The idea of computing power matrix has also changed the traditional way of using switches. Mr. Wu is not unfamiliar with new application methods. The Institute of Technology has been tracking new technologies at home and abroad. Although the computing power matrix has not yet become popular, it has gained attention in the military science and technology department because it imitates the cavitation reaction for the Institute of Ship Power.
04 machine is now mainly promoted and used in the military as a similar alternative product, and has received great praise for its ability to surpass similar products abroad. The most important thing is the breakthrough brought by distributed computing design.
This breakthrough is actually a little similar to Mai Xiaomiao's neuronal system. It was very pleasant to discuss it. Although Zhou Zhi didn't understand what they were talking about, he also knew that the direction was a little off. He quickly coughed: "Uh, Mr. Wu, should we discuss the issue of fiberization of the 04 machine first..."
"That question is not important," Mr. Wu did not look at Zhou Zhi, but waved his hand casually: "There is still such a lot of room for improvement in the distributed core algorithm. Xiaomiao will continue to discuss..."
This time, Zhou Zhi was speechless. Mr. Wu seemed to be a little confused about the big and small kings...
Mr. Yu quickly smoothed out the situation: "Hehe, Lao Wu, please stop first. This is Zhou Zhi, the representative of Ansheng Fund and one of the actual initiators of Tianqing Plan. Have you seen the project plan? Our idea is to take advantage of the opportunity of Tianxingdi.com to implement the fiberization of the 04 machine. This is the main purpose of letting you come this time. You have to introduce the current technical situation to ensure that our plan is not delayed."
"The so-called fiberization is actually to connect optical originals on the core periphery of the 04 machine." Mr. Wu said: "Our country made optical originals relatively early, using isolators, and the signal error deviation has been reduced to one-fifth of traditional equipment, and the anti-interference ability has been increased by three times. The focus of the research and development is on optoelectronic conversion devices, but the Shanghai Research Institute It has already made a breakthrough, and the next step is to add R&D funds to convert experimental equipment into large-scale production. "
"Compared with these small fuss, the improvement of core processing capabilities is only crucial for the 04 machine. Xiao Miao has just put forward a few suggestions on our distributed algorithm design, and we are about to start a discussion."
"Other than this, I will ask Lao Luo of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to explain this to you. You can come out with a room for me and Xiao Miao. Let's continue to discuss algorithm issues. I feel that several places can be used as a breakthrough direction."
"Don't, just discuss it here." Old Yu raised his hand to stop: "You Lao Wu, you want to have a small meal again. The review will almost lose money that has not been passed but still not eaten enough? ! Are you still afraid that we can't understand?"
"Then call Lao Luo here quickly." Lao Zhang said, "Then discuss it again. The little comrade is still waiting here."
Will you talk to the same place?
When the co-developer of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications came, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile bitterly. Where is this just a photoelectric conversion? !
But the information you know is better for computing power networks.
Because of the natural characteristics of Fibre Channel, it has the characteristics of serial high speed, low latency, and low bit error, and has strong anti-interference, strong expansion capabilities, and flexible topology. It is especially suitable for Ethernet networking.
Moreover, the fiber switch has started walking on two legs, one is an Ethernet switch, which is the 04 machine that Mr. Wu mainly focuses on, and the other is an FC switch dedicated to storage area switching.
Compared with the traditional topology, it can only accommodate up to 126 devices, while optical fibers can accommodate 126 devices on the arbitration loop and more than 60,000 devices in the switching structure.
Compared with the physical topology of traditional structures, the physical topology of optical fibers can be point-to-point, arbitration loop, packet switching and other structures, which have very flexible scalability.
And these scalability are very beneficial for memory area switching.
"Master Luo, let me ask you a prudently." Zhou Zhi asked, "Since there are so many benefits in storage FC switches, why isn't our country vigorously promoting them?"Master Luo looked at Zhou Zhi like a fool: "Does there such a large storage cluster in our country urgently need such equipment? Now there are not many applications in this area in the world. Everyone's energy is still on the Ethernet network. The development of equipment like 04 is the mainstream."
Zhou Zhi suddenly realized that he had accidentally ran to the front of the world.
Thinking that this is an opportunity to seize the initiative, Zhou Zhi immediately said: "If we need to acquire a storage FC switch with full intellectual property rights now, how much investment do you think do you need to complete it?"
"Well..." Luo looked at Mr. Wu who was writing formulas with Mai Xiaomiao on the blackboard: "Old Wu! Xiao Zhou asked us if we were sure to do storage FC? How much investment would we need?"
"What are you going to do storage FC? Oh yes... you want to connect to computing power equipment!" Mr. Wu looked like he suddenly realized.
Zhou Zhi was completely speechless, and you don’t know what you asked you to come here for?
"Hahaha, my mind has been on the 04 machine, and I haven't turned around." Mr. Wu patted and said, "Data FC is different from traditional switches, I think..."
"Wait, what I want is not a simple traditional SCSI alternative product, what I want is stackable, self-configurable ports, loop support, switch cascade, adaptive speed, configurable frame buffering, remote login, web management, and simple network management protocols, and switches that can give full play to the advantages of FC switching." Zhou Zhi quickly said, "Of course," of course," Zhou Zhi said quickly. , SCSI interface independent device service needs to be attached to facilitate penetration with traditional Ethernet. "
"All these requirements are added. Mr. Wu, do you think it can be completed? How much investment is needed?" "
"Well..." Mr. Wu frowned and thought: "To meet so many of your requirements, it is best to have an underlying instruction set that is suitable for the FC switch, which can be used to load channel protocols, port protocols, and the requirements of self-speed regulation, self-buffering, network management, etc. you want."
"MINICOS?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥ said⊥sent in ⊥Xiao⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥!
"Ah yes, it's an instruction set like MINICOS. If we can get their authorization and let us use MINICOS, we are confident that we will get the storage FC in two years!"
"Where is the funds?"
"It would be much easier if we don't consider the instruction set. Otherwise, spend another six million?"
"Why don't that happen." Zhou Zhi thought for a while: "We walk on two legs and invest 10 million first, and while we are building storage FC, we are building Ethernet FC."
"Ethernet FC has basically been successful." Mr. Wu was a little excited: "If we can invest four million, we can take out the trial prototype within half a year!"
"No, no, no, what we want is not the current Ethernet FC." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "We want another kind." (End of this chapter)
