ps: In the previous chapter, Gozi was changed to chess.

As we all know, computers rely not only on hardware, but also software computing strategies play a key role for 32-channel computing centers.

How to maximize the performance of 32 processors is a very technical question.

Improper handling often leads to a scene where "one core is in trouble and multiple cores are watching".

Multi-processors and multi-core processors are essentially for scientifically allocating the computing power of processors or computing cores.

At this point, Wang Anran's professionalism obviously played a great role.

In 9102, although the single-core performance of the Amd Ryzen processor was slightly different from Intel, it completely crushed Intel in terms of multi-core processing capabilities.

The reason for collection is that it is due to the excellent zen microprocessor architecture, and the second is naturally the scientific design concept of parallel computing.

To give a simple example, 32 people go to plant trees, and a total of 320 trees must be completed. The ideal state is to allocate 10 trees per person, complete and finish the work.

But in fact, the thirty-two people were not affiliated with each other. After the system assigned tasks, the 32 people sat down to discuss and finally agreed that Xiao Ming, the most handsome guy, would work, and the others would serve as cheerleaders for Xiao Ming.

...

The solution is to choose one of the 32 people, and the task of the leader is given to the remaining thirty-one younger brothers, each of whom receives ten trees, and the extra ones are allocated to ten people, which is almost the same as the ideal state.

However, at this time the problem arose again. The leader found that the tree was big and small. Some people needed several people to plant it together, and some people could plant many quickly.

So he has to find a way to make all these people work. This method is the core of parallel computing.

Of course, for tree planting, they have no connection with each other's tasks. And 32 people make a dish together, which is a new model, and there is a problem of sequential execution.

You can’t cook first, pick up vegetables and wash vegetables after cooking!

Then it will be messy.

Wang Anran applied the design idea of ​​amd in multi-core parallel computing to 32-channel parallel computers. He did not choose to define one of the processors as the leader, but redesigned a task controller.

Make full use of the expertise of single instruction and multiple data streams. Each processor can access memory separately under the control chip. Bus communication is built-in between processors, and it runs in a unified architectural mode in multi-task collaborative processing.

The test results show that it is technically feasible and has excellent performance.

Darobes' confidence also comes from this. Since he dares to stand here to compete with ibm, he is naturally very confident in the performance of his own products.

And there is more than one who is equally confident.

Mr. Bourgeois, a technical engineer at ibm deep blue supercomputer, expressed dissatisfaction.

Today, he also came to the Boston Electronics Industry Exhibition Center to recommend his own computing center to electronic technology enthusiasts from all over the world.

Unexpectedly, the future technology from China challenged ibm.

Where is ibm's dignity in the semiconductor field?

Surrounded by American melon-eating crowds, Bourgeois agreed to their request as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, the top configurations of both companies use 32 Power 64 processors and 1 g of DDR memory. In fact, thanks to ibm's good manufacturing process, the memory performance of original Huaxin Technology authorized ibm to produce can reach 200mhz, which is significantly higher than that of 166mhzddr memory used by Quantum servers in the future.

However, for the ddr memory that appears in the sky, the computer's bottleneck at this time is not in the memory area. The bus bandwidth of the power 604 processor is only 166mhz. No matter how high the memory frequency is, it is not very useful.

Both sides can be said to be on the same starting line.

ibm has its own separate power unix system, and Future Technology is equipped with Huawei Software's latest Pangu 2.0 server system.

Fortunately, the program interfaces of both systems are both unix interface environments, so there is no problem of software compatibility.

How to compete? Darobes came up with a Dotor Ru testing software.

Bourgeois shook his head: "Mr. Darobes, we don't know whether he has made special optimizations to Quantum computers."

Darobes shrugged, and a man in a black suit and gray hair walked out.

As soon as Bourgeois saw the visitor, he walked up and stretched out his hand: "Dr. Kennikita, why are you here?"

The visitor said: "Dr. Bourgeois, the software you questioned was designed by me. We all need a software to judge the performance of the computer, right? Now it has it, and it is open source.

You can see him on the American Computing Center network, and if you have any comments on its source code, I think I'd be happy to accept it."

"Of course, okay..."

Bourgeois has nothing to say. Kennikita's prestige in the electronic science community can give his words sufficient credibility, and the other party also shows that everyone can read the source code of this software.

Of course, for Bourgeois, this software is enough as long as it is not provided by Future Technology.

The audience and reporters in the audience were already impatient and urged them to conduct the test as soon as possible.

Bourgeois gentleman waved his right hand and signaled that future technology would come first.

Darobes was not humble either. He picked up the Dortor ru software CD and put it in the optical drive. The software was installed soon.

Darobes opened the software, checked the PU test, and clicked on Start.

The next process is quite boring. First, it is integer calculation, a series of unit progress bars, and after that, it is done, double-precision floating-point calculation...

During this period, the audience also started to talk.

"Karls, who do you think will win?"

"This is still a question. It must be ibm, but I am still very interested in this future technology and chess game."

"Yes, as mentioned in science fiction, computers can also think."

"Will one day computers also generate independent unit awareness?"

Darobes saw the wind bends off the court, and everyone seemed to pay much attention. Is it natural to lose to ibm?

Quantum scored 288,700 points in the test results.

"Dr. Bourgeois, it's your turn."

Bourgeois took the disc and, amid the cheers in the audience, he was like a proud rooster, with cloth patterns scattering on the tuxedo.

Like Quantum server, after Bourgeois installed the software, he checked the PU test and clicked Start.

Fifteen minutes later, under the expectation of the audience, the test results appeared on the screen.

274,900 points!

How is that possible! ibm actually failed?

Bourgeois looked at Kennikita incredibly, and he asked to verify whether the lower the score, the better the performance of the computer.

"No, Mr. Bourgeoia..."

Kennikita's answer made Bourgeois' heart fall to the bottom.

The discussions in the audience made Bourgeoia's face hot.

"Is ibm actually defeated?"

"Yes, although there is only a gap of more than 10,000 points!"

"I doubt the fairness of this competition now."

"I think there should be no problem with the software developed by Dr. Kennikita."

...

Kennikita shook his head, he could guarantee that although he charged a $300,000 design fee for Future Technology, the software he designed was definitely based on the purpose of fair testing.

So he has a clear conscience.

But what surprised him was that he also used ibm's pu, but ibm actually lost and lost to Future Technology at home...

Bourgeois is also unwilling to accept it. Until now, he is still full of confidence in ibm's technology. So what's the problem?

"You must have overclocked the PU?"

Darobes shook his head and said, "Everyone, Quantum servers are facing the international market. Today we are very happy to see that Quantum servers have the strength that is not weaker than their peers. The purpose of our future technology is to provide the best technological services to the world..."

Bourgeois realized that the debate at this time was meaningless, since the other party's products were facing the global market.

Moreover, the test software is open source, so such tests will happen many times in the future. Will technology fake this risk in the future?

Obviously, as long as you are not mentally retarded, you will not make this mistake.

And Darobes today is not just about competing with ibm.

In fact, he didn't even mention the results of today's competition. In the end, Darobes successfully led the American melon-eating crowd to topics they were concerned about.

"Dear sirs, ma'am, you just saw this chess program. This is an interesting exploration of future technology in artificial intelligence.

Here, we solemnly invite Mr. Kasparov, the world champion of chess, to prove to all mankind whether it is a machine or a superior wisdom of human beings..."

boom!

The audience was in an instant.

"Computers challenge human wisdom?"

"I think Kasparov will definitely agree that he will use his wisdom to smash the machine."

"I feel like I'm about to boil..."

At the same time, a team sent by Future Technology came to Russia and had an interview with Kasparov.

"Mr. Kasparov, Future Technology has prepared a reward of $1 million for this game. Even if you lose, you can get a reward of $300,000."

...

The next day, Kasparov announced to the media that he agreed to the invitation of Future Technology to fight to defend the dignity of mankind.

On this day, the world's eyes were focused on this competition between humans and machines.

ibm chief engineer Belluk pushed open the computer on the desk.

"Human-machine war is the idea of ​​ibm. We have been preparing for this for two years. God, why is the protagonist of the present, turned into future technology."

Wang Anran looked at the newspaper in front of him with great interest. Future technology has made a big splash in the United States, which naturally attracted the attention of domestic media.

The melon-eating crowd generally said that future technology, yes!
Chapter completed!
