After visiting the server cluster, everyone couldn't wait to take the elevator to the "Tao" super photon computer area on the top floor.
Coming out of the elevator door and looking at these white light pillars, everyone seemed to be in a science fiction world. There is a light blue halo swimming above these completely white light pillars, which is very dreamy.
Is this a photonic computer? Li Yahong sighed.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "To be precise, this is a super photon computer. There are a total of 108 columns here. Each column contains a total of 400 photon computing modules, which adds up to 43,000. Twelve hundred photon computing modules. Each photon computing module can be regarded as an independent photon computer."
Cluster matrix structure, this is indeed your area of expertise. Brother Ma nodded and said.
"What's its current computing power?" Lao Ma looked at these columns and then asked: "It ranks among the top among all supercomputers in the world.
But right now, our new generation of photonic computer technology has been developed and is currently being tested. Soon new photonic computing modules will replace these existing modules, and by then their performance will far exceed that of all current supercomputers. "
After hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but become interested. Everyone has been curious about this commercial super photon computer for a long time.
How about compared to quantum computers? Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but ask. In fact, many people will ask this question, because everyone always compares supercomputing and quantum computers. Wu Hao and his new super photon computers are often compared with quantum computers.
So when he heard this question, he was not surprised, and then shook his head with a smile: "And there is no comparison. Their calculation methods are different. The calculation method of this photon computer is actually similar to the calculation method of a classical computer. Although it can be compared with the traditional computer The computing speed of classical computers has improved, but it is still far behind quantum computers.
Of course, everyone knows that quantum computers also use photons to perform calculations. Therefore, our ultimate goal is to develop an advanced practical quantum computer that can be put into commercial use.
At present, we have also made very good progress in the field of quantum computer technology. I believe that at some time in the future, we will definitely be able to appear with everyone in a 'king' posture. "
Oh, then we are very much looking forward to it. After hearing his introduction, everyone nodded.
Mr. Wu, can you let us take a closer look at this photonic computer module? Li Yahong asked Wu Hao.
Hearing this request, everyone also looked at Wu Hao's face. This was the sentiment of many people present.
How could Wu Hao not know about the little Jiujiu in Li Yahong's heart? They have also been working on photon quantum computer technology, so he obviously wants to steal their skills.
The people present are all giants of Internet companies and technology companies, so they are naturally very interested in this industry-leading cutting-edge technology product. Now that there is such an opportunity, how could everyone not be eager for it?
But how can such cutting-edge technology be stolen at a glance? Wu Hao couldn't help but sneered in his heart. But there was a smile on his face, and he nodded in front of everyone's gaze: "Of course, everyone, please come here!"
With that said, Wu Hao brought everyone to a luminous pillar. Only then did everyone see that there were some small gaps on the fully illuminated pillars. These gap lines divided the pillars into square modules.
Smiling at everyone, Wu Hao stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the surface of a square module.
The square module that Wu Hao clicked immediately turned light red, and the module then slowly slid open, like a drawer.
Everyone present moved closer to take a closer look, but to everyone's disappointment, they did not see anything special in this cube module. Apart from some conventional integrated circuits and circuits, the most eye-catching thing is naturally the optical computing module.
This optical computing module is white and translucent as a whole, with green light flashing inside, making it look very colorful.
Looking at the eyes of everyone scrambling to observe, Wu Hao smiled and introduced: "Please see, everyone, this translucent device with green light is our optical computing module and the core of the entire photonic computer.
Because this is a prototype, it does not use a miniature integrated optical circuit, so the volume will be relatively large. And our new generation of photonic computer technology will use photonic chips. Compared with this kind of optical computing module, photonic chips are smaller, more integrated, faster, and more energy-saving.
Moreover, it can also greatly save space, allowing us to accommodate more photon computing modules composed of such photonic chips in the same space. In this way, the performance of the entire 'Tao' super photon computer will be greatly improved, and the computing speed will also increase geometrically. "
Photonic chip?
Everyone present couldn't help showing expressions of surprise, and Lao Ma even asked: "So has this photonic chip been manufactured now?"
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, we have developed photonic chip products that can be put into practical use.
At present, in addition to continuing to test, optimize and improve this photonic chip, we have also handed it over to relevant institutes for comprehensive performance testing.
Judging from the feedback we have received so far, all parties have given high praise to the performance of this photonic chip. "
Mr. Wu, you've hidden it well enough. If we hadn't been here today, we probably wouldn't have known about this news. Xue Bing was a little apprehensive and sighed.
Tao Zhengyang on the other side asked eagerly: "Mr. Wu, will this photonic chip be put into the market?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone glanced at Tao Zhengyang, and then turned to look at Wu Hao. In fact, everyone understands the question raised by Tao Zhengyang. After all, no one present can understand the troubles and difficulties caused by "missing core" better than Tao Zhengyang.
Tao Zhengyang and others have also made great efforts in the past few years, but in the field of high-end chips, they are still blocked and suppressed by foreign countries.
This new era-changing photonic chip naturally made Tao Zhengyang, Xue Bing, Xiao Ma and others shine, and they immediately showed great interest.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "Sorry, we have no plans to put it on the market yet."
Everyone: "..."
