the matter?" Bai Songtang came over with a glass of water and handed it to Su Hongyi. Although he felt that Su Hongyi had tricked him, strictly speaking he was a technician and he was not in charge of the business, let alone spent 700 million. Even if it cost seven billion, it has nothing to do with him.

But the improvement of Tianhe-2's computing efficiency is real.

So Bai Songtang actually took good care of Su Hongyi, but at this moment he was taken aback and worried.

What's wrong?

"I'm counting zeros..." Su Hongyi felt dizzy.

His cell phone rang several times today, and the amount donated, more than 1,000 US dollars, is considered too much.

The 700 million yuan for Tianhe-2 is still delayed, and his separate account only has a measly 100,000 US dollars.

But just now, a huge donation was recorded.

Su Hongyi glanced over and thought it might be 200 million.

Then he counted again: "1, 2, 3, 4..."

That's right, there are 2 in front and 8 zeros in the back!

200000000!

And, the sign behind it is... $, the dollar sign!

200 million dollars!

By Nan Ming's side, it can be regarded as seeing too many big numbers.

Last time, a magnetic fluid propulsion device was sold by Nanming for a sky-high price of 3 billion US dollars.

But it is a military product, and the market is extremely small. Maybe the United States will buy such a set, whether it is expensive or cheap, and it can be bought and sold at one blow.

If it becomes popular on a large scale in the future, the price will definitely come down.

Going forward, the order that can be calculated in billions of dollars seems to be the prototype of the physical interference stem cell produced by the Institute of Biology and Medicine, and the largest order for powered exoskeletons.

If it was Nan Ming himself, there would be more than two billion dollars in assets of the NONE Asia Department obtained from Lao Qi, which is more than half of the shares of Suzhan Xihe, not cash.

Lanshen Technology's earliest main business, drones, has been working hard for several months before saving 200 million US dollars in sales. This is still sales, not profits.

Years ago, Lazy Technology’s sales were only RMB 5 billion, or about US$800 million.

The assets of the entire lazy god system are less than six billion US dollars.

And now, his first large donation is 200 million US dollars.

"Brother Bai, show me how much it is?" Su Hongyi felt that his eyesight was not enough.

Bai Songtang's eyes were almost cross-eyed, staring at the numbers, counting one by one, "1, 2, 3...this is... 200 million?"

The current general accounting method is to use a comma every three zeros.

One comma is thousands, two commas are millions, three commas are billions, only two commas, and the first number is 200.

That is the so-called 200million.

That's right, 200 million.

"Really." Su Hongyi was not convinced, and counted in the most stupid way: "one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..."

That's right, 200 million!

According to the current exchange rate, it is 1.3 billion RMB!

Lazy God became independent, and Nan Ming gave him and Han Dong each 15% of the shares, that is to say, 30 million US dollars belonged to his assets-his personal assets had exceeded 200 million yuan!

Wait, it's impossible.

A minute ago, he was just a so-called "billionaire", and now he really is.

"Fuck me, where did this local tycoon come from? He gave us 200 million dollars!"

In Su Hongyi's best prediction, he never expected that Lanshen's super-accurate start would be so popular!

It is simply red fried!

Su Hongyi quickly turned on his phone, wanting to check.

But before he checked, he received a call from Han Dong: "Boss, check your account!"

"I saw it, where did the money come from?"

"Lord in the Middle East, King Abdull University of Science and Technology!" Dongdao Han, "They also contacted me and said they wanted to entrust us to develop a new set of simulation software to simulate new oil extraction technology. The price is negotiable! Wahahaha, Now please call me Han Yiwan!" (To be continued.)
