Reborn Tech Maniac
Chapter 344 The Asian Funders
Chapter 344 The Asian Funders
The 1980s was destined to be an era of intense competition among computer hardware platforms. This was true for personal computers and also for supercomputers.
On a macro level, the United States used to stand out, but now it is the Soviet Union, Japan and other competitors, all of which are attacking the throne of "the world's fastest supercomputer".
On the micro level, the face-to-face competition between companies must be more specific and intense.
In the 1960s, IBM invested huge resources in System/360, but compared with the CDC 6600 and CDC 7600 developed by Seymour Cray, a data control company in the same period, the performance was still three points inferior.
However, the success of product technology does not necessarily mean the success of the company's operation. CDC was unable to support the two solutions in the subsequent product development, so Seymour Cray left CDC and founded Cray Inc.——Cray Company. In 1976, Cray-1 was launched, which became the fastest supercomputer in the world with a computing speed of 250 MFLOPS.
At the same time, with the vigorous development of minicomputers, many newcomers entered the field of supercomputers one after another. Tang Huan was one of them, and the competition in the industry naturally became more intense.
For example, the fastest supercomputer computing speed this year - 400 MFLOPS.Appears in many places around the world.
The mystery of the supercomputer's powerful performance mainly comes from parallel processing, that is, subdividing complex tasks into tasks that can be processed simultaneously and distributing them on different processors.
At present, the CPUs used in personal computers are all scalar processors, that is, only one piece of data is processed at the same time, which is specifically expressed as Single Instruction Single Data—Single Instruction Stream Single Data Stream, or SISD.
As early as the 1970s, the processors used by supercomputers like Cray-1 belonged to vector processors, that is, they could directly operate one-dimensional arrays. One of the specific manifestations is Single Instruction Multiple Data——single instruction stream Multiple Data Streams, or SIMD.
According to historical development, general-purpose microprocessor manufacturers, such as Intel, will continue to add high-end features such as RISC and parallel processing to their CPUs, and MMX and SSE are the specific means to realize SIMD.
But at this stage, the two types of processors are still distinct in design.
DBS One, which uses Yi Peng/Holder processors, is a bit further ahead in terms of parallelism. It can be roughly described as an accumulation of "nodes" composed of Yi Peng/Holder processors, co-processors, and memory. .
The obvious advantage of this solution is that it is relatively easy to manufacture and has excellent stability; there are also many disadvantages, such as complex software implementation and high power consumption.
But in any case, the successful development of DBS-[-] proves that Tang Huan's plan can be implemented without any problems at this stage.
And this precedent can also allow Fangyuan Computer Company to gain a foothold in the most high-end field of supercomputers, and stand shoulder to shoulder with traditional powerhouses such as IBM, HP, and DEC.
From now on, when the name of Fangyuan Computer Company is mentioned again, if anyone wants to say condescendingly, "Isn't that the company that produces toy computers", then he will be slapped in the face.
Although the performance of DBS-[-] is not the top in the world, it is good enough, which is also in line with Tang Huan's positioning for himself as a latecomer.
From Singapore's point of view, in addition to the "adequate" performance of DBS-[-], the most important thing is that I participated in the research and development process and mastered the technology, which is of great significance and has gained both face and face.
For this, Tang Huan congratulated, but did not point out the stakes.
In the original time and space, China's "Tianhe-5" has been as self-reliant as possible. For example, the operating system does not use UNIX, but the Kylin OS developed by itself - the Kirin operating system, but its processor and coprocessor are respectively Intel's Xeon E2692-[-] and Xeon Phi.
DBS One uses Yi Peng/Holder processors and Vientiane operating system, and the key technologies are obviously further away from self-reliance.
In the next few years, the competition for the top technology of supercomputers will inevitably focus on how to break through the computing speed of 1 GFLOPS. Following this, some existing technologies will have to be improved. Singapore's technical team will inevitably struggle.
After the acceptance of DBS-[-], the first program to be officially put into operation is the data analysis of weather forecast.
The next location was switched to the Mandarin Hotel, and the Singapore side threw a big feast to celebrate.
This activity is mainly to reward the specific participants of all parties. People at the level of Tang Huan, after finishing the face-saving work such as speeches, naturally divert their attention and take advantage of the rare opportunity to communicate with the high-level officials in Singapore.
"How is the plan to acquire Pacific Bell going?" Premier Li asked this topic enthusiastically.
With the emergence of high-end products such as telecom program-controlled switches, Fangyuan personal workstations, network servers, and supercomputers, Tang Huan not only expanded his wealth and strength, but also made his investment vision more convincing.
A test line erected by SingTel has already achieved a data transmission rate of 1200 bps. With the successful example of DBS [-], Tang Huan's new idea on the profit model of telecom is undoubtedly more credible.
As one of the financial providers of Pacific Bell's acquisition plan, Prime Minister Li's interest is naturally growing.
"As for the assets that are destined to be split off, AT&T is happy to cash them out and kick them into their pockets." Tang Huan smiled relaxedly, "Goldman Sachs has cleared all possible obstacles at the policy level. Details are being discussed and results are expected in December."
Having said this, Tang Huan glanced at several other senior officials and said, "This time, I also want to invite higher-level representatives to serve as observers in the United States."
"No problem." Premier Li nodded. "The Singapore Government Investment Corporation, which was established only this year, intends to do business in North America. You, the richest man in the United States, may wish to give you some advice."
Tang Huan thought about it for a while. In the original time and space, the United States changed from the world's largest creditor country to the world's largest debtor country during Reagan's presidency. Under such general circumstances, he wanted to go to the United States. Investment, of course, is a treat that is open to all comers.
"All I can say is that it's not difficult to make a lot of money by focusing on the high-tech industry." Tang Huan laughed, "Of course, the investment risk is also very high, which may conflict with your strategy."
"It's okay, we have you as a trustworthy friend." Premier Li's speech and demeanor can be described as showing closeness.
……
After making a further agreement with the financial backer in Singapore, Tang Huan set off for Baodao.
At this time, it has entered November, and 11 is coming to an end at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After arriving in Baodao, Tang Huan first asked about the situation of the already full-fledged DreamWorks participating in the Golden Horse Awards.
This year's Golden Horse Awards is No.18, and there is a significant change, that is, the venue left Taipei for the first time and came to Kaohsiung in the southwest of Taiwan.
In order to continue to attract the attention of international media and expand its influence, the Golden Horse Awards, after inviting Elizabeth Taylor as the award guest the year before last, this year also invited Charles Bronson from Hollywood in the United States, and Alain Delon from France. Landron, Toshiro Mifune of Japan.
However, it is said that Charles Bronson and Alain Delon had a quarrel and refused to take a group photo, and the embarrassment was resolved in the end when the awards were presented separately.
It is somewhat intriguing that after Hong Kong filmmakers expressed their dissatisfaction with last year's Golden Horse Awards, this year Hong Kong film industry leader Run Run Shaw personally served as the best film award presenter to support the Golden Horse Awards with action.
Seeing this, Tang Huan couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Based on this, he inferred that the first Hong Kong Film Awards next year might really be as cold as it used to be.
The best director was won by Xu Ke with "Ghost Horse, Smart Stars", and DreamWorks' trip was worthwhile.
After seeing Deng Lijun's three movie songs appearing in this year's Golden Horse Awards, Tang Huan stopped paying attention to the news such as Alan Tam and Zhang Aijia winning the best leading actor and actress respectively. He put down the newspaper and picked up the company documents.
Not long after, Shi Chongtang came to report to Tang Huan, and mentioned one thing by the way, "The Institute of Investment and Strategy is studying a new Chinese internal code solution, called Big5, and plans to launch a text-based Processing, electronic form, database, network communication, and drawing include five major Chinese packaged software."
The Information Policy Council, the Information Industry Initiative Council, was established to promote the development of information technology in Taiwan. It is regarded as a think tank in this field. It has deeply participated in the formulation of relevant policies and laws, and its research projects have a certain official color. Tang Huan was naturally familiar with it.
"Zheru's Tangma, WordEasy, CGrid, and EBase have become a unified force in East and Southeast Asia. Isn't Zizi unclear?" Tang Huan raised an eyebrow, "Such a counter-trend move, Zizi What does Cehui want to do?"
"It should be related to your increasing investment in mainland China." Shi Chongtang smiled slightly, "Perhaps the Investment Strategy Committee thinks that giving the ubiquitous Fangyuan computer and Zheru software a bottom-up can get more say in the industry."
"In terms of business and business, Baodao enterprises are restricted and cannot invest in the mainland to make money, but there is no reason for my financial resources to be blocked." Tang Huan shook his head helplessly, "I simply don't know the so-called internal friction. "
"I'm just reporting this matter." Shi Chongtang shrugged with a relaxed expression, "In my opinion, if Zi Ce would do this, it would be a bit of a trap."
……
At the banquet held by the Wang family that Tang Huan attended later, Jian Mingren smiled disapprovingly after Tang Huan mentioned this matter, "The officials are a little bit taken for granted, and some technicians are too eager to make contributions, and they don't understand our business at all. What kind of dominance the product has in the market.”
Zheru, Fangyuan Computer, and EA's products are sold in Treasure Island mainly through Jian Mingren and Wang Xueling's popular computer companies. Jian Mingren naturally has the most say in the local market structure of Treasure Island.
"Don't take it too lightly, let's observe carefully first." Tang Huan nodded, and put down the topic. Anyway, everyone's interests are the same, and he doesn't need to worry too much about that trivial heart.
The Wang family is also one of the fund providers for Pacific Bell's acquisition plan. Although it can't compare with Singapore's amount of at least one billion US dollars, their attitude is very positive. Of course, Tang Huan will not refuse anyone.
In the original time and space, after the death of Wang Yongqing, the media disclosed that he had an estimated assets of nearly 200 billion US dollars in the United States.
It is not difficult to see from this, the treasure island "god of management" the way of wealth preservation.
In addition to continuing to communicate on investment, Tang Huan also wants to discuss another cooperation project, namely the research and development and production of CD discs.
Tang Huan absolutely hates the current personal computer storage devices with a maximum capacity of more than ten megabytes, so he spares no effort in promoting the CD data storage solution.
……
There is no doubt that Japan is the biggest benefactor.Tang Huan was amazed by Sun Zhengyi's ability to act. He raised nearly one billion US dollars in funds, which shows how good his eloquence is.
When Tang Huan carried out activities through Epson, Sharp and other channels, after all, he still held the title of a billionaire, while Sun Zhengyi was just a businessman with a modest fortune. He only had one mouth to impress investors.
Seeing that more and more participants were bound to the chariot that was about to go to the Internet, Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, and there was nothing better than this.
Tang Huan originally wanted to go to the Women's Volleyball World Cup so that he could witness the first five consecutive Chinese women's volleyball championships, but the affairs in Japan were a bit complicated, and the venues were scattered in various cities, so he had to give up regretfully.
After getting rid of the control of the Hattori family, Epson's listing can be put on the agenda.
Since dot matrix printers are in an absolute dominant position in the Japanese market this year, Epson has aroused great interest from investors, and its listing prospects are widely optimistic.
However, Epson has encountered setbacks in the development of inkjet printers, and negotiations with Canon have reached a deadlock.
In the field of inkjet printers, Epson is a latecomer.In order to catch up with the market situation, Tang Huan decided to introduce the authorization of "thermal bubble" inkjet printers from Canon, the pioneer.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese companies that have joined forces with the outside world are not polite to their peers, and the conditions given by Canon are relatively harsh.
In this regard, there were disagreements within Epson. There was a voice that they simply turned to develop their own piezoelectric inkjet printers.
