Chapter 980 Private Supercomputing (Part 2)

The tests and other things after the supercomputer relocation are completely a cover. Guo Tailai is planning to test the supercomputer chips he built.

The supercomputer deployed by Guo Tailai's data service company is the Dawn 4000a developed by the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a running speed of 11 trillion times per second. In the early stage, except for occasionally rendering the mt30 assembly demonstration animation when free, most of the other computing power is to perform the body design scheme of the supersonic passenger aircraft required by Guo Tailai, which is basically full.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to deploy an underwater computer room, Dawn-4000a will also undergo some upgrades. Although it has not reached the level of 5000a, it is also a small version higher than 4000a, and the running speed has reached 80 trillion times per second, almost seven times higher.

Of course, Guo Tailai will definitely carry private goods and put a batch of servers he made into at the same time. Once the underwater computer room is in the water, it will be turned on and maintained once a long time, and Guo Tailai's server will be relatively safe. When used, just use a separate line, which is easy to do. Guo Tailai can even leave some nanorobots to remotely control through satellite lines in the computer room, which is very convenient.

The Shuguang Supercomputer will definitely be delivered after the test is completed, so basically there is no need to worry, but Guo Tailai's own supercomputer must be tested, and he happened to use it to render "Avatar" and test the usage status.

Guo Tailai said this, and it was a supercomputer rendering. How could James disagree? Avatar's later rendering used six supercomputers from Vita Digital, each running at a speed of about 200 trillion times per second, and the rendering work lasted for a whole year. Adding one extra supercomputer can be completed a period of time in advance, and it will not harm him no matter how to calculate it. Moreover, the boss's own supercomputer must be taken care of in terms of confidentiality and priority, so there is no need to worry at all.

"Okay!" James agreed without even hesitation.

There is no need to worry about negotiating with Vita Digital. Anyway, Guo Tai said that it is just a small part of the small rendering used to test the operation of the supercomputer, and it will not be divided into much.

Guo Tailai needs supercomputers. Not only does the design company need to use supercomputers for wind tunnel analysis and body stress analysis, but he also needs a supercomputer to design the aircraft he wants. That monster aircraft is not suitable for everyone to know in the early stage, so it should be done by himself!

During this dive, whether it was Guo Tailai Chufei or James, his body and mind were relaxed, which was much more satisfying than the ordinary vacation effect. The three of them quickly became energetic and devoted themselves to their work.

James continued to go back to work as Avatar in the later stages, and Chu Fei also began to prepare for Transformers' global publicity, but this publicity work was mainly concentrated in the United States and China. At that time, Guo Tailai would still be able to accompany Chu Fei to attend the premiere.

Guo Tailai's work is still the same, but there is another new job, processing the underwater computer room and installing and debugging his own server.

The twelve-inch silicon wafer cylinder I bought before can now come in full use. The chip he wants to make has been designed and processed.

The design of this super chip brought in the control system is a mature giant chip in the future, with only one chip of 12 trillion transistors, a twelve-inch wafer can only make one chip, the largest chip in history, specifically for AI tasks and supercomputers.

This giant chip is the final mature version of wse (waferscaleengine) produced by Cerebras. It covers an area of ​​42,225 square millimeters, has 1.2 trillion transistors, 400,000 cores, on-chip memory 18g bytes, memory bandwidth 19pbyte/s, and fabric bandwidth 100pbit/s.

The 400,000 cores are connected together through fine-grained, full hardware, and on-chip networks, which can provide a total bandwidth of 100pb (100x1000tb) per second. They provide supercomputer-level computing power, high-performance memory and bandwidth in a single wafer-level solution. It can be said that a WSE chip is a supercomputer, and it is a supercomputer in the next fifteen years, and it also comes with AI learning capabilities.

Guo Tailai made 10,000 new films like this, and combined them according to the integrated system. It can be said that if successful, it will be the most powerful supercomputer in the next ten years, no one. The comprehensive performance is millions of times stronger than the current Dawn 4000a.

Avatar's post-production rendering work used Vita Digital's six supercomputers to compute for a whole year. It may only take less than an hour to put it in front of this new supercomputer. Unfortunately, Guo Tailai's powerful computing power is to ensure the perfection of the monster plane he created, not for the special effects rendering of film and television. Guo Tailai had no intention of revealing this magic weapon to outsiders, so he should master it first.

The biggest problem with wse is that the success rate of drilling is too low. A twelve-inch wafer can only make one chip. If there is a slight error, the chip will be scrapped.

But there is no big problem here with Guo Tailai. Although there will be occasional mistakes, it is much higher than the success rate of manufacturing with lithography machines. The same is true for subsequent packaging, which also leads to almost no one except Guo Tailai, and Intel, the leader in the chip industry, can do it either.

Another trouble is that the heat dissipation is relatively high, and liquid cooling must be used. Fortunately, Guo Tailai is currently using the underwater computer room, and the entire computer room will be immersed in water. The lake water of Dushu Lake is circulated to ensure that a large amount of operating heat can be taken away in time.

Guo Tailai's processing workshop is kept confidential and no one knows what he is doing inside. Especially after the two leaders had dinner, they sent people to strengthen the security level there. Except for Guo Tailai and several people around him, no one could enter the processing workshop. In this case, Guo Tailai processed a large number of chips without any pressure at all.

It was already mid-May when I came back. By mid-June, Guo Tailai had completed all the supercomputers and underwater computer rooms. The underwater project next to the hotel was also completed, and I just waited for the supercomputers to be relocated and then put into the water.

It took a week for the data company's supercomputer to be installed. After the power-on test was successful, the underwater computer room was filled with water and sealed, and successfully placed underwater. The water-cooled cycle started, and the Shuguang supercomputer was successfully started and started to run.

A small part of James' rendering work was also submitted to Guo Tailai through the satellite network. Guo Tailai started the wse supercomputer, installed the rendering software, and started the calculation. Ten seconds later, the two-minute special effects shot rendering was completed. Guo Tailai saw the picture after the rendering was successful in his mind, perfect!

Good news comes one by one. After more than two years of construction, the Iron Man Building was completely completed and delivered. The next step is to carry out investment and other work, but some shots from the crew of "Iron Man" can be shot here. Good news.
Chapter completed!
