Blooming America

Chapter 337 Thunder, Thunder Graphics Card

"Um... OK, specific time..." Puzo looked at the calendar: "It's 9 o'clock in the morning next Monday. I'll be waiting for you here."

Puzo, 47, is a best-selling novelist. He was born in a family of Italian immigrants in the West Side of Manhattan, New York. Life was poor at a young age, but he loved reading since he was a child. In his youth, he was particularly interested in the works of the great Russian writer Dostoevsky and determined to be a writer. During the Second World War, he left home to join the army and traveled to the European battlefields. During the war, he collected a lot of writing materials. After the war, he went to Columbia University in New York to study sociology and began his writing career. Puzo’s first two novels, "On the Dark Stage" and "The Lucky Pilgrim," both ended in failure, but Puzo did not get discouraged, but continued to write. After more than ten years of lying, he finally wrote I wrote this "The Godfather".

Putting down the phone, Puzo still felt flattered.

It was DreamWorks who called.

They actually fell in love with their novels and asked for the right to adapt them!

To be honest, although the sales of "The Godfather" seems to be good, Puzo never thought that his novel could be adapted into a movie.

But Puzo quickly reacted. He wanted to become a great writer, and his own novel could be adapted, which also proved his strength, but if he is satisfied with this, he can do this step. It's the limit.

He has made an appointment with DreamWorks to purchase the copyright of the script and the issues and issues of the adaptation next week.

To be honest, Puzo was able to write "The Godfather" because of the relationship between "Wasteland".

Most people can see that this film is "cool", but what Puzo sees is the cruelty of the film.

Although "Wasteland" is quite legendary, the lives of other people in this future background in which it exists are miserable. "Wasteland" presents a magnificent world in front of everyone. Through the protagonist's story, people can see the wonderful fight, the ups and downs of the plot, and the heroic tenderness.

However, in the extended version of d of "Wasteland"-DreamWorks, in order to collect money, put "Wasteland" edited for release into d intact, and called it "extended." ——But used the lens to describe another cruel world.

In the extended version of d, which has been extended by more than a few minutes, the style of "Wasteland" is also revealed.

Various forces are fighting, and women who are likely to be chased anytime and anywhere... This is a world with almost no rule of law...

When Puzo was 12 years old, his father abandoned his home and raised seven children independently by his mother. His mother was very beautiful, but she was a very cruel and ruthless person.

The elements of dignity and cruelty in Puzo's work are largely based on his mother. Despite his childhood misfortune, he still taught himself through tenacious perseverance. When I grew up, I worked at the New York Main Train Station. When I grew up, I worked at the New York Main Train Station. Then I joined the army and started writing.

It can be said that the plot of "Wasteland" touched something in his heart, and because of this, Puzo was able to write "The Godfather" that appeared in him.

"Shooting a movie..."

Puzo has decided that as long as the price is not too low, he will authorize it to DreamWorks.

"Will it be Miss Edson to direct?"

He is a little looking forward to it, but everything will not be revealed until next week...

...

The design and demonstration of the tank is a long-term process.

Fortunately, this is the United States, not a country like China. The United States has sufficient technological reserves, and the processing accuracy of parts is also very high. Therefore, many things need to be "tackled" in China, while in the United States, only "usage" is enough-of course, the premise is Patent authorization is required.

If there are no accidents, the series of main battle tanks will be finalized in one to two years. This is a long-term process. Even if Catherine pays attention every day, it is useless, so Catherine quickly turned her attention away from that. Come.

But Catherine also noticed the name "Billy Barber". Somehow, when she heard the name, she always thought of "Bibab" and "Bibibaba"...

Although younger and more vigorous, Billy seems to be a worthy person to cultivate. Although she rarely manages personnel transfers, she still promoted Billy by one level and made him the deputy director.

The authorization negotiations with Puzo have not yet begun, but this does not prevent Catherine from writing a script for this purpose-but the busy Catherine is destined to run out of time.

Not long after the tank problem was solved, there was good news from Thunder Lab-the GPU was finally finalized.

Hearing this news, Catherine came to the Thunder Lab without stopping.

"Is the GPU finished?"

After meeting Roberts, Catherine immediately began to ask.

"Yes...but there is still a small problem."

"what?"

"We are trying to integrate the gpu with the original 2d renderer of inte1, so there are still some problems in the design architecture, but the product of the pure cuda architecture is already completed, and we have tried to add the gpu to the Pentium computer. , The computer’s performance has increased by at least more than %, and the peak value has exceeded %.”

Gpu does not need to control many things like cpu, so it has natural advantages in data processing. Coupled with the clever cuda architecture, gpu can assist the computer in many calculations that could not be performed before.

But gpu alone is not enough, gpu should be the core component of the graphics card, but so far, gpu has not been used on the graphics card, but only used to enhance computing functions. According to Catherine’s original vision, the computer’s graphics card must be replaceable just like the cpu and other components, so after the emergence of the GPU, the research on the graphics card is also necessary. After the advent of graphics cards, the current graphics cards may soon be eliminated.

"How about the graphics card application?"

The opening of the graphics card is necessary. Catherine does not plan to deploy a Pentium computer during the year, and the Pentium computer has not been finalized, so there is still time. If there are any changes at this time, there is still time to modify.

"We already have a test product, but there will always be various errors during the test, which is very unstable. It may take several months to solve this problem. If there is a problem in the direction of our thinking... It may take longer."

It seems that there will be no real graphics cards in the short term?

"Can you show me your test product?"

"Oh, this is it."

Roberts gave Catherine a square chip placed next to the table.

And Catherine looked at this chip, but her face became very exciting-how does this thing look like netbsp; this graphics card is not in the form of a cha card similar to a bus, but it is the same as a cpu, one side is smooth, On the other side are the pins...

"Why not use netbsp; Catherine asked strangely.

"Uh... we think that in this case, the transmission speed should be faster." Roberts explained.

At this time, Catherine really felt that she should have come here from time to time to see the product exhibition.

The graphics card now is completely different from what I had in mind.

"Is this really better than that?"

Catherine asked Roberts, and the other nodded affirmatively.

"What about the output interface?"

"We are integrated on the motherboard."

This is really strange.

She has never seen such a graphics card.

Isn't it... in the future, the interface format of the graphics card will change?

No longer what, what agp, but ket-754? ket-478 like this? (Bsp; Catherine feels a little confused.

"Well, if this is better..."

Catherine think so for the time being.

"By the way, what's the name of this graphics card?"

"Our code name...it's called graphics card for now."

Catherine was a little embarrassed.

"Isn't there a louder name?"

Roberts shrugged.

"Just call it!"

Catherine said so.

"A new version will be released in the future, that is, and then, this way."

Catherine's naming method is modeled after hdxxxx-but whether the world will set up another company is still a matter of question.

The meaning of thunder is "Xunlei".

Speaking of, the naming of Catherine's "Xunlei Lab", in a sense, is also based on the historical software of the same name, a download software also known as "blood-sucking thunder" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Catherine thinks this software The icon of is good-only after 7, the company changed the icon to a hummingbird, without the previous sci-fi atmosphere.

And Catherine’s Thunder graphics card uses the Thunder Lab’s, which is also the old Thunder download software in the 21st century.

This time it was Roberts' turn. Roberts directly applied the term "graphics card", while Catherine simply let them use the name "Xunlei" in the laboratory.

But thunder does sound good...

"Let's call it this. Thunder graphics card, this name sounds very cool."

Roberts responded.

...

I believe everyone knows Thunder 5... Well, it's this icon~ I really can't figure out why it should be changed to a hummingbird...

There is one more update, please ask for votes~
