Rebirth: From Computer System to World Richest

Chapter 73 “Kunlun” Supercomputer Ranks First In The World! The Construction Cost Is 1.9 Billion Yua

The first-generation Kunlun K1000 chip finally adopted Loongson International's 7nm manufacturing process. Because the project was established relatively early, it is still a silicon-based chip.

The second-generation chip under development is based on graphene chips!

The chip is benchmarked against the POWr9 chip launched by idm. This chip developed by idm was eventually used in the "extreme" supercomputer!

The Extreme supercomputer, jointly developed by IDM and Xiangshuling Laboratory, is currently the world's most powerful supercomputer, with a floating-point computing speed of 1.486 billion floating-point operations per second!

The most powerful supercomputer in the Dragon Kingdom, "Shenwei TaihuLight", is currently ranked 6th in the world, with a floating point calculation speed of 9.3 trillion times per second!

"Beichen Technology either doesn't do it, or it has to be the best! The opponent we want to kill is the extreme supercomputer launched by idm!"

"I only have one thing to say, if you want people, give people, if you want money, give money. Beichen Technology will fully cooperate with your development!"

This is the goal Luo Yang has set for the supercomputing development team!

The entire development team is excited!

Now Beichen Technology is one of the software and hardware companies with the strongest R&D capabilities in the world!

Fully capable of challenging supercomputers!

The development team includes software and hardware technicians drawn from Beichen Technology and Future Semiconductor, as well as some technical personnel recruited from outside, including engineers who participated in the development of TaihuLight and Tianhe-2 supercomputers!

This huge technical team has more than 1,200 people!

All are elites in the industry04!

In order to benchmark extreme supercomputing, Beichen Technology has spent a lot of money!

POWR9 has 22 cores and its performance is very powerful, while the Kunlun K1000 chip adopts a 24-core design and is fully comparable to POWR eggs in terms of performance indicators!

In order to cooperate with the use of supercomputers in graphics computing, the graphics card development department also independently developed a GPU, which was eventually named Tianshan t1000!

Its opponent is the INVISTA tels-v100gpu used in extreme supercomputing!

Tianshan T1000, like Kunlun K1000, is a silicon-based chip, and the second generation graphene chip is already under development.

In terms of storage, graphene DDR4 memory designed by Future Semiconductor and graphene cmr hard drive are directly used. Graphene memory has large storage capacity, stable operation, and can reduce costs.

Luo Yang also joined in and was responsible for developing operating systems and parallel computing modules!

After many failures, everyone finally handed in a perfect answer sheet!

This supercomputer independently developed by Beichen Technology was finally named "Kunlun"!

The name Kunlun has a special meaning for the entire Beichen Technology.

As a sacred mountain in the myths and legends of the Dragon Kingdom, Kunlun Mountain has been one of the beliefs of the Dragon Kingdom since ancient times! The founder of Taoism, the Sanqing Dynasty, and the Queen Mother of the West are all related to Kunlun Mountain!

The Kunlun k1 architecture "is also a big killer for future semiconductors to successfully break the hegemony of Intel's x86 architecture!"

From architecture to chips to supercomputer naming, the name "Kunlun" will be remembered forever!

At the new headquarters of Beichen Technology, Luo Yang has reserved a large computer room specifically for supercomputers, where the Kunlun supercomputer is stored.

"The first generation of Kunlun supercomputer consists of 3360 servers. Each server has 3 Kunlun K1000 high-performance chips and 8 Tianshan T1000 series GPUs! The final running memory RAM reached a terrifying 10pb! And the hard disk memory reached 1000pb!”

(Note: 1pb=1024tb=1048576gb)

"The Kunlun supercomputer uses a total of 10,080 CPUs! and 26,880 GPUs!"

"The single cost price of the Kunlun K1000 chip is 12,000 yuan, and the single cost of the Tianshan T1000 GPU is 40,000 yuan. Both of them use Loongson International's 7nm production process. Just add up the two prices, and the cost price has reached a terrifying level. 1.196 billion dragon yuan!”

"In terms of storage, the memory sticks and hard drives are graphene memories designed by Future Semiconductor and manufactured by Changxin, so the manufacturing cost has been reduced a lot, but the final overall price reached 460 million yuan!"

"Including other equipment, as well as computer room construction and R&D expenditure costs, the cost is about 250 million yuan. The final cost of the entire Kunlun computer reached 1.906 billion yuan! About 297 million US dollars!"

In comparison, the cost of Taihu Light developed by Longguo was only 1.795 billion yuan!

The cost of extreme supercomputer is about 200 million U.S. dollars, which is about 1.287 billion yuan!

Although Kunlun supercomputing cost hundreds of millions more than Pole and TaihuLight, the final performance is also very powerful!

This supercomputer, which Luo Yang and the Beichen Technology development team have placed high hopes on, has a final floating-point calculation speed of a terrifying 1.87 petaflops!

If the data is released, Kunlun will directly reach the top of the world!

"However, this data is still only a temporary lead!"

Luo Yang doesn't let the data go to his head.

"Currently, both the Dragon Kingdom and the United States have started the development of e-class supercomputers, which means the floating-point calculation speed exceeds 10 billion times per second! It is directly more than 8 times the peak performance of Kunlun Computer!"

"You can't become fat in one bite. The second-generation Kunlun computer will use graphene chips! By then, the performance of supercomputers will be explosively improved. Perhaps Beichen Technology will surpass the Dragon Kingdom and the United States and continue to take the lead in developing e-class super computers. Calculate!"

Luo Yang's eyes reveal deep ambition!

Currently, Longguo and the United States are both expected to deliver e-class supercomputers after 2021. Beichen Technology can develop the first-generation Kunlun supercomputer in just half a year, so it might be possible to manufacture the second-generation supercomputer in advance!

"Even if it is not an e-class supercomputer, the first-generation Kunlun supercomputer is still the most powerful in the world! Xiaobei can also further lift the hardware restrictions and exert more powerful capabilities!

"Even if the Eden hacker collective attacks, Xiaobei can completely block it with the help of Kunlun supercomputer and Egret Cloud's huge server module support!"

As Beichen Technology grows, the requirements for information security defense are getting higher and higher!

The emergence of Kunlun supercomputer can be said to have solved one of Luo Yang’s worries!

The first Kunlun supercomputer currently in mass production has been fully put into use. With the support of the supercomputer, Xiaobei can fully undertake the entire unmanned driving system of Longguo and complete a huge task in a very short time. data processing!

With the support of 5g, the data transmission speed of the unmanned driving system is extremely fast. Just as Longguo has increased its efforts to support unmanned driving in recent years, the emergence of 5g communication is the real arrival of the unmanned driving system. one day!

In addition to the core program Xiaobei to process data, the unmanned driving system also requires a series of sensing instruments, radar sensors, infrared sensors, distance sensors, etc. A truly mature unmanned driving system, even if it is offline status, you can still drive relatively safely!

In this regard, Luo Yang has strong confidence!

At present, the first-generation driverless system has been running on Beichen Automobile developed by the automotive department, and is currently undergoing a series of close tests in the factory of Yunchi Automobile!

"Beichen cars with truly driverless functions will sweep the world once they are launched!"

Luo Yang has strong confidence in this aspect!

In addition to these, the power development department under the hardware laboratory is also designing a high-power traction motor. After Yunchi Automobile joined, its motor development department has been merged into the hardware laboratory department, and has more sufficient R&D funds. , the two parties began to jointly develop this new traction motor!

Similarly, the first-generation motor prototype has been used in Beichen Automobile.

With sufficient power provided by the graphene battery, Luo Yang is very satisfied with the data displayed by this traction motor.

In addition to high-power traction motors, the power development department is also developing 613 fuel vehicle engines and aero engines!

"Judging from the current situation, the penetration rate of traction motors is still not high enough. Many industries still need fuel engines. Investment in scientific research in this area is necessary!"

Even though Luo Yang plans to personally promote the arrival of the era of electric vehicles, Luo Yang still makes extra preparations in terms of basic reserves.

Assume that electric vehicles are used all over the world. If a war breaks out one day and the enemy launches an EMP electromagnetic pulse bomb into the Dragon Kingdom, which directly paralyzes most electronic equipment, the electric vehicles will be paralyzed on the spot!

Traditional fuel engines have relatively high requirements for industrial processing. After acquiring Canghai Manufacturing and Tianqing Machinery, Luo Yang has been developing domestic five-axis CNC machine tools, which are industrial mother machines!

Currently, after Xiaobei’s upgrade, the brand new five-axis CNC machine tool has officially rolled off the production line!

This completely domestically produced five-axis CNC machine tool has reached the world's first-class level in terms of processing accuracy. Its accuracy is not inferior to that of Deguo's CNC machine tools!

Regarding this news, Luo Yang has been keeping silent, preparing to use it as a trump card and play it at the right time!

Unlike automobile engines, in addition to machining accuracy, aerospace engines also have very high requirements for all aspects of alloys. For this reason, Luo Yang set up a separate alloy development team!

Since Luo Yang intends to enter the engine industry, an alloy formula that can reach high-end aerospace engines is essential!

This team is responsible for the research and development of various alloy formulas, and the data for its research is exactly the alloy formula that Xiaobei obtained from the Lockheed Martin server!

After this period of big data deduction, Xiaobei successfully deduced some new metal formulas based on the technical information of Lockside Martin. After the changes, the characteristics of Lockside Martin technology are no longer visible at all. shadow!

However, these formulas need to go through a series of rigorous tests. Luo Yang secretly recruited a group of relevant technical personnel and began the development of alloy formulas!

At present, Luo Yang has only come up with one of the formulas, which is the product Luo Yang is preparing to launch externally. .
