Chapter 158 Starlight Processor

Throughout July, Huang Haojie was busy in various research institutes.

at the same time.

Star Map's supercomputing chip has finally been preliminarily designed.

Du Wei and Zhang Rujing are in the chip production workshop.

"Du Wei, what is the computing speed of the supercomputing chip you designed?" Zhang Rujing asked curiously.

"Single block 6 trillion operations per second?"

"so tall?"

"Dr. Zhang, have you forgotten the additive effect of room temperature superconductors?"

"Oh, I was confused." Zhang Rujing patted himself on the head.

"With the addition of room-temperature superconductors, with the same process and number of transistors, the computing speed of superconducting chips has increased by about 150 times."

This calculation speed seems to be not much different from the supercomputing chips currently on the market, but if you observe carefully, you can know the terrible gap.

Take Shenwei 26010, the heart of the domestically produced "Shenwei Taihu Light", as an example.

Shenwei 26010 is a unique processor, which adopts on-chip fusion heterogeneous many-core architecture, instruction set with independent intellectual property rights and complete supporting software ecosystem.

This unique architecture integrates 25 computing cores and billions of transistors in a square inch of 260 square centimeters, achieving a computing power of 3 trillion operations per second.

The Shenwei 26010 processor integrates 260 computing cores, and its peak floating-point computing speed is about the same level as Intel's Xeon Knights Landing computing chip.

Note, though, that this processor has 260 cores, while Intel's Xeon Knights Landing has 72 cores.

In addition, Nvidia's Pascal chip has a floating-point computing capability of 5 trillion operations per second.

Whether it is Shenwei 26010, Intel's Xeon, or Nvidia's Pascal chip, they all have one feature, that is, the stack core.

Of course, Shenwei has recently started designing a new generation of supercomputing chips.

The supercomputing chip designed by Xingtu Company is single-core, that is, the single-core computing speed reaches 6 trillion operations per second.

If Xingtu Company does the same, and builds something with 72 cores or 260 cores, then the computing speed can break through the sky.

The key is that since single-core can do it, why should I engage in multi-core?
"The first batch of chips has come off the production line, and the inspection results will come out soon." Zhang Rujing and Du Wei said.

The two came to the packaging, testing and packaging workshop.

"How?" Du Wei asked.

The workshop team leader hurried over with a report.

"The performance is amazing. The peak computing speed reaches 6.3 trillion operations per second, and the average value is 6.1 trillion operations per second. The energy consumption per second decreases by 167 times year-on-year. In addition, no major defects have been found."

After Du Wei looked at the report.

"It seems that Fengdu Group's supercomputing can start to be built, so please ask Dr. Zhang to arrange the production of 1.7 supercomputing chips first."

"Leave it to us! Tomorrow, 1.7 supercomputing chips will be handed over to Xinghe Computer Company." Zhang Rujing replied with a smile.

Galaxy Computer Company is the company responsible for the construction and manufacture of supercomputers.

Zhang Rujing suddenly remembered something.

"Du Wei, what kind of name do you plan to give this supercomputing chip?"

"Starlight 1 processor."

"Starlight 1 processor? Okay, I'll let the packaging workshop print the name on it."

……

In fact, Xinghe Computer Company has already set up the framework of the supercomputer.

According to Star Map's supercomputing chip design, they prepared the supercomputer's card slot and other equipment.

It is only due to Dongfeng that everything is ready, as long as the supercomputing chip designed by Xingtu Company is produced by Galaxy Semiconductor.

Then they can immediately insert the chip into the card slot and adjust it.

This supercomputer specially designed for Fengdu Group can be put into use.

7 month 6 day.

Xinghe Semiconductor handed over 1.7 Xingguang 1 processors that had been packaged and tested to Xinghe Computer Company.

Xinghe Computer Company brought this batch of Xingguang 1 processors directly to Fengdu Group's headquarters building in Pingping Town, Haicheng County, Shanmei.

Fengdu Group's supercomputer center is on the fifteenth floor of their headquarters building.

"Mr. Lin, let's install the supercomputer's chips and systems." An engineer from Xinghe Computer Company explained to Lin Liangshen.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's eat here at noon!"

After Lin Liangshen exchanged pleasantries with the engineers of Galaxy Computer, he arranged for an assistant to go to the computer room on their behalf.

It was chilly in the computer room.

"Everyone, take your place." The engineer team leader ordered.

"Ok."

"Start immediately."……

More than 20 engineers began to install the Starlight 1 processors in the card slots one by one according to the division of labor.

Due to the powerful performance of the Starlight 1 processor, the volume of this supercomputer is only about 10 cubic meters. With other auxiliary equipment, the total volume is less than 30 cubic meters.

In this computer room with an area of ​​500 square meters, it is obviously extremely small.

"Wang Zu, this supercomputer is simply a work of art. With 1.7 Starlight 1 processors, it is comparable to Shenwei TaihuLight, and it only consumes less than 5000 kWh a day." An engineer was full of admiration.

"What is this? We are building a 500 billion billion times per second large-scale supercomputer is really powerful." Another engineer replied
Team leader Wang continued to install the chip without looking up.

"Don't chat at work, so as not to damage the chip."

"Eh..." The engineers who were chatting suddenly laughed.

Thanks to the pre-designed card slots, they can be installed very quickly.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Starlight 1 processors were installed into the card slots.

"Huh! You're done!"

"Okay, ready to install the system." Team Leader Wang patted his sore shoulders and neck.

They went to the console and inserted a specially made memory into it.

In an instant, a reading bar popped up on the monitor.

1%…5%…99%
[Whether to install], Team Leader Wang clicks Yes immediately.

The operating system of this supercomputer was developed by Zhongxing Group, and there are loyal subroutines in it.

The system will be installed soon.

"Go and inform Mr. Lin that the supercomputer is ready for use."

After a while, Lin Liangshen brought a dozen programmers into the computer room.

"Team Leader Wang, is the supercomputer ready for use?"

Team leader Wang nodded: "It's ready to use, try it out."

"Try it." Lin Liangshen turned his head and instructed the person in charge of the supercomputing center.

"Okay, Mr. Lin." The person in charge of the Supercomputing Center hurriedly led a dozen programmers to get busy.

The supercomputer center of Fengdu Group is a single-channel computer in disguise, which means that the supercomputer center can access the Internet, but other terminals on the Internet cannot access the supercomputer center.

In fact, it is not impossible to access, but you can only visit the Supercomputing Center with Zhong's permission. Without Zhong's permission, even hackers from all over the world will not be able to break through the supercomputing center's firewall.

The person in charge of the supercomputing center activated the information scraping function in the system, and in an instant, the supercomputer with a calculation speed of 10 billion billion operations per second was activated at 10% power.

One after another, invisible instructions and information quickly spread to this Dongtang Internet.

The prices of vegetables, fruits and grains all over the country were sorted out in less than 10 minutes.

The multimedia projector on the side will immediately generate various charts.

"Contact the Green Earth supermarkets in various places and ask them to report the prices of local vegetables and fruits to the information collection system of the head office." Lin Liangshen ordered the assistant.

After a while, the supercomputing center took over Fengdu Group's information collection system, and the programmers who were operating the system quickly compared the data collected by Green Earth Supermarket.

"Boss Lin, it's accurate."

"Okay, now our Fengdu Group is even more powerful." Lin Liangshen was also under great pressure.

After all, among the various groups of Galaxy Technology, the Fengdu Group suffered the most serious losses and was seriously hindered.

Although he knew that this was a strategic loss, he could regain blood as soon as possible, who wouldn't want to.
