Chapter 902: supercomputer

With a computing capacity of one trillion times per second, this kind of supercomputer is unimaginable now. After all, supercomputers have just developed.
Speaking of the first computer, everyone knows that it was Eniac, which was also developed for World War II, but when it comes to supercomputers, there is controversy.
Some people say that Shockley, who was the first to develop integrated circuits, revealed the idea of ​​the supercomputer in his work diary. Others said it was the idea of ​​Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which served the military at that time. But in a real sense, the person who developed a product that meets the definition of a supercomputer should be Dr. Simon Clay, who was later called the "father of supercomputers" in the West.
As an electronic engineer, Simon Clay was deeply influenced by his family. His parents were both engineers. He went to prestigious universities and then engaged in computer research at the Engineering Research Society and Remington-Rand Corporation. There, he designed his first computer ERA1101.
In 1960, the control data company, which had just been established for three years, accepted the commission of the Eagle State Atomic Energy Commission to get involved in the dangerous supercomputer field. The chief computer designer of this company was Cray, who was only 31 years old, and was a member of the UNIVAC design team.
Clay led his 34-person research team. After three years, he finally released a CDC6600 supercomputer, which he affectionately called a "simple stupid thing".
CDC6600 is a supercomputer in the true sense, with a total of 350,000 transistors installed and a calculation speed of 3 million times, which is 10 times that of other computers. By 1969, more than 150 sets of CDC6600 and improved CDC7600 supercomputers developed by Cray had been sold.
As a leader in computers, Cray is different from a savvy computer businessman like Bill Gates. He is a typical engineer. For 4 whole springs and autumns, I refused all social activities and immersed myself in drawing drawings and making parts. He didn't want to show his face even when awarding awards from famous academic groups, and for this he earned the nickname "Jungle Hermit".
In this way, until 1975, the newly developed "Cray 1" achieved ultra-high speed that was unique at that time-sustaining 100 million operations per second.
The size of this supercomputer is not huge, just like a set of open armchairs, with twelve "large closets" standing on the backrest, covering an area of ​​less than 7 square meters and weighing no more than 5 tons. About 350,000 integrated circuits were installed.
However, this kind of supercomputer has also reached its limit, and to continue to improve performance means that multiple CPUs must be invested to work for a program at the same time.
Massively parallel processing (MPP) began to become popular, and from this time, Intel, IBM, and SGI began to become upstarts in the field of supercomputers. Supercomputers have also begun to embark on the road of real commercialization.
In 1992, Intel launched the Paragon supercomputer, which became the first supercomputer in history to break the trillion floating point calculation barrier.
Now, Han Guo has achieved a breakthrough in CPU. As long as the CPU is stacked, the performance can be improved. The CPU technology is already Intel’s technology in the 1990s. Therefore, using Hanxin No. 1 to design performance It is definitely not a difficult task to count trillions of computers.
This is Qin Guan's idea.
When Qin Guan mentioned this data, Pellehak's eyes flashed with excitement. If such a computer appeared, his calculation would not be a problem at all.
Can the Han people make it out? If you look at their technology, it should be possible.
Then one can design a stealth fighter with a smooth appearance and build it on the basis of the Tomcat fighter. In this way, when the Air Force proposes a plan for a new generation of fighters, oneself can also take out the project to compete!
Grumman supplies the Navy, but it does not mean that they are not interested in Air Force projects. As long as they can make money, they all want to dabble. It is precisely because of this that the later Grumman Company , Through continuous mergers and development, it eventually grew into a large iconic company in the military industry.
"Then what kind of remuneration do you need?" Pellehak asked. After successful research on this type of supercomputer, calculations are quite expensive. It is not that you can borrow money if you have money.
Qin Guan shook his head: "We don't need any compensation, as long as you share the research results with us."
Pellehack was stunned immediately, Nima, this request is really shameless, actually asking for our results? We spent a lot of manpower and material resources to come up with the shape of a stealth machine, borrow your computer to calculate, and finally it becomes your own result?
This is too much, right?
"When our supercomputer is successfully developed, anyone who wants to borrow a computer needs to share the results with us. This is the condition for borrowing a computer." Qin Guan said.
As long as you have powerful performance, you can make all kinds of shameless requirements. Anyway, we are not asking you. You can wait until the 1990s and wait until your own domestic computers are developed before calculating.
Moreover, this is a requirement on the surface, secretly, if we secretly install the backdoor program, monitor the operation of your program, and finally get the calculation result, wouldn't it be the same?
Now we are upright.
Pellehak felt that a mouthful of old blood was about to be vomited out. The psychological process of first being disappointed, then full of hope, and finally becoming desperate, was quite a trial.
"If the Tomcat is used to improve and meet the stealth requirements, we can not only develop stealth fighters, but even with reasonable amplification, we can also get stealth bombers." Qin Guan continued: "In fact, stealth belts. The advantage of coming is even more reflected in the bombing of the ground, entering the enemy’s airspace silently, until the bomb is dropped, the enemy has no defense."
Hearing Qin Guan’s words, Pellehack was shocked. Of course he knew that this was his most secret plan. According to his own vision, the first task of the stealth machine was to kick the door. The first F-117 was stealth. The aircraft is being built intensively. This aircraft is a multi-sided structure because of insufficient computing power.
Therefore, when I saw Qin Guan's improved model based on the Tomcat, I would be so tempted and would exchange it with my own technology.
Now, Qin Guan had seen the surprise in the opponent's eyes, and knew that the opponent had already taken the bait, the stealth machine, first kicked open the opponent's airspace gate, in order to let those planes that did not have stealth capabilities in.
