Due to the great importance of keeping the confidentiality of the computer core technology CPU in foreign countries, there are clear regulations on the transfer of CPU technology and cannot be transferred to China. Even if Yang Xing acquires a foreign design team, he cannot blatantly transfer the CPU design technology. Otherwise, no matter how much money he spent to clear the acquisition, he would not be able to complete the acquisition.

For this reason, he could only secretly set up another group to steal out and hand over many key technologies of Tai Chi CPU to them. Yang Xing did not want to be sanctioned by the United States and other countries in the future due to technology leakage. He also knew what the design of the CPU meant to the country, so he had to steal himself and keep the operation of this secret group under the surveillance of Zhongxing International and the military. No information could be leaked.

Finally, there is never a shortage of smart people in China. With the development of Tai Chi CPU, this "Polaris" CPU that was launched at the same time has also been released. Unlike Tai Chi CPU, the research and development goal of Polaris CPU was focused on servers and supercomputers that were particularly needed in China. In particular, in order to catch up with the digital military trend, the military has given high hopes for the "Polaris" and provided most of the funds and personnel for the "Polaris" project.

So when the supercomputer "Ming" 1, equipped with the nationally produced Polaris CPU chip, secretly announced its commissioning in Shenzhen, the military's Minister of National Defense, General Staff, General Equipment Department, and Vice Premier Wen Rengui all arrived specially, and was excited to witness the unveiling of the supercomputer developed by China's own technology.

The so-called supercomputer refers to the computer composed of thousands of CPUs and uses parallel computer technology to complete large and complex topics that ordinary PCs and ordinary servers cannot complete. Strictly speaking, the earliest computers are actually supercomputers. After all, whenever you talk about supercomputers, a huge room will appear in your mind. The scene of staff wearing white anti-static clothing walking around is really serious and serious!

But this is all the old calendar. The development of technology has actually changed this scene. The computers that filled a large room in the 1950s and 1960s are now probably not as fast as the main chips of the S-series mobile phones. The supercomputer scene has not changed, but the running speed has been running towards the target of billions of times. It is estimated that the marks of one trillions of times and tens of trillions of times are just around the corner, and it has completely embarked on a different development direction than ordinary computers.

Supercomputers have been used by many countries in areas that require super-large-scale computing, such as military, meteorological, environmental, etc. Because the research and development of supercomputers reflects the highest achievements of a country in this neighborhood, it is called the "crown of computer technology", and has long been controlled by the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries.

The successful development of "Galaxy One" in 1983, which can run at a maximum of 100 million times per second, marks that my country has joined the few international national clubs that can develop supercomputers. However, due to the generation difference between my country and abroad, my country has unique features in the technology research and development of supercomputers, but it has to be restricted by foreign countries in selecting many major components, especially the embarrassing situation of core CPUs using foreign products for a long time.

As the heart of supercomputer chips, they are the core components that determine the speed of supercomputers. However, my country has been unable to develop satisfactory finished products for a long time, and can only use products from foreign companies such as ibm and Intel. This is not only unfavorable to the speed of supercomputers that surpass foreign countries, but also poses huge hidden dangers in terms of protection.

In view of this, China has been working hard to develop CPUs with completely independent intellectual property rights. Li Guangnan was the first to launch a CPU project within Lenovo Group, which included considerations in this regard. Unfortunately, he was kicked out of Lenovo before his ambition was fulfilled. In the end, it was thanks to Yang Xing's enthusiasm for developing domestic CPUs. He took in and let him lead the team to develop CPUs. Finally, he successfully developed Tai Chi CPUs and got his long-cherished wish.

When the Tai Chi CPU R&D team was established, Yang Xing had the idea of ​​asking other domestic departments to help with funds and manpower. After all, the domestic desire for self-developed CPUs is well known, and the semiconductor industry is a well-known high-risk industry, and no one dares to guarantee CPU R&D. Yang Xing didn't want to have a "semi-inverted" one, and then the bamboo basket was useless. So he found the military that he had cooperated many times. Due to the good record of cooperation, the two sides hit it off, and Yang Xing easily convinced the military to participate in R&D together.

Previously, they secretly collaborated to build a wafer factory in Jiudu. On this basis, the two sides established a chip factory called "Polaris", which is mainly responsible for the development of chips for military supercomputers and battlefield network servers. Last year, Zhongxing successfully recruited Chen Siqin, an American Chinese, an authoritative supercomputer research and development figure in the United States, and "Ming" finally won a major breakthrough.

The United States is the birthplace of IT in the world, and many of the people who created the I-rade era for the United States are foreign experts, including many overseas Chinese. Among these Chinese, two of them are the most famous and the most authoritative. One of them is Wang An, the computer king who was accepted by Yang Xing, and the other is Chen Siqin, who is known as the "father of supercomputers".

Chen Siqin is well-known in the United States and is a veteran expert in supercomputer research and development. In 1979, he joined Clay, which was monopolized in the supercomputer market at that time. He stayed for twenty years and was even appointed as the next president of Clay Company, with rich experience in supercomputer research and development.

However, his disappointment with the existence of American companies against the "glass ceiling" of foreign executives and his determination to serve the motherland made him finally choose the olive branch extended by Nebula Electronics to return to China to start a business, and also took away the entire Chinese design team. With his assistance, domestic supercomputers have been making great progress. Shortly after the birth of Tai Chi CPU, Polaris CPU also walked out of the laboratory and applied it to domestic servers, and received a warm response. The most critical time for trial operation on supercomputers was put on the agenda.

The trial operation of the "Ming" supercomputer marks another breakthrough in the country's major core key technologies, and its significance is no less than the "two bombs and one satellite" of that year, so both the military and the government sent representatives to attend its unveiling ceremony.

The host of "Ming" is located in the Southern Supercomputer Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenzhen. Its external publicity is the crystallization of the cooperation between Xingdou Research Institute and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Institute of Computer Science in the Chinese Academy of Sciences is located in Tianjin and two branches in Shenzhen. The emergence of "Ming" will not attract much attention. At the unveiling ceremony, Chen Siqin, a special expert of Xingdou Research Institute and an honorary academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed countless supercomputers in his life, but she is still very proud of this "Ming". After all, this is a result entirely developed by the Chinese team. It marks a step forward in the country's breakthrough of foreign high-tech and a world-class tech power.

Chen Siqin's speech was passionate, and he certainly had a reason to be proud. The newly developed "Ming" supercomputer not only operated at an international level, but also adopted a superturbine blade computer system that he had just applied for a patent and was considered to represent the future development direction of supercomputers. This was the inspiration he got from the aircraft engine turbine blades after years of being at Clay and was exposed to thousands of supercomputers. As the world's earliest developer and patent owner of the "superblade computer" design concept, what is more exciting than seeing his own ideas become a reality?

The experts present also had a very high evaluation of this. With the increasing speed of supercomputers' computing, power consumption and maintenance costs have also increased significantly, which has become the main factors restricting the development of supercomputers. The design concept of "super blade computer" is to integrate the functions of a server into a blade-shaped motherboard. Each motherboard is a computer that runs directly, inserts countless blade servers into the cabinet and continuously expands. The turbine cooling system of each server is used to greatly reduce the temperature of the entire cabinet. During maintenance, you can only take out the faulty blade server and replace it with a new one, without having to disassemble the entire cabinet for repair, which greatly reduces the difficulty of repair.

Yang Xing knew that this technology was not only successfully applied to supercomputers, but also shone brightly in the server field and became a promising patent. So he looked at Chen Siqin like he was staring at a goose that could lay golden eggs, thinking that he must protect him and his patents, this is a money tree!

With Chen Siqin pressing the button, the "Ming" supercomputer was officially launched and entered the supercomputer running speed test program announced by the International Supercomputer Association. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the results. The development trend of supercomputers is now exceeding trillions of times. In 1997, the Intel Asci Red supercomputer in Shandia Laboratory in the United States broke this record for the first time, using the Pentium 2xeon processor designed by Intel for servers, with a main frequency of about 400 Hz. The main frequency of Polaris exceeds 500 Hz and adopts the most advanced blade architecture, so everyone is looking forward to the trillion-dollar record of Chinese supercomputers.

After a boring wait, everyone held their breath and watched the experts on the scene check the results. After a joint evaluation by many experts present, Chen Siqin proudly announced, "Ming's highest peak operating speed has just exceeded 3 trillion times, and China has entered the ranks of supercomputer powers with a trillion-dollar computing speed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the supercomputing center suddenly burst into a boil, applause and tears intertwined. At this historic moment, everyone's efforts finally got the rewards they deserved.
Chapter completed!
