The Global Supercomputing Conference was held every two years. It was jointly organized by the IEEE Association and the American Computer Association to discuss the latest technology, products, and trends in high-performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis in the global IT field.
In Huaxia, there were very few reports of this conference. There was no other reason. In Huaxia, there were too few companies and institutions qualified to participate in the Global Supercomputing Conference. Even if there were, they couldn't come up with any creative technology products, so the media and the public didn't care much about it.
The last big news about this conference was that Huaxia launched the Shenwei supercomputer, which was rated as the fastest supercomputer in the world by the judges of the Supercomputing Conference.
"Participate in this Global Supercomputing Conference?" Su Zhirong raised her eyebrows and said, "This time it will be held at the New Orleans Convention Center."
"It is expected that more than 400 companies, universities, supercomputing centers, HPC (Handheld Computer) research institutions and associations will participate. 3M, AMD, Altair, Cisco, Fujitsu, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi … These famous companies will all participate. "
"You mean, we will show our quantum computers and the latest artificial intelligence technology at the conference?"
"That's right!" Lu Zixin nodded and said, "The impact of this conference will be worldwide. It's a waste not to use this kind of publicity. We want to start a new computing era. What better time than this? "
"That's going to give them a big shock!" Su Zhirong said with a smile. Only the core members of the Red Team knew what kind of achievements they had obtained!
…
In the New Orleans Convention Center, members from the IEEE International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Computer Association were preparing to organize the latest Global Supercomputing Conference.
Every conference had a theme. The theme of this conference was to explore the development of new computers and artificial intelligence technology.
New computers referred to photon computers, biological computers, superconducting quantum computers, etc. Of course, the main focus was on superconducting quantum computers.
Artificial intelligence technology was needless to say. In recent years, as long as there was a conference about the computing industry, this topic would be included.
In a conference center, the core members from the two associations were discussing the preparation for the conference.
Although the IEEE International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers was a non-profit technology association with nearly 200 countries and hundreds of thousands of members. But most of its core members were from the United States.
Not to mention the American Computer Association, which was an authoritative organization in the United States.
"In this conference, other than researching and discussing computer technology and selecting the latest supercomputer, we have another important matter to attend." An important figure spoke. "Quantum computers have been developing rapidly in recent years. Recently, there has been a trend of large-scale commercialization of quantum computers."
"So at this meeting, we are going to vote on the relevant standards for quantum computers. Formulate an international unified quantum computer data standard! "
All the members had long known about this matter. Although their faces were calm, they had already made plans in their hearts.
The person continued, "There are a total of 16 universities, companies, and research institutions that have applied for the quantum computer standard this time. They will also be demonstrating during the conference. At that time, we will hold a large-scale voting campaign, so please be prepared. "
At the end of the meeting, some of the members even arranged to discuss this matter in private.
This standard vote was no small matter. This meant that in the future, all quantum computers in the world would be produced and manufactured according to the established standards. At the same time, it also meant that the core technology would be in the lead and even monopolized!
In the science and technology world, there was a saying that went, "First rate companies set technical standards, second rate companies make brands, and third rate companies sell products."
In the computer industry, international companies such as Intel, AMD, and Nvidia were the standard setters.
Traditional computer chips and computer machine production standards were inseparable from them. That was why they could openly expand their business to the whole world and overlook the rest of the world in the computer industry!
Just like in the previous telecommunications industry, Qualcomm, Apple, and Samsung were the standard setters. In the past, Hongxin and other Chinese companies were only product and brand operators.
Hongxin's Skynet project was successful, and they used chip technology to develop a new 6G communication standard, virtual projection technology standard, and reached the pinnacle of the telecommunications industry.
For the current computer industry, Hongxin Group was just a "novice" that had just stepped into the field. Intel and other companies were the game makers and couldn't be compared to each other.
"This Chinese company is also one of the quantum computer standards?" In an international hotel, a few core members of the American Computer Association and IEEE were discussing in private.
"Yes, Hongxin Group. A few months ago, they published a paper in the journal Science. They claimed to be able to control a superconducting quantum computer with 20 qubits and a superconducting quantum chip. " Someone replied, "That's why the association not only invited them to the conference, but also included them as one of the candidates."
This person was one of the vice presidents of the IEEE International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Internal Executive Committee, Toran Bell. He was an American and an honorary professor of electrical engineering at a famous American university.
"This is the first time that a Chinese company has been included as one of the candidates," said a member of the American Computer Association.
"Not only that, there are more Chinese companies and institutions participating in the conference this year." Someone frowned and said, "But we have fewer participants."
This represented the change in the power of the companies.
"Okay, let's talk about the voting," someone said, "Who should we vote for?"
Everyone silently thought about the candidates on the list. The first to be included was Intel's quantum computer standard, AMD, IBM, Stanford University's Quantum Research Laboratory, Canada's D-Wave Computer Company, Germany's Quantum Optics Institute, etc.
These people represented a significant portion of the voting. If they could reach a consensus, the voting results would not be too different.
"Of course it's Intel. I think they are the best in the field of quantum computers," said Toran Bell. Toran Bell said, "Intel has shown us their superconducting quantum computer, which can already achieve the performance of a supercomputer."
"I think the German institute's standards are stricter," someone said.
