Building a supercomputing center is not something you just want to do.
This requires liaising with local authorities.
A single power problem requires active cooperation from the power grid.
It's not like an individual buying a computer.
If you have money, you can buy it and use it when you get home.
I had just finished greeting my superior.
I learned that Lu Yiming would invest 3 billion to build an "exclusive" supercomputing center for the company.
The message came from the district to the city.
It directly caused shock to the top management of Star City!
Let’s put it this way!
We currently have the ability to afford a supercomputing center of this size.
Only Guo Jia has this capital.
Two thousand P!
Star City is the third city in China to have a supercomputing center with more than 1,000 PB.
Guo Jia doesn't have more than ten people with thousands of P supercomputer.
I personally build such a large supercomputing center.
Is this going to fly out of the universe?
Three billion is already a lot.
Even for Star City, a quasi-first-tier and second-tier city with a GDP exceeding one trillion.
And the most important thing is that so many cabinets need to be installed.
Starting with a site of at least 30,000 square meters.
In addition, electricity requires dedicated supply and supporting facilities.
The GDP here can be increased by at least one billion.
therefore.
Sectors related to construction and electricity.
He expressed his strong support for this project without hesitation.
Then a week.
Meetings in some units in Star City began to increase.
soon.
News came back to Cao Siyun one after another.
Cao Siyun then conveyed it to Lu Yiming.
"Mr. Lu! Three billion is enough just to purchase equipment, but with related buildings and supporting facilities, based on your expected two thousand P computing power, it is estimated to cost about five billion, and it also implicitly expresses the hope that you Can purchase domestic chips, and said that in this case, it can be purchased at a very favorable price, and at the same time, the power support will be greater! But in this case, the budget will reach 10 billion."
The computing power of an A800 is 0.6P.
But there is a certain loss when superimposed, and one plus one does not equal one.
And the trouble is that the chips Lu Yiming needs for these two thousand P are almost as much as a "money printing" company can produce in a month.
Lu Yiming’s original plan was to invest all three billion in computing power.
As for buildings he could invest extra.
The total budget is about 3.5 billion.
But now the total budget given by above is between 5 billion and 10 billion.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yiming also began to think deeply.
The difference between 5 billion and 10 billion, it is obvious that the support he can get will be greater in the latter.
Supporting domestic production requires paying an extra five billion.
Normal entrepreneurial thinking will never pay for supporting domestic products just for this support.
But it just so happens that Lu Yiming has no so-called entrepreneurial mindset at all.
Money is too easy to get.
The question he considered was whether he could afford to spend the 10 billion.
You can buy it directly from the supercomputing center.
For example, the highest-end domestic supercomputer currently available for purchase is the Sunway TaihuLight, which sells for 1.8 billion units, has a computing power of about 100P, and has a service life of ten years.
It's a bit expensive.
But the chip itself is just the brain of the supercomputer. If you want to build a usable supercomputer, the overall cost will not be lower than the chip.
In addition, buying a complete machine is already expensive.
This kind of expensiveness is also reasonably expensive.
However, Lu Yiming is very concerned about Liu Zhenyun's so-called "hands-on ability."
In his project report, he planned to design a supercomputer himself.
Although Lu Yiming found this somewhat outrageous after reading several related books using quantum reading.
But Lu Yiming is still willing to believe in him who is full of loyalty.
After thinking about it again and again.
Lu Yiming said solemnly: "I can accept this budget of 10 billion! But there are requirements! I need a special loan of 7 billion! The loan term is three years, and the principal will be repaid with interest after three years. Take ByteDouble's The shares are used as guarantee, and I also ask for policy support! And relevant technical support! Regarding supercomputing, we plan to do it ourselves, so we need to borrow a high-standard laboratory!"
Only had the system for a year.
Lu Yiming can own so many assets now.
I really don’t worry about not being able to pay back the money in three years.
Lu Yiming doesn't really care that domestic chips are expensive, as long as the quantity can be provided.
In fact, Lu Yiming still thought too much.
He doesn’t need to use ByteDance’s shares as a guarantee at all.
Things like the supercomputing center cannot be moved once they are on the ground.
His investment of three billion in real money was enough for local department personnel to help him raise the remaining seven billion.
at the same time.
Liu Zhenyun is leading his team to begin designing a supercomputer belonging to "Lu Yiming"
at this time.
He created a folder on his computer.
After hesitating for a moment.
The folder originally named Lu Yiming was renamed Zhulong!
This brought a look of comfort to his face.
The time has come to November 20th.
this day.
Pangu Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lu Yiming, submitted a project report on the 2000P supercomputing center.
soon.
This project was approved by the relevant departments of Star City.
This is not only the fourth thousand-P supercomputer in my country, but also the first sole proprietorship in the world to build a thousand-P supercomputer.
As soon as the news came out.
It’s a sensation in the industry!
The supercomputing center is a major project in information construction.
The service life is generally only ten years.
Plus high power consumption.
It is simply not something that ordinary companies can afford, let alone individuals who have the idea to do this.
soon.
The news fermented throughout the afternoon.
At six o'clock in the afternoon.
A picture appeared in Lu Yiming’s water friends group.
This picture is nothing else.
In Star City's local news, a photo of Lu Yiming shaking hands with top leaders was accompanied by the text "Star City's youngest entrepreneur invested 10 billion to build a domestic 2000P supercomputing center."
"Fuck! It's Mr. Lu!"
"Awesome! Invest 10 billion! What is Mr. Lu going to do? Is he going to go into scientific research?"
"Can anyone tell me what 2000p is? Can I play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with high image quality?"
"2000p? The news added an extra zero, right? Taihu is only 100p! Twenty Taihus? That's more than 30 billion!"
"It can't be calculated like this! Didn't the news say that Mr. Lu plans to design it himself? But this is outrageous enough. Designing a supercomputer by himself will require a Guo Jia-level scientific research project team to realize it, right?"
"More than that! No associate academician can lead this project!"
"It is probably a medium-sized supercomputer with a computing power of fifty pixels. If you build 40 computers, it will be 2,000 pixels."
"By the way, Mr. Lu is not planning to use supercomputer for mining, is he?"
"God damn mine with supercomputer! I'm losing money on electricity bills, not to mention the millions of depreciation expenses incurred every day."
"."
Before Lu Yiming started broadcasting that night.
Netizens and other water friends are discussing this matter.
It's such a super thing.
The current maximum computing power of a single unit is 235P.
certainly.
It cannot be ruled out that this is not the most high-end. After all, in the current international scientific research environment, everyone is trying to imitate a certain country in the East. What they come up with is definitely not the best. After all, they have all been touched.
Lu Yiming has 2,000P of computing power.
In the opinion of netizens, they are planning to take the quantitative route.
And they are heading towards the supercomputer rental market.
The current income from the supercomputer rental business can only be earned by electricity bills. In the eyes of netizens, Lu Yiming’s 2000P is completely unnecessary. Some people even bluntly said that Lu Yiming was wasting resources.
After all, chips have many uses.
Domestic chips are currently not available for civilian use.
Lu Yiming's 2000P supercomputing center is expected to use up at least half a year's production of domestic chips.
eight pm.
Lu Yiming started the live broadcast.
Because Seven Ten has ten minutes of footage of him.
Originally, the fact that he was working on supercomputing was only one of the top 14 hot searches. He also appeared on the news in just a few seconds. The news surpassed an entertainment news to become the hot search headlines.
This is not the first time Lu Yiming has made headlines.
at this time.
When the broadcast started, he watched the crazy Get Out barrage.
He immediately smiled and said: "I know it all! I plan to give you a good report, yes! I am going to let Pangu Company develop a supercomputer! And use my own supercomputer to build a 2000P supercomputer center!"
Compared to online news.
What Lu Yiming said at the beginning of the broadcast caused a huge commotion.
For nothing else.
That’s what he said he was going to independently develop a supercomputer.
This is not written in the news.
at this time.
Lu Yiming's water friends began to look up relevant information after learning the news.
Immediately.
Many people asked Lu Yiming on the barrage.
Like knowing how much computing power his supercomputer has.
How to say~
A single supercomputer of 100P can enter the top ten supercomputers in the world.
Supercomputers below 100P cannot be said to have no technical content at all, but they are also things without "innovation".
Just like what netizens said.
If Lu Yiming simply got some tens of P supercomputer and accumulated it to 2000P.
This is a complete waste of domestic chip resources and electricity.
Star City has a supercomputer.
It is also among the top three domestic cutting-edge supercomputing centers.
A single unit has a computing power of about 100P, and a total of ten units can provide a computing power of about 1,000P.
That's it.
There is already excess computing power.
It can meet the needs of scientific research projects throughout Funan Province.
This is also the reason why there is no need to complain about Lu Yiming online.
But the complaints are only before 7pm.
The news at 7:10 confirmed Lu Yiming's behavior.
In order to promote the development of supercomputing and also promote the development of domestic chips, Guo Jia supports private or corporate investment in the construction of supercomputing.
The history of supercomputers is bloody and tearful. It is better to buy it than to make it if you believe it wrongly.
As a result, the industry has not kept up with international trends.
As the saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. As a high-precision industry, chips have always been choked by foreign countries.
Lu Yiming’s supercomputer.
It can promote the entire industry to take half a step forward.
Although the order is only 6 billion, it is the largest order in history for private companies to order chips and related supporting hardware. It can be said that this is a very important step.
Lu Yiming's project is more than just local support.
It can even be said that Guo Jia is also supportive.
at this time.
Lu Yiming looked at the barrage.
Grinning, he said: "A few dozen p? What's the point of doing it! If you want to make it, make it big! But I don't know how big it can be now! Anyway, if it is less than 100p, the design drawing will not pass the test for me! "
Liu Zhenyun made a promise to Lu Yiming.
As long as he has a top laboratory and certain technical support, he can design a supercomputer with more than 100p.
Liu Zhenyun’s academic qualifications are a dual-degree master’s degree in technology and software engineering.
They are among the first batch of people to enter the new field of artificial intelligence.
For him to be able to design a supercomputer with more than 100p.
Lu Yiming didn't think it was impossible.
at this time.
When Lu Yiming said he was going to build a supercomputer with 100P computing power.
Many related professionals who came to the live broadcast room because of the news were quite disdainful.
joke.
It was only done with Guo Jia's strength.
How could Lu Yiming, with the power of a "small and micro" enterprise, be able to build a supercomputer with a computing power of 100P!
It's not that they look down on Lu Yiming.
But the insiders who knew a little bit were all amused by his big talk. They could only say that Lu Yiming's ignorance amused them.
But it was also because of the news at seven o'clock.
They wouldn't just laugh at Lu Yiming openly.
Let’s put it this way!
The cost of building a supercomputer with 100P computing power is around 400 million. Once 1.8 billion is built, it may not be easy to sell, but 1 billion will be eagerly sought after.
at this time.
Some people directly ridiculed the news because it was not good, and could only express their hope that Lu Yiming's Pangu company could bring down the price of supercomputers.
The next morning.
Cao Siyun contacted Lu Yiming.
Report the estimated time for the project.
The first is site selection and construction.
It is expected to take three years to complete.
At this point, Lu Yiming interrupted: "Three years is too long! I demand that the project be completed within one year!"
Hear this.
The corners of Cao Siyun's mouth twitched.
The compressed construction period shall not exceed 20% of the fixed construction period. If it exceeds, the additional rush costs shall be clearly stated in the bidding documents.
Fortunately, she knew the boss's character and had already asked this question in advance, and immediately said: "The other party does provide services to meet the deadline, but the price is a bit high. It needs to be increased by 300 million on the original basis!"
A total of 20,000 square meters of land was approved for this project.
If it is residential.
The land price per acre is three to five hundred per acre of the construction cost.
Currently, the construction cost of a high-rise community is 20 million per acre, but the land may cost more than 8,000.
It can be said that the majority of housing prices are in land.
However, Lu Yiming received support, and this support was reflected in the land. Lu Yiming rented the 20,000 square meters of wasteland.
Twenty thousand square meters is a total of thirty acres.
The rent for an acre of land is only one thousand a year.
Lu Yiming had rented this land for fifty years and only had to pay a rent of 30,000 yuan a year. It could be said that it was given to him for nothing.
The construction quotation is 20 million per acre with design.
The cost is only 600 million.
Reducing the construction period from three years to one year will cost an additional 300 million yuan.
Lu Yiming nodded to this: "Okay! But when you negotiate, add one more thing! For every additional month of shortened construction period, I can pay an additional 50 million!"
As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, they won't be itchy.
It currently has a debt of 7 billion.
Lu Yiming doesn't mind taking on more debt.
And he also wanted to see how far China's speed could reach.
soon.
The National Construction Bureau received the order.
I originally thought this order was a bit small.
at this time.
The person in charge of the project heard Cao Siyun relaying Lu Yiming's request.
He immediately said enthusiastically: "No problem! We will start construction immediately after the drawings are implemented!"
There was something he didn't say.
That is, according to this contract standard, if the construction period exceeds six months, he will commit suicide!
Twenty thousand p is my cloud
to change to 2000p
