MTL - Monster Factory-Chapter 1388 : Need Supercomputing Center

At 12 noon, the lord battleship arrived over the Longxitan factory.

Compared with the treacherous Anu District, Zhongyun City is only busy and peaceful here.

After landing, Dianjing said hello, and took two saber-toothed tigers into the underground laboratory at the bottom of the company building. It is now full of intelligent systems of the Watcher robot.

The saber-toothed tiger intelligent program, which was originally born out of the Watcher robot and the unmanned driver, in the battle yesterday, even if there were some logical problems, it still completed the task successfully and performed exceptionally well.

It can even actively identify the electronic chart in the command room, send a signal to the mother ship, and capture the other two submarines in one fell swoop.

The first time he played in the battle, he achieved such brilliant results, which made Dianjing extremely proud, but also gave birth to more ideas about intelligent systems.

For example~

Transplant the intelligent program to the watchman robot.

Destruction and production seem to represent two extreme ways of working.

In fact, in smart programs, the boundaries between them are as small as Huskies and Alaska.

It only needs a few commands from the master, and it can quickly transform from a state of destruction to production and construction.

In the evening, Ye Qing also ran up after handling the company's affairs.

The idea of ​​Dianjing also made Ye Qing quite interested. If the intelligent robot plan is successful, the problem of workers' positions in the Longxitan factory can be completely resolved.

The Longxitan plant is divided into an internal production area and an external logistics area.

Outsiders can only operate in the logistics area, and there is no shortage of manpower in the logistics area, and the logistics area has a high degree of automation, which can be called the most factory.

But the degree of automation is still inferior to the production area.

The links that can be solved by automation in the production area have been replaced by automation to the extreme. Even the transfer of all raw materials and semi-finished products does not require any monster worker to participate.

Monster workers do not need to pay wages, but when their numbers are spread across many product lines and sent to overseas factories, they become scarce.

Although monster workers on the product line are sufficient, orders for products tend to stabilize.

But what if you open a new product line?

In addition, Ye Qing also wanted to build the commander-type ship for the ninth stage as soon as possible.

With it, Ye Qing can go to space to summon the ultimate gift package belonging to the ninth stage-the Arbitration-class cruiser.

Arbitration class cruiser!

Just listening to the name is extremely domineering. It is the size of two aircraft carriers in its shape, not to mention that it can cruise in the boundless space.

The commander ship is a large-scale non-mass-produced complex technological product. To manufacture it requires a lot of monster workers to participate. If there are intelligent robots, the development and manufacturing progress will of course be greatly advanced.

When Ye Qing arrived at the laboratory by the special elevator, Dianjing had brought in a new type of Watcher robot, and its internal processing system had been dismantled to pieces.

Dianjing is so busy that he can't even move his toes. Yu Guangzhu saw Ye Qing's arrival and hurriedly greeted him: "Boss, you ask the engineer above to send the source code of the intelligent voice assistant in the virtual world. I am. It must be embedded in a smart program so that it has voice interaction capabilities."

"I know, I will find something for me as soon as I come." Ye Qing had to find a place to do it first, and use the holographic glasses office system to handle the request of the crystal.

If you want to modify or copy the core code related to the virtual world, you need first-level authorization from Ye Qing or Dianjing.

When Ye Qing sent it the code, Dianjing was too busy to say thank you, and only gave an OK gesture in the air.

The intelligent voice assistant in the virtual world has been trained in a massive vocabulary and can now accurately recognize user language commands and fuzzy instructions.

If you want the watchman robot to accurately recognize voice commands, you can directly add a large number of industry-related thesaurus to the vocabulary of the intelligent voice assistant, and then train it through massive instruction format.

The conversion of voice commands into machine instructions requires a total of six steps: audio collection, voice recognition, semantic analysis, command translation, command database matching, and database command execution.

If it is for an independent user, it will also simplify the command execution steps according to the user's regular habits, allowing the user to use more concise or vague language to stimulate the command.

Taking the saber-toothed tiger's smart program as the framework, Dianjing added the voice assistant code, and then used the massive vocabulary and material library of the Giant Animal Industry to "charge" the smart program.

As a result, this charge...

The original 100G program was transformed into a faster 1000G program.

Most of this 1000G is a material library.

The capacity is too large, and the chip of the Watcher robot can no longer handle smoothly.

As a last resort, Dianjing began to optimize the material library, integrating most of the material library on the cloud processor, and relying on the network to process these material libraries.

Ye Qing looked at the scalp-numbing programming language on the screen, and couldn't help but feel dizzy. "How long will it take?"

"Boss, it's easy to build up the framework of the smart program. You only need to make some changes to the saber-toothed tiger program."

With a keyboard tapping speed far exceeding that of humans, Dianjing said while typing: "Especially for visual recognition, the Sabretooth Tiger program has been perfect. In addition, in terms of autonomous decision-making and prediction, it can also execute the best plan based on existing data. ."

"But we are going to put it in the industrial scene now."

"The industrial scene is undoubtedly much more complicated than the ship and submarine environment. It needs to coordinate more complex mechanical equipment from different scenes to complete product processing and production."

"So its training time will be more complicated and longer than the previous time to destroy the ship."

While talking, Dianjing thought of something, paused typing with both hands, and thought: "Fortunately, we have Virtual Factory 5.0."

"We have already digitized the entire factory before, and even detailed a screw on the production line. Any production changes in the virtual factory can be synchronized with the real Longxitan factory."

"So we only need to throw the smart program into the virtual factory, and we can perfectly simulate all the problems it encounters in reality."

"But boss, the virtual factory is too big and too complicated. It takes five seconds to simulate a complete full assembly line production process. Judging from our current remaining computing power, it takes five seconds."

"According to the number of millions of simulations, it takes 57 days to complete the simulation."

"If it is a tens of millions of simulations, it will take nearly a year and a half."

"In other words, we don't have enough supercomputers?" Ye Qing certainly knows the importance of simulation training to smart programs. Tens of millions of simulations are not a luxury for a smart program.

But one and a half years is too long, which makes Ye Qing, who is also a tech fan, can't wait.

"It's not enough, it's that most of the supercomputing power is taken up by the virtual world. Without a virtual world, we can get it done in half a month."

Of course, the computing power of the virtual world can't be moved. This is the biggest gold-absorbing project of Behemoth Industry.

After thinking about it, Ye Qing decided to turn on the banknote ability.

"It's over rent."

"I asked the company to coordinate to see which of the eight national supercomputing centers can rent large-scale computing power the fastest."

Dianjing's thinking expression turned into a laugh.

It knows that China has eight national-level supercomputing centers. These supercomputing centers built by the nation's power, the computing power of each center is no less than that of the Behemoth Industrial Supercomputing Cluster.

Moreover, these supercomputing centers also accept applications for corporate projects, but the application procedures are expensive and troublesome. Most companies prefer to choose the next-level computing center.

"The boss rents a few more. It's best if the computing power of each supercomputer is over 50%. It is not too much to rent all of it." Dianjing is now full of supercomputers. "If you rent two, I will I can also give simulation training to several other similar industrial production environments in society."

"In this way, the simplified version of the intelligent robot can be used as a product to make money."

"By renting three supercomputers, I can visually recognize the training and expand it to all tools, so that the simplified version of the intelligent robot has a higher market."

"What about renting four?" Ye Qing sneered: "The large-scale computing power you are supercomputing is shared bicycles. If you want to rent a few, you can rent a few."

Dianjing only heard the first sentence, and automatically ignored the latter sentence, "If you rent four, you can also test your life scenes by the way."

"Maybe there can be a civilian version."

...

The next day.

At the company's high-level meeting, Ye Qing gave the task of negotiating the large-scale calculation and lease of the supercomputer center.

China has eight supercomputing centers in total. These centers are not only responsible for scientific research and computing tasks. When the task is not heavy, it will also rent out the excess computing power, so that major universities and R&D centers will also experience the joy of increasing computing power from a bicycle to a rocket.

Although the rental price of the supercomputer center is expensive, it also has the advantage of being expensive.

In addition to performance and professionalism, companies do not have to worry about the risk of leaks.

Of course~

Even in widely leased commercial supercomputer centers, the risk of data leakage is very low.

Users renting supercomputing are just borrowing the powerful computing power of supercomputing.

Those items that need to be calculated are transmitted from the user's computer to the supercomputing center through the network, and virtualization introduces the supercomputing platform. Then through the number of processors assigned to you by the management personnel, to complete large-scale cloud computing.

If the user provides the simulation software by himself, it is equivalent to just borrowing the huge hardware processor cluster of the supercomputing center. The supercomputing center does not know what you have calculated, unless you rent the supercomputing to mine, which causes the power of the hardware to be abnormal. .

And supercomputing is not suitable for mining. Mining requires large-scale high-performance graphics cards. Supercomputing has no advantages in this regard.

The programs that Dianjin wants to simulate are all encrypted by other layers, not to mention the risk of leakage.

The only one is that the computing power of the supercomputing center must be large.

In some colleges and universities, the rent is overpriced, and the stingy ones only rent a hundred or so processors, which takes less than half an hour.

If the giant monster industry wants to rent, it has to ask the supercomputing center to postpone those small and fragmented computing power tasks later. At the beginning, it must rent more than 50% of the computing power of the entire supercomputing center, and the calculation time is calculated in days.

Otherwise, Dianjing will have to package the program into dozens or hundreds of copies and distribute them to multiple supercomputing centers.

Not to mention the trouble, the final data is not easy to summarize.
