Chapter 438 Super Computer

Supercomputer?

Everyone in the audience was shocked and looked at Cohen in disbelief. Did he think that the supercomputer was a desktop computer, and that anyone who wanted to buy it could buy it? Even if others did not sell it, even if they sold it, even if the "Second World" had money, a

The quarterly net profit has exceeded 100 million US dollars, but it is beyond our ability to buy a supercomputer. We have more than enough ambition but not enough power.

A supercomputer usually refers to a computer that is composed of hundreds, thousands or even more processors (computers) and can calculate large and complex tasks that ordinary PCs and servers cannot complete. If the computing speed of an ordinary computer is compared to that of a human walking

speed, then the supercomputer will reach the speed of a rocket. Under the premise of such computing speed, it is possible to predict and explain natural phenomena that were previously impossible to experiment through numerical simulation.

Among the top ten supercomputers in the world today, the first one is "Roadrunner", located at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. It is also an IBM system computer with a speed of up to 1042 trillion operations per second.

.It is also the first supercomputer in the world to break the speed of one quadrillion operations per second. More importantly, it also uses a series of technologies specifically targeted at games and business, which are usually mainly used to conduct complex operations on U.S. nuclear weapons.

And secret assessment.

China's "Dawn 3000" supercomputer is not included in the ranking. Its peak system performance is 403.2 billion operations per second. "Dawn 3000" was developed under the direct leadership of the National Science and Technology Commission and the 863 Intelligent Computer Expert Group at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Developed by the National Intelligent Computer Research and Development Center after more than a year of efforts with the strong support of the Institute of Computing Technology and other units, "Shuguang 3000" is widely used in many fields such as aerospace, exploration, meteorology, finance, etc., providing supercomputing at home and abroad.

Serve.

The worst of the world's top 100 supercomputers costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and the "second world" is now simply not qualified to buy such a supercomputer.

"Boss, if we want to run "War of the Worlds" with global interconnection, or "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" with Asia interconnection, our company must purchase a supercomputer. And the core of my 'cloud computing' can also be stored on the supercomputer.

Computers will also be able to play a greater role," Cohen warned.

Cohen is also helpless. Now the research on "cloud computing" has reached a bottleneck. If he wants to break through the existing bottleneck, he must rely on more powerful computing power to help him simulate the calculation of "cloud computing", but today's computers simply cannot meet Cohen's requirements.

After thinking about it, Cohen thought of supercomputers. What's more, the games under "Second World" will use "cloud computing" to achieve transnational interconnection, allowing players from different countries around the world to play on the same game server. So super

Computers are even more essential.

"Cohen, let alone no one selling it now, even if there is someone selling it, we may not be able to afford it now." For a crazy scientific researcher like Cohen, Lin Feng could only tell the truth one by one.

Cohen frowned after hearing this, but without a supercomputer, his "cloud computing" would not be able to achieve a breakthrough, and even if it did, Lin Feng's online games would not be applicable.

Cohen pinched the bridge of his nose. For the first time, he felt the "powerlessness" of Linfeng Company. This is also the helplessness of a small company, whose foundation is too shallow. If it is a super large company like "IBM", it is just a supercomputer, and it can be used at any time.

All available to Cohen.

Lin Feng sighed slightly.

"Hey, cousin, why are you so depressed? If it's a super computer, I can find a solution." An authentic American English voice sounded loudly, and everyone was shocked. An American man wearing a hat and covering himself tightly was in high spirits.

He walked in. After he came in, he took off his hat and smiled at everyone.

"Cousin!" Cohen saw the person clearly and stood up excitedly. He walked over and gave him a warm hug.

Kevin Mitnick! The world's number one hacker! - Lin Feng has already guessed who the visitor is, but Kevin Mitnick appears in the company so openly. Once word spreads, it will inevitably attract the "attention" of the US government.

Then all the hard work in the United States to bring Kevin Mitnick to China would be completely in vain, and I am afraid that he will face accusations from the U.S. government, and Lin Feng has no words to answer this accusation.

Lin Feng looked at everyone in the conference room, his eyes flickering, hesitating about what to do. At this moment, Wang Meng walked in and gently patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

"Everyone!" Wang yanked down all the curtains and whispered.

When everyone saw Wang Meng's serious face, their hearts tightened instinctively, not knowing what was going on.

"Everyone, this is Kevin Mitnick, the world's number one hacker." Wang Meng pointed at Kevin Mitnick who was chatting with Cohen.

Everyone was shocked, especially Gates and Minwu-Lee, who were also very familiar with Kevin Mitnick. They had just learned from their American friends that the world's number one hacker Kevin Mitnick had disappeared, and they were still sighing.

Kevin Mitnick has great magical powers. Unexpectedly, Kevin Mitnick would appear in the company in the blink of an eye. They briefly thought about the mystery and understood it. However, the people valued by the U.S. government were betrayed by Lin.

The wind has spread to China and the "Second World". Once this is known to the US government, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Thinking of this, Gates and Minwu-Li smiled bitterly. Because they had already seen Kevin Mitnick appear in the "Second World", obviously in order to keep it secret, Lin Feng would not let them tell this secret.

.If you want a person to keep a secret forever, there is only one way - a dead person. Only a dead person will keep a secret forever.

However, both of them are crucial to Lin Feng and the "Second World". Lin Feng obviously will not kill people and silence them. Otherwise, Kevin Mitnick would not be allowed to appear in the company so openly. Obviously, Lin Feng only has

One purpose is to tie them to the "chariot" of the "second world" forever so that they will not tell this secret.

Gates and Minwu-Li's guess was correct, but it was not what Lin Feng meant, but what Wang Meng meant. Kevin Mitnick's identity is sensitive, and if he stays in China for a long time, he will sooner or later be noticed by Gates and other important core personnel of the company.

Rather than taking risks then, it is better to tie them to the "chariot" of the "Second World" now. What's more, the "Second World" does not want Gates, Minwu-Lee and others to switch to others in the future, so this time

The machine binds everyone to the "chariot" of the "second world" for life.

"I think you are all smart people, so I won't say much. In order to protect your safety, there is a tracker here that can track you no matter where you are. Don't worry, this will never restrict you in any way.

I live a free life and I won’t pry into your privacy. It’s just for safety reasons.” Wang Meng spread his hands and revealed the small tracker in his palm.

Everyone frowned for a while. Although they had guessed this ending, they felt a little unhappy in their hearts. In any case, everyone's freedom was still restricted. At least, psychologically speaking, it was!

Cohen and Kevin Mitnick smiled. When everyone was hesitating, they were the first to take a tracker and put it on their armpits. It simulated the skin and was micro-processed. It was impossible to tell unless you looked closely.

"That's right, I don't feel anything." Cohen moved and said. He had already expected this result. He was mentally prepared for this after asking Lin Feng to bring Kevin Mitnick from the United States.

"Haha, everyone, I promise you personally that I am definitely not prying into any of your privacy. You can go anywhere. However, the company will send two more bodyguards to protect you." Lin Feng saw that everyone was still slightly hesitant, but he was helpless.

He shrugged and pointed at Li Rui and others waiting outside the door and said, "Look, I don't always have four bodyguards around me."

When everyone saw it, they smiled. Thinking like this, everyone felt much better. Besides, Wang Meng always gave them the impression of being extremely rigorous, indifferent, and never talked much, but what he said was always true to his word. He promised not to pry.

People's privacy, they must not think about it. In this case, everyone had nothing to hesitate. They took a tracker from Wang Meng and stuck it on their armpits. After attaching it, they moved around, and it turned out that they were like Cohen and Kevin.

Mitnick said, almost no feeling at all.

"Boss, you continue the meeting, I'm going out first." Wang Meng nodded to Lin Feng, turned and left.

"Then let me solemnly introduce you now. This is Kevin Mitnick, who will be the director of the company's newly established cybersecurity department." Lin Feng pointed at Kevin Mitnick and introduced him again.

"Everyone, please take good care of me in the future." Kevin Mitnick smiled easily. Being able to escape from the FBI surveillance in the United States, Kevin Mitnick felt relieved. Although he was in China, he still had

There are monitors, but this is not the same as the surveillance by the FBI in the United States. What's more, Lin Feng promised to build a "hacker base" for him and concentrate on studying hacker technology. He was very satisfied.

"Kevin, you just said that you have a solution for the supercomputer. What solution do you have?" Lin Feng returned to the topic and asked.

"Boss, have you ever heard of Bruce Allen?" Kevin Mitnick said seriously.

Lin Feng shook his head blankly, and the others also shook their heads after thinking about it.

"Haha, no wonder you haven't heard of it. You are all engaged in software design, but Bruce Allen specializes in hardware and software." Kevin Mitnick explained with a smile.

"Boss, Bruce and I are both crazy computer enthusiasts, but he is a crazy computer hardware enthusiast, and I am a crazy network technology and radio enthusiast." Kevin Mitnick smiled and told everyone

Explain, "As early as 1998, Bruce built three self-made supercomputers to calculate gravitational waves that had never been observed. His first supercomputer used a Linux cluster and used 48 alpha servers, each

Using a 300mhz, 64-bit AXP processor. The server cluster is placed in a space slightly larger than a closet. The server is not even a rack, because the price of rack-mounted systems is much more expensive. The connection to the server uses 3com's superstack, the speed

100mbit/s, while using an Ethernet switch. The total cost is US$70,000.”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. A supercomputer only costs 70,000 US dollars? This... this is incredible.

"Haha, his latest DIY supercomputer uses 6720 Intel Pentium 4 processors. After it was built, it ranked 204th in the world's supercomputer rankings. It cost him a total of 2 million

U.S. dollars." Kevin Mitnick said with admiration.

Lin Feng and others were even more horrified when they heard this. He could build a supercomputer that ranks 204th in the world for only 2 million US dollars. This person is so awesome. Of course, Bruce Allen's supercomputer still uses the ones commonly used in the industry.

The operating system is different from that of the supercomputer designed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and its uses are also different. Bruce Allen's supercomputer has a relatively single function, while the so-called supercomputer is more versatile. Therefore, there is a price gap

That's why it's so big.

"Then where is he? Can he work for our company?" Lin Feng asked with eyes shining.

"Haha, boss, he has already arrived. When I left the United States, I brought him with me." Kevin Mitnick snickered.

At this time, an American who was about the same age as Kevin Mitnick walked in.

"Hi, you are Lin Feng. I have seen you in various newspapers and magazines in the United States, but you are really young." Bruce Allen came in and looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Allen, I didn't expect you to come to our company. I'm really excited." Lin Feng stood up excitedly.

Although "Second World" is a game software company, if it can also rise in terms of hardware, it will undoubtedly make "Second World" straighter. Moreover, its games will also be able to realize their dreams - global

interconnected!

"Haha, Mr. Lin, before I join the company, I have only one request." Bruce Allen said with a serious face.

"Tell me, Bruce, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." Lin Feng said, patting his chest.

"Great, Mr. Lin, if you can let Miss Avril sing a song for my 7-year-old daughter in person on her birthday, I will go through fire and water for Mr. Lin, no, for the boss, no matter what." Bruce.

-Alan said with excitement.

Lin Feng was stunned.

"Haha, boss, Bruce's daughter is a big fan of Avril. Based on the relationship between the boss and Avril, this shouldn't be difficult!" Kevin Mitnick explained with a smile.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it's very simple. It's just that Avril is in the United States now. I'm afraid that in the short term..." Lin Feng frowned and said.

"Haha, it's okay, as long as I have the boss's promise. Besides, I heard that Avril seems to be preparing for her first global concert tour. I heard that China is Miss Avril's key country." Bruce -

Allen touched the minibus and said.
