December seventeenth.
Sakura Country Fujitsu held a press conference at 9 a.m.
Several mainstream TV stations broadcast live simultaneously.
President Chihiro Okita stood on the podium and spoke passionately about the relevant parameters of supercomputer Fugaku.
And said that their "domestic" and "self-developed" supercomputer Fugaku will conduct a LINPACK test at 10 o'clock in the morning.
He said very confidently: "The ranking of supercomputer is not just a number, but also a reflection of the country's scientific and technological strength and innovation level. In two hours, we will let Fuyu supercomputer reach the top of the world in the eyes of the world." one!"
A passionate speech.
It aroused the emotions of thousands of invited spectators in the audience.
Many of these people are college students.
A patriotic atmosphere began to spread among them.
The time soon came to ten o'clock.
President Chihiro Okita, together with the mayor.
The start button was pressed.
This button was not connected to anything, but after the two people pressed it, the staff behind the scenes who received the instructions began to operate.
at this time.
A picture appeared on the big screen in the scene.
A long series of numbers on the screen is constantly beating.
at the same time.
Liu Zhenyun is leading the team to do the final testing.
soon.
Zhulong's seventh test begins.
At the moment of startup, the data on the screen in the central control room kept jumping, which made the eyes of several people who came to watch the game fixed on the screen.
Nothing happened.
After startup, when the data stabilizes.
Liu Zhenyun turned his head and looked at the people behind him and said solemnly: "It's done!"
These two words made several people in the observation group lose their voices instantly.
He stared closely at the relevant data on the screen.
You can see that the display peak reaches 1080P.
Then it exploded.
Several people surrounded Liu Zhenyun and asked relevant questions.
At this time.
Only two people remained in their original positions.
It was He Haijian and Lu Yiming.
He Haijian turned his head and looked at Lu Yiming who was standing aside and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"
Supercomputing plays an indispensable role in modern technological innovation.
It not only supports simulation calculations in fields such as scientific research and weather prediction, but also demonstrates powerful computing capabilities in artificial intelligence, drug research and development, and other fields.
The development of supercomputing directly affects the competitiveness of various countries in scientific and technological innovation.
This is also the reason why the superiors paid so much attention to it after learning the news.
Lu Yiming shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "Success is also pressure! I still think why don't you just take Zhulong away?"
Hear this.
He Haijian didn't say anything.
He looked at Liu Zhenyun who was surrounded by people in the distance.
Then he said softly: "Compared to Zhulong, the talents who develop Zhulong are the most rare!"
Lu Yiming became alert upon hearing the sound.
He can give up on Zhulong, but he will never give up on an employee with full loyalty. He immediately looked at it and said softly: "Yes! I planned to give him some shares a while ago, but it's a pity that he doesn't want it!"
The meaning of Lu Yiming's words is not difficult to understand.
Hearing the sound, the corners of He Haijian's mouth rose.
The important person is naturally joking. Although Liu Zhenyun is strong enough, he is the same no matter where he is in the country.
soon.
The question and answer session of the observation group ended.
Regarding Zhulong with 1080P computing power, several people have varying degrees of greed in their eyes.
for them.
The candle dragon is like a naked woman in the eyes of a pervert.
Possessiveness is not hidden at all.
The super computing power saves scientific research time. It originally takes several months to calculate data, but using supercomputing can shorten it to one day. But if you use Zhulong, it is like using a calculator, and the results are basically available in seconds.
at this time.
One of them looked at He Haijian and asked, "What's the cost?"
He Haijian did not answer this question.
Instead, he looked at Liu Zhenyun.
Understanding Liu Zhenyun replied: "The cost should be 300 million."
at the same time.
The LINPACK test of the US$1.3 billion supercomputer in Sakura Country has ended.
The peak computing power reached 442P.
This result is far more than three times the number one on the current TOP500 list.
Under the crazy publicity of Sakura Country’s domestic media.
Fugaku Supercomputer has become proof that Sakura Country’s technological level leads the world.
For a time the whole country celebrated.
Some of the passers-by interviewed at random cried tears of joy.
The TOP500 list is updated twice a year.
Sakura Country chose to test on the 17th because the latest list will be updated tomorrow.
at this time.
They operate to upload data.
Just waiting for tomorrow’s updated list to appear.
And claimed that their Fugaku supercomputer will dominate the list for at least three years!
The field of supercomputing is a form of arms race. With the development of chips every year, the update and iteration of supercomputing far exceeds the speed of research and development.
Unless it reaches a qualitative change of 1000P.
Otherwise, it does not mean much whether the supercomputing power is 100P or 200P.
But we can’t stop making breakthroughs just because it doesn’t mean much.
Lu Yiming's Zhulong allows China to save the development time and cost of the middle generations of versions.
It has reached 1000P computing power in leaps and bounds.
This is a supercomputer that can truly last ten years.
Instead of the current dozens or hundreds of P, although they can be used for ten years, with the development of chips, they will only be eliminated in two or three years.
Things like computing power are in very high demand.
After using a supercomputer with a computing power of 100P, and then going back to using a supercomputer with 80P or 50P, in a sense, it feels like the era of smartphones has degenerated into the era of mobile phones.
This means that Zhulong has a very huge market in China.
at this time.
Lu Yiming, He Haijian and others came to the conference room next to the laboratory.
Discuss matters regarding cooperation with Zhulong.
The negotiation process went very smoothly.
Lu Yiming had originally planned to give it for free, so he agreed to the other party's proposal without any hesitation.
It is divided into three parts in total.
First, the relevant data of Zhulong will be announced in different time periods.
It was initially revealed that Zhulong’s computing power reached 600P.
Try to extend the release time of 1000P Ultimate Calculation to three years.
Within three years, Zhulong can maintain its leading position in the supercomputing market.
The second part is the issue of state-owned capital investment.
The Zhulong project will be spun off from Pangu and established as a Zhulong supercomputing company, with state-owned assets accounting for only 30% of the shares.
With these thirty shares, Lu Yiming can obtain technical support and resource tilt.
At the same time, he does not need to repay the 10 billion he borrowed.
Even after setting up this new company.
He doesn't need to worry about business orders.
He Haijian promised that at least two orders would be placed in the capital and Shanghai.
Sakura Country Fugaku cost 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. Although the cost of Candle Dragon is only 300 million U.S. dollars, the external pricing cannot be lost to Fugaku. The high-tech premium is originally related to technology.
After negotiation between both parties.
A castrated version of Zhulong with 600P computing power.
They all think that the price of one billion dollars is very suitable.
certainly.
For foreign trade, the price is another.
But about foreign trade.
He Haijian looked at Liu Zhenyun and asked: "There is no risk of leakage of Zhulong's core, right? If there is, foreign trade may not be able to support it in the short term!"
Hear this.
Lu Yiming and Liu Zhenyun both laughed.
This smile made He Haijian raise his eyebrows.
I wonder if they have thought of this in advance and are already prepared?
at this time.
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "This problem is actually easy to solve. I wonder if Minister He has heard of Listening, a software we developed?"
Listen carefully?
Information about Lu Yiming.
He Haijian had naturally seen it, and he remembered that it should be an anti-cheat device for games.
At this time, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
Liu Zhenyun, who was next to Lu Yiming, immediately said: "The currently available version of Diting is only a castrated version. It can actually have greater room for development in the field of information security. We are confident that the core code of Zhulong will not be leaked."
The core of Zhulong is not the hardware part.
Simply copying the hardware, even if the imitation ratio reaches one to one, the final result will be that the computing power cannot meet expectations.
It can be said that the core algorithm of Zhulong is missing.
The replica is just a pile of scrap metal.
Seeing how confident the two were, He Haijian nodded immediately and said: "If the test passes, the foreign trade part of the castrated version of Zhulong should be able to pass."
The last thing is very simple.
Zhulong still has room for further growth.
He Haijian looked at Lu Yiming and said: "All 30% of our profits will be invested in the further development of Zhulong, and the 30% of external shares will be held by Liu Zhenyun on behalf of others."
As the saying goes, it took more than ten years to find out.
No one makes a sound when touched.
What Guo Jia wants is just technology.
This arrangement was within Lu Yiming's expectation.
Wen Sheng nodded and said solemnly: "No problem! At the same time, I will also invest the same proportion of profits into Zhulong's further development projects. This can be written in the contract."
These words greatly increased He Haijian's favorability.
Saying it verbally is one thing.
How to do it is another matter.
Lu Yiming can take out this part of the profit.
It is very rare to be consistent.
Hearing this, He Haijian nodded happily.
The new company will definitely make money.
Let’s not talk about how many orders there can be in the country. Once the truth between the two people can really protect Zhulong’s core from being leaked, the number of foreign trade orders will definitely be a very exaggerated figure.
Regardless of price or hard power.
There is currently no competitor to Zhulong on the market.
Not much to say.
Big dog traders will definitely come over and place orders if they hear the news.
However, the disadvantage lies in the output of chips. Currently, 90% of the parts of domestic photolithography machines are produced abroad.
Lu Yiming is currently building this candle dragon.
I have used the inventory of top domestic chips for several months.
Even to supply the chips needed for this candle dragon.
The chip company had to pay hundreds of millions in liquidated damages.
That is to say.
As long as domestic chip production cannot keep up, it will be quite good if Zhulong can produce two units a year, accounting for one-third of domestic chip production.
This is also the advantage of resource tilt.
Normally.
If there were no state-owned assets involved, it would be impossible for him to want so many chips.
The same applies even if you buy it abroad.
Tens of thousands of chips.
Even if you can get it, at least 50% of it will be second-hand.
If one-third of the 10,000 tablets cannot be used in supercomputing projects, it is considered lucky.
The cooperation matters were only discussed in general on that day. The specific contract would have to be signed by someone from the capital, but it was basically drawn up based on this negotiation.
That night Liu Zhenyun reduced Zhulong's computing power from 1080P to 600P.
After the LINPACK test was performed again, it was correct.
With the approval of He Haijian.
Upload this data online.
As the word success appears on the screen.
He Haijian smiled and said: "Now we have to wait for tomorrow afternoon. I wonder what the people in Sakura Country will think when they see that the number one is not me~"
The time came to noon.
Star City local television station.
On the midday news thirty at twelve eleven.
A clip was played.
In the clip, only Lu Yiming, Liu Zhenyun and others appeared.
It was taken during the Candle Dragon 600PLINPACK test at night.
And voiced: [Yesterday! Pangu Company, the city's leading high-tech enterprise, conducted a test on the computing power of its Zhulong supercomputing project, and the test results reached a breakthrough of 600P computing power. This is the first independent private enterprise since the self-research of my country's supercomputing.]
at this time.
Lu Yiming is at the company.
There is a 100-inch TV on the wall opposite his desk.
When eighteen seconds are over.
Lu Yiming looked to the side and Cao Siyun smiled and said, "When did we become a leading high-tech company?"
Hear this.
Cao Siyun smiled back and said: "Just yesterday! When the Zhulong supercomputer 600P test was successful!"
She naturally knew that Zhulong could reach a thousand.
But a confidentiality agreement was also signed.
But even if I don’t sign, I won’t just say it.
Currently, Cao Siyun's loyalty is second only to Liu Zhenyun's ninety-eight.
She would not do anything that was detrimental to Lu Yiming.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming was quite satisfied with this answer.
He immediately laughed and said: "Okay! Now we are covered by someone! You can come with me when the contract is up! I plan to make you the CEO of the new company, and your burden will be heavier in the future!"
Hear this.
Cao Siyun nodded gratefully.
In a sense, if she becomes the CEO of a newly established company, she will have no problem with staffing.
at this time.
Lu Yiming's water friends were collectively confused.
This eighteen-second piece of news was posted online.
The high-tech field has always been the focus of national attention, let alone world-class key projects such as supercomputing.
【seriously! 600P computing power! The one in Sakura Country yesterday was only over 400 P, right? 】
[Could it be that the news was wrong? Single line data mistaken for double line? 】
[But even this is outrageous! Dual-line also has 300P! Didn’t Mr. Lu say that it would be 200P to hold on to death? 】
【its not right! Shouldn't this kind of news be on the seven o'clock slot? Why is this the midday slot of local news? I feel like there's something fishy in there! 】
[The list is updated at 3pm, right? You will know when the list is updated, even if it is 300, you can still be in the top two! 】
【Fuck! I suspect it might actually be six hundred! Do you remember Mr. Lu’s attitude when he received the call that day? The follow-up has also been suspended for such a long time. If it was 300P, it would never reach this level? 】
【.】
Whether it is 600P or actually only 300P.
This is a surprise for Lu Yiming's fans.
But netizens think this is fake news.
The news quickly spread to Sakura Country.
At this time, Chihiro Okita was being interviewed by the media.
In the past two days, he was in a state of extraordinary glory.
At this time.
A reporter mentioned that the great Eastern country is rumored to have a supercomputer with 600P computing power.
This question made Chiyu Okita stunned for a moment.
Then he said with a strained expression: "It's a pity! I have not received relevant news. If the big eastern country can really have a 600P supercomputer, I don't think there will be any news until today. It is still far from the time for the release of the list. For more than two hours, if there really is a big Eastern country, I think this supercomputer named Zhulong should be in front of us!"
The words fell.
The reporter continued to ask: "Then can I think that Mr. Okita, you mean that the big Eastern countries simply don't have this strength?"
After hearing this, Chiyu Okita did not answer directly.
But the contemptuous smile on his face said it all.
600p computing power?
What a joke!
This thing is still under development by his father.
Time soon came to 4pm Sakura Country time.
This corresponds to domestic time of 3 p.m.
The TOP500 list is officially released.
The big screen behind Chiyu Okita is constantly refreshing.
soon.
The TOP500 list in December 2019 appeared behind him.
Chihiro Okita, who was stuck, shouted excitedly to the audience: "Now! Our Fugaku supercomputer has officially reached the top spot!"
Speaking of which.
He turned around and looked at the big screen and read: "Based on 608P"
No more reading.
His words came to an abrupt end.
at this time.
His expression gradually changed from joy to horror.
The number one ranking is not their Fugaku supercomputer.
Instead, the candle dragon with the flag of the great Eastern country is spelled out in all capital letters.
It wasn't just him who was stunned.
The media and invited celebrities and politicians were invited off the court.
They were all dumbfounded looking at this list.
The scene became quiet for a while.
at the same time.
The same goes for domestic netizens.
It's just that one mood is positive and the other is negative.
It's quite a feeling of sitting up in a dying illness, and it's actually me who feels it.
In the past few days, some domestic public figures have been working hard to promote Fugaku Supercomputer.
What an integration of top technologies.
Sakura Country's technology is about to take off.
Supercomputing with more than 400 P computing power can be said to take off.
So what is a 600P candle dragon?
For a time, the entire Internet was in a state of excitement because Zhulong reached the top! (End of chapter)
