MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 171 supercomputer
At 10 am the next day, Luo Fan came to the government affairs hall on time. Luo Fan explained his intention to the front desk. Soon a woman in her 30s came downstairs and took Luo Fan to Zhou Qingyun's office.
"Xiao Luo, wait a moment, I still have a document to read." Luo Fan said first as soon as Zhou Qingyun came in.
"It's okay, Uncle Zhou, you are busy, I am not in a hurry."
Zhou Qingyun nodded and continued to read the document.
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Qingyun closed the folder and said to Luo Fan, "Xiao Luo, I'm done here, let's go!"
Then Luo Fan came to Beicheng in Zhou Qingyun's car.
Zhou Qingyun took Luo Fan around the Beicheng District for a long time, and showed Luo Fan all the places he thought were more suitable.
These lands are left by the city, and they are prepared to be favored by the city and more promising companies, and there will be corresponding discounts in terms of prices.
Luo Fan noticed that there was the mobile phone parts processing factory built in 2015 in the previous life. This processing factory later supported nearly 5,000 people in the city.
This piece of land is pretty good in all aspects. The only fly in the ointment is that this piece of land covers too much space, so Luo Fan doesn't need such a big place.
In the end, Luo Fan chose a 1,700-square-meter land in the High-tech Park of Beicheng District.
After choosing the land, Luo Fan attended several meetings in the city with the help of Zhou Qingyun, and shared some of his ideas about cloud services at the meeting.
After a final vote, the city agreed to grant the land to Luo Fan.
According to the city's preferential policies for investment promotion, Luo Fan spent a total of more than 7 million to win the land.
This price is very good, it is twice as expensive as the price when Beicheng District was just developed, and now it is put outside, the land is estimated to be faster than 15 million.
Then Luo Fan contacted Cao Shuai and asked him to find a way to help with the design of the cloud service center.
Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and Cao Shuai has returned to Shanghai. During this time, he is busy working on the design of the company headquarters.
Cao Shuai is looking for well-known experts in China, who have participated in many key construction projects of gj, and one of these experts tops 100 ordinary designers.
Then Cao Shuai also invited some people to assist the expert in drawing. According to the progress, the design of the headquarters can be completed in about a month.
Luo Fan called him now and asked him to come up with the design of the cloud service center. Cao Shuai had no choice but to interrupt the design of the headquarters first, and let the experts turn to the design of the cloud service center.
Fortunately, the cloud service center has only 6 floors according to Luo Fan's plan, so it shouldn't take too long.
Looking back to Luo Fan's side, he solved the problem of the ground and the blueprint, and then came the most important supercomputer.
There is no very clear definition of a supercomputer.
In general, supercomputing refers to computers that are capable of performing high-speed operations that ordinary personal computers cannot handle.
In other words, as long as it can crush the vast majority of computers at the same time, it can be called a supercomputer, and a relatively excellent private server can also be called a supercomputer.
However, what Luo Fan wants to buy here is not a relatively good private server, but a real supercomputer.
Luo Fan does not plan to buy supercomputing from abroad, because in 2010, the second phase of our self-developed Tianhe-1A was successfully developed.
It ranks first in the supercomputer TOP500 list with a peak running speed of 4700 trillion times per second and a continuous running speed value of 2566 trillion times per second.
And our lead in supercomputers didn't start in 2010.
For example, in November 1992, the "Galaxy-II" billion-time general-purpose parallel supercomputer was successfully developed.
"Galaxy-II" was applied to the National Meteorological Center at that time, and a medium-term digital weather forecast system was established, making my country one of the few countries in the world that could carry out medium and long-term weather forecasts for 5 to 7 days.
Our own supercomputer technology is the strongest in the world, so there is no need to ask foreigners to buy supercomputers.
Our leadership in high-end supercomputing has not been surpassed for a long time, until Luo Fan's rebirth, the latest version of the global supercomputing TOP500 list released by the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC), the new supercomputer Frontier in the United States, translated as Frontier The cutting-edge supercomputing has been rated as the fastest supercomputer in the world by an absolute advantage.
At the same time, it is also the world's first officially released supercomputer with a floating-point operation speed of more than 10 billion petaflops per second, referred to as E-level supercomputer.
Although the "leading edge" supercomputer ran a peak measured performance of 1.012 exaflops in the benchmark test, the system provided a performance of up to 1.69 exaflops, and even after adjustment It has run to 20 billion billion times, so Frontier has also become the world's first officially recognized E-class supercomputer.
The emergence of "Frontier" has also allowed the United States to regain the world's first place in computing speed after a long absence.
But the emergence of "frontier" does not mean that our technology in this area is lagging behind, just that the development direction is different.
Since then, our supercomputing has been going the "people-friendly" route, the kind that everyone can afford.
After 2016, the circuit analysis of a small county in many provinces, traffic lights, and cameras will use supercomputing. It is no exaggeration to say that basically larger counties have supercomputing.
Some of the wealthier counties are even more supercomputers per department.
For example, where Zhang Shuai worked in his previous life, he spent more than 700,000 custom-made supercomputers in order to facilitate his work in 2018.
Such an affordable price is absolutely impossible to put abroad.
Although domestic supercomputers are not as cheap as they are now, they are more assured than buying foreigners.
Luo Fan also has a channel to buy supercomputers. In his previous life, he was a student of the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua University, and one of his teachers was an expert in this field.
Although Luo Fan is no longer at Tsinghua University in this life, Wang Hui and the others are still there!
So I plan to go to the imperial capital in two days, ask Wang Hui to help introduce this teacher, and then buy a supercomputer from him.
It's 2011, and supercomputers take at least a year from order to shipment.
This year, the cloud service center should be almost completed. When the supercomputer arrives, the cloud service function of Xingyuan will be opened directly.
The core business of cloud services is cloud storage and cloud computing. Cloud storage has no technical content. As long as the network speed is fast enough and supercomputing is in place, it can be opened at any time.
Luo Fan wants to establish a cloud service center not for cloud storage, but for the subsequent cloud computing.
Many of Xingyuan's follow-up businesses are inseparable from cloud computing, not to mention other things, just talk about Xingchao. At this stage, Xingchao has just launched the employee sign-in service.
At the beginning of next year, Luo Fan plans to open the online meeting function. Without cloud computing support, the online meeting function will not be possible at all, and there will be one less important bargaining chip to seize the market with Penguin, so the cloud service center must be as soon as possible. made it up.

The recent chapter review doesn't show that I didn't delete it, and I can't reply to it. It should take a few days to get better.
