The Black Technology Chat Group of the Ten Thousand Realms

The Global Supercomputer Conference is held every two years. Jointly organized by the IEEE Society and the American Computer Society, it discusses the latest technologies, products and development trends in high-performance computing, networking, storage and analysis in the field of global IT technology.

In China, it is rare to see reports of this conference. There is no other reason. In China, there are too few companies and institutions qualified to participate in this global supercomputer conference. Even if there is, there will be no creative technological products, so the media and the public are not very concerned about it.

The last big news about this conference was that Huaxia creatively launched the Shenwei supercomputer, which was rated as the fastest supercomputer in the world by the judges of the supercomputer conference.

"Participate in this global supercomputer conference?" Su Zhirong raised her eyebrows and said, "This time it will be held at the New Orleans Convention Center in the United States."

"More than 400 companies, universities, supercomputing centers, HPC (handheld computer) research institutes and associations are expected to participate. 3M, AMD, Altair, Cisco, Fujitsu, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, HP, Hitachi... These famous companies will attend.”

"What do you mean by exhibiting our quantum computer and the latest smart technology at the conference?"

"That's right!" Lu Zixin nodded. "The impact of this kind of conference is all over the world. Don't do this kind of propaganda in vain. We want to usher in a new computer age. What better time than this?"

"That will surprise them!" Su Zhirong said with a slight smile, only the core members of Hongxin know what kind of achievements they have achieved!

...

USA, New Orleans Convention Center, members from the IEEE International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Computer Society, are preparing to organize the latest global supercomputer conference.

Each conference has a theme, and the theme of this conference is to explore new computer development and artificial intelligence technology.

New types of computers refer to photonic computers, biological computers, superconducting quantum computers, etc. Of course, mainly superconducting quantum computers.

Not to mention artificial intelligence technology. In recent years, as long as there are conferences about the computer industry, this topic must be indispensable.

In a conference center, key members from two associations were discussing preparations for the meeting.

IEEE International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, although a non-profit technology association, has nearly 200 countries and hundreds of thousands of members. But most of its core members belong to the United States.

Not to mention the American Computer Society, which is an authoritative organization in the United States.

"In this conference, in addition to researching and discussing computer technology and selecting the latest supercomputers, we have another important thing." An important person said, "Quantum computers have developed rapidly in recent years, and recently there have been large-scale Trends in commercializing quantum computers."

"So at this meeting, we will vote on the relevant standards of quantum computers. Develop international unified data standards for quantum computers!"

The members have long known about this, and their faces are calm, but their hearts have long had their own plans.

The man continued: "A total of 16 universities, companies or scientific research institutions have applied for the quantum computer standard this time, and they will also show it during the conference. We will hold a large-scale voting event at that time, everyone please be prepared. "

At the end of the meeting, some members also made an appointment to discuss the matter privately.

This standard vote is not a trivial matter, which means that in the future, quantum computers all over the world will be manufactured according to established standards, and it also represents the leading or even monopoly of core technology!

In the science and technology world, there is a saying that first-class companies set technical standards, second-class companies make brands, and third-class companies sell products.

In the computer industry, big international companies such as Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are the standard-setters.

Traditional computer chips and computer machine production standards are inseparable from them. So they can openly spread their business all over the world and overlook all beings in the computer industry!

Just like the previous communications industry, Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, etc. are the standard-setters, while the earlier Chinese manufacturers such as Hongxin are just product and brand operators.

It was not until the success of Hongxin's Skynet plan, and the development of a new 6G communication standard and virtual projection technology standard using chip technology, that it reached the peak of the communication industry.

For the current computer industry, Hongxin Group is just a "little white" who has just stepped into this field, while companies such as Intel are the makers of the rules of the game, which cannot be said in the same year.

"This Chinese company has also been selected as one of the quantum computer standards?" In an international hotel, several key members of the American Computer Society and IEEE were discussing in private.

"Yes, Hongxin Group. A few months ago, they published a paper in the journal "Science", claiming that they have been able to operate a superconducting quantum computer with twenty qubits, and also have a superconducting quantum chip." One person replied, "So the association not only invited them to the meeting, but also included their criteria as one of the candidates."

This person is one of the vice presidents of the internal executive committee of the IEEE International Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers, Toran Bell. He is a true American and an honorary professor of electrical engineering at a prestigious American school.

"This is the first time that Chinese companies can join the standard candidates," said a member of the American Computer Society.

"Not only that, it seems that there are more Chinese companies and institutions participating in the conference this year than last time." Someone frowned slightly and said, "And we have decreased."

What this represents is the replacement of corporate power.

"Okay, let's talk about this vote," someone said. "Who should we vote for?"

Everyone thought silently of the candidates on the list. The first ones were Intel’s quantum computer standards, as well as companies such as AMD and IBM, Stanford University’s Quantum Research Laboratory, Canada’s D-Wave Computer Company, Germany’s Institute of Quantum Optics, etc. .

Among them, they represent a considerable part of the vote, and if they can reach an agreement, the voting result will not be too different.

"It's Intel, of course, and I think they're the best at quantum computing," Toran Bell said. "Intel has shown us their superconducting quantum computer, which is already capable of supercomputer performance."

"I think the standards of the German Institute are stricter." Another comment was made.
