Blooming America

Some people say that the source of human progress is to make oneself more lazy and idle. But in Catherine's view, things can't be said like that.

The source of human progress is to make it more convenient for them to do nothing. This is a very important reason why many people work hard.

Being able to play games comfortably, watch movies comfortably, enjoy comfortably, and be able to show superiority comfortably, this is the source of people's motivation!

But speaking of it, if we change to yesterday, that is, May 17, 1972, Catherine might still believe that humans are a species with good morals.

But now, Catherine doesn't think so.

After using Tai Chi to push the Chinese to Corning, Catherine was ambitious to develop next-generation technology products. Although these products may be too early, Catherine feels that such things can be put into place. Go inside the school district.

Anyway, the students have already started to eat special food, can I have another special technology?

And even if the school does not have 300,000 people, Catherine's estimate is about 100,000 people, and his business is profitable. Anyway, the Pentagon doesn't care about such a small amount of money, right?

And at this time, the project case of the new product that Apple cooperated with Intel was placed in front of Catherine.

Although only a new central processing unit was developed for game consoles, when Catherine saw this project, she was deeply shocked.

The processor of their plan is called lden-age, which means the golden age.

Although Catherine’s current product is apu, perhaps because of the habitual name, most folks still call it cpu. In the core design of this new game console, even the concept of cpu is abandoned, or rather Dilute it.

This code-named "golden age" cpu has a processor core, but among them, there are 8 auxiliary cores. This core will adopt a completely different architecture and working mode from the current one, with a working frequency of more than 200mhz.

This sounded, Catherine the concept of ga processor also sounded a bit shocked, so when she saw this news, Catherine immediately asked Elsa to upload all the relevant information, and at this time, Catherine really Know what Apple and Intel really want to do...

It seems that they are ready to play a big game...

The ga processor has built-in 8 cooperating processing units and has the ability to handle separate calculations. This inspiration probably comes from Catherine's supercomputer cluster. These eight md-based coprocessors are definitely high-tech, and they are not researched in one day or two days. md means single instruction multiple data streams. The concept proposed by Catherine has only existed on paper until now, and has not been used in practice. However, Intel and Apple are holding the attitude of arrogance and preparing to study new ideas. System too.

——But just like the reason Catherine was surprised, this kind of technology is also just a paper technique that Catherine mashed up...

But in theory, the speed of ga's ownership of cattle x is probably due to this new architecture.

In addition, the golden age can support a special distributed computing technology. Multiple machines with the golden age can be connected together to share computing power, thereby obtaining higher performance.

This kind of design concept makes people stunned. If it weren’t for the company’s behind-the-scenes ss, Catherine herself would have been a little bit distrustful of this seemingly sci-fi plan-it’s too obvious. Apple is just trying to stab the appetite of the players, and Intel It is bragging.

But Catherine really saw the project case and knew that the other party's research had already begun.

This architecture looks very good, it will support the simultaneous operation of up to ten threads. But Catherine felt it was useless.

"There is no need for such a thing in the game, this function is castrated..."

Catherine has drawn circles on these functions that may not be necessary.

Only in this way can I guarantee that until the end, I can have the most complete game console. It is castrated, but it should be said to be streamlined. The game does not need to be so versatile...

The instruction set of the computer used by ga is an instruction system, and the architecture is inherently efficient. The processor structure is streamlined, and the technology is obviously superior to the popular ones on the market. Because of this, in the 21st century, almost all supercomputer systems belong to the system, and the popular x86 is actually limited to the environment, and it is widely known because it is closely related to people's work and life.

Of course, if you want to use it on the market, there are many problems that need to be solved. In fact, the most effective instruction set should be the ultra-long instruction set. The ultra-long instruction set can definitely kill the simplified instruction set and the complex instruction set. But the extremely long instruction set places high demands on developers. Basically, the level of writing a program or game determines the running speed of the program. In other words, the level of the programmer directly determines the level of a program. Level, this is a very tricky existence for third-party developers, all such long instruction sets Catherine does not intend to promote.

…Of course, in terms of form, patents are also necessary.

Speaking of which, Catherine understood the frequency of 200mhz.

Because Catherine’s current Capricorn still has some shortcomings. In the laboratory, the maximum frequency of Capricorn can reach 150mhz, but this must be at the expense of command efficiency. High frequency may not be able to bring high performance. According to calculations, when Capricorn is in Only when it is below 100mhz can you have the best performance.

This problem will only change when the next generation of processors appears.

However, the ga processor was originally designed for high frequency. The concept of the ga processor determines its high-efficiency status-the main processor and the coprocessor each perform their duties, and the core design is streamlined and efficient to achieve high-frequency operation. The arithmetic unit uses a parallel structure.

This design really makes people shine.

In fact, Catherine’s Capricorn and the previous equivalent cores also have similar auxiliary cores, but unlike conventional processors, the main core and auxiliary cores in ga have quite strong **xìng. But in addition to the operating system, the main core does not care about anything, the application-related thread operations are completely run by the auxiliary core of the coprocessor. The threads of multiple applications will be evenly distributed to each auxiliary core, and the entire system is load-balanced and designed very scientifically.

Catherine even felt as if she had been slapped in the face.

The multi-core design of this vertical structure is completely different from the dual-core processor of Catherine’s plan. Each processing core of Catherine’s dual-core cpu has the same status, and each core can complete all calculations. It reflects a large And the whole calculation idea. So if you want to become dual-core, the frequency problem will become a flaw-in other words, after dual-core, if you want to increase the frequency, it will be slightly difficult.

In the ga processor, each processing core focuses on its own task, interdependent and cooperates with each other. The simplification of the task also allows each core to be designed to be streamlined and efficient, so the operating frequency can easily reach similar to Capricorn Such a processor cannot reach a height.

(But why is there a strong sense of sight...)

Catherine murmured. In the last life, Catherine knew a lot about the cpu, so there was a lot of knowledge about this aspect, so at this time, Catherine had a sense of sight.

But although there is a sense of sight, but there is no more detailed memory, Catherine just shook her head.

"But this technology shouldn't just be developed for game consoles..." Catherine thought for a while. Since it supports distributed computing technology, such a cpu is actually more suitable and used as the core of a supercomputer.

This function is also one of the functions castrated by Catherine.

Intel’s idea is to unify the auxiliary cores in this way, but Catherine feels that this will have an impact on the effect of the game. In theory, it is better for users of this model to have more cores, while ga, as a game machine, needs The distribution mode is more suitable for games.

"Well, if they can really design it, just talk to Mr. Clay, I believe he will be more interested in this kind of processor... But the name ga... uh..."

Why does Catherine always think of a golden guy who always yells "cutter, crap"...

"Change the name..."

Catherine thought about it then.

But Catherine thought for a while, and still felt it was over.

"Just add another processor."

Catherine thought so.

"The name is cell." If you add back the originally castrated functions, this is a very good basic processor core that can be used in a supercomputer.

But this is not enough. Catherine has added an error correction mechanism to the core of the cell, which is even better.

The error correction mechanism is necessary. If a processor has a strong independent error correction capability, such a processor that can automatically recover from failures and realize true "never downtime" operation will definitely be a supercomputer. Two choices. If in operation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a processor can automatically detect whether the processed data is damaged, if the data is wrong, the processor will automatically restore it to a normal state with the help of a mechanism to avoid The wrong result may cause the system to shut down, which will definitely be perfect when used.

Take Catherine's cloud system, for example. The cloud system has to be shut down for inspection once a week, and so far, there have been two crashes-this has caused millions of dollars in losses. Although the money is not much, such a small hassle is always a concern.

If you change such a cell, the cloud system will be more stable.

Catherine unscrupulously misappropriated the names of ibm products in history, and then sat on her sofa with a face of peace of mind, and then looked at Intel and Apple’s processor plans safely...

"But can it really happen..." Catherine murmured.

This seems to belong to the kind of relatively black technology, right? Can your own cpu really be so awesome?

...

There is one more~! .
