This technology can be regarded as opening up a new field for the processing and manufacturing of complex optical lens groups. That is, this technology can be used to directly engrave or print various complex lenses and other optical lenses in a special optical glass material. This kind of technology
Processing and manufacturing technology not only reduces the processing difficulty and cost of these lens groups, but also reduces the size of these lens groups and improves related performance.
This composite lens processing technology can not only be used for the processing and manufacturing of core lens groups related to photolithography machines, but can also be used to manufacture photonic chips.
However, it is currently relatively difficult to manufacture photonic chips, so Wu Hao and others first applied this technology to the core of the photon computer, the photon computing module.
Photonic chips and photonic computers are actually the same to a certain extent in terms of structure and purpose. They are used to process data information. Only photonic chips are more integrated and sophisticated, which is equivalent to integrating a photon computer into a small
Within the chip. This also allows a small photonic chip to achieve the computing performance of a photonic computer.
Wu Hao's super photon computer is actually similar in structure to a supercomputer. It is composed of several photon computing modules. Each computing module can be regarded as an independent photon computer.
Each photon computing module is roughly composed of a 20CM*30cm*15cm cuboid module. The entire photon computing module is divided into two parts, which are composed of the front optical computing module and the integrated circuit module. The entire optical computing module is made of white translucent material.
Therefore, when the photon computing module starts running, the module will light up.
Each photon computing module can be regarded as a photon computer, and then numerous photon computing modules form a 'computing blade' group, or to be precise, a photon computing cube. Countless photon computing cubes are connected using optical fibers.
Eventually, a complex array of photonic computer clusters was formed, which is their super photon computer.
Everyone is looking forward to this super photon computer. Basically everyone knows that this will be a great initiative.
So after briefly listening to some relevant introductions, everyone couldn't wait to take the elevator to the fifteenth floor.
After stepping out of the elevator, in front of everyone is a relatively wide, loop-shaped corridor surrounding the elevator.
It is about two or three meters wide, and then there is a passage vertically extending into the four corners of the corridor. These four extending passages divide the remaining space into four rectangular areas. Each rectangular area is divided into a further
Small modules. Each module is more like a cube pillar. Each of these pillars emits light, which is very sci-fi.
Everyone was also attracted by these luminous pillars, and everyone couldn't help but curiously inquired about them.
Yang Fan, who had always had a low sense of presence, finally stood up, coughed twice, and introduced to everyone: "This is the super photon computer we developed. What you see in front of you are these pillars that are all luminous.
This is the main body of our super photon computer. There are a total of 108 columns here, and each column contains a total of 400 photon computing modules, which adds up to 43,200 photon computing modules.
Forty-three thousand two hundred photon computing modules can provide this super photon computer with a peak computing speed of 607588TFlop/s, which is 60.7588 trillion times per second. Although it is not as good as the current number one US 110
Exascale supercomputer (2024), but it is already at the forefront of the supercomputer field.
More importantly, we have solved the problem of supercomputers that consume a lot of energy and generate heat. Our super photonic computer consumes only one-tenth of the power consumed by other equivalent supercomputers when running at full load.
Its overall volume is also much smaller than that of other supercomputers. If we can solve the manufacturing problem of photonic chips, then its energy consumption and volume will be further reduced, while the computing speed will increase significantly, exceeding
The fastest supercomputers currently have no problems at all.
Therefore, at the beginning of the design of our super photonic computer, subsequent upgrades and optimization were taken into consideration, so a modular design was adopted. This can not only facilitate future maintenance and repair, but also replace the new generation of photon computing modules, thus making this super
The computing speed of photonic computers has reached a new level."
Bang bang bang bang... everyone couldn't help but applaud. Everyone was sincerely happy and happy that Yang Fan, his supercomputing R&D project team and the company could develop such a cutting-edge technology product that is leading the world, the super photon computer.
pride.
Along with the applause, Yang Fan said to Wu Hao: "Boss, this super photon computer doesn't have a name yet. Please give it a name."
"That's right, Mr. Wu, please give me a name." Others present responded.
Even Zhang Jun smiled at Wu Hao and tried to persuade him: "Since everyone is expecting this, please give it a name. It should be louder and grander. The best is one that can also represent our country's culture.
.”
When Wu Hao heard this, he glanced at Zhang Jun helplessly. With so many people holding him up, he couldn't refuse, so he looked at these shining pillars and thought about it.
It should be louder, more atmospheric, and should be able to represent the cultural characteristics of our country.
To be honest, Wu Hao didn't have a clue for a while, but with so many people looking forward to it, he couldn't let everyone down. After racking his brains, a word finally appeared in front of him.
So he smiled at everyone and said: "Since this is our first super photon computer and the world's first super photon computer, I think it will be called 'Tao'."
"Tao?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"Yes, that's right, it's 'Tao'!" Wu Hao nodded and said with a smile.
Seeing Wu Hao's confirmation, everyone couldn't help but whisper. Zhang Jun couldn't help asking him: "Haozi, is there any profound meaning in choosing this name?"
Seeing Zhang Jun ask this question, everyone looked at him to listen to his explanation. Wu Hao looked at everyone and explained with a smile: "Tao, this word is very representative in the traditional culture of our country.
From a certain perspective, it is a classic representative of our traditional culture.
As for our super photon computer, it is completely independently developed by us. So we should give it a name with our own characteristics, so I thought of the word 'Tao'. I think this name will be very popular even in the international arena.
, and should also better represent the cultural characteristics of our entire country and nation.
