After everyone quietly listened to Zhang Long's relevant explanation, they all began to think.

The young researcher from before suddenly slapped his head and said: "I understand. After decentralization, the system will have deeper control over the entire system. Although each link in the past was efficient enough, if the control center host encounters Some situations outside of design.

For example, if there are three cars that happen to need to deliver goods to the same cargo port, the control center will only arrange for them to line up one by one to release the goods, instead of redesigning the route and allowing the other two cars to temporarily change their targets to other suitable cargo ports.

Faced with a similar situation, the control center host will only continue to follow a fixed routine, even if it will waste some time, but the advantage of this is that the probability of errors can be minimized. "

After listening to this, everyone thought for a while and understood that the final destination of each package was one of the eight trucks waiting outside the factory.

There are 800 cargo openings on the upper level of the sorting center, corresponding to 800 conveyor belts on the lower level. The 800 conveyor belts are finally gathered at the exits corresponding to eight vehicles, which means that the three avg cars have 100 different options.

If you put it into the human thinking mode operation scenario, it is like the two people behind see that the cargo port they want to put in has been occupied by a buddy. At this time, they will directly change the route and choose the one closest to them. One of the cargo ports is delivered to the same cargo port as its final destination, saving time and energy consumption at the same time.

But Xuanyuan Goudan, who still follows fixed procedures for the time being, cannot have such a rich imagination.

"If this situation happens again now, the two avg trucks will choose another plan after comprehensively considering the situation of other basic units and after calculation, and immediately change the route and choose another cargo port for delivery.

Although according to the original procedure, this route may only be the second or third best option, but compared to having two cars waiting in line, this option can save some time.

It may be very short overall, saving only a few seconds or even a few tenths of a second, but it can add up to a lot, so that the efficiency is further improved invisibly.

Even based on the number of packages, all basic units will adaptively calculate an optimal operating rhythm, thus reducing a lot of unnecessary energy consumption and time waste!

Isn't this just like a supercomputer?

It is a complex network composed of several subsystems. "

As soon as this guy explained it, everyone understood the essence of the cluster control system. Its core is some kind of distributed algorithm. This is a black technology!

Although in the short term, this will increase investment in a lot of hardware equipment. For example, the entire sorting center will add a quarter of the original number of servers.

This is inevitable, after all, no matter how awesome the software is, it also relies on related hardware equipment to exist.

In a system, as the number of subsystems increases, the data that needs to be processed will also increase geometrically. This is not addition or multiplication, but exponential operation.

This requires a very powerful optimization algorithm. If we only look at the utilization efficiency of server resources in this sorting center, cluster control technology can already be classified into the category of black technology.

Shunfeng Logistics was able to add only a quarter of the servers and process 10 times and 100 times more data than before. In the final analysis, we can only say that the relevant algorithms are awesome.

At this time, a group of people remembered the comment about Chen Yi in the Blue Star programmer circle that "Blue Star is the strongest, no one else".

Several of the people who came here for inspection were still amateur programmers. They had stayed in the Honker Alliance when they were young. At that time, they only expressed pride in being a melon-eater in the relevant discussions. But now after being immersed in the scene, they I deeply understand the connotation of this sentence.

Zhang Long looked at the amazed expressions of a group of people and said at the right time: "Our technology can be applied not only in the logistics industry, but in many fields, and some places have even begun to apply it on a large scale.

In theory, this technology can be applied to any system with multiple basic units.

I won’t talk about drones. I believe some of you also know about Anaheim-related projects. It’s not convenient to talk about these.

BBK's ODM foundry next door, the smart greenhouse in Xijiang, the smart farm responsible for the three-line project on Hong Kong Island, and the ecological fisheries along the coast are all scenarios where cluster control systems are deeply applied.

I believe that after China makes in-depth application of this technology, its development speed will rise to another level. "

A group of people were still listening to Zhang Long's previous words with great interest, but when they heard the last sentence, a sentence popped out subconsciously in their hearts.

"Stop and wait for your people!"

Oh, this is a meme that spread on Renren. The original source is unknown. After it appeared, it spread rapidly on Renren.

The original intention is that the mainland is making such rapid progress in development, which will be bad news for ordinary people. It may force them to change some of their living habits, resulting in them not being able to adapt well to this era. This may cause a series of social problems.

At first, this sentence became popular after a group of big Vs retweeted it and commented on it, but then nothing happened.

Finally, a group of big Vs deleted their posts at the speed of light, and Zhalang Weibo was once again interviewed by the official. . .

It has developed so far that people simply use it to make fun of the rapid development of the mainland in recent years.

But now a group of people really feel that this sentence is really suitable for the situation. If the current development speed reaches a higher level, they estimate that not only the big v’s on Weibo and Renren, but also many crooked people will say they can’t stand it. .

After joking in their minds for a while, everyone began to think about what changes this technology could bring to the things they were responsible for.

First, a CEO of State Grid made a direct decision to set up a pilot project in Western Xinjiang to see whether the cluster control technology can significantly improve their power transmission and transformation efficiency. If feasible, it should be promoted nationwide.

After watching the boss make a direct decision, others were not to be outdone and put forward their own needs.

Port freight, traffic control, in-depth internal detection of various aging facilities, factory management, etc. Basically, this technology can be applied to any system composed of several basic units.

. . .

After a group of big guys completed relevant inspections at Shunfeng Logistics Park, the news did not spread to the outside world.

If the current Internet develops to the level before Chen Yi time travel, it is estimated that all major Internet companies will take turns harassing Fang Zhanbo and Zhang Long for cooperation. This is technology tailor-made for the intelligent era, but Chen Yi Let it be born in advance.

The significance of this technology in official terms is to lay a solid foundation for the informatization and intelligent construction of pla.

With this technology, robot naval tactics are possible under existing hardware conditions.

This sentence sounds very strange. The three artificial intelligences Xi, Xuanyuan Goudan and Legion have been around for so long. Although they are still in the category of "artificial intelligence retardation", it should be easy to control the sea of ​​drones to clean the ground.

But what restricts the three is the development of existing hardware equipment, and the computing power they control is not enough.

The legion only controlled more than 500 ground unmanned vehicles during the battle in Puglia. It seemed like a lot, but compared to the real army, it was just a drop in the bucket, and it was simply not enough to consume.

Moreover, both the mainland and the Qinglong Study Group are carrying out large-scale construction in the west. As the three of them have to manage more and more key equipment, there will always be an increase in existing computing resources that cannot keep up with the demand for computing power. growth dilemma.

Especially in Western Xinjiang, every additional intelligent building is a huge computing resource, and cloud computing has not yet been completely popularized, which is very embarrassing.

Fortunately, another application of distributed computing, cluster control technology, has greatly alleviated this problem.

In the short term, although the average server resources occupied by each unit has increased, the corresponding utilization rate of unit computing power among the three has also increased geometrically.

This is equivalent to the fact that you had to spend ten yuan to do one thing before, but now you can do hundreds of thousands of things for fifteen yuan.

This represents an exponential increase in the number of units controlled, which is equivalent to a geometric increase in the population limit in real-time strategy games.

As the number of control terminal devices increases, in the future it will no longer be addition but multiplication. After all, although Chen Yi can manufacture servers in large quantities to meet computing power needs, servers also take up a lot of space and require various maintenance. Spending money would be best if it can significantly improve efficiency.

If the mainland is only taking small steps towards the application of distributed algorithms in various fields, it also strictly follows the attitude of crossing the river by feeling for the stones.

In another place, things have already begun.

On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, there is a group of Maozi.

Due to the problems of their living environment, they had to make the entire team a little more reckless.
