Chapter 2959: Time-Related Algorithms, Meta-Thinking Compilation

However, Xia Duo only offered a slight reminder; he knew that Niya actually did not like working overtime either, but she simply wanted too much to lead a major Mythallar update.

"Don't do this next time; let the others go back to rest first. I came here because I have good news to tell you."

"Mm."

Niya turned to tell the assistants who were still busy to finish for the day, then walked with Xia Duo to a temporary rest area in the corner of the Laboratory and asked curiously:

"What good news is it that you came over specifically to tell me?"

"The Alliance Public Computing Resource Pool has undergone grid-connection testing. Would you say that is good news, my dear wife? As the person in charge of the Computing Power Pool project, I now invite you to become an external tester for the project. Please, test to your heart's content!"

Before the Public Computing Power Pool was initially built, Xia Duo had also shared the Alliance's Spirit Thought Network with Niya, but its scale was limited after all, and it could mostly only be used to spark inspiration; it was slightly inferior in other aspects.

But now, with a Spirit Thought Network of nearly seven thousand Mages, whether it was for sparking inspiration or pure computing power, it far exceeded previous standards. Even if Xia Duo chased away the assistants from Niya's Laboratory now, she could still use the Public Computing Power Pool to conduct a major review of past research and plan for further research ahead.

And being an "external tester" meant she could push her Permission Level for using the Public Computing Power Pool to the limit, which was something far out of reach before.

Previously, the main body of the Spirit Thought Network was the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, along with some Mage volunteers, and most of the computing power had to be provided to the researchers at the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

……

Once it is officially put into operation, one must consider the balance of payments and the issue of profit distribution. Surplus computing power will be packaged as additional Computing Power Pool permissions and sold to various parties, eventually converted into Gold Coins to subsidize each country.

I am confident in being able to finalize a programming language based on the Mind Network (Subconscious Information, Meta-Thinking) after the invention of the Magic Computer!

It just so happens that Xia Duo has expertise in that area!

As for the specific operation, Xia Duo has not fully thought it through yet; there is only a line of thought that is still not quite clear at the moment. After all, computing power is not an apple on a tree—if you don't eat it today, you can't leave it for tomorrow.

It is impossible!

And now, in the name of testing, Niya can completely monopolize the vast majority of the surplus computing power. Such an opportunity will likely only exist before the Computing Power Pool is officially put into operation.

The fees they provide are still settled based on direct calculation, but in reality, they use a more efficient method. In this way, the computing power saved at the same moment can be sold to others or used for other purposes!

Computing power is a special resource generated in real-time; if it is not used at the time, it is wasted afterward. In this regard, it is a bit like power, and power can be rented out. The Computing Power Pool is essentially an optimized allocation of computing power on a spatial level.

This is a bit easier than the research and manufacturing of a General Magic Computer. It does not require any super-high-end hardware support; it only needs a basic Mind Network, and it is within Xia Duo's professional scope. This point is very critical.

Even if Xia Duo could be allocated many shares, and even if he gave all those shares to Niya, it would actually be very limited.

But over time, it is still a significant number. Whether it is for distributing benefits within the Psionic Network Research Center or for personal use, it is all up to Xia Duo, the person in charge.

Of course, not being that convenient does not mean it is gone. To ensure the most basic bonus effect of the Public Computing Power Pool, a portion of computing power redundancy must always be reserved. This portion can be excluded from regulatory data during actual operation.

The computing power in reality can only be allocated on a spatial level and cannot be directly delayed for use, but clever people on Earth discovered that many calculation problems are repetitive. So, could one collect these repetitive problems and then directly call up the results the next time a calculation is needed?

Among one hundred connected Mages, if eighty of them have surplus computing power, without a Computing Power Pool, their computing power would be wasted in vain. But now, by connecting to the Computing Power Pool, while satisfying their own needs, they can also provide it for others to use.

And the efficiency of directly calling up results is far higher than calculating directly! This creates arbitrage space for cloud computing service providers.

However, because the number and quality of Mages connected to the Computing Power Pool at the same time are uncertain, if all surplus computing power were distributed equally, on one hand, some Mages would not need it at all, and on the other hand, the bonus effect would be unstable.

Of course, I don't have a definite timeline for exactly when it will be completed. The hardest part of this matter is the first step—making a Meta-Thinking Compiler. Once there is this compiler, the subsequent steps will naturally fall into place.

While Niya was connected to the Public Computing Power Pool to organize her past research and experiments, Xia Duo thought again about the Psionic Mages in the south. The Alliance side had mentioned before that they would invite several Psionic Mages to join the Psionic Network Research Center.

Such a method can also be used in the Public Computing Power Pool designed based on the Spirit Thought Network, it is just that Xia Duo does not yet have a clue as to how to specifically implement it.

More importantly, it can fully utilize the surplus computing power of every computer in the network.

After all, to truly realize such a function is basically equivalent to creating a set of programming languages, or laws of order, based on the Spirit Thought Network.

Xia Duo is very much looking forward to this.

The most critical thing is that the regulatory personnel sent by various countries are also about to enter the scene. By then, it will not be as convenient to operate like this.

Even adding the bonus effect for each connected user, generally speaking, there is still a large amount of surplus computing power. This portion of surplus computing power can be completely converted into a bonus effect for every connected user, or it can be used to do other things.

Of course, it is not an invitation directly from Zhamu Dasi in the south, but an invitation from a Psionic Magic Society in Evereska. In the past, Psionic Magic was not respected in the Northland; only a neutral and open place like Evereska could preserve some of it.

This is the resource integration and optimized allocation role of the Computing Power Pool on a spatial level. While it is indeed impossible to directly delay use on a temporal level, it is not without clever tricks.

Xia Duo's understanding of electronic computers is not particularly deep. Wanting to invent a Magic Computer is too difficult, almost equivalent to starting from zero, but a programming language is different; it is almost a tool of the trade.

On Earth, there exists something called cloud computing, or distributed computing. Simply put, it is distributing a calculation task to multiple computers in the network to improve efficiency.

Instability greatly affects one's state of mind, which is why Xia Duo decided to take a relatively fixed bonus effect, while the remaining surplus computing power is used for redundancy or other purposes.

He did not delay the use of surplus computing power, but rather squeezed out a portion of surplus from the current Computing Power Pool through a more efficient method (algorithm).
