I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 1027 The progress of research and development of photonic computers

It can't be taken lightly. Although they have not made a big move, it does not mean that their technology is really not good. As far as I know, at least more than 7 countries have not given up research work in this area. The investment in the research field is no less than that of our company.

Therefore, you can't slack off in the laboratory. The company's technical advantages are hard to come by. If you want to bring higher profits to the company in the long run, this technical advantage cannot be lost!

As far as our company itself is eager to use supercomputers with better performance, of course other countries and companies also need it. Even if it is not urgently needed now, it will definitely be needed in the future, otherwise they cannot be in this regard developed. Lei Tiantang reminded with a smile.

I know the boss, if the company's excellent research conditions are surpassed by others, then we will be embarrassed! Liu Lishuang said confidently.

Okay! I look forward to your breakthrough as soon as possible! Come on, let's see here in the lab on a chip, let's go to the future lab above! Lei Tiantang smiled and nodded.

1 nanometer is equivalent to 4 times the size of an atom, which is much smaller than the length of a single bacterium. It is indeed very difficult to build a chip at this scale, so Lei Tiantang does not intend to urge them.

Although both he and the company have a higher pursuit of chip performance, the performance of the company's internal 3-nanometer technology chips is temporarily sufficient.

Moreover, he did not put Baodu on the improvement of computing power brought about by the breakthrough of chip technology in the conventional sense. This is also what he will inspect next.

Accompanied by Liu Lishuang, Lei Tiantang came to the photonic computer laboratory on the 6th floor. This and the 7th floor above are photonic computer laboratories, and the 8th and 9th floors above are quantum computer laboratories. , and more above, such as molecular computer laboratory, DNA computer laboratory and so on.

And these computer laboratories together form the future laboratory of the next generation computer research and development of the Infinite Gravity Group. Any breakthrough in these laboratories may change the future of mankind.

Therefore, although all of them are in a state of net investment up to now, and the total investment of these laboratories has exceeded 20 billion US dollars each year in the past two years, neither Lei Tiantang nor the company's management have interrupted such investment. .

Tell me about the progress of the research and development here, I haven't paid attention to this place for a while! Lei Tiantang said with a smile after looking around.

At present, we are still solving more problems encountered in the research process, but a certain breakthrough has been made in the light-emitting element, which allows our second-generation photonic computer to operate at a speed of 5 billion times per second. Successfully increased to 50 billion times per second.

Not only has the computing performance increased by 10 times, but the size of the second-generation photonic computer has also been reduced by half, and the stability has also been greatly improved, and the environmental requirements have also decreased.

Liu Lishuang let Yuanyuan project a comparison chart of the first-generation photonic computer and the second-generation photonic computer, and showed the research progress of the laboratory while introducing.

It's alright, it's not bad to be able to reduce the scale of three bedrooms and two halls to a small apartment with two bedrooms and one hall, but this size is still too large, and the calculation speed is also very impressive, but at least it jumps from the home computer level. It's at the workstation level! Lei Tiantang waved his hand and fiddled with the projection of the second-generation photonic computer and couldn't help but complain.

It's no wonder that he would complain. The speed of 50 billion operations per second seems to be a large number, but an ordinary workstation can probably have this speed.

What's more, even though the size of this second-generation photonic computer has been shrunk by half, the entire computer occupies more than 60 square meters of space. Obviously, no one would want to use such a large workstation-level computer.

There is no way, we need to make great efforts every step forward, because although this kind of computer research is being done at home and abroad, the progress is not as good as ours.

Therefore, our current research has no experience to learn from. We can only grope and move forward. We need to solve any problems by ourselves, and almost all the problems encountered are very difficult. Solving these problems is not easy. matter. Liu Lishuang said with a wry smile.

He also knew that the boss was not criticizing them when he said this, but he couldn't help but want to explain that the research and development of such cutting-edge technology was never easy!

Photonic computer is a new type of computer that performs digital operations, logical operations, information storage and processing by optical signals. It is composed of lasers, optical mirrors, lenses, filters and other optical components and equipment. It relies on laser beams to enter the array composed of mirrors and lenses for information processing. Photons replace electrons, and optical operations replace electrical operations.

The parallel and high speed of light naturally determines that the photonic computer has strong parallel processing capability and ultra-high computing speed. Photonic computers also have fault tolerance similar to the human brain. When a component in the system is damaged or faulty, it does not affect the final calculation result.

The information distortion and distortion caused by the transmission of photons in the optical medium are extremely small, the energy consumption and heat dissipation during optical transmission and conversion are extremely low, and the requirements for environmental conditions are much lower than that of electronic computers.

It is these advantages that make the world look forward to this kind of future computer, and many countries and companies with strong technology have carried out research work on this kind of computer.

Although as early as the early 1990s, a laboratory in the United States made the world's first photonic computer. It uses gallium arsenide optical switches and operates at a speed of 1 billion times per second. However, after so many years, the real photon Computers haven't even been around yet.

From this point, we can see the difficulty of research and development of this kind of computer. It seems that the photonic computer seems to be simpler than the quantum computer and other future computers above, but this does not mean that the research process is really simple, otherwise It's not like nearly 40 years have passed without a qualitative breakthrough!

I know, but this also proves that our company has truly been at the forefront of the world's scientific research field, which is something we are very proud of, and I also know about your efforts!

But to tell the truth, at this level, sometimes hard work is important, but ideas are more important. As long as those geniuses that our company is eyeing have no anti-human character and no moral bottom line, they will be recruited for me!
