That’s right, it’s compound lens technology.
This technology can be regarded as opening up a new field for the processing and manufacturing of complex optical lens groups. That is, this technology can be used to directly engrave or print various complex lenses and other optical lenses in a special optical glass material. This processing and manufacturing technology not only reduces the processing difficulty and cost of these lens groups, but also reduces the size of these lens groups and improves related performance.
This composite lens processing technology can not only be used to process and manufacture core lens groups related to photolithography machines, but can also be used to manufacture photonic chips.
However, it is currently relatively difficult to manufacture photonic chips, so Wu Hao and the others first applied this technology to the core of the photon computer, the photon computing module.
Photonic chips and photonic computers actually have the same structure and purpose to a certain extent, and are used to process data information. Not only are photonic chips more compact, they are equivalent to integrating a photonic computer into a small chip. This also enables a small photonic chip to achieve the computing performance of a photonic computer.
Wu Hao's super photon computer is actually similar in structure to a super computer. It is composed of several photon computing modules. Each computing module can be regarded as an independent photonic computer.
Each photon computing module is approximately composed of a 20CM*30cm*15cm cuboid module. The entire photon computing module is divided into two parts, which are composed of the front optical computing module and the integrated circuit module. The optical computing module is made of white translucent material, so when the photon computing module starts running, the module will light up.
Each photon computing module can be regarded as a photon computer, and then numerous photon computing modules form a 'computing blade' group, or to be precise, a photon computing cube. Countless photon computing cubes are connected using optical fibers to form a complex photon computer cluster array, which is their super photon computer.
Everyone is looking forward to this super photonic computer. Basically everyone knows that this will be a great initiative.
So after briefly listening to some relevant introductions, everyone couldn't wait to take the elevator to the fifteenth floor.
After getting out of the elevator, in front of everyone is a relatively wide, loop-shaped corridor surrounding the elevator.
It is about two or three meters wide, and there is a passage at each corner of the corridor extending vertically into it. These four extending aisles divide the remaining space into four rectangular areas. Each rectangular area is divided into a smaller module. Each module is more like a square column. Each of these columns is illuminated, which is very sci-fi.
Everyone was also attracted by these luminous pillars, and everyone couldn't help but curiously inquired about them.
Yang Fan, who had always had a low sense of presence, finally stood up, coughed twice, and introduced to everyone: "This is the super photon computer we developed. What you see in front of you are these pillars that are all luminous. This is the main body of our super photon computer. There are a total of 108 columns here, and each column contains a total of 4,000 photon computing modules, which adds up to 432,000 photon computing modules.
The 432,000 photon computing modules can provide this super photon computer with a peak computing speed of 607588TFlop/s, which is 60.7588 trillion times per second. Although it is not as good as the current number one US supercomputer with 11 billion exaflops (in 2024), it is already at the forefront of the supercomputer field.
More importantly, we have solved the problem of supercomputers that consume a lot of energy and generate heat. Our super photonic computer consumes only one-tenth of the power consumed by other equivalent supercomputers when running at full load.
Its overall size is much smaller than that of other supercomputers. If we can solve the manufacturing problem of photonic chips, then its energy consumption and volume will be further reduced, and the computing speed will be greatly increased, surpassing the current fastest supercomputer without any problem.
Therefore, at the beginning of the design of our super photonic computer, subsequent upgrade and optimization were taken into consideration, so a modular design was adopted. This will not only facilitate future maintenance and repair, but also replace a new generation of photon computing modules, thereby taking the computing speed of this super photon computer to a higher level. "
Bang bang bang bang... everyone couldn't help but applaud. Everyone was sincerely happy and happy that Yang Fan, his supercomputing R&D project team and the company could develop such a cutting-edge technology product that is leading the world, the super photon computer. pride.
Along with the applause, Yang Fan said to Wu Hao: "Boss, this super photon computer doesn't have a name yet. Please give it a name."
"That's right, Mr. Wu, please give me a name." Others present responded.
Even Zhang Jun smiled at Wu Hao and tried to persuade him: "Since everyone is expecting this, please give it a name. It should be louder and grander. It's best, and it can also represent our country's culture. .”
When Wu Hao heard this, he glanced at Zhang Jun helplessly. With so many people holding him up, he couldn't refuse, so he looked at these shining pillars and thought about it.
It must be loud and grand, and it must be representative of our country’s cultural characteristics.
To be honest, Wu Hao didn't have a clue for a while, but with so many people looking forward to it, he couldn't let them down. After racking his brains, a word finally appeared in front of him.
So he smiled at everyone and said: "Since this is our first super photon computer and the world's first super photon computer, I think it will be called 'Tao'."
"Tao?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"Yes, that's right, it's 'Tao'!" Wu Hao nodded and said with a smile.
Seeing Wu Hao's confirmation, everyone couldn't help but whisper. Zhang Jun couldn't help asking him: "Haozi, is there any profound meaning in this name?"
Seeing Zhang Jun ask this question, everyone looked at him to listen to his explanation. Seeing this, Wu Hao looked at everyone and explained with a smile: "Tao, this word is very representative in the traditional culture of our country. From a certain perspective, it is a classic representative of our traditional culture.
As for our super photon computer, it was completely independently developed by us. Then we should choose a name with our own characteristics, so I thought of the word 'Tao'. I think this name, even if it is placed internationally, should better represent the cultural characteristics of our entire country and nation.
