1718 Supercomputer miniaturization

"It's true. Now the control over our R&D funding is much stricter than before. Dingdian Novels has the fastest update." Liu Yijiu nodded.

In the past, more projects were indeed needed to be consumed by the annual funding. After all, the Ninth Hospital had a lot of money, which was equivalent to a certain period when the government discovered that the finances had a lot of savings at the end of the year, and it needed to spend money suddenly. Therefore, it was too easy to approve projects.

Now there is no funding provided by civilian products units, even if they still have half of the funds to be invested in research, the management committee staff think that there is too much less.

Liu Yijiu had to agree with their proposal to launch less projects.

"Of course, if the research on memristors really makes a major breakthrough, it is certain to increase investment." Liu Yijiu comforted Yao Binggan. "Memristors are related to our research breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. This is the core key part of the artificial brain..."

Yao Binggan didn't say anything more.

Whether a major breakthrough has been made, the Management Committee believes that Liu Yijiu needs to evaluate

This project was arranged by Liu Yijiu before. Liu Yijiu knew about the transfer of personnel and many basic theoretical research.

The memristor research project is also laid out in a cave. These areas were expanded after Liu Yijiu took over the entire base. It is mainly used for electronic research. The core projects are memristors, graphene application in the electronics field, molybdenum-based chips and other research laboratories.

All are dust-free workshops.

In this mountain, it is much easier to build a dust-free workshop than outside.

The cave is more than 30 meters wide and extends straight forward. There is a channel several meters wide outside. It uses electrical energy lighting, and does not penetrate the mountain and introduce natural light. The thick rock layer can also block a lot of radiation.

Liu Yijiu and Yao Binggan put on anti-static work clothes more than ten meters after entering the entrance of the cave, and blew away all the dust on their bodies in the entrance area. Even the head was covered with a prescribed hood, and then they walked inside.

When you enter the laboratory area, you basically don’t feel that it is in the mountain. There is a thick layer of paint in front of the rocks on both sides. Just like the decoration of an ordinary house, the roof is also hung on the top, which looks no different from an ordinary building.

The only difference is the fluorescent lights on the ceiling, which do not stop lighting for twenty-four hours a day.

There is no window on the surrounding wall.

Most of the equipment in the laboratory comes from Germany. No one cares about how it is shipped back, but these equipment is not the most top in Germany. In China, it is definitely the most top in China.

There are not many researchers here. Many of the equipment in the laboratory are turned on, but no researchers are in front of them.

"Where is our solid-state product of memristor?" After Liu Yijiu came in, he asked about this.

He wouldn't come over if it wasn't for the memristor.

"There are 800,000-fold electron microscopes in front." Yao Binggan said to Liu Yijiu, "Most of our researchers should be there."

Liu Yijiu nodded and walked straight ahead.

In the laboratory in front, the width of more than 30 meters was fixed after the cave was dug out, but the length was isolated and decorated according to the needs of use. In the electronic observation room, there are not only high-power electron microscopes, but also many electronic optical instruments, and many things. In China, there are only this one in the mountain.

When I entered the electronic observation room, I saw several researchers wearing white sealed suits and dust-proof and anti-static caps gathered in front of the 800,000-fold electron microscope that was transported back through the Soviet Union by taking advantage of the merger of East and West Berlin a few years ago.

Liu Yijiu and Yao Binghan came up, and everyone greeted Liu Yijiu and invited Liu Yijiu to see their achievements.

"So big?" Liu Yijiu grinned, a little incredible.

Because the finished solid-state memristor product in front of me is actually as big as a thumb.

According to Liu Yijiu's idea, why can't it be so big, right?

I remember that in 2013, the memristor developed by Dr. Andy Thomas, a senior lecturer in the Department of Physics at Bielefeld University, was built into a chip 600 times thinner than human hair through complex engineering, which is a milestone development of memristors.

I saw something with the size of a fingernail and the thickness of a fingernail. I told Liu Yijiu that this is a memristor. Director Liu was no longer as simple as running over a hundred thousand Dragon Guard tanks or Destroyer tanks.

Seeing Liu Yijiu's strange face, Yao Binggan also knew that this was far from the memristor that Liu Yijiu thought of. He said a little embarrassedly, "At present, there is basically no possibility of nano-level component manufacturing. Theoretical research is now due to the limitations of electron microscopes and manufacturing technology. We cannot continue... we can only change directions, so we have this thing."

"Yes, Director Liu, it is basically impossible to realize nano-manufacturing technology now." A thin middle-aged man in his forties said to Liu Yijiu with a wry smile. "Not to mention nano-level manufacturing technology, we have not achieved micro-level manufacturing technology, and the whole world has not entered this field..."

Liu Yijiu nodded.

It is estimated that their research in this area cannot find a solution, so they have such an idea.

"We cannot understand the specific situation of the discovery of graphene. The manufacturing of this material has always been an important factor that plagues our development. If we have nano-manufacturing technology, all problems will be solved." Liu Yijiu did not deny their rhetoric, "But what applications can such solid-state memristors have in front of us?"

If any product has no application direction and is researched, it will be useless.

If this nail-sized thing can have an immeasurable effect and achieve widespread market application prospects, Liu Yijiu will not deny their research results.

"We have the ability of Boolean logic computing, and at the same time, we have memory functions and can remember without energy. We can use such features to develop lower-energy-consuming storage devices... At the same time, we can also incorporate this component into the processor's circuit..." Yao Binggan introduced to Liu Yijiu.

While introducing, he turned on a computer monitor next to him.

The first thing that appears above is the simple model of the memristor proposed by Liu Yijiu before. Subsequently, more complex circuits appear.

"This is some design schemes we have made based on the memristor we found after changing the resistance performance when passing through current. We can use such characteristics and special circuits to develop a technology that is completely different from the current computer processor..." Previous middle-aged researchers pointed to some models on computer monitors and described the future application prospects of this pseudo-memristor to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu didn't know much about memristors.

This is completely different from the field he is engaged in.

The only thing he knows is that memristors are key components of nanorobot processors.

"At present, our processors, whether molybdenum-based chips or graphene circuits, have very broad prospects. Adding this type of technology and a brand new technology will be very high, and it will be impossible to put it into use for a long time..." Liu Yijiu said with a frown.

According to current research theory, it is most likely to be used to make low-energy-consuming storage components.

At present, low-energy-consuming storage equipment has no competitiveness. Storage capacity is the core competitiveness of pure components.

This is the current market situation.

military?

If you don’t create a real memristor, the cost is too high to use for military use.

"No, if we use chips made of this kind of component to form a neural network, our artificial intelligence can have faster processing capabilities..." Yao Binggan shook his head and told Liu Yijiu that this kind of product is not what Liu Yijiu thought. "The single processing capability is very poor, but according to network technology, countless processing components work at the same time, and assign work tasks under the work of the core processor, the processing speed will be very fast..."

"Have you ever conducted this experiment?" Liu Yijiu's eyes lit up immediately.

If this is true, their artificial intelligence will be realized very quickly.

This is equivalent to a central processor, and then a number of processing components are arranged around it to perform advanced computing processing.

The entire data processing network is completely the processing mode of artificial intelligence.

Like humans, the central processing unit becomes an artificial brain, and the processing chip formed by these components becomes a certain element in the neural network. The brain distributes tasks according to the different positions and functions of these components. Then these components with memory function handle their different tasks.

The central processing unit sub-station processing unit workstation is a neural network working model proposed by Liu Yijiu at the beginning, and now it can make this easier to implement.

"We conducted theoretical verification and believed that this was very likely to be achieved, so we wanted to apply for a batch of experimental funds." Yao Binggan shook his head. They were currently rejected by the management committee, so they naturally did not have the ability to conduct such experiments.

Liu Yijiu cursed in his heart that these guys probably painted a theory that had broad prospects for him to realize his artificial intelligence ideas in order to convince the management committee.

"According to our theoretical research, if implemented, we can make a computer with a size and volume of current personal computers have higher performance than our best supercomputers..."
