The beginning of the super-intelligent computer project is secret. [] The Exeter Computer Research Center was built in the United Kingdom, and is located on the outskirts of a small southwestern city, very far away from the press center circle. In fact, because it was founded with the background of the British royal family, even local reporters in the UK rarely visit, let alone other media around the world.

There are only fifty or sixty members in the institute. Although the number is rare, they are all elite hackers collected by Alice from all over the world.

In fact, this is a very interesting fact. If you just graduate from university step by step, you will certainly have superb computer skills, but that's it. The so-called academic and theoretical schools are like this. However, any hacker is absolutely knowledgeable through practice, and they must be comprehensively proficient in multiple skills in order to assume the identity of a hacker.

Therefore, although it cannot be said that those who graduated from Stanford and MIT with a master's degree in computer science are very poor, they must be strong in hackers. However, the dozens of people Alice found are definitely "Stanford PhD in Computer Science". Super master.

Such a group of people, even if one or two are elites, just like when Gates was still in school, he became a senior technician of a computer company as a mere student. Alice often interacts with Gates, and she often mixes with the employees in her research institute. Practice has proved that, excluding business acumen, everyone here is at least the same level as Gates's kid.

You know, one of the most famous examples that Bill Gates left in talk shows is that after only a few months of contact with computers in middle school, he first hacked into the main computer room of the school, and then helped the school design the curriculum.

Therefore, since there is such a gathering of elites, the research institute should theoretically be able to produce patented technologies in large quantities. But what makes a few interested people wonder is that three or four years have passed, and its most eye-catching technical output is the usb standard and a small-capacity but high-speed solid state drive.

The former has indeed caused a lot of sensation in the IT industry in the past few months. During this period, Microsoft, Cisco, and many of their counterparts in Silicon Valley, including Intel, Oracle, and even ibm and Hewlett-Packard, are trying to promote this technology as an industry standard.

Regarding this matter, companies in the industry are of course happy to see, the performance improvement and the unification of standards are absolutely conducive to the production of all hardware companies. "Popular Electronics" magazine has reported that although the technical content of this patent is general, if it is unified as an industry standard, it will have an indelible effect on promoting the development of the IT industry.

Congratulations, but another finished product of the institute is a bit embarrassing. Solid-state hard drives, this thing is unfamiliar to almost everyone. If it weren't for industry magazines and newspapers to quickly popularize knowledge, many people who claim to be computer enthusiasts don't even know that this concept appeared as early as the 1970s. Of course, they are not to blame. In 1970, Storagetek developed the first solid-state hard drive, which is gratifying, but that's it.

The following did not start until the Exeter Institute, which really made practical products. The capacity is very small, at least three times worse than the normal hard disk in the same period, but the price is not lower than the most cutting-edge ordinary movies, so as the only and most important advantage, everyone must admit that its speed is also really fast .

It's a pity that everyone with a discerning eye can see that this technology has no practical value at all in the short term. The high price and poor capacity make almost everyone not buy it. Although the speed of this solid-state drive is indeed fast, but besides being taken advantage of by the Ministry of Defense, who would spend the money?

So the question is, dozens of top elites have worked hard for three or four years. Why are there only two or three products?

"So big."

Looking at a string of "large refrigerators" lined up in front of you,]

The scene of the first computer in history, Ainiak, was almost reproduced at the scene. Twenty-one large black iron-clad refrigerators up to nine feet high emit the roar of electric fans when they are running, and rows of working indicator lights turn on and off in groups, just like an intelligent robot using lights to describe its heart.

"Large size, higher performance."

Harry Purness was standing next to Alice, and he was extremely proud: "Boss, don't think that'Anne' occupies less space than the big guy in the basement, her performance is completely on the same level as it!"

The otaku's hobby of the product came out early from his name. Alice is also very satisfied. You must know that the supercomputer she bought for the research institute at the beginning is capable of tens of billions of floating point operations per second, but it is the latest product in the world. That's ibm's veteran strengths, and I am no more than 50 or 60 people here, but in just two or three years, relying on the principle of ternary to build a computer that is not inferior to its performance, the progress is amazing.

"Performance is of course as fast as possible, but our real focus is on software." Today is the day of inspection. It is not for bragging to come from all directions. Now that the boss requested it, Harry immediately led her to the main control platform.

The current operating system is born from windows.nt, it is much easier to adapt all binary codes to ternary system than to use the ternary version of unix. The former only needs Alice to make adjustments on the original basis, and the latter has to be developed from scratch. Although Unix is ​​one of the most suitable server platforms, as a temporary substitute, Microsoft's products are certainly more than enough.

This is also a product of excellence. Although Alice is a shareholder of Microsoft, she has no hope of using nt as the operating system of her ternary computer. It is now used as a substitute, and the actual evaluation of the hardware part of the computer, and the software part, it is up to everyone to work together and cooperate.

A true ternary operating system, not just the kind of slightly adapted nt.

"Mr. Zola’s algorithm is simply born for artificial intelligence!" When he mentioned the person who had been communicating with him recently, Harry was extremely excited: "On the surface, as long as the amount of information is sufficient, it can provide an almost The prediction of the probability of prediction. This is of course very remarkable, but we have to see the essence, based on the existing intelligence to infer the future development, is this not just the thinking mode of the human brain?"

Harry was really excited, otherwise he wouldn't try to popularize Alice. As for the latter, as soon as she sat in front of the computer, she completely ignored any interference from the outside world, not to mention Harry's nonsense, even if the nuclear bomb exploded outside the window, it was a question of whether she could raise her head.

Before she flew to the UK, she emailed Harry to start a new project, which was the development of a real artificial intelligence system.

It's not just the ternary principle, but a computer that can really think like a human.

The technical difference between the development method lies in whether to use Harry's ternary genetic algorithm and the "probabilistic algorithm" of Anim-Zola.

A basic common sense is that even if a computer has "real" artificial intelligence, there is also the issue of "age". This age does not only refer to the age of the virtual personality, but the "mental age" of the computer when dealing with various matters. Young people are impulsive, with a 40% probability of taking risks, middle-aged people are stable, with a 60% probability of chasing, and the elderly are conservative, with an 80% probability of daring to take action. It's just the most obvious.

The basic understanding of instructions, based on the influence of "mental age", coupled with the guidance of the "personality" of the system, finally forms a complete command system. This is really very similar to playing chess. It is also the benchmark for ibm and Google to test the artificial intelligence of computers with Go. On this basis, if it is based on ternary, coupled with genetic algorithm and "probability algorithm", it must be Can a real "artificial intelligence" be born?

"This idea is okay..." At the meeting table, the group leaders gathered together, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Director Harry-Punes responded to the big boss’s proposal: "But we have been studying Zola recently. Mr.’s algorithm, I haven’t fully learned it yet. Boss, you can’t do it if you are in a hurry.

It wasn't that he said that everyone could see Alice's cheerful look. I'm also wondering, why is the boss who hasn't been in a hurry for so long suddenly become so active? If they knew that it was just because Alice didn't want to manually enter massive amounts of website information, would it crash?

Well, it seems unnecessary.

Alice slapped her chest and said, "This is simple. It just so happens that my family Cici is about to graduate. I have been staying in the research institute two months before the holiday. I am directly responsible for the research and development of the operating system. You learn from you. If you don't have anything, just come to me and let's tackle problems together."

So the situation was settled. Zola’s algorithm is indeed very difficult. Alice recognized it when she read the outline. His programming is almost the same as hers in terms of technical content. What is remarkable is that there is a difference in production speed. Allowing a group of "ordinary people" to quickly learn Zola's algorithm is equivalent to allowing them to quickly understand Alice's highest level of work, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, after the situation was confirmed, Alice sat in the office with a swipe of a pen, but first issued an unexpected decision.

"The newest and most powerful supercomputer that just came out this year, the necsx-3/44r from the Nec Fuchu Factory in Fuchu City, Japan, is a supercomputer with 23 billion floating-point operations per second. Give me an original package. Mail here!"

It is a fool to have money and not make money, especially now is the last crazy period of the Japanese real estate bubble. Whether it is before or after the burst, I believe those Japanese will never let go of this big deal.

After all, the United States and Japan are friendly~.
