The importance of supercomputers is self-evident!
Let’s not talk about the distant past, just take the satellite navigation paper he submitted.
Even if the Satellite Research Institute really completed a satellite navigation system that is far ahead of this era as stated in the paper.
But the more advanced the satellite navigation system, the more data it collects.
It is simply impossible to rely on ordinary computers to analyze such a huge amount of data and get accurate results.
All data processing has to rely on supercomputers.
As technology develops, supercomputers will become more and more important.
In the future era of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data, we cannot escape the shadow of supercomputers.
A camera takes a picture of a suspect's face, and the public security system conducts data comparison.
To find the real information of the suspect from the billions of people in the database, we need to rely on supercomputers for analysis and processing.
This is especially true in the area of national defense.
For a guided missile to accurately hit a target, in addition to calculating various environmental factors, it must also take into account the interference of the opponent's air defense system.
How can we guarantee accurate hits if a large amount of data is not processed accurately
"This supercomputer has a storage capacity of 200 trillion bytes, which is equivalent to storing 1 billion books with 1 million words..."
Liu Ping continued to talk about Tianhe-1.
This explanation lasted for two hours, and Liu Ping's mouth was almost never closed, and his mouth was dry.
And there is no sign of stopping.
It can be seen how complicated the Tianhe-1 is. It takes so much time just to explain it.
Chen Ming was somewhat interested at first, but he felt more and more tired as time went on.
After all, he is an experienced person and has a lot of knowledge about computers. In addition, he has advanced hacking skills in his mind and has a comprehensive understanding of computers.
Therefore, he knew most of what Liu Ping explained.
While Liu Ping was swallowing his saliva and trying to moisten his throat before continuing to talk, Chen Ming interrupted him:
"Brother, I see you are tired, why don't we stop here first? I think I understand everything. If there is anything I don't understand, I will figure it out myself. If I really don't understand, I will ask you. You can take a rest first."
Listening to Chen Ming's words, Liu Ping was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Ming suspiciously.
You can understand it just by listening to me give a brief introduction
Although you are here to gild your reputation, you'd better learn with an open mind, otherwise when others ask you questions, you don't know anything, what a waste of time!
Liu Ping couldn't help but hum in his heart.
I wasted my time talking to him, but he still complained about it. This generation of young people is really hard to lead.
But Chen Ming didn't need him to explain, he was also very happy. After all, his throat was almost smoking.
"Okay, then you can figure it out on your own. Tell me if you don't understand anything."
Although he was very hungry, he did not show it. He returned to his workstation and continued working.
Chen Ming came to Jin Wenling's desk.
Jin Wenling was still busy at this time. When she saw Chen Ming coming over, she immediately stopped what she was doing and asked, "Why, have you understood everything?"
Chen Ming nodded. Although he did not listen to Liu Ping's complete introduction, he himself had some understanding of Tianhe-1.
He asked Jin Wenling, "Dean, do you have any tasks for me?"
Now in the laboratory, everyone is busy, some are typing on the keyboard, some are adjusting instruments. Even Liu Ping, who is thirsty, immediately throws himself into work after returning to his workstation.
Chen Ming didn't want to be idle like this.
Jin Wenling thought for a moment, nodded and said, "There is a test program. I'll give it to you to do. The program requires me to send it to you via QQ. You just need to complete it within this week."
Before Tianhe-1 is officially put into use, various tests are still needed to ensure that everything is foolproof before the results will be announced.
Therefore, before this, a lot of testing and modification are needed, and this testing procedure is inevitable.
Otherwise, it would be like the aircraft carrier of India next door in later generations. The early tests were not done well, it went to sea three times in a row, and was scrapped three times, becoming an international laughing stock.
It can be seen how important testing is before declaring a product successful.
Facing Jin Wenling's instructions, Chen Ming nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Okay."
Programming? I can do that!
Although this test program is directly applied to supercomputers, it is many times more difficult than ordinary computer programs.
But for Chen Ming, let alone the current Tianhe-1, even the testing programs for various supercomputers ten years later are a piece of cake!
Seeing Chen Ming agreed so readily, Jin Wenling showed a satisfied smile on her face and said, "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the brothers around you."
Chen Ming nodded, turned around and found an empty workstation to sit down.
I turned on the computer and logged into QQ, and Jin Wenling’s document message came over.
This was added to facilitate communication when I went to Jin Wenling's house for dinner a few times before.
Chen Ming opened the document, which indicated the requirements of the testing procedure.
After memorizing all the requirements in his mind, Chen Ming opened the programming window and started programming.
This test program is used to test the Tianhe-1 supercomputer.
For ordinary programmers, writing such a program is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Even if you work yourself to the point of baldness, you may not be able to do it.
But the graduate students in this R&D group all started out as PhDs from the National University of Defense Technology.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the top group of people in the country's computer field.
It can be done almost within a week.
Jin Wenling believes that Chen Ming's computer skills are no less than any top student here.
So she gave him a week, and she believed that Chen Ming could complete it within a week.
But she still underestimated Chen Ming.
With the support of advanced hacking skills, for Chen Ming, this kind of program is basically available at any time, as if it is engraved in his mind.
One week? This is not only an insult to Chen Ming, but also an insult to the plug-in!
After opening the programming software, Chen Ming took action immediately.
The crisp and busy sound of keyboards could be heard in the laboratory, and the cursor on the computer was falling rapidly like running water.
And every character is very precise, even the delete key is rarely used.
It was as if the keyboard was a part of his body, and the characters he thought of would be pressed automatically.
At this time, everyone else in the laboratory looked over, and they were all stunned.
"He, is he writing program code?"
"It seems so. I just heard that the dean assigned him the task of testing the program."
"But doesn't he have to think about it?!"
…
Whispered discussions suddenly arose in the laboratory.
Even when Jin Wenling looked over, she had a surprised expression on her face.
Because Chen Ming doesn't seem to be writing code, but more like smashing the keyboard for fun.
Programming software is not something you can just type randomly.
When ordinary people write programs, they have to think about program logic, building the underlying code framework, program optimization and other issues while writing.
It's probably difficult to complete many lines of code in an hour.
If it is a simple code, it is fine. But if it is more difficult, it will be a headache for ordinary people.
Usually you have to use the most powerful tool, which is Baidu, and then ctrl+c and ctrl+v.
What simple code can detect supercomputer program code? !
Even if the most experienced among them were to do it, they would still have to work hard to pull out the few remaining hairs.
However, where did Chen Ming show any intention of stopping
It's as if the code is growing in my mind and I just have to print it out.
Is this something a normal human can do?!
Everyone looked at Chen Ming suspiciously.
"He is just typing it randomly, how can it be a serious code?"
Someone murmured quietly.
"I'm not sure. Let's just get on with the work. We'll know if it's true or not when he's done."
"However, I think we need to be prepared to keep a hand. If his program cannot be completed in the end, we still have a chance to make up for it."
