From university academician to chief academician

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's name is Guan Fei, and he is the head 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 looks to be about sixty years old and looks very elegant.

He is tall and thin and wears glasses.

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

Those programmers have less hair, and it has nothing to do with their work, but only with their genes.

Looking at Academician Guan, he has become an academician in computer science, but 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 the past few months, I have heard many people in the industry talking about you, and my ears have become calloused."

"Has it been famous for a long time?" Ye Fei wondered, he must have just become famous!

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

"My mentor, 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 one year later, his student was better than his predecessor."

"Academician Guan, you are so grateful." Ye Feidao.

"I read the paper you posted on Arxiv a few days ago. The quality is very high. There is an article in it called Programming Optimization of Mathematical Algorithms in Computers. Is it the content of mathematical algorithms?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "To be specific, it is just one of the two important nodes in the mathematical algorithm."

"Can you tell me briefly?"

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

“What I wrote in the paper was mathematical model design.”

"If someone can develop a computer structure design and combine it with my mathematical model design, they can develop a mathematical algorithm."

"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, many people will study mathematical algorithms in the future."

"And this is just an algorithm I developed randomly. I named it Mathematical Algorithm 1.0."

"As I study and research mathematics in the future, I will be able to develop better and more advanced algorithms."

"Even now, if I spend more energy and time, I can develop better algorithms than mathematical algorithms."

"So why should I be afraid of someone coming up with a mathematical algorithm?"

Professor Guan was speechless, this was better than pretending.

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

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

Then, Math Algorithm 1.0 is useless.

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

This is like touch screen phones and smart phones. I used to think that touch screen phones were very useful, but soon after smart phones appeared, touch screen phones were abandoned and smart phones started to be used.

Academician Guan said: "We work at Base 111, with more than 300 scientific researchers. In addition to me, there are one academician, five second-level professors, fifteen third-level professors, fifty fourth-level professors and More than three hundred Ph.D.

The National Supercomputing Dune Center has 11 bases, each of which controls an important part of the supercomputing center. 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 was so luxurious. It was worthy of being one of the eight supercomputing centers in Xia Kingdom.

University teachers are divided into thirteen levels, with levels 1 to 4 being full professors, levels 5 to 7 being associate professors, levels 8 to 10 being lecturers, and levels 11 to 13 being teaching assistants.

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

For most people, becoming a third-level professor is the end of the road, and they may never be promoted to a second-level professor in their lifetime.

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

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

Since there have been only 1,697 academicians since the founding of the People's Republic of China, one can imagine how difficult it is to become an academician.

"300 million scientific research funds!"

"Three hundred million?" Ye Fei said in shock: "Academician Guan, I remember that it only cost 720 million when building the supercomputing center. Now it costs 300 million just to create a supercomputing mathematical algorithm?"

Academician Guan shook his head and said: "You can't calculate like this. The supercomputing center was built in 2010, thirteen years ago. Prices now have more than tripled compared to then."

"Look at the supercomputing center started in Lucheng two years ago. The total investment is more than 2 billion."

"So three hundred million is not much."

"Oh!" Ye Fei nodded in understanding.

"This has a lot to do with you."

"With me?" Ye Fei was surprised.

"Yes!" Academician Guan nodded and said, "I heard that we are cooperating with you to create supercomputing algorithms, and we have great support."

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

Academician Guan is also very confused. Does Ye Fei have any background? The support from above is so strong.

"That's enough." Ye Feidao.

If you can't create a supercomputing algorithm with 300 million, you can find a piece of tofu and kill yourself.

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 Fei's heart felt heavy when he heard this, with a strong sense of responsibility.

"When the time comes, you will take care of technology and I will take care of management."

"Technically everyone assists you, including me."

"But when it comes to management, you have to listen to me."

"is that OK!"

"No problem." Ye Feidao.

Afterwards, Academician Guan talked about some things about the supercomputing center.

"What?" Ye Fei was shocked: "The servers in the supercomputing center are still being rented out?"

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

What we are doing is scientific research, and we should not rent out servers to outsiders.

"The supercomputing center just rents out the unused server functions to make some money." Professor Guan said: "Now any state-owned enterprise cannot just spend money without making money."

"We have to spend money and make money at the same time. The most basic thing is to balance the income and expenditure. It is best that the income is higher than the 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 functions to the society to make money."

"All supercomputing centers around the world do this."

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

"This is impossible!" Professor Guan shook his head.

"We don't accept all projects. We won't accept projects that require external connections to the Internet. We will accept projects such as animation design."

"For example, we picked up the Bears anime from the past few years."

"And, all operations are under surveillance by our people."

"Furthermore, we divide the server into many parts. The servers we rent out are civilian servers and the servers we use for scientific research are scientific research servers."

"There is no direct connection between them. If you want to enter the scientific research server from the civilian server, you have to pass many levels."

"How can it be possible to steal scientific research technology under such circumstances?"

Ye Fei nodded, that's it, scientific research technology cannot be stolen in this way.

After chatting for a while, the two separated. Ye Fei will 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.
