Chapter 257 Fusion Supercomputer! Kunlun Kaleidoscope! (2)
Han Chang brought good news from the military, and they had agreed to mobilize experts to Jiangnan to assist the plateau in completing the supercomputing plan.
Support from all sides made Gao Yuan very excited, so shortly after the launch of Kunlun Fantasy Technology, all parties began to gather in Jiangnan again.
The seven major supercomputing centers in China, cloud computing centers led by Alibaba and Huawei, and in addition to the power of supercomputing manufacturers.
As we all know, in June 2018, China lost the world's number one supercomputer throne, which is a very regrettable thing. After all, the value of the world's fastest supercomputer title is too high. The competition for this technology has always been the main battlefield in the global technology industry.
However, although China has lost the world's fastest supercomputer throne, it is still the country with the most supercomputers in the world.
Currently, the world's fastest supercomputer is Lenovo Group, with 180 units on the list, the second is Shuguang Group, with 68 units on the list, and the third is Inspur Group, with 64 units on the list.
It can be seen that the top three on the list are all Chinese manufacturers, with a total of 312 units, which shows that China's ability to manufacture supercomputers is absolutely unquestionable.
Some people may say that the core components are imported, so what's so cool about it?
But the problem is that even if you give you core components, no one can make a supercomputer.
Supercomputers are very complex systems engineering. They are not as powerful as anyone's more processors. They don't understand collaborative logic and bandwidth allocation. Even if you have one billion processors, you still can't stack supercomputers.
In terms of synergistic efficiency, it is neither North America nor China, but Japan that ranks first in the world.
Among the top 500 supercomputers, only 13 Japanese supercomputers are on the list, but these 13 supercomputers account for 21.7% of the overall computing power, which is almost the rhythm of one unit hitting ten others.
It can be seen that China's core components rely on North America, and their coordination and efficiency are evenly matched by North America, but lag behind Japan.
As for other countries, sorry, in the field of supercomputing, there are only three players in China, the United States and Japan. Ninety percent of the supercomputing used in Europe are Lenovo, Dawn, or Inspur...

"Don't they just think we can bully it!? Kunlun Group wants to build supercomputers, what does it have to do with our Alibaba Group?"
"Stop talking, stop talking, you guys are going to their Jiangnan headquarters soon."
"Why can't you say it? Supercomputing and cloud computing are not the same existence. Is it true that Gaoyuan doesn't understand such a simple truth?"
"This is a typical example of a drum breaking the drum and pounding thousands of people, and taking advantage of the situation."
"Hey, I remember when our boss Ma was in a very glorious way, who dared to use this to us?"
"This is just that our boss Ma has gone downhill. Only those with the surname Gao dare to bully people like this. Even though it has nothing to do with us, we have drew such a large number of people as our Alibaba Group."
"Can you say a few words? Although cloud computing and supercomputing are two categories, they still have similarities with each other."
"When you stand, you don't have a back pain. Surgeons and thoracic doctors are both doctors, but can they be the same? It's obviously a neurosurgery, but you found a veterinarian. What's going on?"
"Look, Boss Gao must have done it on purpose! After all, he didn't like our Boss Ma from the beginning."
Since Alibaba Group and Kunlun Group are very close, Alibaba’s team came directly by bus.
But although people are coming, the atmosphere is awkward.
As we all know, although Alibaba is called a high-tech company, it actually does not have much technological content, and it mainly focuses on intercepting traffic. Alibaba Cloud business unit is one of the few technical teams.
Gao Yuan wanted to do supercomputing, so he also asked Alibaba Cloud to join, but was misunderstood by Alibaba Cloud people and thought it was an insult.
After all, although cloud computing and supercomputing are both large computing clusters, the technologies used are different.
With Kunlun Group's status as the world, what kind of professional team can't be found? Why did it bring Alibaba's cloud computing group?
If you don’t use professionals, you can use interprofessionals. Isn’t this a psychopath?
Not only is Alibaba Cloud's team full of anger, but Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and almost all engineers who have been transferred from across majors feel depressed.
On the plane and train to Jiangnan, many engineers were reading with supercomputer information. They were temporarily cramming, fearing that they would make a fool of themselves after arriving at Kunlun Group.
A few days later, all kinds of people gathered in Kunlun. When people from the seven supercomputing centers met these cloud computing engineers, they were also puzzled. The profession was not right. What kind of plane was Boss Gao doing?
Cloud computing emphasizes general purpose, while supercomputers emphasize special purpose.
Cloud computing emphasizes distribution, while supercomputing emphasizes parallelism.
Cloud computing emphasizes cost, while supercomputers emphasize performance.
From this we can see that the initial goals of cloud computing and supercomputing are completely opposite. One is the feminine and changeable Nine Yin Divine Art, and the other is the masculine Nine Yang Divine Art. If you practice it together, it will become a sword technique that will cut off one sword...
"It's so inconspicuous!"
"You must ask Boss Gao to give me an explanation!"
"I want to see what jobs Boss Gao arranges for us cloud computing engineers."
Early in the morning, on the way to the meeting, the supercomputer engineers were extremely excited, while the cloud computing engineers felt more and more frustrated when they thought about it.
They really don’t understand supercomputer very much. If the task is over, they don’t know how to do it. Wouldn’t they make a fool of themselves on the spot?
...
The meeting was held at Kunlun Stadium.
The number of people gathered this time was too many, more than 10,000 people, which had already exceeded the carrying limit of the large staircase conference room. So the plateau invited everyone to an indoor stadium that could accommodate 15,000 spectators.
Gaoyuan walked up to the podium, coughed lightly, and glanced across everyone.
Then a curve rose up at the corner of his mouth.
"Some of the students' faces look so ugly, as if I owe you money. I guess you are all engaged in cloud computing." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
When Gaoyuan opened his mouth, some of them were anxious at that time.
"Boss Gao? Who are you mocking me??"
"It's obviously a supercomputing project, why do we also find cloud computing people?"
"Everyone's time is precious. Please ask Boss Gao to get straight to the point and don't waste each other's precious time!"
A few brave ones sat in the crowd and shouted loudly.
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go straight to the point."
"In my opinion, the underlying layers of cloud computing and supercomputing are based on powerful computing power, but there has been differentiation in the process of development."
"Just like today, you are unhappy and think that supercomputing has nothing to do with your cloud computing."
"I just want to ask one thing here? Is it really unrelated?"
"The same is true for large computing clusters. Is the separation of supercomputing and cloud computing a waste of resources?"
"The above is the problem we are going to solve this time."
"I will use technical means to re-converge supercomputing and cloud computing that have parted ways into the most powerful supercomputing cluster on the earth."
