I have a little black hole

"Neither can it be taken lightly. Although they haven't made a big move, it doesn't mean that their technology is really bad. As far as I know, at least more than 7 countries have not given up their research work in this area. The investment in the research field is no less than that of our company.

Therefore, you can't slack off your laboratory. The company's technical advantages are not easy to come by. If you want to bring higher profits to the company in the long term, you can't lose this technical advantage!

Even if our company urgently hopes to use a supercomputer with better performance, other countries and companies will certainly need it. Even if it is not urgently needed now, it will definitely be needed in the future, otherwise they will not be able to For research and development.Lei Tiantang reminded with a smile.

"Know the boss, if the company has such good research conditions, if we let others surpass it, then we will have no face to see people!" Liu Lishuang said confidently.

"OK! I hope you can get a breakthrough as soon as possible! Let's see it here on the chip laboratory side, let's go to the future laboratory above!" Lei Tiantang nodded with a smile.

One nanometer is equivalent to four times the size of atoms, which is much smaller than the length of a single bacterium. It is indeed a very difficult thing to build a chip at this scale, so Lei Tiantang does not intend to urge them.

Although both he and the company have a higher pursuit of chip performance, the performance of the company's own 3 nanometer technology chip has been temporarily sufficient.

Moreover, he did not put Baodu in this conventional sense of chip technology breakthroughs to improve the computing power, which is what he will go to inspect next.

Accompanied by Liu Lishuang, Lei Tiantang came to the Photonic Computer Laboratory on the 6th floor. Here and on the 7th floor above are the photonic computer laboratories, and the 8th and 9th floors above are the Quantum Computer Laboratory. There are also molecular computer labs, DNA computer labs, etc.

These computer laboratories together form the future laboratory of the next-generation computer research and development of the infinite gravity group. Any breakthrough in these laboratories may change the future of humanity.

Therefore, although all of them are now in a net investment state, and the total investment of these laboratories has exceeded US$20 billion per year in the past two years, neither Lei Tiantang nor the company’s management has interrupted such investment. .

"Let's talk about the progress of the research and development here. I haven't paid attention to this for a while!" Lei Tiantang said with a smile after looking around.

"At present, we are still solving more difficult problems encountered in the research process. The light-guiding light-emitting device has made some breakthroughs, allowing our second-generation photonic computer to run from 5 billion times per second. Successfully increased to 50 billion times per second.

Not only has the computing performance increased by 10 times, the volume of the second-generation photonic computer has also been reduced by half, and the stability has also been greatly improved, and the requirements for the environment have also been reduced."

Liu Lishuang let the origin project a comparison chart of the first-generation photonic computer and the second-generation photonic computer, showing the progress of the laboratory research while introducing.

"It's okay. It's not bad to reduce the size of the three-bedroom and two-bedroom to the two-bedroom and one-bedroom of a small apartment, but this size is still too large, and the speed of the operation is also very touching, but it is a good jump from the home computer level. It's workstation level!" Lei Tiantang waved his hand and fiddled with the projection of the second-generation photonic computer.

It's no wonder that he will vomit, the calculation speed of 50 billion times per second seems to be a big number, but an ordinary workstation may have this calculation speed.

What's more, even the volume of this second-generation photonic computer has been reduced by half, but the entire computer covers an area of ​​more than 60 square meters. Obviously no one would want to use this block-sized workstation-level computer.

"There is no way. We need to put in huge efforts every step forward, because although this kind of computer research is done at home and abroad, the progress is not as good as ours.

Therefore, we have no experience to learn from the current research, we can only find our own way forward, we need to solve any problems we encounter, and almost all of the problems encountered are very difficult to solve. It is not easy to solve these problems. thing."Liu Shuang said bitterly.

He also knows that his boss is not criticizing them, but he still can’t help but want to explain that the research and development of this cutting-edge technology has never been easy!

Photonic computer is a new type of computer that performs digital operations, logical operations, information storage and processing by optical signals.It is composed of lasers, optical mirrors, lenses, filters and other optical components and equipment. It depends on the laser beam to enter the array of mirrors and lenses for information processing, replacing electrons with photons, and optical operations instead of electrical operations.

The parallelism and high speed of light naturally determine the parallel processing capability of the photonic computer is very strong, with ultra-high computing speed.Photonic computers also have fault tolerance similar to the human brain. When a component in the system is damaged or erroneous, it does not affect the final calculation result.

The information distortion and distortion caused by the photon transmission in the optical medium are extremely small, the energy consumption and heat dissipation during light transmission and conversion are extremely low, and the requirements for environmental conditions are much lower than that of the electronic computer.

It is these advantages that make the world look forward to this future computer, and many countries and companies with strong technology have carried out research work on this computer.

Although as early as the early 1990s, a laboratory in Laomei made the world's first photonic computer, which uses gallium arsenide optical switches, with an operation speed of 1 billion times per second, but in the past so many years, photons in the true sense Computers haven't come out yet.

From this point of view, the difficulty of research and development of this computer can be seen. It seems that the photonic computer is simpler than the quantum computer and other future computers above, but this does not mean that the research process is really simple, otherwise It hasn't been a qualitative breakthrough in the past 40 years!

"I know, but it also proves that our company has truly been at the forefront of scientific research in the world. This is still something we are proud of. I know all of your efforts!

But to be honest, when it comes to this class, sometimes the effort is important, but the idea is more important. As long as the geniuses that our company is targeting have no anti-human character and no moral bottom line, they will recruit me!"
