Chapter 663 The Legendary Zhiqiang

As Su Yuanshan expected, when the software and Internet industries were listed as the development outline, it was suddenly revealed that Yuanxin was going to have an artificial intelligence showdown with IBM, not only did all media move, but even the leaders of the Ministry of Information Industry personally called to inquire.

The leaders of the Computer Technology Department and the leaders of the Provincial Capital Science and Technology Association will also visit the scene in person.

In the final analysis, it is because IBM's reputation is too high.

In this era when national confidence is extremely needed, Yuanxin can stand up and have a fair showdown with IBM in the field of "high-end when you hear it".

This is an exciting thing in itself.

For a time, major newspapers, especially computer-related newspapers, began to introduce in a long and long way what "machine learning" is and what "artificial intelligence" is.

At the same time, the glorious deeds of Blue Star and Deep Blue were also re-revised - one was to defeat the domestic chess champion, and the other was to defeat the world chess champion.

Although there seems to be a gap in strength between the opponents you defeated, Yuanxin's Blue Star appeared a year earlier than Deep Blue!

With the rapid development of technology, one year is enough to make the processor's capabilities turn over.

Therefore... even though countless people hope Yuanxin will win, they are still cautious in maintaining a wait-and-see attitude towards the results.

You know, that's IBM...

...

Yuanxin stopped other media and only allowed CCTV to enter the science and technology park in advance.

Obviously, although the Deep Blue team realized that this competition would definitely receive considerable attention, they did not expect that this kind of attention would be taken to such a degree. CCTV urgently established a documentary team and entered the venue the day after the reporter entered the venue. After soliciting IBM's consent, they began to conduct follow-up interviews with both teams.

Facing the camera of CCTV reporters, John Vick talked freely.

"We certainly have confidence that, as you can see, we are now conducting tests for data acquisition, and as far as we know, we are collecting a little faster than our opponents."

The reporter pointed the microphone at herself, and she quickly glanced forward and asked in skillful English: "I heard that the server for this showdown uses IBM's server. So, does this mean that you have an advantage in this server scenario?"

"No, of course not. Although the server is provided by IBM (Mainland), both are the latest servers, with the same configuration, and we have not contacted it in advance."

The reporter nodded: "Then please give me a brief introduction to the Pandora team."

"Oh, Mr. Xi is an admirable opponent." John Wick laughed: "I also heard that he could be my colleague at the time just a little short of that - I also joined IBM in 1991."

"As for Blue Star, we do not deny that Blue Star has unique advantages in machine learning, but the final showdown was born in logical analysis, and this is what we are best at."

John Vick shrugged: "We will definitely win."

...

Su Yuanshan’s office.

Xi Xiaoding twisted the thermos cup, stood in front of Su Yuanshan's filing cabinet, flipped his tea leaves over and over, and finally put two cans of the most expensive ones on the coffee table without hesitation.

"Take it, take it whatever you want." Su Yuanshan supported his chin with both hands and raised his head at him with a smile.

Mr. Xi obviously complained that he had made the noise a little too big - in fact, it was nothing to be bigger, Mr. Xi himself didn't care, as long as he didn't report it in a derogatory way.

But CCTV actually came over to do a complete set of follow-up interviews, and it also wanted to make a documentary...

This is a bit over.

This tastes like roasting the far core Pandora on the fire.

"I know I'm having a big time?"

"Senior brother... The Ministry of Xinsheng has issued an order. What can I do?" Su Yuanshan spread his hands: "The arm can't twist the thigh."

"... Actually, it doesn't matter if you report it, but it's a bit annoying to hit the camera all day long - what if you lose?"

Xi Xiaoding said that and glared at Su Yuanshan.

"If so, just be sure." Su Yuanshan said happily: "Senior brother... think about it again. This time the American side can allow the Deep Blue team to bring their code to China - does this mean it is a victory in itself."

Xi Xiaoding was stunned when he heard this, and nodded slowly after savoring the sentence.

The feat of Deep Blue's victory over Kasparov was written by their domestic media. So, the lighthouse country, which has been extremely conservative in the blockade of core technologies, obviously believes that IBM's algorithms and codes should be state secrets.

In the past, this thing would have been afraid of maggots.

But this time, I was able to bring it out generously... it was obvious that they realized that in Yuanxin, there is also excellent chess AI.

Of course, IBM is not without scheming, as it can be seen from the platform that provides algorithms.

"So, we don't lose money."

...

On June 1, Pandora's Labs' large conference room.

Two large quad-core server hosts were placed on the ground, buzzing.

Its panel is covered with four Pentium    II   Xeon logos - this means that it uses an upgraded version based on Pentium     pro, Pentium    II    Xeon, which is the legendary first generation Zhiqiang.

And it uses a physical quad core.

The reason why Yuanxin agreed to IBM to use the server for competition... Of course, the hard disk of this server is the solid-state drive for Yuanxin's server-specific solid-state drive.

To be honest, these two servers are currently at sky-high prices.

At this time, the Deep Blue team and the Pandora team had deleted the data they had used to test and correct, and checked each other.

On the large desk, there was a game of chess that had not yet started.

Under the camera, the teams of both sides sat opposite each other's desks.

...

Naturally, Su Yuanshan did not go to the laboratory to join in the fun, but watched the live broadcast of the Science and Education Channel with relish.

In addition to the program host, there is also a professor from the Department of Computer Science from Peking University who commented as a guest.

Su Yuanshan looked happily at the host of the program who had not yet realized the "severity of the problem" - because considering the computing power problem, both parties used the "simplified" algorithm and did not get the same thing as the supercomputer.

Otherwise, with these two first-generation Achievements, they would probably have to learn until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

But even this competition is a super marathon with an outrageous event.

Obviously, as a guest, Xia Yanbing, a computer professor at Peking University, knew the depth and reminded the host from time to time that the game was still very early.

Even after finishing learning, I have just started.

As the camera shifted, the teams of both sides took their own positions and began to load the chess game.
Chapter completed!
