Chapter 107: The research and development of supercomputer exceeding 10 billion times was successful! (1/5 please subscribe)

"Mr. Zhao, you will be the leader of this project team."

Su Jiu looked at Zhao Yuan and said with a smile.

He has also gotten to know each other, and is indeed the most suitable to be the team leader among this group of people.

"Don't worry, director, I won't let you down, old man."

Zhao Yuan nodded and did not refuse.

"Okay, in that case, let's start preparing."

Su Jiu said with a smile.

Now Research Institute No. 9 has nine project teams, and the number has expanded to more than 2,800 people.

Fortunately, the scale of the institute was expanded before.

Nowadays, even if the research institute has 5,000 people conducting research and development, there will be no problem at all.

And underground bases are also being built.

Su Jiu had visited it before, and it was even larger in scale. It was built to the size of 10,000 people.

However, because the project is relatively large, it should take another month or two to complete the construction successfully.

Research Institute No. 9 will not be moving in the short term.

For a period of time after that, Su Jiu had been in Research Institute No. 9, paying attention to the progress of nine projects.

Among them, the fastest progress is the research and development of heterogeneous supercomputing systems.

The so-called supercomputer is, to be precise, a supercomputer.

In this field, Heavenly Court is among the top ranks in the world, but it is not the most powerful.

Super computing is a necessity for big countries and an important means to solve major challenging problems in the fields of national economic construction, social development, national defense construction and other fields. It has become the strategic commanding heights that countries around the world compete for.

The application fields of supercomputing are very wide, involving more than 20 aspects such as weather and climate, aerospace, biomedicine, etc.

It supports hundreds of solving tasks in many major scientific and technological applications, advanced manufacturing and other fields.

Currently, the most powerful supercomputer in heaven is the 'Shenwei TaihuLight'.

This supercomputer is equipped with 40,960 'Shenwei 26010' many-core processors independently developed by Tianting.

This many-core processor uses a 64-bit independent Sunway instruction system.

Peak performance is 1.25 exaflops/second and sustained performance is 930 exaflops/second.

This supercomputer was once ranked first in the world.

However, it only sat on the top spot for five years before being defeated by the Summit supercomputer developed by the Free State.

Apex Supercomputing is led by IBM, and the entire super system consists of 4,608 computing nodes.

Each node contains two 22-core IBM Power9 processors and six NVIDIA Tesla V100 graphics processing unit accelerators.

And it can provide a peak floating point operation speed of up to 20 billion times per second.

What kind of terrifying concept is equivalent to 2 billion floating-point operations per second?

Suppose a person can perform one operation per second.

Then he needs to live for more than 6.3 billion years to be able to match the computing power of Apex Supercomputing per second.

Vertex Supercomputing is also a big thing, with 4608 nodes each being the size of a refrigerator.

The total weight reaches 340 tons and is placed in a room of nearly 900 square meters.

The cables connecting these nodes alone are nearly 300 kilometers long.

A big guy like this generates terrible heat when doing calculations.

Every minute of operation requires a flow of 15,000 liters of coolant.

And it consumes enough electricity to light more than 8,000 homes.

The supercomputer Su Jiu wants to develop this time is not that big.On the contrary, it seems a little compact, but its computing power far exceeds that of the vertex supercomputer.

The core of supercomputing is the chip.

If it were before, given the situation in the field of Tianting chips, it would still be difficult to develop a stronger supercomputer.

But it's different now, because the No. 9 Research Institute has developed the world's top lithography machine and has made huge breakthroughs in chips.

One month after the supercomputing project team was established, Su Jiu came to the area where the project team was located.

"Su Suo, this supercomputer is in the final testing stage. As long as there are no problems, it means that our research and development is completely successful."

More than 300 people from the project team gathered around nervously.

In the middle, there is a huge bright silver metal box.

This is the supercomputer that their project team spent more than a month developing.

This supercomputer is only the size of three refrigerators.

But everyone understands that the performance of this supercomputer has far exceeded all supercomputers in the world.

While everyone was waiting, the last test officially began.

Su Jiu also saw a large amount of data flashing on the screen, and his eyes could no longer keep up with the speed of the data flashing.

After waiting for about an hour, with everyone's expectant eyes, the leader of the project team excitedly came to Su Jiu again.

"Director, we have succeeded. We have successfully developed a new generation of supercomputer!"

The team leader said almost tremblingly.

Everyone at the scene cheered when they heard this.

After a month of hard work, they finally succeeded in developing it.

"This supercomputer has far exceeded the world's top supercomputer. The floating point performance has reached 598.41PFLOPS, the memory capacity has reached 21.6PB, and the storage capacity has reached 98PB."

"And because our supercomputer is more streamlined, the power consumption is only 0.59MW. The most important thing is its peak floating point operation speed, which has reached 16 billion petaflops per second."

"..."

As the team leader talked about each piece of data, the light in Su Jiu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

With this supercomputer, it means that it will be easier for him to develop black technologies like mechas in the future.

"Okay, okay!"

"Thank you for your hard work this time. I will contact the above immediately to apply for a patent. At the same time, in addition to three days of rest, everyone will receive a bonus of 10 million."

Su Jiu laughed.

There are more than 300 people, and each person receives a bonus of 10 million, which is equivalent to more than 3 billion.

But Su Jiu didn't care about the money at all, because the value of this supercomputer was already well over three billion.

And he is not short of money at all now.

In his eyes, there is no difference between money and numbers, and there is no reality like a supercomputer.

Su Jiu didn't know how much money the Su Group had now.

But his father had revealed to him before that he had prepared 500 billion waiting for him to use it at any time.

If spending money could lead to the development of various black technologies, Su Jiu would not hesitate at all.

After hearing Su Jiu's words, everyone at the scene also smiled.

Their annual salary already exceeds one million, and now the bonus for a successful research and development completely exceeds their annual salary.

And at this time, they no longer care much about money.

Because they used to be the core talents of major companies, and there were many people with annual salaries of millions.

Compared with money, they now prefer the sense of accomplishment of successful research and development.

Then Su Jiu also came outside the institute and dialed Liu Minghai's number directly.

"Mr. Liu, I want to apply for a patent!"

Just as the call was connected, Su Jiu spoke directly.

Liu Minghai paused and almost didn't react.

But soon his heart trembled, because this was not the first time Su Jiu applied for a patent.

The first two patent applications have caused a sensation all over the world.

Although he didn't know what the other party had developed this time.

But he heard a hint of excitement in Su Jiu's words, and he might have created another scientific research product that shocked the world.

"Brother Su, what did your No. 9 Research Institute develop this time?"

With curiosity, Liu Minghai asked.

The more contact he had with Su Jiu, the less he cared about his identity, and his name for Su Jiu had changed.

"Supercomputer, a supercomputer that can reach 16 billion floating-point operations per second!"

Su Jiu said.

".‖What? Achieved 16 billion petaflops of floating point operations per second?"

Hearing this, even though Liu Minghai had already been prepared, he was still shocked by Su Jiu's words.

What does it mean to have a supercomputer that exceeds exaflops?

You must know that the top one in the world now is only the 20 petaflop in Free Country.

It is equivalent to the data developed by Su Jiu that exceeds eight times, and the actual technology is at least tens of millions of times different.

If there is such an exascale supercomputer in heaven, scientific research in any field will be greatly assisted.

"Brother Su, I will arrange this immediately!"

Liu Minghai did not dare to hesitate at all, and hung up the phone after speaking.

At the same time, he walked outside and reported the matter to the boss.

When the boss found out, he was also shocked.

But then he burst out laughing, because the emergence of this supercomputer gave him hope for the rise of heaven.

Even Su Jiu became more and more confident in developing a war mecha.

Maybe the other party can develop a war mecha in less than two years.

"Quickly, arrange the patent matters immediately."

"In addition, let me know and warm up this matter immediately. Our heaven will shock the world again!"

The boss also said excitedly that having fun alone is not as good as having fun together. Of course, this kind of thing should be celebrated by the whole world.

Liu Minghai nodded and hurriedly went to arrange related matters.

Also on this day, on the Internet, major official media once again released a picture.

The content of the picture is exactly the same as a month ago: at twelve o'clock tonight, something big will be announced.

"It feels like something big (good for Li) is going to happen again. I don't know what will be announced this time."

"I'm so excited. Do you think it will be the No. 9 Research Institute again? What scientific research has been successful? After all, the last time I got this kind of treatment was a lithography machine."

"No matter what, no one can sleep tonight."

"With so many official accounts preheating at the same time, this must be a big deal. My heart is not very good, so I will go to the hospital in advance to get a seat."

When they saw this news, everyone in heaven became excited again.

Because the last time this happened was when the photolithography machine was announced.

The impact caused at that time is still fresh in their minds even now.

At the same time, even foreign countries have noticed the movements in Heaven and are also curious about what Heaven will announce.

CEOs from various countries are also a little nervous.

I always feel that what Heaven is going to announce this time will definitely be very detrimental to them.

For a time, except for Heaven, the whole world began to pay attention eagerly, waiting for Heaven to announce the important event.

On the other side, Su Jiu's patent application quickly passed the review.

With the help of the state, all procedures were completed as quickly as possible.

While the whole world is waiting, the time in heaven gradually reaches midnight.

Amid the expectations of everyone in heaven and the anxiety of everyone abroad, a piece of news was sent out...
