Chapter 86 New Ideas
Jiang Hao also knows that in a short period of time, it may not be possible to increase the computing power of the supercomputer again.

The attempt just now was just to try, where is the limit of this bunch of CPUs.

"Roger, over there in the United States, what does the supercomputer rely on for cooling?"

In fact, you can use an air conditioner to cool the high-speed CPU.

It's just that if you want to cool so many CPUs at the same time, the power required will be an astronomical figure.

As soon as Jiang Hao had this thought in his mind, he had to abandon it.

Hearing Jiang Hao ask this, Roger's brain started spinning rapidly.

"I remembered, deep-sea cooling. The US side uses deep-sea cooling to cool down supercomputers."

The short-lived excitement lasted no more than two seconds, and Roger seemed to have been splashed with cold water.

Although the temperature on the surface of the ocean is not particularly low, when entering the deep sea area, the temperature will drop below 3000 degrees after the depth reaches 0 meters.

Such a temperature is enough to completely absorb the heat emitted by the supercomputer, and it will not affect the overall temperature of the ocean.

After all, the volume of the ocean is huge, and the water inside is in a state of constant flow.

Therefore, even if the temperature of the water close to the processing unit rises, it will be washed to other places.

Although Zhongjiang is not far from the sea, with their level, there is no way to install a supercomputer in the deep sea.

The method of deep sea cooling is obviously not feasible.

"Only the deep sea cooling method?"

Jiang Hao asked again.

In Roger's laboratory, there are only a thousand processors, and the indoor temperature reaches more than 40 degrees in just ten seconds of operation.

If he wants to increase the capacity of the supercomputer to megabytes, Jiang Hao estimated in his mind that at least tens of thousands of processors are needed to achieve it.

And with so many processors running at the same time, without an effective cooling method, it may not be possible at all.

Roger shook his head.

"I'm afraid there is really no way to do this. Otherwise, we separate the processors and let each processor be in a separate room for heat dissipation?"

Jiang Hao gave him a blank stare.

Saying this is tantamount to not saying it.

If the processors are really separated, not to mention the staggering electricity bills, the number of air conditioners will require thousands of units, which is not the most troublesome.

Once all the processors are separated, the first is the size of the laboratory, just multiply by 10 on the current basis.

The second is the problem of device feedback. It is necessary to know that the farther the distance between the processors is, the lower the matching between them will be.

In this way, even if the heat dissipation problem is solved, it is only stronger than ordinary computers, and it is not considered a supercomputer at all.

After a moment of silence, Roger's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:

"There is another way!"

"Oh?" Jiang Hao glanced at him in surprise, waiting for his next words.

"Industrial conversion board!"

Seeing that he was a little puzzled, Roger brought the only running computer on site, that is, his own laptop, in front of the two of them, opened the browser, and entered the words "industrial conversion board".

Jiang Hao took a closer look, and from the interface that jumped out, a pattern of "industrial conversion board" instantly attracted his attention.

It consists of several uneven metal plates, which are circulated and cooled by adding coolant in the water, allowing the emitted heat to cool through layers, and finally keep the object in the middle at a lower temperature.

The manufacturer of this "industrial conversion board" and coolant is a private steel company in Huaguo, called Taihui Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.

Jiang Hao quickly analyzed it in his mind, and felt that this method is not only feasible, but also quite cheap.

Compared with the method Roger proposed earlier, the cost of this is almost negligible.

"Okay, that's it! I'll ask someone to contact Taihui to buy the 'industrial conversion board' and coolant as soon as possible. For your side, find a way to get more processors." Jiang Hao said .

"I still need a processor? Are these more than 1000 processors not enough?"

"Not enough! Roger, since we are going to do it, we must do our best. Although this is our first supercomputer, you should know that the calculation frequency of supercomputers in the United States was ten years ago. It's reached megabytes."

Roger nodded. The United States has not announced the computing power of its supercomputer for more than ten years, and the world's awareness of it is still ten years ago.

Of course, other countries in the world will definitely not think that the United States has not improved the computing power of supercomputers.

"It's okay to add processors, but..."

When Jiang Hao saw him stretching out his hand, he knew that this kid wanted money.

"Heh! There are no starving soldiers in this war. Don't worry, I will transfer 5 million to you first. If it is not enough, I will think of a way here."

Now that he can come up with 5 million, it is almost Jiang Hao's limit.

When renting the Yuntai building, it has already spent almost 5 million yuan.

When Zhongjiang No. [-] Middle School made a donation, another [-] million went out.

I have 13 billion in hand, and I originally had 7 million left, but the Blue Bay Villa in Yun Province is unfinished, and I still need some funds to carry out the next project. There are only a few hundred million, and I am afraid that in the end, it will be unfinished again. .

And soon to order a batch of "industrial conversion plates" and coolant, here is another expense.

Although the "industrial conversion board" can be used for a long time, the coolant needs to be replaced regularly, so at least a part of it should be kept in his hands as the maintenance cost of the supercomputer.

"5 million? Although it's a little short, it doesn't matter. I'll get the processor here first. When the supercomputer is up and running, I can rent it out at that time, so that I can quickly recover a sum of money to pay for the follow-up cost."

For the price of the processor, Jiang Hao is not clear.

But he knew that even the processor of a computer would cost thousands of Chinese dollars.

To meet his requirements and build a large-scale supercomputer, the price of the processor alone is basically above 10 billion.

But that didn't bother Roger.

As Luo Zhenyao's son, he naturally inherited part of his Lao Tzu's style.

Just like in construction, after the contract is signed, a small deposit is paid first, and a part is paid after the completion of the project, and the final payment is made after the thorough inspection and acceptance.

And the amount of processors to be purchased this time has reached 10 billion. Of course, it is impossible to pay all the money at once.

Once all the money is given out, if there is a problem later, I am afraid that there will be no place to cry.
