In the 2014 world supercomputer rankings, Tianhe of the Tianjin National Supercomputer Center in China ranked first for the fourth time with a measured computing speed of 2.57 PFlops.
It performs calculations at a speed of over 33 trillion times per second.
Another supercomputer from China called Shen Teng came in second with a measured computing speed of 20.5PFlops.
The US Jaguar ranked third with a measured computing speed of 1.75 petaflops per second, as measured by the Linpack test.
In the 2014 supercomputer rankings, the United States still occupied 230 places, while China made great strides forward and won 77 places.
Among these supercomputers, Intel still occupies the majority of the shares, up to more than 350 shares, and IBM's Blue Gene also occupies more than 50 shares. They ranked third, fifth, eighth and ninth among the top ten supercomputers.
In addition to these two traditional processors, 70 out of the 77 top 500 Chinese companies use Huaguang processors, and the top two on the list, Tianhe and Shenteng, both use Huaguang processors.
In addition to these three processors, some other miscellaneous processors occupy the remaining twenty places.
The supercomputer Shenteng was originally a project led by Mi Guangnan, and was transferred to Huawei around 2010.
Since Huawei no longer makes mobile phones in this life, it would be a good choice to make supercomputers when it has nothing to do. Wan Feng decided to transfer the project to Huawei.
Warwick is involved in communications, and is connected to supercomputing itself, so there is no contradiction between the two.
Under the premise of technical cooperation between the two parties, the supercomputer Shen Teng made a big splash this year and directly jumped to the second place.
Because of Shenteng's private nature, it can freely handle its own products, so after becoming famous, it received orders for more than ten supercomputers from several European countries.
Sometimes when you think carefully about things in this world, you will find that they are full of intrigue.
Originally, Europe and the United States were in the same camp. Logically, when they purchased supercomputers, they would naturally use products from the United States or Europe.
However, since the Prism Gate incident broke out last year, European countries, which already had a distrustful attitude towards the United States, have even less trust in the United States this time.
From operating systems to electronic components to supercomputers, there is nothing that does not make them suspicious.
Not only are we not confident in the US supercomputers, we are also not confident in the supercomputers of our country and Japan.
In the past, we were worried and had no alternatives, and we couldn't develop them ourselves. In the past, China's supercomputers were almost all made by Chinese state-owned enterprises. One reason was that they were not enough for domestic use, and the other was that they were not exported at all.
They can only hold their noses and buy American products.
But now China has developed a supercomputer that can be exported, and it ranks second this year, so there is a choice.
That’s how Shen Teng got his order.
Shen Teng ranks second among supercomputers this year. Its performance is naturally beyond doubt, and it also has an advantage in price.
The top supercomputer in the United States costs 2 billion US dollars, while Shenteng only costs 1.5 billion US dollars. In this way, Shenteng received foreign orders for more than a dozen top-level supercomputers in one go.
Yin Zhenfei, who invested a lot of money in this project, finally smiled. He didn't expect that supercomputers are still very promising. Even if they don't open for three years, they will be enough to support the economy for three years after they open.
Wan Bastard finally didn't lie to him.
There are less than ten people in the whole country who can be called bastards by Yin Zhenfei now.
Among these ten people, three or four were actually people he called assholes, and for the rest, assholes were just nicknames.
When Wan Bastard said that he could make a lot of money with this thing, he didn't believe it at all. He thought that the guy was fooling him. He hesitated for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would really make a lot of money.
One supercomputer can generate more than half of the profit, so the delivery of these dozen supercomputers will generate tens of billions of yuan in profit.
These are just foreign orders. There is also demand in China. Shen Teng also has orders for dozens of units in China. Of course, the specifications and configurations are different.
Even the supercomputer with the lowest configuration costs hundreds of millions of yuan, so there is no such thing as a cheap one.
Yin Zhenfei couldn't have imagined that such an expensive item would have such a popular market in the country.
Although Warwick in this life is not as influential as in the previous life because it does not make mobile phones, it has become a well-deserved giant in the communications field.
It now holds a 50% share of various equipment in the communications field. Together with Zhongxing's 20% share, Chinese companies now hold a 70% share.
The remaining share is occupied by Nojiya and Ailixin, among which the owners behind Nojiya are still Huawei and Huaguang.
It can be said that Chinese companies hold the power of life and death in this field, and foreign telecommunications companies now have to rely on Chinese companies for their survival.
If you are allowed to live, you can live a miserable life. If you are allowed to die, it would be a matter of minutes to exaggerate.
"Without your strong support, Warwick wouldn't be where it is today."
Yin Zhenfei said this when he visited Nanwan Microcar accompanied by Wan Feng. This was his first time to Nanwan in the past five years. He came here mainly to customize some safe vehicles.
The performance can be average, the appearance doesn't have to be conspicuous, and the safety factor just needs to be high.
What he had his eyes on was the largest model of the Great Wall.
Since Great Wall vehicles are official vehicles, their safety has naturally been tested.
But there is also a special type of Great Wall car, which is a bulletproof car.
The Great Wall car he wanted was a car with a very high safety level, almost equivalent to that of a National People's Congress Standing Committee member.
Its bulletproof level is not just bulletproof, but it can also protect against artillery shells and high-explosive bombs.
This car can still run even after being subjected to intensive machine gun fire, because the workmanship, materials and protective measures of the three major components are first-class.
It can be said that this is a small, high-strength armored vehicle in the shape of a sedan.
Yin Zhenfei was very satisfied with his new car after the test drive and happily ordered ten of them.
He believed that there were more than ten people at Warwick who were qualified to ride in this car.
Of course the price is also good with a high safety level. At three million, it is the most expensive car in Nanwan Group.
There is nothing special about this type of car on the surface. It is almost the same as an ordinary car, and it is almost never sold in the market.
But every year Nanwan Group can sell 1,800 such cars.
Naturally, they were all bought by wealthy bosses. Every powerful boss is afraid of death, and three million is not a high price to pay for safety.
Ever since this type of car quietly appeared among the powerful bosses in China two years ago, Wan Feng was surprised that it has become a symbol of status for these bosses.
Because the production of this type of car is not high, only more than a thousand units a year, it actually created the effect of hunger marketing.
In this case, Wan Feng had no intention of expanding production and only produced one thousand vehicles a year.
Anyway, this kind of car is not affordable for ordinary people.
