This world has gradually become weird, and only characters from the film and television world appear in various memories, so that Yang Yi has to worry about whether the earth will be invaded.

Although the earth is only a remote planet located in the Milky Way, remoteness does not mean complete, after all, in the earth, no matter how remote the desert in Africa is, it can't avoid those capitals who seek profits!

……

In September, the blue water polo is unexpectedly calm, and many eyes in the world are looking at the current Huaguo, resolutely carrying out the transformation of the national immortality gene, and showing the mobilization strength that shocked the rest of the world.

Countless militiamen and college students took the initiative to maintain order, public security and joint defense, the crime rate was about to reach its lowest point, and the first and second phases of genetic modification were basically successfully completed.

The latest series of longevity gene drugs has completely solved most of the abnormalities, and only some incurable diseases are left that are difficult to solve, and medical progress needs to be promoted!

There are all kinds of news and rumors in the outside world now, slander, jealousy, and all kinds of reactions.

Tran, Russia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and other countries have basically negotiated and related bills, and the Chinese National Assembly will provide corresponding quantities of drugs at cost price to supply these countries.

The rest of the world is still waiting and watching, and there are some worries, after all, it is only a year, and it is difficult to say what the problem will be with genes, in fact, it is still distrust and entanglement of interests.

Countries that are not really allies will eventually have friction in their interests; For the upper classes of these capitalist countries, after confirming that there is no problem, they have already obtained the corresponding medicines through various channels, and naturally they can negotiate slowly!

"Based on the chaotic architecture, a new generation of Loongson - Qinglong S2, this generation of chips will be foundry by Datang Electronics, using the latest process of 22nm; This generation of chips will use a quad-core architecture, and the performance of a single core will reach 2.3GHz;

The integrated communication chip "Zhoutian", this communication chip contains the existing 2G3G4G full band, and the WiFi will be equipped with the latest Wigig technology......"

On September 3, Star Group held a press conference to begin to warm up for a new generation of products, released in the newly built exhibition hall, first released the technical specifications of the new generation of processors, the conference was jointly held by Star Group and Datang Electronics, Huawei Communications, ZTE and Huaguo's three communication providers.

The processors of this generation are a total of three models, large, medium and small, the largest model for the 12-inch Starry Sky Pad and Starry Sky CH; Medium for handheld and 10-inch Starry Sky Pad; Compact for the starry sky.

This release of chips also focuses on GPU chips - Taiji, which is a crucial one; There has long been a saying that the CPU is a college professor who does high math problems; GPU is a group of elementary school students, doing ordinary addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you out of elementary school math GPU of course calculate fast, you out of high math GPU will be confused.

In fact, it is necessary to think more deeply about the differences.

The origin of GPU is not so much a split from the CPU, but a change from dedicated to general-purpose.

In the early days of computers, the concept of GPU did not exist at the beginning, and the main significance of display chips was to output video signals.

Even when 2D was emerging, the computing power of display chips was not taken seriously - at that time, 2D, you can get it in Java, isn't it almost the same?

It wasn't until the advent of the 3D era that an object had to be transformed in space and had to be lit up, and the importance of mathematical operations was revealed. And at the beginning, these operations were also done on the CPU, and the greater significance of the graphics card was rasterization, and it was normal for OpenGL1.X to run on the CPU at that time.

The term GPU was proposed at the time of RCE256, when the hardware-cured T&L (light and shadow conversion) unit was integrated inside, so the name was intended to do spatial transformation and lighting processing, so far, the floating point computing power of GPU can be regarded as the beginning.

Although the position of the graphics card (GPU) was firmly established at this time, no one wanted to compare it for a long time, after all, the GPU is not just as simple as arithmetic, geometry transformation and cropping, rasterization, texture reading, and post-production AA...... These features are too specialized, and the CPU can only emulate, which is obviously a loss.

At that time, the processing scheme was that the graphics card divided the computing unit into two stages, vertices and pixels, and different graphics cards allocated different proportions of computing resources for the two, which also made them perform differently in different games.

Until the beginning of DX10 a few years ago, the GPU architecture entered the general architecture, the concept of stream processor was proposed, and GPGPU began to rise, and GPU finally had a basis for comparison with CPU.

Since then, the number of GPU cores has increased, tens of hundreds, or even thousands.

GPUs with many cores are suitable for doing work with a large amount of parallelism, rendering a frame of the picture, with millions of polygons and no impact on each other (ideal conditions), and the final picture reaches 1080p, with millions of pixels, and does not affect each other (ideal conditions), this good parallel load makes the GPU architecture play a huge role.

But CPUs are not without this kind of use case, otherwise they would not go from single-core to dual-core and then to quad-core.

……

In fact, the single-precision computing power of the two is indeed about the same, but when you switch to a workload that is almost completely unparallelizable, such as 48 threads doing different jobs, the result is different, and it eventually becomes a war of main speeds.

In order to improve efficiency, GPUs can castrate unnecessary double-precision performance, can drastically cut integer performance, and can also remove a large number of caches - under the premise of high parallelism, the latency of memory access can be hidden by pipelines.

For example, cooking in a restaurant requires multiple steps of selecting dishes, serving dishes, and paying, and each step takes 3s for 1s, but if everyone queues up to execute closely, because each step does not interfere with each other, N people only need N+2s, which is equivalent to only 1s for each person.

GPU is also this idea, cut the cache can be used to put ALU, reduce power consumption and improve computing power, as for the delay of memory access is hidden by the high degree of parallelism and high locality of the workload, which also makes these problems exposed when the parallelism is not enough, bringing lower performance (the poor performance of high-end cards at low resolution can also be explained).

Also emasculated is the scheduling unit, where the CPU does a lot of branch prediction and out-of-order execution components, but the GPU relies heavily on the compiler.

In other words, the program running on the GPU needs to determine the use of registers at compile time, which poses a greater challenge to the compiler. If the compiler doesn't handle it properly, the huge register resources will be wasted, and its faster access speed than the cache will be wasted.

For the microchip used in mobile phones, a separate graphics chip is also crucial, otherwise it will limit the development and application of related technologies, especially after entering the 4G era, high-definition video will gradually become the needs of users, and the same is true for games with better picture quality.

However, it is limited by hardware, and the software technology has been achieved, but the chip technology is still in the process of tackling key problems.

Intel, Qualcomm, Nvidia, ...... Whoever comes up with a new generation of integrated chips first will have the vast majority of the advantage in this market.

At present, judging from the relevant patents, Qualcomm is ahead of other manufacturers, but it is still a lot of work away from launching a suitable integrated chip.

I didn't expect Star Group to take the lead in launching products, involving Huaguo's layout in 4G, different from the cost of 3G, the construction of 4G base stations is a big investment.

In this press conference, Huaguo announced the establishment of "Tower Co., Ltd.", which is a large-scale state-owned communication tower infrastructure service enterprise funded by Mobile Communications Co., Ltd., United Network Communications Co., Ltd., China Telecom Co., Ltd. and Guoxin Holdings Co., Ltd. under the background of implementing the strategy of "network power", deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises and promoting the sharing of telecommunications infrastructure resources.

The company is mainly engaged in the construction, maintenance and operation of base station supporting facilities such as communication towers, high-speed rail and subway public network coverage, and large-scale indoor distribution systems.

Work has been done in the past few months, especially now that several first-tier cities already have 4G base stations, but the problem of 4G chips is still unknown.

After all, there are too many patents for chip design, and now Qualcomm holds the most 4G patents, but after the exchange of interests in the first few months, Star Group has been able to bypass the patent barriers set by Qualcomm and directly release its own baseband communication chip "Zhoutian".

CPU is not sold for the time being, because Datang Electronics now has limited 22nm technology production capacity, and Zhongjing Microchip has also undertaken part of the production capacity, but this is not enough for Star Group's own use.

This month, we will release the starry sky, which has already jumped several times, and the second generation of the starry sky will be released next month, and the chips needed will need a lot of stocking.

That is to say, the process required by the baseband communication chip can be reduced and can be licensed.

Qualcomm and other manufacturers must be unwilling, after all, the relevant investment layout has invested at least billions of dollars, and the "Zhoutian" chip of the star sky will lead to Qualcomm's indirect loss of tens of billions of dollars in future profits, or even more.

This even involves the layout of the overall communications industry in the United States, the advantages of the 2G era, the restrictions of the 3G era even made the famous enterprises in China at that time, Aida Electronics, from the world's first-class mobile phone manufacturers to the point of third-rate miscellaneous brands, 4G era, the United States communications industry alliance is ready to continue.

To start from wifi, baseband chips, processors and other aspects, they started the layout early, ready to earn the biggest profits in the future in the field of consumer electronics, but they did not expect that the Star Group was born, and the technological development even exceeded the accumulation of their alliance for more than ten years.

"What are we all going to do?" Jack Wilder asked, looking at the agent who came to the door.

Originally a thief, he is now part of a criminal gang codenamed "The Thieves", and now he also works for the United States, or for someone in the United States.

"A lot, destroying the defense system, shutting down the probes, breaking the cabinets in the intrusion control system, taking out the chips safely, that's your job.

For this mission, a reward of eight million dollars was offered, which of course was subject to taxes. ”

"Okay, then we'll take it, I think the blood is boiling all over my body right now." Daniel Atlas on the side said with a smile at this time.

It's not so easy to make money, eight million is enough for the four of them to make a move, and after paying taxes, each person can also get more than one million dollars, which is enough to be chic for a long time.

"Okay guys, I'm waiting for good news from you in America!"

The agent finished and left.

"Now, everyone looks at what they want to prepare, I'll go on a field trip in advance, and we'll meet in that city in two days." Daniel looked at the members of the team and said.

"No problem."

"No problem."

"No problem."

……

Daniel packed up his things a little, and went directly to Huaguo by plane, because he was in first class, and he was not mentally tired, so he started to get down to business, first found a car rental agency, rented a car with a fake identity from the FBI, and bought a road bike and a full set of equipment in a bicycle shop.

Driving directly to Pudong, it was already dark when he arrived, and Daniel stayed in a fancy hotel and began to accept the information provided by the agents.

The next day, after breakfast and simple makeup, Daniel became a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a slight beard on his face and a hat on his head, which was very artistic.

Drive to the Star Hi-Tech Park, the target pavilion is the newest pavilion of the Star Group, located at the southernmost point of the park.

To the range of the Starry Sky High-Tech Park, Daniel's car drove a little slower, although the ornamental tree species are only about a year, but the environment of these kilometers does give people a comfortable feeling, after crossing this section of the road, a tunnel appeared in front, after passing through the tunnel, there was a sudden feeling of enlightenment, there was a valley in front, and a building was located in the valley.

In front of the building was a rainbow-like mist, which Daniel knew was a defensive measure of the Star Group, which seemed to be a beautiful view, but it could be accurately controlled and hurt.

Daniel carefully read the information sent by Agent Daniel about some of the defenses.

The Star Group's defense is well-known among criminal gangs around the world, and when the Star Group first became famous, many commercial spies took over the mission and eventually fell into the legal net.

Later, as the reputation of the Star Group grew, there were fewer and fewer people who dared to take on the mission of the Star Group, and the accurate "Skynet" tracking system, tasers, drones and other equipment were also revealed.

On the dark web, it has also been said that several major departments in the United States have sent joint teams, all of which are composed of elites, and they have all fallen into the Star Group.

However, the exhibition hall is outside, which is the place where the press conference and the products of the Star Group will be held in the future, and the internal area is not suitable for close monitoring.

The building of the exhibition hall is directly separated from the interior of the park by a river, and although there are two bridges connecting them, outsiders cannot cross those two bridges.

Parking the car in the parking lot of the exhibition hall, Daniel walked to the exhibition hall, I have to say, money is good, the scenery design here is beautiful, and the surrounding area is directly a large wetland park, walking here, I feel a little more comfortable.

There are also a lot of people around, Star Group makes an appointment system for the exhibition hall here, you can directly check the passenger flow of the day on the Internet and make an appointment, Daniel also saw a lot of people holding selfie sticks and talking about something, he knows, this is an emerging industry in China: live broadcast!

Watching around with an ornamental eye, entering the venue, the lighting design in the venue is very ingenious, the ceiling of the exhibition hall is like the starry sky, if you look carefully, it seems that you can see the lights are rotating like the starry sky, and several important display cabinets are illuminated by several lights, in this environment the design is more prominent, eye-catching, and easier to appreciate.

After approaching, Daniel took a closer look at the display case, made of high-grade bulletproof glass, using electronic locks, the security measures here are good, and it is estimated that it will take some trouble to destroy.

The overall area of the exhibition hall is not small, in addition to these showcases, there are also some booths, which are placed with the products that have been listed by the Star Group, just with a safety rope, you can experience it on the spot, and then you can also pay on the spot to buy products, of course, there may be no goods, then you can leave the address for mailing.

Pretended to experience it, and took out his own Apple mobile phone for comparison, indeed, the experience of the starry sky is better than the experience of iphone4.

I placed an order on the spot and bought one, because the Star Group has announced that this product has been withdrawn from the market, which means that a new product will be released soon, but if you really want to buy it, it is also in stock.

The on-site service staff reminded him several times, and asked Daniel to look at the starry sky in the display case at this time, hinting that he was about to launch the machine.

But after Daniel explained with the iphone4 in his hand, he said that he was not short of money, and he must change it, even if he could only collect it in a few days.

……

Two days later, in a hotel in Shanghai, the four knights gathered again.

"Prepare for action tonight, after we open the target display case with the intrusion system, take out the items and leave immediately, nothing will happen." Daniel set the tone first, there are many products of the Star Group now, and there are many products to be displayed in the secret stage, and it is still very easy to take each piece out and sell it for tens of thousands of dollars.

……

Late at night, a car came to the suburbs where the exhibition hall is located, deliberately learned the route, avoided the road outside the Star Group, the car was parked far away, this car is a specially rented high-end RV, there is now a row of computers in it, and now it will start to invade first.

The special communicator Daniel had already installed it two days ago, and it had been activated all the time, with some camouflage, this was a firewall, and if the security of the Star Group could detect it, then they would abandon this method for the time being.

But for the past two days, there has been no movement, and Daniel has activated another communication device, which has been in a silent state, and it will not be found unless the venue is turned over.

“ok”

Now that the mission has been successfully completed, it is now necessary to dispatch on the spot, and several people have changed their clothes, the security uniforms of the Star Group, which Daniel has depicted after observing.
