536: Dawn Star Ocean Supercomputer!

Meanwhile, the presidents of the other companies also showed similar expressions.

It seemed that all companies were waiting for the 45-nanometer process technology to be implemented, and then they would turn the tide.

However, Shuguang Technology at this time did not know about this, nor did it know that the Semiconductor Alliance had already regarded Shuguang Technology as meat on the chopping board, planning how to carve meat from Shuguang Technology.

But no matter what, Shuguang Technology was still developing at a steady pace.

Whether it was the 32nm process, 5G Mobile Communication Technology, Industry 4.0, or the progress of Dawnlight Artificial Intelligence Technology, all were quite fast, and they would not become complacent because of a small victory.

So, who will win or lose in the future, and who will be the meat on whose chopping board, is still an unknown.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, February and March of 2007 passed, and the time quietly arrived on April 18, 2007.

On this day, Intel announced that they had successfully produced the world's first 45-nanometer process Chipset.

And they announced that they would hold a press conference on May 18, one month later, to officially release the Fourth Generation Core Processor.

This news, when it came out, naturally caused a super earthquake in the Global technology circle.

For a time, the entire Global technology circle was discussing the news that the West had successfully conquered the 45-nanometer process and once again led the Global.

And with such news coming out, the Da Xia internet media and people naturally became anxious.

The media and the people were all anxious about when Shuguang Technology's 45-nanometer process would come out, and anxious about the future of Da Xia semiconductors.

However, in the face of external anxiety, Shuguang Technology's focus at this time was not on the West's official breakthrough in 45-nanometer process.

Because the Xinghai Supercomputer that Shuguang Technology had spent several months building was about to begin trial operation!

Da Xia, Tianjin, in a newly built building on a high slope near the Haihe River and coastline.

"Is this the Shuguang Xinghai Supercomputer?"

The person who uttered the exclamation at this time was a serious-looking middle-aged man.

"Yes, this is the Shuguang Xinghai Supercomputer that we developed."

The person speaking at this time was Lin Chen, with a look of emotion.

Lin Chen was currently following behind this serious-looking middle-aged man, and given Lin Chen's status at this time, performing this action.

It can be foreseen that the status of this serious-looking man is truly quite high, enough to make many people sleepless at night.

On the other side, Ni Guangnan, the head of the Shuguang R&D Center, interjected:

"It has been a considerable period since we initiated the research and development of this Shuguang Xinghai Supercomputer, but its rapid implementation was ultimately due to Lin Chen.

I have to say that Da Xia has produced a Lin Chen, which is truly a blessing for our Da Xia semiconductor industry.

If there were no Shuguang Technology, then at this moment, let alone the theoretically strongest Supercomputer in the world before us.

Even whether our domestic computer Chipset and Mobile Chipset could be born would be a question."

After speaking, Ni Guangnan was truly filled with emotion, feeling that the most correct decision in his life was to join Shuguang Technology.

The reason was not how high a salary he received, nor how high his company status was.

The reason was that he realized his chip dream and the dream of a strong technological nation at Shuguang Technology!

"Lin Chen is indeed a great contributor to our semiconductor industry."

At this time, the serious-looking big shot gave an affirmative remark.

Upon hearing this, the high-level executives of the Dawnlight System who were accompanying him naturally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

With this remark from the big shot, Shuguang Technology, including several companies in the Dawnlight System, will be able to avoid many invisible troubles.

After all, Shuguang Technology has indeed become somewhat sensitive after growing to this point.

With this remark from the big shot, Shuguang Technology can avoid many tangible and intangible troubles, and does not have to worry about being "used and then discarded."

At this time, the serious-looking man's gaze turned to the Supercomputer next to him and said:

"Now let me see how powerful this Supercomputer, which is said to be able to change the world, is."

"Okay, then let's officially start the power-on test."

Lin Chen nodded and made arrangements for powering on with the staff on the other side.

Upon seeing this, the staff who received the order naturally became busy, and in the next few minutes, a series of hums resounded.

These hums mainly came from various upright super-large cabinets, each approximately one person tall and three shoulders wide.

Each of these super-large cabinets adopts a vertically layered blade structure, with a total of 1024 second-generation Ryzen R7 Processors using 65 nanometer process and 2048 Dawn GTX270 Graphics Card Chipset.

And there are a total of 40 such super-large cabinets!

In other words, the Shuguang Xinghai Supercomputer in front of us actually has a total of 40960 Ryzen R7 Processors and 81920 Dawn GTX270 Graphics Card Chipset!

It is worth mentioning that these second-generation Ryzen R7 Processors and second-generation Dawn GTX270 Graphics Cards are not normal Graphics Card sold on the market.

Instead, they are specially customized Chipset with ultra-high communication bandwidth and ultra-large operating cache, specifically for Supercomputer and other special scenarios.

Of course, relying solely on CPU and GPU Chipset is not enough, as how to allocate and coordinate the computing tasks of CPU and GPU and transmit high-speed bandwidth is a big problem.

After all, the true art of Supercomputer and the place where technology is distinguished as superb lies in how to perfectly utilize the performance of each chip, without causing an incident where one core is in trouble and multiple cores just watch.

Therefore, serving these 40960 specially customized Ryzen R7 Processors and 81920 specially customized Dawn GTX270 Graphics Card Chipset are 16 network cabinets and a core computer that is only responsible for task allocation and coordination, and not for computation.

Of course, this Shuguang Xinghai Supercomputer is not simply stacking several times more Chipset and network cabinets than the Sunway TaihuLight in the previous life.

Its main innovation lies in the cloud computing architecture conceived by Lin Chen, perfected by Academicians such as Ni Guangnan, and finally verified by Lin Chen through the Virtual Laboratory.

The official name of this cloud computing architecture is Xinghai Architecture, and its architectural feature, like the name "Xinghai," is that it can allow countless Chipset to form a sea of stars.

Among them, the system efficiency of this Xinghai Architecture is not high in the current Supercomputer field, only 53%, which is 1% worse than Tianhe-1, and even worse than Supercomputer with an average of over 55% in later generations.

But sacrificing system efficiency will inevitably gain greater advantages in other areas, and this advantageous area is like its name "Xinghai."

The biggest feature of its architecture, like the code name "Xinghai," is that it can continuously increase the number of Chipset while still maintaining relatively high efficiency. (End of this chapter)
