Black tech predators

Chapter 168 [Surprised Dawn Technology]

If a bionic robot is really going to become a secretary assistant, if Xiaoqing is exposed, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world, and there will even be rumors that it will set off an artificial intelligence crisis.

Xiaoqing's current level of intelligence is equivalent to that of a human girl, and she already has an emotional logic analysis ability that is almost the same as that of a human being. She has already left the human-computer interface similar to "Jarvis" in the "Iron Man" movie.

She is gradually forming her own personality, and Xiaoqing in the future will inevitably become more and more human-like.

After tidying up his desk casually, Gu Cheng went out of his office to meet with Qiu Shiming, and said hello to Lao Qiu about the introduction of supercomputing.

Tianqing Technology's first large-scale investment project in the new year was finalized so quickly. In fact, even if Xiaoqing didn't clamor to "settle down" over-computing, Tianqing would definitely introduce its own investment for its own development needs. Supercomputer operates independently.

As a high-tech company, Tianqing Company has a very large demand for supercomputers. The previous technology development work frequently used the supercomputer located a hundred kilometers away from the next door—Sunway TaihuLight.

However, for a private company with a non-operational supercomputing business, it can only operate a supercomputing company independently and aim to be the world's number one supercomputing company. It can only be said that money is good.

In the near future, after the completion of the supercomputing center at the Hive Headquarters, all employees within the company can use the supercomputing resources for free, whether it is for work or their own personal hobby research, as long as they are not working hours, and private research is also available. All supercomputing resources are free to use.

Having money is willful.

There is no doubt that the supercomputing center is the infrastructure of Tianqing Technology, and it is the incubation pool for the birth of high-efficiency technology, which will inevitably drive high-yield technology.

Only when R&D is frequent will there be a significant demand for computing power resources.

……

Tianjing, Sugon headquarters.

Sugon is a national high-tech enterprise established on the basis of the national "863" plan under the vigorous promotion of the National Academy of Sciences. It is also one of the leading enterprises in the fields of high-performance computing, servers, cloud computing, and big data in Huaguo.

It has ranked No. 100 in the market share of the Top [-] list of Huaguo high-performance computers for eight consecutive years. Provided significant technical support.

This morning, Xu Wenchao, who works as the assistant to the president of Shuguang Company, came to the president's office in a hurry: "President Li, great news, Tianqing Technology just contacted our company and appointed us to provide them with a supercomputing solution as soon as possible."

Li Jun is the current director and president of Shuguang Company. He couldn't help being surprised when he heard the assistant's words: "What did you say? Tianqing Company? They want to buy a supercomputer?"

Xu Wenchao nodded: "That's right, and the performance is required to reach 243.5petaflops."

Li Jun was shocked and said in shock, "243.5 petaflops?"

It is still quite difficult to achieve more than 200 petaflops performance, but now, there are no insurmountable barriers in terms of technical problems.

But even so, there is no national supercomputing center or research institution to easily build a supercomputer with such a powerful computing power. It is not impossible, but it is too expensive. The budget is several billion yuan, and the maintenance cost is expensive.

Institutions that need supercomputers are nothing more than national laboratories or scientific research institutions and some high-tech companies, and the demand for computing power is relatively large. At the same time, supercomputing centers are gradually opened to the general public.

But the problem is that even if ordinary people or college students need to use supercomputing, the general computing power demand of 10 cores is almost the sky, and the time is compressed to within one or half an hour.

Building a supercomputing center is not suitable for commercialization. Even if the price is reasonable, it is still a high cost for ordinary people or college students, and powerful computing power is rarely used.

A supercomputer with a performance of over 200 petaflops, not to mention the initial investment cost of billions, will not be able to handle it. After the construction is successful, the maintenance cost will be unbearable. It will cost 80 million yuan in electricity bills just to operate at full capacity for a day. In a year, electricity expenses will cost two or three billion yuan.

Therefore, supercomputing centers generally rely on state funding to maintain their expenses. Even if there is public funds, it is a heavy burden. Common commercial companies will not independently operate a supercomputer. The maintenance of [-] million is daunting.

Not only did Tianqing Technology have to build a supercomputer, but it also had a performance requirement of 243.5 petaflops. Of course, Li Jun was surprised.

Mr. Li is certainly no stranger to this company. At present, more than 100 technology companies in the ICT field in China have joined the "Tianqing Architecture" camp, and Sugon Technology is one of the members, and it is a core member.

Although Li Jun was surprised, he was relieved after digesting the news.

This company cannot be judged by common sense. Other companies cannot afford supercomputers, but Tianqing Technology’s independent operation is absolutely no problem. Just go to Tianqing Technology’s official website to find out the list of investment projects they announced. Investment projects are all behind.

"It's amazing. I dare to conclude that the future of this company will grow to an extremely terrifying level." Li Jun asserted after expressing his emotions. Spending billions to build a private supercomputer is definitely not for the name of Top1. One thing is beyond doubt, that is, this company must need a lot of computing resources?

And this is undoubtedly a key indicator to measure the speed of progress and output of a technology company in technological development. Otherwise, it would be impossible to require such a huge computing power resource, so that it directly introduces a supercomputer to operate independently.

"Oh, by the way, Wen Chao, you just said that Tianqing Technology appointed our company to provide supercomputing solutions for it? Are you sure you didn't invite our company to open bidding?" Li Jun, who suddenly thought of this, quickly looked at the person in front of him. 39-year-old woman.

"That's right, we are appointed." Xu Wenchao replied affirmatively.

After the reconfirmation, Li Jun finally couldn't help but be overjoyed. This nearly 50 billion business contract is a rare super large order for Sugon and even for the entire supercomputing industry.

He never expected that Tianqing Technology would actually appoint Suguang Technology as the solution, and a feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky suddenly arose spontaneously. This kind of large order should be open bidding.

Sugon Technology is indeed a top domestic company in the industry, but the strength of several other peer companies is not weak, and they are actually on par with Sugon Technology.

If the major peers see this cooperation, they will probably die of envy. You must know that the market share of the supercomputing industry is actually not large, because of its nature, it is destined not to become a mass consumer product, and can only provide computing power for large institutions or scientific research institutes. infrastructure services.

So far, there are only more than 200 supercomputers in the whole country after so many years, and most of them are ordinary supercomputers with an investment of less than 10 billion. There may not be a single supercomputing project of the order of 50 billion in two or three years.
