"Kaifu, how's the Huanyu system going?"
After returning from Shenzhou Computer, Chen Yu went to the operating system department of Huanyu Technologies.
Li Kaifu was in charge of the system department.
"99% complete. It's currently in closed beta, but …"
"But what?"
"The closed beta may be a bit slow."
"Can it be done in a month?"
"Well …"
Li Kaifu was a bit embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "Not enough."
"Isn't it 99% complete?"
"Boss Chen, here's the thing."
Li Kaifu explained, "The operating system is a system engineering. Although we've completed 99% of the task, we've just started testing. As you know, the operating system is not like other software or games. As long as we test it, even if there are bugs, we can patch them later. Of course, the operating system can also be patched later, but if there are too many bugs in the operating system, it will be a big blow to the Huanyu system. "
With the launch of the netbook, the Huanyu system would debut globally for the first time.
How was the system? Were there many bugs? Was it easy to use? How was the experience?
This would affect the market share of the Huanyu system in the future.
If they couldn't hit the market in one go, with the terrifying monopoly power of Windows, the Huanyu system would be under a lot of pressure.
"We've already reached a cooperation with a professional closed beta company, but it will take at least three months."
In fact, this was already very fast.
If they didn't spend money to buy the existing Linux operating system, the Huanyu system wouldn't have been developed so quickly.
But even if they developed it now, they had to do a comprehensive test before it went on the market.
And this test was more stringent than the original Linux operating system.
The reason why it was more stringent was that the current Huanyu system would be used by a large number of ordinary users.
Once the user overused it, a series of bugs and loopholes would be exploited by hackers.
Although the outside world had always claimed that the Linux operating system was safer than Windows, this was only theoretical.
In fact, outside of large-scale use, a series of insecurities would be exposed.
The reason why not many hackers were interested in the Linux operating system was because the Linux operating system was too niche.
Even if some hackers studied the Linux operating system, it was impossible for them to reach the level of Windows.
One had to know that in the current Windows, even someone with a little bit of skill would use all sorts of methods to find bugs.
Regardless of whether they were professional or not, sometimes they would hit the mark by a stroke of luck, and a series of fatal flaws would be found by them.
Therefore.
For an operating system like this to be promoted to the general public, he had to undergo the most stringent testing.
However, the test couldn't be completed in a day. He needed a lot of time.
"Can you speed up?"
Chen Yu had a headache.
He had just made a promise to Wu Haijun, but in the blink of an eye, he dropped the ball.
"Yes."
Li Kaifu nodded. "If we can use a supercomputer."
"Supercomputer?"
Chen Yu suddenly understood.
That was right.
If it was just a normal test, this would of course be slow.
But with the help of a supercomputer, it would be countless times faster.
One had to know that for an ordinary computer, using a 1G CPU as an example, it would run about a billion times per second.
However, a supercomputer could reach 1 trillion operations per second.
Moreover, this was the data announced by Milky Way 4 in the year 2000.
It was now 2004, and it was said that the Milky Way 5 had been successfully developed in the country. It could operate 10 trillion times per second.
It was just like loading a map. An ordinary computer would take tens of seconds to load it.
The more awesome configuration only took a few seconds.
The server computer may only take one second.
As for the supercomputer … in his eyes, there was no option to load it.
At present, no matter how awesome the server-level computer was, in front of a supercomputer, it was still a little brother.
No, it's the little brother's little brother's little brother's little brother's little brother …
However, even though the supercomputer was awesome, it wasn't something that could be used just because one wanted to.
"Have we applied to the higher-ups?"
"Yes."
"Rejected?"
"No response."
This was normal.
Although Huanyu Technologies had achieved a certain level of success, things like supercomputers were generally not given to private companies.
Even if some state-owned enterprises wanted to use a supercomputer, they had to queue up again and again.
"Okay, pay up. Continue with the testing. I'll think of a way to get the supercomputer."
After leaving the operating system department, Chen Yu called Li Biqing.
"Dean, where are you?"
"West Lake."
"Dean, the company isn't on holiday. Why did you go to West Lake?"
"You brat, do you think I can go to work for you every day?"
"Haha, Dean, I'm just joking. I have something to talk to you about."
"I knew you didn't have good intentions. Speak, what's the matter?"
"You know about the supercomputer, right?"
Chen Yu asked Li Biqing.
"I know."
Li Biqing sighed. "I submitted the application, but it sank like a stone into the sea."
"Dean, how could this be? They didn't give you face?"
"Do you think my face is so useful?"
Li Biqing spread out his hands. "I'm just a small dean of Shencheng University, not the president of Peking University or Tsinghua University. My face can only help you poach people. But for this kind of thing, I can only pass a message. It would be strange if they gave me face."
"Dean, I always thought that you have a lot of connections."
"Brat, are you looking for a beating?"
"Don't, don't, don't …"
Chen Yu was naturally joking.
"That, dean, is there no other way?"
"Do you want me to give you some exercise?"
"How confident are you?"
"I don't know. I'll ask Old Yuan later."
Old Yuan was the president of Shencheng University.
Chen Yu felt that this matter was also uncertain. Suddenly, he said, "Dean, is there a supercomputer in the higher-ups?"
"It's not just the higher-ups. There's also a company that has it."
"Which company?"
"Lenovo."
"Lenovo?"
Chen Yu was a little confused.
Damn, Lenovo actually had a supercomputer?
Didn't this brat have no technical skills?
Why did they have a supercomputer?
For a time, Chen Yu didn't understand.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal.
Lenovo just didn't have many innovative technologies. In terms of strength, it was still very powerful.
Besides, Lenovo was also a state-owned enterprise. With the support of the higher-ups, it could naturally make its own supercomputer.
"Why don't you try Lenovo?"
Li Biqing said.
"Hehe …"
Chen Yu smiled bitterly.
Recently, they had been beating up Lenovo again and again.
This time, they had to ask for Lenovo's help. Yang Yuanqing's tail would fly to the sky.
Furthermore, they wouldn't agree.
Thinking about this, Chen Yu felt a little regretful.
He should have been gentler when he fought with Lenovo. Now, he was so ruthless. Lenovo was holding a grudge against him.
"Now you know Lenovo's strength."
Li Biqing scolded Chen Yu. "Companies like Lenovo are not easy to deal with. Didn't you always say that Lenovo doesn't have the technology and strength? Now, they are going to buy IBM's laptop business … "
"What, Dean, what did you just say?"
"I said Lenovo is not easy to deal with."
"Next sentence."
"Lenovo is about to reach an agreement with IBM to buy the laptop business."
"Yes, that's it."
Chen Yu nodded.
Now, he knew how to ask Lenovo for a supercomputer.
