From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 38

Cafe near Zhonghu University!

"Hello, Academician Guan!" Ye Fei shook hands with the middle-aged man in front of him and sat down.

Academician Guan is called Guan Fei, and he is the person in charge of the National Supercomputing Dune Center.

Next, Ye Fei will cooperate with the supercomputing center to develop supercomputing algorithms, so before that, Ye Fei will meet with the person in charge of the supercomputing center.

So, we made an appointment to meet at a cafe near the university.

Academician Guan looked about 60 years old and looked very elegant.

Tall and thin, wearing a pair of glasses.

Ye Fei glanced at his thick hair and shook his head inwardly.

Those programmers have less hair, which has little to do with work, but only with genes.

Looking at academician Guan, he has become an academician of computer science, and his hair is still very thick.

"Ye Fei, I have been famous for you for a long time." Academician Guan said with a smile: "Especially in recent months, I have heard many people in the industry talk about you, and my ears are numb."

"Have you been famous for a long time?" Ye Fei was puzzled, he had just become famous not long ago!

"A year ago, I heard your mentor mention you."

"My tutor, Professor Lu Yishan?" Ye Fei asked.

"It's him!" Academician Guan nodded: "At that time, he said that he had accepted a smart student, but he didn't expect that a year later, his student was better than blue."

"Academician Guan, you're flattering yourself," Ye Fei said.

"I read the paper you posted on Arxiv a few days ago. The quality is very high. There is an article called programming optimization of mathematical algorithms in computers. Is it the content of mathematical algorithms?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "Specifically, it is only one of the two important nodes in the mathematical algorithm."

"Can you tell me a little bit?"

"In mathematical algorithms, there are two most important places, namely computer structure design and mathematical model design."

"In my thesis I wrote about mathematical model design."

"If anyone can develop a computer structure design and combine it with my mathematical model design, a mathematical algorithm can be developed."

"Huh?" Academician Guan raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid that someone will develop a mathematical algorithm?"

"Don't be afraid!" Ye Fei shook his head: "Even if I don't do this, mathematical algorithms will be researched by many people in the future."

"Moreover, this is just an algorithm I developed casually, and I named it Mathematical Algorithm 1.0."

"As I study and research mathematics in the future, I can develop better and more advanced algorithms."

"Even now, with a little more effort and time, I can develop algorithms that are better than mathematical algorithms."

"So, why am I afraid that someone will develop a mathematical algorithm?"

Professor Guan was speechless, it was better than pretending.

But if what Ye Fei said is true, then he is really not afraid of someone developing a mathematical algorithm.

After all, if someone develops a mathematical algorithm 1.0, Ye Fei will develop a more advanced mathematical algorithm later.

Well, Mathematical Algorithm 1.0 is useless.

The market is like this. When better products appear, products that were previously thought to be useful will be quickly abandoned.

This is like a touch-screen phone and a smart phone. I used to think that the touch-screen phone was very useful, but soon after the smart phone appeared, the touch-screen phone was abandoned and started to use the smart phone.

Academician Guan said: "We are working in Base 111, and there are more than 300 scientific researchers. Besides me, there are one academician, five second-level professors, fifteen third-level professors, fifty fourth-level professors and 300 Multiple Ph.D.

The National Supercomputing Dune Center has 11 bases, each of which is in charge of an important part of the supercomputing center, and base 111 is the algorithm base.

"All of them are scholars who graduated from well-known universities at home and abroad."

"Including the world-renowned universities you know, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford."

Ye Fei clicked his tongue, this lineup is too luxurious, it deserves to be one of the eight supercomputing centers in Xia Kingdom.

University teachers are divided into thirteen grades, grades one to four are full professors, grades five to seven are associate professors, grades eight to ten are lecturers, and grades eleven to thirteen are teaching assistants.

All academicians are first-level professors, but not all first-level professors are academicians.

Ordinary people, if they are a third-level professor, they have done it well, and they may not be able to be promoted to a second-level professor in their entire life.

Likewise, most second-level professors cannot be promoted to first-level professors.

99.9% of first-level professors cannot be promoted to academicians.

Because since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are only 1697 academicians in total, so one can imagine how difficult it is to become an academician.

"[-] million scientific research funds!"

"7.2 million?" Ye Fei said in astonishment: "Academician Guan, I remember that it only cost [-] million to build the supercomputing center. Now it costs [-] million to create just one supercomputing algorithm?"

Academician Guan shook his head and said, "You can't do this calculation. The Supercomputing Center was built in 2010, 13 years ago. Compared with then, the price of goods has increased by more than three times."

"Look at the supercomputing center that Lucheng started to build two years ago. The total investment is more than 20 billion."

"So three hundred million is not much."

"Oh!" Ye Fei nodded half understanding.

"It has a lot to do with you."

"With me?" Ye Fei was surprised.

"Yes!" Academician Guan nodded and said, "I heard that the higher-ups are cooperating with you to create a supercomputing algorithm, and the support is very strong."

"It also said that if the funds are not enough, you can continue to apply."

Academician Guan is also very puzzled, does Ye Fei have any background?The support above is so strong.

"Enough." Ye Fei said.

If [-] million can't create a supercomputing algorithm, he can find a piece of tofu and kill him.

And, he decided in his heart.

Since there is so much money, we must develop the most perfect supercomputing algorithm.

"These people and money are all centered on you."

Ye Feiting's heart was heavy, with a strong sense of responsibility.

"When the time comes, you will be in charge of technology, and I will be in charge of management."

"Everyone assists you technically, including me."

"But in terms of management, you have to listen to me."

"is that OK!"

"No problem." Ye Fei said.

After that, Academician Guan talked about some things about the Supercomputing Center.

"What?" Ye Fei was shocked: "The servers in the Supercomputing Center are still rented out?"

In Ye Fei's mind, the National Supercomputing Center belongs to the country and is a state-owned enterprise.

What you are doing is scientific research, and you should not rent out the server.

"The supercomputing center just rents out the inexhaustible server power to make a little money." Professor Guan said: "Now any state-owned enterprise can't just spend money and not make money."

"It is necessary to spend money and make money at the same time. It is the most basic to achieve a balance of payments. It is best to have more income than expenditure."

"The National Supercomputing Center has calculated that most of the funds will be provided by the state, and a small part of the funds can be collected from the society."

"So, we rent the remaining server power to the society to make money."

"All supercomputing centers around the world do this."

"Aren't you afraid that outsiders will invade the database and steal scientific research technology?" Ye Fei asked.

"That's impossible!" Professor Guan shook his head.

"We don't accept all projects, like some projects that need to connect to the Internet, we will accept some projects such as animation design."

"For example, the Bears Infested anime a few years ago, we will accept it."

"Also, all operations are under the supervision of our people."

"Also, we divide the server into many parts, the civilian server is rented out, and the scientific research server is used for scientific research."

"There is no direct connection between them. If you want to go from a civilian server to a scientific research server, you have to go through many checkpoints."

"In this situation, how can it be possible to steal scientific research technology."

Ye Fei nodded, so that's the case, it is indeed impossible to steal scientific research technology.

After chatting for a while, the two parted ways, and Ye Fei would start working at the National Supercomputing Center tomorrow.

ps: It is true that the servers of the National Supercomputing Center are rented out. The servers of the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou are rented out. This can be found on the official website.
