Chapter 1,396 A new generation of photonic computer technology
After visiting the server cluster, everyone eagerly took the elevator to the "Tao" super photon computer area on the top floor.
Coming out of the elevator door, looking at these white light pillars, everyone felt as if they were in a science fiction world. There was a light blue halo swimming above these completely white light pillars, which was very dreamy.
Is this a photon computer? Li Yahong sighed.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "To be precise, this is a super photon computer. There are a total of 108 columns here. Each column contains a total of 400 photon computing modules, which adds up to 43,000.
Twelve hundred photon computing modules. Each photon computing module can be regarded as an independent photon computer."
Cluster matrix structure, this is indeed your area of expertise. Xiao Ma nodded and said.
"What's its current computing power?" Lao Ma looked at these columns and then asked: "It ranks among the top among all supercomputers in the world.
But soon, our new generation of photon computer technology has been developed and is currently being tested. Soon the new photon computing module will replace these existing modules. By then, its performance will far exceed that of all current supercomputers.
.”
Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but become interested. Everyone had been curious about this commercial super photon computer for a long time.
How about compared to quantum computers? Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but ask. In fact, many people will ask this question, because everyone always compares supercomputers and quantum computers. And Wu Hao's new super photon computer also
It is often compared to quantum computers.
So when he heard this question, he was not surprised, and then shook his head with a smile: "And they can't be compared. Their calculation methods are different. The calculation method of this photon computer is actually similar to the calculation method of a classical computer. Although it can be compared with the traditional computer
The computing speed of classical computers has improved, but it is still far behind quantum computers.
Of course, everyone knows that quantum computers also use photons to perform calculations. Therefore, our ultimate goal is to develop an advanced practical quantum computer that can be put into commercial use.
At present, we have also made very good progress in the field of quantum computer technology, and I believe that at some time in the future, we will definitely be able to appear with everyone as a 'king'."
Oh, then we are very much looking forward to it. After hearing his introduction, everyone nodded.
Mr. Wu, can you let us take a closer look at this photonic computer module? Li Yahong asked Wu Hao.
Upon hearing this request, everyone also looked at Wu Hao's face. This was exactly what many people present felt.
How could Wu Hao not know about the little Jiujiu in Li Yahong's heart? They have also been working on photon quantum computer technology, so he obviously wants to steal their skills.
The people present are all giants of Internet companies and technology companies. Naturally, they are full of strong interest in this industry-leading cutting-edge technology product. Now that there is such an opportunity, how could everyone not be eager for it.
But how can such cutting-edge technology be stolen at a glance? Wu Hao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. But on the surface, he smiled and nodded in front of everyone's gaze: "Of course, everyone, please come here!"
With that said, Wu Hao brought everyone to a luminous column. Only then did everyone see that there were some small gaps on the luminous column. These gap lines divided the column into square modules.
Smiling at everyone, Wu Hao stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the surface of a square module.
The square module that Wu Hao clicked on immediately turned light red, and the module then slowly slid open, like a drawer.
Everyone present moved closer to take a closer look, but to everyone's disappointment, they did not see anything special in this cube module. Apart from some conventional integrated circuits and circuits, the most eye-catching thing was naturally
It’s the optical computing module.
This optical computing module is white and translucent as a whole, with green light flashing inside, making it look very colorful.
Looking at the eyes of everyone scrambling to observe, Wu Hao smiled and introduced: "Please see, everyone, this translucent device with green light is our optical computing module and the core of the entire photonic computer.
Because this is a prototype, it does not use a miniature integrated optical circuit, so it will be relatively large. As for our new generation of photonic computer technology, it will use photonic chips. Compared with this optical computing module, the photonic chip
It is smaller in size, more integrated, has faster computing speed, and is more energy-saving.
Moreover, it can also greatly save space, allowing us to accommodate more photon computing modules composed of such photonic chips in the same space. In this way, the performance of the entire 'Dao' super photon computer will be
It will be greatly improved, and the computing speed will also increase geometrically."
Photonic chip?
Everyone present couldn't help showing expressions of surprise, and Lao Ma even asked: "So has this photonic chip been manufactured now?"
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, we have developed photonic chip products that can be put into practical use.
At present, in addition to continuing to test, optimize and improve this photonic chip, we have also handed it over to relevant institutes for comprehensive performance testing.
Judging from the feedback we have received so far, all parties have given high praise to the performance of this photonic chip."
Mr. Wu, you hid it well enough. If we hadn't been here today, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known about this news. Xue Bing was a little surprised and even sighed.
Tao Zhengyang on the other side asked eagerly: "Mr. Wu, will this photonic chip be put into the market?"
After hearing this question, everyone glanced at Tao Zhengyang, and then turned to look at Wu Hao. In fact, everyone understood the question raised by Tao Zhengyang. After all, no one present could understand the "lack of core" better than Tao Zhengyang.
The troubles and hardships caused.
Tao Zhengyang and others have also made great efforts in recent years, but in the field of high-end chips, they are still subject to foreign blockade and suppression.
This new era-changing photonic chip naturally made Tao Zhengyang, Xue Bing, Xiao Ma and others shine, and they immediately showed great interest.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "Sorry, we have no plans to put it on the market yet."
