"Boss, how are you? This is our company's first supercomputer. I named it 'Mowu No. 1'." Bruce Allen looked at the rows of cabinets as if looking at his own children, with a look on his face.

Happiness and contentment.

Lin Feng was slightly speechless. Although he had known that the size of the supercomputer was appalling, he was still frightened after seeing it with his own eyes. "Mowu No. 1" consists of a total of 78 cabinets, each cabinet covers an area of ​​1.44 square meters, and is high

Two meters and weighing 1.5 tons, the total system weight is equivalent to 13 Shenzhou spacecrafts. Taking ventilation and other conditions into consideration, a room of nearly 1,000 square meters is required to place "Mowu 1".

In order to house the "Mowu No. 1", Lin Feng had to temporarily rent a large warehouse near the "Second World" headquarters to avoid the weight of the "Mowu No. 1" from crushing the building. However, this

It also gave Lin Feng a warning. When Tom Wright, the chief engineer of the "Second World" Ministry of Infrastructure, wasted no time in casting the reinforced concrete of the "Second World" headquarters, Lin Feng asked him to pay attention to the future development of the "Second World" supercomputer.

Placement, don't let the supercomputer be placed because the headquarters building does not have enough load-bearing capacity, that would be a joke.

After Tom Wright carefully calculated the total volume of "Mowu 1" and asked Wu Zhaopu to evaluate the number of supercomputers that the "Second World" might have in the future, he abruptly revised the drawings and transformed the future "Second World" headquarters into

The building's load-bearing capacity has been increased by three times. However, due to limitations such as the already laid foundation, I am afraid that the height of the "Second World" headquarters building will be slightly reduced. I am afraid that after completion, it may not be able to exceed the 508 designed for Taiwan's "101" building.

rice.

Lin Feng didn't pay too much attention to this. The so-called world's tallest skyscraper is just a gimmick. As long as it can become a symbolic building in Shanghai, it doesn't have to be the world's tallest skyscraper.

"Boss, my only regret is that the current operating system software is a supercomputer system software programmed by me. It has a relatively single function. It can only be used as a game server for the time being, and its performance cannot be fully utilized." Bruce Allen said regretfully.

.

There is no way around this. "Mowu 1" has 6720 Pentium 4 processors with "hyper-threading" technology and 10320 ati image processing units. I want to design a system that can ideally exert its full performance.

For software, there are more than 500,000 lines of code alone. According to the standard speed of a programmer writing 20 lines of code per hour, one person needs to write 25,000 hours, and 100 programmers will also need a full 250 hours.

And this does not include the modifications, discussions, final review, testing, etc., therefore, Bruce Allen can only temporarily use a simple supercomputer operating system that he designed before. Although, it is not possible yet.

Fully utilize its performance, but that's all it can do for now.

Lin Feng frowned. This is a difficult problem. His company does not have only this one supercomputer. If all of them are like this, that would not be good. This is too wasteful!

"Boss, don't worry. I have lurked into the computer of a manager of IBM's production and development department and have obtained some peripheral information on the supercomputer 'Zouque' developed by IBM. Although I cannot obtain its core information yet, I believe that sooner or later I will

You can steal information from it without leaving any trace." Kevin Mitnick said confidently.

"Yes, if we dig out a few senior programmers from Microsoft, we will be able to develop our own supercomputer operating system." Bruce Allen said with a fist.

"Coupled with our 'cloud computing' to interconnect the company's supercomputers, I believe our company will have the best supercomputer network terminal in the world." Cohen said yearningly.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded. With these three people, the company's technical strength will not be weak, especially the existence of Kevin Mitnick. As long as he is no longer as flamboyant and careless as before, Lin Feng believes that there is no one in this world.

A network security expert can catch him. Previously, he was caught by Japanese network expert Shimomura. It was Kevin Mitnick who was too arrogant and deliberately lured Shimomura to catch him, just to play a "cat and mouse" trick.

Unexpectedly, with the cooperation of the FBI, the weak Kevin Mitnick was eventually captured. Now with his own company as a backend, Kevin Mitnick will be able to truly soar on the Internet.

"By the way, how much did this 'Mowu No. 1' cost?" Lin Feng asked.

"The total cost was 9.2 million U.S. dollars," Bruce Allen said.

Lin Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that the configuration was nearly 20% higher than before, but the price was actually US$800,000 less than the budget.

"Haha, boss, you don't know. If you go to IBM, Dell, Intel and other companies and tell them that you have a budget of 10 million US dollars, how much can they sell you the processor? If you go to a few more companies, you will find out.

The essence of shopping around." Bruce Allen said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Bruce, please assemble three more supercomputers. I'm afraid that this time "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" will require multiple supercomputers to allow the player's computer to run smoothly." Lin Feng gave the order after thinking for a while.

"No problem, boss." Bruce Allen nodded.

Bruce Allen then held a press conference and announced the birth of the first supercomputer in the "Second World". The speed of 12 trillion operations and the price of US$9.2 million shocked all reporters, especially those who had previously criticized the "Second World".

The competitors who put up smoke bombs in "Second World" were even more shocked and speechless when they received the news.

But for all players, this is the best thing. The more powerful the supercomputers in the "Second World" are, the smoother the operating environment that players will be able to enjoy.

Netizen "haosad" said - This is really exciting. It is the pride of all Chinese people and the happiness of all players that the "Second World" can have its own supercomputer.

...

While netizens across the country are hotly discussing what kind of speed the "second world" supercomputers will bring, Takashi Nishiyama is also back with good news.

"Boss, the first mainland season of the "King of Fighters Online" league has ended. The masters of all levels have been determined, and all players have been awarded medals of honor and bonuses for the top ten players on major lists, such as the Heavenly Ranking and the Earthly Ranking.

The player list also determined 29 players each to represent mainland China and participate in the first "King of Fighters Online" championship league." Nishiyama Takashi said with a bright face.

After the launch of the "King of Fighters Online" league system and the Asian Champions League, player interest has been unprecedentedly high. The fixed number of 200 games per month has been exceeded by players. On average, each player participated in 275 games in April.

, and the number of limited player registrations has exceeded 4.5 million. Of course, there are also worries about happiness. The increased number of players has exceeded the total number of players that the previously established sky list, earth list, and human list can bear. Nishiyama Takashi's temporary toilet

, there are 26 levels in the player list, and each level is expanded by 5,000 people, which can be regarded as cramming these people in. Although this makes the promotion and downgrade of players more intense to a certain extent, it undoubtedly makes the game more fun.

"Well, by the way, how many countries in Asia and Southeast Asia can launch our "King of Fighters Online" league?" This is what Lin Feng is most concerned about.

"Haha, boss, in addition to mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, a total of 2 regions and 5 countries can launch our "King of Fighters Online" league." Takashi Nishiyama introduced excitedly.

.

"Well, boss, our 'Second World' has already established branches in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, but I have not established branches in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia or Hong Kong." Wu Zhaopu said.

Lin Feng was stunned, but knowing that Wu Zhaopu must have his own ideas, he waited patiently for the next step.

"Three countries including Hong Kong and Singapore, although the "King of Fighters" series is very popular, the overall population and market are too small, so it is not cost-effective to set up branches there. In particular, the political situation in Thailand has always been unstable. I am afraid that due to the political turmoil,

The company's core secrets will be stolen by malicious people." Wu Zhaopu explained.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Therefore, I have only set up a simple small company in four regions for more than a month to be responsible for data transmission. I mainly rely on servers in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and the headquarters for data processing. Previously, in Japan,

During the player qualification test in South Korea and other countries, it was also proven that the servers in the four regions can handle the data traffic processing of players in all countries in Asia and Southeast Asia. Although there was a slight lag at the peak of the online launch, I believe that with the introduction of supercomputers, the speed will increase.

With the help of 'cloud computing', additional data traffic from Singapore and other countries will not have any impact on the company." Wu Zhaopu said confidently.

Lin Feng applauded. Although the "Second World" seems to be making money as fast as it is printing money, there are many places to spend money. "Legend" movie city, "Second World" headquarters building, supercomputers, game development, etc.

Wait, the "Second World" has almost been hollowed out. Subtracting the various budgets that have been approved so far, the remaining liquidity in the "Second World" account is only about 100 million US dollars. Although for most game companies, 1
