"Its calculation speed is 1.3 times that of the Sunway supercomputer!"
"1.3 times!" A group of computer experts in China were slightly surprised. The speed of the Sunway supercomputer was so fast that it was unimaginable. How much time it took to create it, but they didn't expect it to be surpassed by Titan II!
"Titan II should be ranked first, right?" one person said with emotion.
"No, no, no, this isn't even number one. This year's supercomputer rankings will be the year that changes the most!" Tolan Bell said with a smile, "There are even better supercomputers!"
"What else?" China's computer experts suddenly became nervous. Are China's two supercomputers going to be squeezed out of the top three this year
"Of course," Plit said. "IBM, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense, has developed a quantum computer with fifty qubits, which runs dozens of times faster than Titan II!"
"Fifty qubits!" Chinese computer experts were so surprised that they were speechless. Now the Quantum Research Institute in Shanghai is still trying to conquer twenty qubits. Even the most advanced Hongxin quantum computer research In the center, there seem to be only twenty qubits announced.
And now, people have come up with a quantum computer with fifty qubits, and its computing speed completely crushes their traditional supercomputers!
Plit continued: "Six years ago, we stopped the research and development of traditional supercomputers and then conquered quantum computer technology. Now this is only a phased achievement. I believe that in the next few years, the computing speed of computers will be Quantum computers keep refreshing! ”
When he said this, several experts from China immediately felt ashamed. While they were still pursuing the computing speed of traditional supercomputers, they had long given up on this stage of research and went on to study more advanced quantum computers.
The so-called supercomputer ranking has also become a joke.
The expert who just boasted about Haikou and said that the Sunway supercomputer could still be ranked first was silent, not knowing what to say.
"Oh, the review team is reviewing the quantum computer data submitted by Intel. The top three supercomputers this year may be occupied by quantum computers!" Tolan Bell gave them another heavy blow.
Only then did they discover that it turned out that China Supercomputing had been ranked first in supercomputing several times in a row, but the other party had not competed with them for the time being. When these foreign companies come up with more advanced quantum computers, the technological gap that China has finally caught up with in the computer industry suddenly becomes distant again.
"Top three, I think it's not just the top three, the supercomputing rankings are about to be reshuffled." Lu Zixin said suddenly.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?" Tolan Bell asked.
"I don't have any opinions, but I do have some information." Lu Zixin asked the assistant next to him, "Have our computer information been submitted?"
"It has just been submitted and the experts are in the process of reviewing it," the assistant replied.
After hearing what they said, several people nearby became interested.
Lianxiang President Bai Chenghui asked: "Mr. Lu, when did your Hongxin Group develop a supercomputer? Do you want to participate in this supercomputing ranking?"
Lu Zixin nodded and said: "Our quantum computer has made some small achievements, and we can just use it for criticism by our international colleagues."
Wu Zhigao, the president of Huawei on the side, sighed with emotion: "Hongxin's actions are really fast. A quantum computer is ready so soon!"
"Is there already a finished quantum computer?" Tolan Bell was surprised. He remembered that the last time he saw Hongxin's quantum computer theory in the journal "Science" was only a few months ago.
Within this period of time, they can make a superconducting quantum computer with twenty qubits, which is already pretty good, but they actually dare to send it to participate in the supercomputer ranking? Where does the confidence come from
At this time, a group of staff in the Supercomputer Data Review Office were discussing this year's supercomputing rankings.
“Switzerland’s Deinthorn supercomputer may fall out of the top ten this year!”
"The island country's Xiaoguang supercomputer ranking will also drop. In recent years, many new supercomputers have appeared in order to develop AI technology and big data analysis."
"IBM's quantum computer is so powerful, its computing speed can definitely reach the top!"
"No, Intel's quantum computer is stronger and can perform tens of billions of operations per second faster than IBM's quantum computer!"
"Oh my God, is this data real?" Suddenly a person from the review team exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Connie." The colleague asked curiously.
The man named Connie pointed at the data on the computer with his big mouth and stammered: "This quantum computer can calculate more than 10 billion times faster than the two machines just now!"
For supercomputer computing speed, 100 million seems to have become a small unit. What's more, an order of magnitude improvement will change the calculation speed, and the optimization of other performance will be an upgrade countless times!
"What? More than 10 billion times faster than the fastest?" When the members of the review team heard his words, they couldn't believe it. This span was too exaggerated!
You know, before this, the computing speed of the world's number one supercomputer was only more than four times higher than the number two. Now it suddenly reaches 10 billion times. It's too exaggerated!
"The information must be wrong!" The leader of the review team immediately concluded, "This is impossible. It is impossible for the computer's performance to make such a leap. Re-examine it. If the information is wrong, it will be disqualified from the selection."
"No, I've checked it three times, and there's nothing wrong with the data!" Connie said excitedly, "Unless every word and every data above is false! Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with the data!"
The team leader still didn't believe it and said, "You must have made a mistake. You guys can check it again for him."
Several members re-checked, but the results remained unchanged. According to data, this quantum computer is completely ahead of quantum computers from companies such as IBM and Intel!
"Oh my God, have they really made such a computer?" Even the team leader couldn't calm down anymore and ordered: "Hurry up and contact the Hongxin Group. We must confirm this matter more strictly!"
Some supercomputers are as large as basketball courts and football fields and are located all over the world. It is impossible for the review team to visit every research institution and generally review public data. Until now, members of the review team feel that this public data is a bit too fake! So they need to use stricter review methods to make sure this thing is not a joke.
Before the facts were 100% confirmed, relevant news spread, and internal members of IEEE and the American Computer Society heard some rumors.
