After giving a relatively simple introduction to the entire building, Wu Hao then took everyone to the control area on the left, and then introduced to everyone: "Dear leaders and experts, this is our entire 'Tao' super photon computer.
Management control center.
And what’s on the monitoring screen here is our Tao’ super photon computer.”
After hearing Wu Hao's introduction, everyone couldn't help but look at it carefully. Many experts even took out their glasses and put them on, and looked at it very carefully.
Wu Hao did not rush to urge, but let everyone check, and he answered the questions raised by everyone from time to time.
After the introduction, these people finally couldn't help it anymore. Yuan Yonghong said eagerly to Wu Hao: "Xiao Wu, can we go down and take a closer look?"
"Of course there is no problem, please come here." Wu Hao nodded and smiled.
Then everyone took the elevator to the fifteenth floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, everyone couldn't help but be attracted by the scene in front of them.
"This is the super photonic computer we developed. The luminous columns you see in front of you are the main body of our super photonic 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 supercomputer with 11 billion exascales (in 2024), 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 size is also much smaller than that of other supercomputers.
At the beginning of the design of our super photonic computer, subsequent upgrade and optimization were taken into consideration, so a modular design was adopted.
This will not only facilitate future maintenance and repairs, but also facilitate the upgrade and replacement of related parts.
In the future, we will replace it with a more powerful photonic chip, so its energy consumption and size will be further reduced, while its computing speed will increase significantly, surpassing the current fastest supercomputer without any problems."
"It's about the same size as our supercomputer." Chen Guangtian nodded and said.
"Although it is almost the same, the computing efficiency has increased by more than ten times, which is a huge improvement. And this is without using photonic chips."
Having said this, Yuan Yonghong looked at these luminous columns and said to Wu Hao: "To be precise, your super photon computer has not been successfully developed. It can only be regarded as a prototype and verification engineering machine."
"You are right, it cannot be considered a real research and development success." Wu Hao nodded and replied: "It's just because there has been no progress in the development of photonic chips, and we are now very eager to have a supercomputer, so
Develop it first for emergency use.
When the photonic chip is successfully developed, we can quickly replace it and upgrade the core computing components to further release its computing power.
Everyone, please come this way!”
With that said, Wu Hao led everyone to a pillar. Then he lightly tapped the pillar with his fingers, and saw a drawer or a luminous crystal module pop out of the pillar.
"This is my photon computing module, and each of these luminous columns is composed of these modules.
Each photon computing module can be regarded as an independent photon computer or a processor of a supercomputer.
Each photon computing module consists of two parts. One is the core of the entire photon computing module, the photon operator. The other part is the electronic components that serve the entire photon operator.
This photon operator can also be regarded as a photonic chip, but it is not integrated. Although its size is much larger than that of ordinary chip processors, its performance is also very outstanding.
The structure of the entire photon operator is very complex, consisting of an integrated optical circuit composed of a laser with a stable light source, complex lenses, prisms, reflectors and other optical lens groups.
If we use traditional structures and traditional processes, it would be impossible to achieve. And we also used composite lens processing technology to manufacture and process it."
With that said, Wu Hao took the entire module directly off the pillar, and the module finally turned dark.
"The disassembly and replacement of each module is very simple. We can replace and repair these modules at any time. This process can be completed by our engineers and technicians, or it can be completed automatically by our intelligent robots."
Having said this, Wu Hao raised his voice and said: "Coco, there is a fault in the computing module of the 61st column. We will send an intelligent robot over immediately to check and repair it."
"Okay, sir!" A very intellectual voice came through the impression.
"Is this artificial intelligence?" Li Weiguo's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked him immediately.
Wu Hao nodded and replied: "Yes, the entire building, including the entire park, is in charge of the artificial intelligence system. I can call it in any area of the park and give it instructions."
"I heard that the name of your smart voice assistant is also called 'Coco'. What is the connection between the two?" Chen Guangtian asked him.
"Yes, in fact, it is all about it." Wu Hao explained with a smile: "My smart voice assistant is also the prototype, or matrix, of all our smart voice assistant systems on the market. All experiments and updates are only on it.
After verification, it will be released and synchronized to other smart voice assistant systems for updates.
Because the company's employees were familiar with it before, after the construction here was completed, I moved it here to continue to serve everyone.
In fact, it is just an intelligent voice program, and the real decision-maker is the intelligent brain behind it."
Wu Hao answered half-truthfully, naturally it was impossible for him to tell everyone that his intelligent voice assistant ‘Coco’ itself is an artificial intelligence brain.
Just as they were talking, they saw a robot with its police lights flashing approaching the No. 61 pillar in front of them.
At the same time, the modules on the entire sixty-one pillars also began to flash and self-check. Finally, a red light flashed in the area where Wu Hao removed the module.
The intelligent robot came directly in front of the pillar, then stretched out its mechanical arm and began to detect it.
