Marvel's Return of the Inventor

The fastest supercomputer currently on the global supercomputing rankings is the "Tianhe-2750" developed by the China University of Defense Technology, with a peak floating-point operation rate of trillion times per second.

For comparison, the average home computer is about 10 to 20 billion times per second.

It is not difficult to see that the computing speed of Tianhe-200 is about million times that of ordinary computers.

The supercomputer that the new team wants to build this time does not need to sprint the record of Tianhe-1, and the manpower, material resources and time do not allow it.

They only need to build a supercomputer with about 300 trillion floating-point operations per second, and then integrate it with the brain-like architecture system to simulate quantum computers to solve the current urgent need.

There is still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the new team has the full support of Huaxia Electronic Technology Group. Even if Ding Sheng does not participate, the new team can complete the task within this time.

After all, for now, the two most important parts of this task, the "system" and the "supercomputer", are already available. The supercomputer's processor is slightly modified based on the Intel processor and a graphics processor. It is basically ready-made, and the whole task is really not difficult at all.

Ding Sheng was too happy to join in.

Building a quantum computer by yourself is much more arduous than other people's work.

The first is the quantum computer processor, or quantum chip, which is not readily available on earth. Ding Sheng must make it by himself.

If it weren't for the equipment support provided by the state, Ding Sheng would have to pay at least thirty times the time cost to get the same result.

The best material for making quantum chips is of course nanocrystals, but this thing needs to be tinkered with by Ding Sheng in the future. It is not available on the earth now, so the materials readily available in the Forty-Four Institute can only be used.

That is the “silicon” that everyone loves to hear about.

There was no other way. Ding Sheng could only use some special black technology from Marvel to refine it and then use it. When the industrial level of space-time technology reaches the next level, he would immediately replace it with nanocrystals.

If silicon is used, the manufacturing method of the original quantum chip will also need to be significantly changed.

Going around and around, Ding Sheng could never get around the word "cottage" in his life.

"Guan Ju, calculate which of the five solutions, including atomic and optical cavity interaction, cold trap bound ions, electron or nuclear spin resonance, quantum dot manipulation, and superconducting quantum interference, is most suitable for silicon atom qubits."

"If you have to choose one, let's use quantum dot manipulation."

To be honest, none of these options were very suitable, so Guan Ju thought about it for a long time.

Once the plan is finalized, construction will begin immediately.

After getting familiar with the many equipment needed in the laboratory, Ding Sheng spent a whole day creating the first quantum chip.

If he just wanted to build a single-core quantum computer, he would be more than half done by now.

See, he just said that building a quantum computer is not difficult at all.

However, don’t underestimate the quantum chip, it is not simple at all.

Quantum computers can operate based on qubits. Compared with the bits of traditional digital computers, the advantages can be said to be overwhelming.

In order to save trouble, he made the interface of the quantum chip into the mainstream pinout in the world. Although some performance was sacrificed, it made it easier to customize the motherboard.

Seeing no one around, Ding Sheng took out the 5230 and cloned a speed measurement port in the laboratory.

"Guan Ju, prepare to test the speed."

"...The current speed has reached its peak, and the peak floating point operation per second is 3011.25 trillion times." Guan Ju reported the acquired data in Ding Sheng's brain at any time.

"so slow"

Ding Sheng is not satisfied with owning a Tianhe-1.

Ding Sheng knew that changing raw materials, manufacturing plans, and interfaces would have an impact on the processing speed of the quantum chip, but he really didn't expect the impact to be so big.

Although the speed of Tianhe-1 is already the fastest in the world, to Ding Sheng, it is actually no different from a snail.

No, far less than a snail.

Let’s put it this way, among the Marvel black technologies he currently possesses, the most difficult one is the “Pym Particles”. Among them, the most important aspect is the reduction of atomic spacing. If Tianhe-1 is used to run one of the data , it will probably take about thirty years.

You said, Ding Sheng can't afford to wait.

As long as there are a few nanocrystals, this speed should increase geometrically.

So it is understandable that Ding Sheng has difficulty accepting it.

Fortunately, Tianhe-6000 uses more than 5000 Intel processors and more than A graphics processors to achieve the current results.

In order to make the quantum computer faster, Ding Sheng will naturally not use a single core.

Thanks to the privilege of the new team members being able to freely use the laboratory 24 hours a day, Ding Sheng also has the blessing of a super soldier physique. He does not sleep all day long and spends most of his time in the laboratory. After practice makes perfect, he suddenly became perfect in ten days. Within a few days, 100 quantum chips were produced.

It is the level of one hundred Tianhe-1s.

So is this data an exaggeration?

No.

It is said that Yamato will soon launch a supercomputer with a computing speed of more than 8000 trillion operations per second, which will significantly refresh the record of Tianhe- and become the king of the new generation of supercomputers.

According to Guan Ju's calculations, a supercomputer that is 2018 times faster than Tianhe- will be built on Earth by at the latest.

Looking at it this way, after the quantum computer in Ding Sheng's hand was built, it was only 7 years ahead of the world, which is indeed not very fast.

Again, when we make the nanocrystal version of quantum chips in the future, and then mass-produce 35,780,000 of them to build a super large quantum computer, it will feel like flying.

Exciting to think about.

After the quantum chip was completed, Ding Sheng began to make another core configuration of the quantum computer, the quantum memory.

This is much simpler than the quantum chip and does not take much time.

All in all, Ding Sheng relied on the long journey and successfully completed the mission plan for the 44th Institute within the estimated time.

The team mission was progressing in an orderly manner, and Ding Sheng didn't need any help. He took advantage of this time to give himself a winter vacation.

"Guan Ju, how is the customization of host configuration and peripherals?"

In addition to the core of the quantum computer that Ding Sheng built this time, except for the processor and supporting storage, the other parts are prepared to be clever and wear the shell of a supercomputer.

After deciding to use mainstream interfaces, he asked Guan Ju to customize the most sophisticated host suite in the world.

"We can arrive in the neighboring state tomorrow."

"What are the equipment and materials needed to make a holographic device?"

"Already arrived in a neighboring state."

There are less than ten days left before the Chinese New Year. The next thing Ding Sheng needs to do is to return to the new base, set up a quantum computer in the laboratory, and create a holographic imaging device.

In addition, it is already the end of the year, and all the mechanical equipment at Fengshi Mold Factory has been completed.

From then on, this place was 70% similar to the Stark Laboratory shown in the Iron Man movie.

Ding Sheng finally had a laboratory where he could flex his muscles.
