Seeing everyone nodding in agreement with his statement, Wu Hao continued: "Tao, the word has many meanings. It is a term used by our traditional culture to understand nature and benefit ourselves. It means the orbit or trajectory of all things, or it can It is said to be the place where things change and move. Tao can be interpreted as a road, a path to truth, or a solution to affairs.
It can also be compared to principles, truths, answers, and obtaining principles and answers through roads.
And this super photon computer is to find some answers for us that we want to know, and it is also a set of paths, or approaches, for us to find those answers. "
"Wonderful, Tao is both the way and the answer, both the solution and the final answer. This is a good name." Dong Yiming suddenly understood and praised with a smile.
"Yes, after Haozi explained it, I also like this name. It is simple, yet rich in profound philosophy, and represents our traditional culture. I think it is good, what do you think?" Zhang Jun looked at the crowd and asked road.
"Good!" Everyone praised him in appreciation.
Wu Hao looked at the appreciative smiles of everyone and continued: "And the Tao Te Ching says that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Tao is a beginning, and it is also the initial stage of the development of all things. The origin of "Tao" is mother. So I chose the word 'Tao' because I hope this is the source of our company's technology, so that we can breed more advanced technologies. This is a metaphor and an expectation."
"Okay! Bang bang bang bang..." Everyone applauded.
Zhang Jun shouted happily to everyone: "Okay, the supercomputer we developed is called 'Dao'. Just as Haozi said, we must continue our efforts and strive to develop Dao 1, Dao 2, Dao 3... Contribute to our country’s super photon computer technology and continue to make progress.”
Bang bang bang bang...
Along with the applause, Wu Hao waved to everyone and said, "Come on, let's take a photo together."
Seeing what Wu Hao said, everyone immediately started to gather towards him, and then some staff members started directing with cameras.
Although everyone handed over their personal electronic devices when entering the building, there were accompanying publicity personnel carrying professional cameras. Of course, these cameras do not have external networking capabilities, and the relevant photos taken need to be confirmed and technically processed by the confidentiality office to prevent some key information from being leaked.
"Mr. Wu, please come closer to the middle, yes. Mr. Zhang, please come closer to Mr. Wu, okay. Everyone look at the camera, be happy, smile, and show off your beautiful teeth. Let's count down to three , three, two, one, eggplant!”
After taking photos and joking around, Yang Fan and two technical experts led Wu Hao and the others into the passage and came to a luminous column.
A technical expert pressed a few times on the luminous column, and then a box similar to a drawer popped out from the column, and then introduced it carefully to Wu Hao and the others.
In fact, these technical experts are not suitable for explaining. What they pop up casually are all kinds of professional data. People who don't know much about it will be completely confused after a little while, which is no different from listening to heavenly books.
Wu Hao, on the other hand, had in-depth exchanges with these experts. Although they only briefly exchanged a few technical issues, the experts including Yang Fan who listened were all glowing with excitement.
However, the timing was not right, so Wu Hao had no choice but to give up on-site communication.
When will this 'Tao' super photon computer be put into official use? Wu Hao then raised a question that everyone was more concerned about.
Sure enough, after hearing this question, everyone couldn't help but look over. Such a good thing can't just be beautiful but useless.
Yang Fan thought for a moment, then faced everyone's gaze and said: "Currently, this 'Dao' super photon computer has been assembled and has officially begun the related trial, test, optimization and improvement stages. The whole process may last about half a year to a year. If If nothing else goes wrong, formal trial delivery will be possible as soon as this fall, and delivery should be completed before the end of this year at the latest.
Even so, it is currently in the trial and testing phase and there is no problem in undertaking some computing tasks. "
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Wu Hao smiled: "Great, it can just alleviate our application gap in supercomputing.
You know that some of our scientific research projects require a lot of data calculations. In the past, we relied on other people's cloud computing services and supercomputers located in various places.
It’s just that, after all, it belongs to others and it’s inconvenient for us to use it. Take the supercomputing center for example. If we want to apply for a supercomputer, we have to queue up. For example, the resources of the most powerful supercomputers in our country are very scarce. Not only is it difficult to apply, but even if you do apply, you have to wait in line for a long time, which is very inconvenient and wastes time.
Now we finally have our own supercomputer, which can alleviate our computing gap in this area and prioritize those tasks that require urgent computing. "
Yang Fan nodded and said: "This is how we decided. We will first select some urgent projects from the applications submitted by various research institute laboratories and project teams for priority processing. This time, if conditions permit, come to Come up with other related project tasks."
This is best. You should do a good job in coordinating between various institute laboratories and project teams to avoid misunderstandings or even conflicts. Wu Hao warned Yang Fan with some worry. Yes, this situation can easily happen, especially when competing for relevant resources. Even though they are just a group of scientific researchers, the energy they exert when they actually compete for resources is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
There have been two R&D teams competing for an experimental equipment before, and they ended up getting into trouble. To this end, the two project R&D teams have tried every possible means, and no one can persuade them.
In the end, it was Wu Hao who took action and settled the fight.
Zhang Jun on the side, after hearing their words, said with some worry: "Our country's supercomputing resources are now tight. I'm afraid that after the news that our super photon computer is successfully developed and put into trial operation spreads, all parties will I’m afraid the men and horses will rush to kill us.”
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "This worry is not unreasonable, but the things are always ours, and they have to listen to us no matter what they do.
At this stage, it is definitely impossible for our super photon computer to be opened to the outside world. After it is officially put into operation, when our own calculations are sufficient, we can open it to the outside world appropriately and undertake some computing tasks. "
