Vol 2 Chapter 445: Mowu 1

Chapter 445 Mo Wu No.1

"Boss, how about it. This is our company's first supercomputer. I named it'Mowu One'." Bruce Allen looked at the rows of cabinets as if looking at his own child. Happiness and contentment.

Lin Feng was slightly speechless. Although I knew the size of the supercomputer was appalling, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I was still terribly frightened. "Mowu No. 1" is composed of 78 cabinets. Each cabinet covers an area of ​​1.44 square meters, is two meters high, and weighs 1.5 tons. The total weight of the system is equivalent to 13 Shenzhou spacecraft. Taking ventilation and other conditions into consideration, place it. "Mowu One" needs a room of nearly 1,000 square meters.

In order to install this "Mowu No. 1", Lin Feng had to temporarily rent a large warehouse near the "Second World" headquarters, so as not to overwhelm the building due to the weight of the "Mowu No. 1". However, this also reminded Lin Feng. When Tom Wright, chief engineer of the "Second World" Infrastructure Department, was taking the time to cast the reinforced concrete of the "Second World" headquarters, Lin Feng asked him to pay attention to the future "Second World" super For the placement of computers, don’t be able to place supercomputers because the headquarters building does not have enough weight. That would be a real joke.

After Tom Wright carefully calculated the total amount of "Mowu No. 1" and asked Wu Zhaopu to assess the number of supercomputers that the "Second World" might have in the future, he forcibly revised the drawings and changed the future "Second World" headquarters. The load-bearing capacity of the building has increased by a full three times. However, due to restrictions such as the already laid foundations, the height of the "Second World" headquarters building will drop slightly. I am afraid that after completion, it may not exceed the 508 designed for the Taiwan "101" building. Meter.

Lin Feng didn't care too much about this. The so-called world’s number one skyscraper is just a gimmick, as long as it can become a symbolic building in Shanghai, it does not have to be the number one skyscraper in the world.

"Boss, the only regret is that the current operating system software is a supercomputer system software that I programmed myself. It has a single function and can only be used as a game server for the time being, and it cannot fully utilize its performance." Bruce Allen regretted. .

There is no other way. "Mowu No. 1" has 6720 Pentium 4 processors with "Hyper-Threading" technology and 10320 ATI image processing units. I want to design a system that can give full play to its full performance. Software, the program line alone requires more than 500,000 codes. According to the standard rate of writing 20 lines of code per programmer per hour, one person needs to write 25,000 hours, and 100 programmers need 250 hours. And this is not the time for midway revisions, discussions, final review, testing, etc. Therefore, Bruce Allen can only temporarily use a simple supercomputer operating system he designed before. Although it has not been able to fully utilize its performance, it can only be so at present.

Lin Feng frowned, this was a problem. My company’s supercomputer is not the only one. If it is like this, it’s not good. This is too wasteful!

"Boss, don't worry, I have already lurked into the computer of a manager of the production and development department of ibm, and have obtained some peripheral data of the supercomputer "Zou Magie" developed by ibm. Although the core data is not yet available, I believe that sooner Can steal data from it without revealing a trace." Kevin-Mitnick said confidently.

"Yes, when we dig out a few senior programmers from Microsoft, we can develop what we call a supercomputer operating system." Bruce Allen said with a fist.

"Cooperating with our'cloud computing' to interconnect the company's supercomputers, I believe that our company will have the world's best supercomputer network terminal." Cohen said yearning.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded. With these three people, the company's technical strength will not be weak, especially the existence of Kevin Mitnick. As long as he is no longer as pretentious and careless as before, Lin Feng believes that there is nothing in this world. A cybersecurity expert can catch him. Previously caught by Japanese Internet expert Shimomura, it was Kevin Mitnick who was too arrogant and deliberately lured Shimomura to catch him, playing a "cat play mouse" trick. Unexpectedly, with the cooperation of fbi, he became a single force. The thin Kevin Mitnick was eventually captured. Now with his own company as the back office, Kevin Mitnick will be able to truly fly online.

"By the way, how much does this'Mowu 1'cost?" Lin Feng asked.

"A total of 9.2 million dollars before and after." Bruce Allen said.

Lin Feng was taken aback. He did not expect the configuration to be close to 20% higher than before, but the price was 800,000 US dollars less than the budget.

"Hehe, boss, don’t you know, if you walk into ibm or Dell, intel and other companies, tell them that you have a budget of 10 million US dollars, how much processor they can sell you, you will find Shop around for the truth." Bruce Allen said with a smile.

auzw.com Lin Feng nodded.

"Bruce, you assemble three more supercomputers. I'm afraid this time the swordsman love loyalty and loyalty will need multiple supercomputers to make the player's computer run smoothly." Lin Feng ordered after thinking about it.

"No problem, boss." Bruce Allen nodded.

Then Bruce Allen held a press conference to announce the birth of the first supercomputer in the "Second World". The computing speed of 12 trillion operations and the price of US$9.2 million shocked all reporters, especially those competitors who had previously accused the “Second World” of setting smoke bombs. They were shocked to speak at the news.

But for all players, it is a matter of great opinion. The more powerful the supercomputer of the "Second World" is, the player will be able to enjoy a smoother operating environment.

Netizen "haosad" said-this is really exciting, "Second World" can have its own supercomputer, which is the pride of all Chinese people and the happiness of all players.

......

When netizens all over the country discussed what kind of speed the "Second World" supercomputer would bring, Takashi Nishiyama returned with good news.

"Boss, at the end of the first season of the King of Fighters online league mainland, we have decided on masters of all levels, and have given all players the Medal of Honor and bonuses for the top ten players on the major lists, sky list, land list, and people list. 29 players were also decided to represent mainland China to participate in the first King of Fighters online Champions League." Takashi Nishiyama said with a bright face.

After the launch of the King of Fighters online league system and the Asian Champions League, player interest has been unprecedentedly high. The fixed 200 games per month have been broken by players early. On average, each player has participated in 275 games in April, and The limited number of registered players also exceeded 4.5 million. Of course, there are also happiness worries. The increased number of players has surpassed the total number of players that can be supported by the previously established sky, ground, and human lists. Takashi Nishiyama’s temporary commode has 26 levels in the human list, and each level is expanded. 5000 people, it can be regarded as stuffing these people in. Although this makes the player's promotion and relegation more intense to a certain extent, it undoubtedly makes the game more fun.

"Well, by the way, how many countries in Asia and Southeast Asia can launch our King of Fighters online league?" Lin Feng is most concerned about this.

"Haha, boss, in addition to mainland China, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, a total of 2 regions and 5 countries can launch our King of Fighters online league." Takashi Nishiyama introduced excitedly.

"Well, boss, we have established branches in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan for our'Second World', but I did not build branches in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong," said Wu Zhaopu.

Lin Feng was taken aback, but he knew that Wu Zhaopu must have his own ideas so he waited for the following.

"Hong Kong and Singapore and other three countries, although the King of Fighters series is very popular, but the overall population and market are too small, so it is not cost-effective to establish a branch there. Especially Thailand’s political situation has always been unstable. I am afraid that when the political situation is turbulent, the company’s The core secrets will be stolen by those who are interested." Wu Zhaopu explained.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Therefore, for more than a month, I have only set up a simple and small company in four regions to transfer data midway, mainly relying on servers in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and headquarters for data processing. Previously, Japan and Japan were doing data processing. During the qualifying test for players in South Korea and other countries, it was also proved that servers in the four regions can handle the data traffic processing of players in all countries in Asia and Southeast Asia. Although it was a bit stuck at the peak of the launch, I believe that with the introduction of supercomputers, The assistance of "cloud computing" and the additional burden of data traffic in Singapore and other countries will not have any impact on the company." Wu Zhaopu said confidently.

Lin Feng praised. Although the "Second World" seems to be making money fast, it looks like it is printing money, but it also has a lot of money. The legendary movie city, the "Second World" headquarters building, supercomputers, game development, etc., almost emptied the "Second World", minus the currently approved budgets, the remaining flow of the "Second World" account The capital is only about 100 million US dollars. Although 100 million US dollars of liquidity is sufficient for most game companies, it is too small for the "Second World". Wu Zhaopu was able to save the company everywhere in this way, and Lin Feng had to sigh that he had dug people from Shanda right.
