"Ming" successfully broke through the three trillion running speed mark, which made everyone present happy, and Yang Xing's status in China was naturally more profound. At the celebration meeting, Wen Rengui and senior military officials frequently toasted him and Chen Siqin, saying that they had made great contributions to the country and the people. For this verbal praise, Yang Xing, who had long had an immunity test, was of course a spiritual reward for accepting, but he still had to reach out for the actual benefits.

Because it was a secret experiment, he had no scruples and directly expressed his intention to apply "clear" technology to his enterprise production. However, this involved the technology developed by the military for this purpose, so the military needed approval.

The senior military leaders felt embarrassed after hearing this. After all, this involves the military. The military has always had a great conservative force. There is still controversy over whether to follow the digital trend of the foreign *** team. The military's attitude towards its own technology has always been a treasure. If it is said that it is a leak of cutting-edge supercomputer technology, no one dares to bear the responsibility. Yang Xing had expected their opposition. He waved his hand and asked several scientists in charge of computer research at Xingdou Research Institute to show everyone several new technologies under development.

Although the performance of Tai Chi CPU is still worse than that of similar products from Intel or even Amd, Xingdou Research Institute has come up with some novel ideas to make up for it. For example, using multi-core CPU and CPU and GPU heterogeneous fusion technology has aroused unanimous surprise from the experts present. When they explained that this is still the idea of ​​the boss Yang Xing, even the experts in the military who are extremely resistant to Yang Xing's idea of ​​civilizing the "Ming" technology have completely different views on Yang Xing.

Yang Xing, who was looked at by everyone with admiration, felt a little embarrassed even though his face was as thick as a city wall. These technologies were verified and fully promoted in his previous life, but from the mouth of him who was obviously not an expert, he was somewhat shocking. Just looking at Chen Siqin and the computer experts of Zhongke on this, you will know that his ideas were not aimless. No wonder he was confident of civilizing the "Ming" technology, because he had more killer weapons to hold it!

At this time, Intel and Amd were still obsessed with constantly pursuing the launch of single-core chips with faster clock frequency. Even the concept of multi-core CPU has not been proposed. However, according to Moore's Law, the CPU speed doubles every eighteen months. Many industry insiders think that if this continues, they will encounter bottlenecks sooner or later. Once the CPU speed reaches the barriers of power consumption and heat dissipation, the cost of working hard on the manufacturing process will be too high.

By integrating more than two computing cores in a processor, thereby improving computing power, reducing power consumption and heat dissipation, and working hard on the architecture to achieve the effect of 1+1>2 is undoubtedly the simplest and clear solution. And this has long been an example. The supercomputer in front of them uses the CPUs of thousands of servers to run together and together, and the multi-core CPU is just a smaller version.

The heterogeneous fusion technology of CPU and GPU is even more advanced. Yang Xing used the sentence "After separation, one will be together, one will be separated" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to explain his idea. At the beginning of the birth of the computer, CPU had to undertake all the work, including the simplest image processing work. It can be said that the current graphics and sound cards are built into CPU.

Graphics cards initially appeared just a very simple output port, and converting computing data into black and white and color images on the monitor is its job. However, with the development of personal computers, people are not satisfied with general office programs, and computer games are beginning to rise. In this case, the general computing performance of CPU is increasingly unable to meet the needs of game enthusiasts, and graphics cards focusing on graphics processing are beginning to flourish.

The more complex computer games are, the higher the requirements for images. When the game screen changes from 2d to 3d, the requirements for graphics rendering increase geometrically. Old graphics card companies are not dealing with it. The "soft acceleration" mode that previously relies on main CPUs for image processing obviously cannot meet the needs and they all fail.

In 1999, a graphics card company emerged in this war and even launched a serious challenge to the industry overlord 3dfx at that time. It was nvidia (Nvidia) company that was only established for a few years. It officially announced that the company has developed an image processing chip that can concentrate three-dimensional image and special effects processing functions in a display chip, realize some CPU functions, and "hard acceleration" of 3d images - "gpu".

This is a far-reaching technological innovation in the history of computers. Nvidia has caught 3DFX in one fell swoop with GPU technology, and the industry has quickly accepted the concept of GPU. GPU graphics card is essentially a small computer. It has a central processor GPU, as well as key components such as memory (graphics memory), motherboard (graphics card), but it only focuses on image processing and is ahead of CPU in image processing, while its price and power consumption are far less than CPU, so it is of course very popular.

GPU itself is designed for fixed functions, mainly developed for graphics processing, but with the development of technology, it can undertake CPU work in many aspects. As a CPU manufacturer, in order to seize the market occupied by graphics cards, it also strengthens its own programming ability and undertakes more GPU work. When GPU programming ability becomes higher and higher and higher, according to Yang Xing, the advantages of the two are combined to continuously improve the computing speed of supercomputers, and the efficiency can naturally be greatly improved through a specific heterogeneous fusion technology.

Computer experts such as Chen Siqin and others obviously see further from Yang Xing's proposal. These technologies are not only for the supercomputers in front of you, but also very likely to expand to personal computers in the future, but also on servers. Fortunately, many scholars in Xingdou Research Institute know that Yang Xing wakes up Aifeier in one word and develops a new graphene process. They only regard Yang Xing as a model for those who are bystanders to be clear. They have not studied it in depth, but also gained a lot of praise from geniuses.

Since these new technologies are provided as the foundation, everyone's resistance to Yang Xing's proposal to make "Ming" civilian use was not so strong. The military and Wen Rengui agreed to discuss a safe way to solve the problem after going back.

When the song ended and the people were dispersed, Chen Siqin, who was also the director of the Computer Center of Xingdou Research Institute and the chief technology officer of Xingyun Electronics, deliberately kept Yang Xing and wanted to discuss a big event with him. He proposed that Yang Xing's suggestion just now gave him an inspiration. Since the integration of CPU and GPU in the future is the general trend, why is the company now developing its own GPU technology?

According to him, now is a good time. As mentioned earlier, the graphics card market is now clamoring to be monopolized by the two kings 3dfx and Nvidia, and the war between them has reached a white-hot point. Now it seems that 3dfx will become a loser and end up miserably. Why not take advantage of his weakest time to acquire him first?

And now it is moving fast. It is said that Nvidia is negotiating with this old opponent and wants to acquire it. If Nebula Electronics takes action too late, it will be too late to regret it. After obtaining 3dfx, it can obtain GPU technology in one step, laying a solid foundation for the heterogeneous fusion of CPU and GPU in the future.

Yang Xing slapped his head when he heard this. He actually forgot about this. Although he was a reborn person, he was not omniscient and omnipotent. He only remembered that GPU was proposed by Nvidia, but he didn't expect that it was only after acquiring competitors. Fortunately, Chen Siqin reminded him that he remembered this thrilling battle in the history of graphics card development.

He likes to intercept the most now. His superstar computers have established a relatively complete industrial chain. The most important computer components such as CPUs, memory sticks, motherboards, monitors, etc. can be produced by themselves. Now he has a great opportunity to win an industry-leading graphics card company, so he will certainly not let it go.

Of course, he also asked Chen Siqin why not just acquire it because Nvidia is now in a big way. Chen Siqin analyzed that Nvidia's boss Huang Renxun is ambitious and is definitely not a thing of the pool. Moreover, Nvidia has different relationships with Intel and Microsoft. Now the company's netbooks are selling well, which has affected the cheese of IT bosses such as Intel, ibm, and HP. It is too high-profile to acquire Nvidia again, which is likely to attract unanimous suppression. In contrast, 3dfx is in a desperate situation and is not optimistic about the industry. It is a good time to take the lead in a acquisition, and the price is cheap and not very eye-catching.

After hearing this, Yang Xing looked at Chen Siqin with admiration. Sure enough, he has been a chief designer of Clay Company for 20 years. In addition to his professionalism, he has also studied the way of business. Fortunately, Clay Company was later acquired by Silicon Diagram Company and drove him out, a meritorious minister. He really gave Zhongxing a gift!

Yang Xing couldn't help but maliciously think that this silicon map company is really a living Lei Feng. Li Kaifu and Chen Siqin, directors of Xingdou Research Institute, both left there. The abandoned ministers have this level, so the technical background of this company can be seen. However, in his previous life, it seemed that silicon map was not famous and had fallen to the level of a second-rate IT company. Yang Xing was considering whether he should continue to carry forward the spirit of helping the poor and helping the poor, and take his life while he was sick and take it to his capital and take it into his pocket?

However, this time he didn't want to go into the battle himself. After years of training and fighting, he already had a large number of excellent management talents. He always advocated letting go and boldly letting his subordinates play their roles, rather than doing everything personally. Since Chen Siqin was sure, he asked Chen Siqin to launch an offensive against 3dfx and Silicon Diagram Company, and asked Wu Haijun, Li Kaifu and others to provide assistance, believing that they could live up to his expectations.

The hot sales of netbooks and the successful operation of the "Ming" supercomputer also mean that Yang Xing's efforts in the previous stage finally made good returns. With the successful listing of "all directions are destroyed" and the perfect acquisition of a series of acquisitions, Zhongxing International's overall business framework has stabilized. Yang Xing believes that there will not be too many opportunities like Xiangshanyi Securities and Dayu Group in the future. He decided to turn his attention back to the group, take the opportunity to calm down and take a break before handling official business.
