The black tech madman who saves the world

Chapter 84 Seahorse (Chapter 24)
In the discussion and communication with IBM on the second day, IBM and Intel respectively gave a solution that seemed to be very feasible.But these two proposals were still rejected by Chen Mengchuan.

The atmosphere at the scene reached a deadlock.

IBM's chairman, Ginny Rometty, began communicating with her team, and confirmed it shortly thereafter.

Ginny Rometty said to Chen Mengchuan and his group: "In the discussion and exchange yesterday and today, we have shown a lot of sincerity. We can see that you really came with sincerity. IBM and Intel is undoubtedly the most powerful supercomputing manufacturer and builder in the world. This is beyond doubt, but our next backup plan is quite special. When this plan was proposed, many of our engineers thought It is not considered an absurd and unrealistic plan."

"Now, our engineers think that this crazy plan may meet your expectations, but we hope you can listen to it." Ginny Rometty said sincerely.

Chen Mengchuan gave a slight signal to Toni.

"We are willing to hear about crazy ideas, often many crazy ideas are epoch-making genius ideas. Just like Henry Goebbels and Thomas Edison invented and improved the electric light." Toni pushed with a smile Glasses said.

After Toni finished speaking, an engineer from IBM stood up, connected to the projector, and opened a video.

At the beginning of the video, the name of the supercomputer's envisioned scheme - "Hippocampus" is marked

Then there are two scenes of the animal world first, and the voice of a young man.

"In the natural ocean, sea urchins are five-radial symmetrical marine organisms. They have such a perfect structure. The hollow spines forming an angle of 72° are natural pipelines. The nerves extend from the core to each spine in the pipeline. The sensing cells on the edge, each sea urchin can feel the world through the sensing cells at the end of each thorn in the body, such as water flow, light, temperature, water quality composition, etc. They are the most perfect creatures in the ocean world. "

"And there is a more artistic and perfect life on the land in the natural world, and that is the millipede millipede..."

The two 5-minute scenes of the animal world attracted everyone's attention.

"These two perfect creatures are the real core development skeleton of future supercomputers. Only by their perfect combination can a more powerful supercomputer be born. With an ultimate core, 256 huge sea urchin spines are pierced, and each sea urchin spine There are 768 supercomputing nodes like [Illacme plenipes Malu] in California."

"196608 supercomputing nodes, each node..." The man in the video slowly talked about his whimsical ideas.

After 30 minutes, the video ends.

Chen Mengchuan's heart was beating violently, his whole body was trembling, his excitement was indescribable.

A voice deep in my heart kept saying this: This is the most perfect container for the real Chen!
Toni and others noticed Chen Mengchuan's mood swings, and looked at him with concern.

A group from IBM, Intel, and Nvidia also saw Chen Mengchuan's excitement. In the previous introduction, Toni simply introduced him as a shareholder of the company, and he did not speak at all in the past two days.

"Mengchuan, are you okay?" Toni asked with concern.

"You need a glass of water, Mr. Chen." Intel CEO Bob Swan unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Chen Mengchuan.

"Thank you..." Chen Mengchuan took the water with trembling hands, and gulped it down in one gulp.

After drinking the water, Chen Mengchuan hiccupped, looked at everyone, and said, "Project Haima is the perfect plan in my heart, I want to see this person."

Toni pushed his glasses with a smile, and said to the crowd: "Mr. Chen is the largest shareholder of Tianzhi Technology Company, and also the founder of Tianzhi's infinite current transmission technology!"

After he finished speaking, people from IBM, Intel, and Nvidia became agitated.They all undoubtedly knew that Huaxia, a company with wireless transmission technology, would grow into a terrifying behemoth in the future, but they never thought that the owner of this behemoth was the seemingly inconspicuous Huaxia man in front of them.

Just as a group of people were talking noisyly, an engineer contacted the designer of the plan.Without anyone noticing, Gu Xiaoxiao's face was in a daze and bewilderment.

Not long after, a man with a Chinese face appeared at the door.

An engineer from IBM introduced to everyone: "This is the designer of the hippocampus, Kevin Zhou."

The man looked around the crowd with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Xiaoxiao, and he said slowly, "Xiaoxiao, long time no see..."

Chen Mengchuan and the others were taken aback for a moment, they were all so surprised.

"My name is Zhou Kai, and my English name is Kevin. I am very glad to meet you, and glad that you have recognized 'Haima'." Zhou Kai bowed to the crowd.

Then the IBM engineer said a few words to Zhou Kai.Then Zhou Kai officially began to seriously introduce the Seahorse Project.

In his vision, "Hippocampus" will have 196608 computing nodes, which are distributed among 256 core connecting pillars, and each connecting pillar will have 768 computing nodes.

Each node is a host, and each node uses a CPU+GPU heterogeneous computing system similar to Titan, consisting of two POWER11 CPUs and 12 Tesla V200 computing accelerator cards; the connection between the CPU and the GPU uses NVIDIA The latest NVLink bus, each node's CPU and GPU share a total of 1024GiB of consistent memory
The CPU and GPU can directly access this memory space to share data. In addition, it will also be equipped with a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) with a capacity of 2400GB as a burst cache or to expand memory capacity.

The connection between each node adopts multi-channel InfiniBand for three-dimensional cross-linking, and the bandwidth of each channel is 400Gb/s.The distributed storage system with a capacity of 500PB also uses InfiniBand to closely connect with computing nodes.Use a liquid cooling system for cooling.

The theoretical operation of Haima will reach 8000 PFLOPS, that is, the floating-point operation speed is 800 billion trillion times per second!This calculation speed will reach more than 64 times that of China's current fastest Suxi supercomputer!
Following the progress of the introduction, Zhou Kai's emotions were also a little bit excited to the limit, and finally his whole body trembled.

Whether it is Toni and the people, or the people from IBM and Intel, everyone is shocked by his crazy idea.

Zhou Kai's gaze passed over everyone, and finally landed on Gu Xiaoxiao, with many sparkles in his eyes.

Chen Mengchuan looked at the man who was a few years older than him in front of him, stood up and extended his hand to him.

"I'm Chen Mengchuan, in the future, please give me your advice..."
