May 23, more than one o'clock in the afternoon.

The Green Lake Hotel, the large box of Dream Entertainment reservation, the atmosphere of the luncheon is very harmonious. AMD's CEO Dirk Meyer and Li guess whispered that Dirk Meyer is a bit drunk, and Li guess seems to be a bit confused. I really don't know the two drunk guys. What questions can I talk about, maybe who is better to drink?

Shi Lei looked at Tom Krussie, senior vice president of AMD, and asked, "Mr. Tom, what kind of gifts have you prepared?"

Tom Cluj smiled and said: "Mr. Shi, we have a supercomputer for the dream entertainment company!"

"Supercomputer?" Shi Lei asked strangely.

The supercomputer origin of Dream Entertainment is purchased from AMD, but the computing performance is a little bit less powerful, only 10tflops. Although the actual performance of the origin of supercomputers, in the world's top 500 supercomputer rankings, can also rank in the 59th, in the eyes of Shi Lei, the performance of supercomputer origin, is completely rookie goods, not in the eyes !

"Yes, our AMD company, before focusing on the dream entertainment company, we found that the dream entertainment company, was hacked, the original supercomputer made by AMD, perhaps in terms of performance, can not meet the needs of dream entertainment. So, in order to celebrate our AMD company's integration into the Mi Rui Technology Group's system and become a subsidiary of Dream Entertainment, we have prepared a high-performance supercomputer for the Dream Entertainment Company as a gift to Dream Entertainment." Tom K. Lucy explained.

Shi Lei listened to the high-performance supercomputer and immediately became interested. He asked: "How high can the computing performance be achieved by the supercomputer you prepared?"

If it is just a general supercomputer, such as 30tflops, or 50tflops, Shi Lei really has no interest. After all, from 10tflops to 50tflops, there is not much essential difference in Shi Lei.

"Mr. Shi, we are preparing a supercomputer. In terms of design theory, the calculation speed can reach 320tflops, but with the supercomputer operating system developed by AMD, it can only use about 200tflops of computing resources."

There is always a big gap between the theoretical speed value and the actual performance of supercomputers. Even the fourth-generation supercomputers have no way to avoid this problem.

For example, the current world's number one supercomputer, the blue gene / L design theory calculated value reached 367.0tflops, in fact, the blue gene / L can use computing resources, only 280.6tflops, hardware utilization reached 76.46.

Although the second-ranked supercomputer Red Storm, the hardware utilization rate reached 79.6; affiliated with Lijian National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the eighth-ranked supercomputer Columbia, reached a hardware utilization rate of 85.1.

In fact, IBM's design of the blue gene / L super computing, equipped with a supercomputer operating system, has been quite advanced. Because the hardware utilization of the supercomputer increases rapidly with the increase of theoretical calculation performance.

As a simple example, a supercomputer has 100 CPU cores inside, and another supercomputer has 1000 CPU cores. So, can it be the same to control 100 CPU cores and control 1000 cores?

Coordinating the internal CPU core of the supercomputer to work together, whether it is software design or hardware design, is the core technology of supercomputer.

Supercomputer Red Storm's design theory calculation performance is 127.4tflops, which is about one-third of the supercomputer blue gene/L; and the eighth-ranked supercomputer Colombia, the theoretical calculation performance is only 61.0tflops, which is blue. One-sixth of the color gene / L.

Therefore, the hardware utilization of the two supercomputers is higher than that of the blue gene/L, and there is no strangeness at all. If the red storm and Columbia's design theory calculation speed values ​​are raised to the same level as the theoretical value of the blue gene / L, their hardware utilization will be exceeded by the blue gene / L in a flash.

AMD's newly established supercomputer, the theoretical calculation value is not blue gene / L high, the actual available computing resources, but the blue gene / L; hardware utilization only pitiful 62.5, far less than Blue gene / L.

IBM specializes in server manufacturing, which is definitely not comparable to AMD. If IBM wants to produce a central processor in the personal computer field and has a powerful software company, it is willing to develop a non-X86-based operating system for IBM. Supporting software, then Intel and Microsoft will be very depressed.

In fact, Microsoft can succeed and has a very big relationship with IBM. When Microsoft was founded, it was helped by IBM, or else it succeeded?

“Is the design theoretical value reaching 320tflops?” Shi Lei’s eyes are shining. Although the supercomputer system developed and manufactured by AMD is indeed a little bit of food, the hardware utilization rate is relatively low, but Shi Lei does not need AMD’s supercomputer system. You can take over the supercomputers that AMD has prepared. As long as the hardware design inside the supercomputer is not defective, the hardware utilization will increase in a flash.

"Well, it's just that the hardware utilization is a little bit wrong. We will make some modifications and enhancements for the specific use of Dream Entertainment." Tom Cruise said a little embarrassed. AMD's supercomputer system is recognized as a little bit unreliable.

In general, in addition to small and medium-sized enterprises, large enterprises have the ability to design supercomputer systems on their own.

Shi Lei’s face was excited, but Mushuang frowned. She used English to say: “Sorry, Mr. Tom, Shi Lei, I interrupted your conversation.”

"Hey, frost, do you have anything to say?" Shi Lei asked in Xia Guoyu.

On the other side of Ling Yu Mo Shi Lei, I heard Shi Lei’s nickname for Mu Shuang, and there was a strange light shining in his eyes. ‘Mu Sister, what happened to you and Shi Lei? Why did Shi Lei suddenly change the name for you? ’

"Shi Lei, you don't want to talk, I have something to ask about AMD's personnel, do you understand?" Mushuang's tone said seriously.

Shi Lei nodded, and he secretly guessed what Mu Moss had to ask AMD.

Tom Krussie was glanced at Mu Shuang, his expression was dignified, and he is now very clear about Mu Shuang's position in the Mi Rui technology system. Shi Lei claims to own a 15% stake in Mi Rui Technology. Originally only 5 percent, after the loan incident, Shi Lei took the opportunity to increase his holdings.

Tom Cluj is very good at observing and seeing one. Seeing one of the shareholders of Mi Rui Technology, Shi Lei attaches great importance to Mu Shuang. Of course, he will not be too stupid to ignore the authority of Mu Shuang.

"Ms. Mu, may I ask if you have anything?" Tom Krussie asked in English with a faint respect.

"Mr. Tom, although I don't quite understand the issues related to supercomputers, the supercomputer you just mentioned, even if it is the cost of manufacturing, shouldn't it be cheap?" Mushuang asked.

Tom Cluj's face changed slightly.

Shi Lei listened to Mu Shuang's question, and understood a little bit about what Mu Shuang meant. He also looked at Tom Krussie, waiting for Tom Cluj's explanation.

"Ms. Mu, Mr. Shi, the cost of that supercomputer costs about 300 million US dollars." Tom Cruise said in truth that this estimate is not much different from the estimates made by Shi Lei and Yi Zhuer. The difference.

Mu Shuang chuckled and said with a questioning taste: "Mr. Tom, if I remember correctly, AMD's situation was very bad. The cost is 300 million US dollars. You give away What should I do with the account of the dream entertainment company?"

Although AMD has become a subsidiary of Dream Entertainment, it is not a wholly-owned subsidiary. Mi Rui Technology only holds 90% of AMD's shares. Furthermore, even if Dream Entertainment and AMD coexist with the Mirren technology system, they are ultimately two separate independent companies with separate records for accounting and finance.

A supercomputer with a cost of about 300 million US dollars, AMD company to the Dream Entertainment Company, even if it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mi Rui Technology, it should also be through the financial check of both parties, go through the normal channels.

Tom Crushy heard Mu's inquiry and sighed with relief. "Ms. Mu, AMD made this decision and passed the decision of our seven controlling shareholders. Originally, this supercomputer belongs to our AMD company. When handing over to the debtor for debt, Dream Entertainment Company took the initiative to assume the debt of AMD. This supercomputing could not find the buyer for the time being. It just happened that the entertainment company needed a high-performance supercomputer. So we chose to give it to us. Dream Entertainment Company."

After listening to Mushuang, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Since this is the case, Dream Entertainment and AMD have made some handovers and then counted the supercomputer into the fixed assets of Dream Entertainment."

Tom Krussie also secretly sighed in his heart, "Well, no problem, Ms. Mu!"

Shi Lei scratched his head and said: "Mr. Tom, this supercomputer, have you finished all the components? Have you conducted the simulation test? Or did you actually test it? The design theory calculation value and the real calculation resource value are based on the past. Is the historical data calculated, or is it tested after the actual assembly is completed?"

If all the parts are produced, just find a place to place them and you can do them right away. Shi Lei couldn't help but feel excited. He designed a supercomputer with a theoretical calculation value of 320 tflops, which is almost one of the most advanced supercomputers.

After possessing this supercomputer, Shi Lei dared to guarantee that Raphael would provoke him to **** if he was provocative again! .
