Foreign media look at global supercomputers: the performance of the strongest computer in the EU is only 2.5% that of China.

  Reference News Network reported on April 4 that foreign media said that the famous Top 500 ranking shows which countries have the most powerful supercomputers in the world. The United States has kept its position as a powerful computer superpower, with China occupying the forefront, while Europeans without their own technical foundation can only be vassals of the United States.

  According to the website of Austrian Anti-Party Magazine reported on March 30th, German Konrad Zuse invented the computer in 1937 — — Z1。 He later completed the Z3 in 1941, which was the first programmable computer in the world. The transistor was first invented and patented by Europeans.

  People may think that the computer industry must be owned by Germany — — At least it is dominated by Europe. After all, the inventor was German — — Europeans. No, that’s not the case. In terms of computer hardware, Europe can be said to be unqualified.

  According to the report, the performance of supercomputers is expressed in units of floating-point operation speed per second (TFlop/s). The most powerful supercomputer in Europe is Piz Daint of Switzerland, which ranks eighth, with a speed of 7788.9 tflops/s. This computer, which belongs to Swiss National Supercomputing Center, is produced by American Cray Company.

  The United States is strong

  According to the report, American computers frequently appear in the top 100, occupying the 3rd, 7th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 19th-21st and many other positions. Since the x86 division of IBM responsible for supercomputers was sold to Lenovo in China in 2014, the current ranking of IBM computers (4th, 6th, 14th, 54th and 68th) is shared by China and the United States.

  The United States occupies 31 places in the top 100. Because the rankings of other countries that use American processors are not counted, this figure does not reflect the real strength of the American computer industry (specifically, the chip giant Intel).

  According to reports, most supercomputers in Japan use Fujitsu processors. So is Japan very independent? Not exactly. Fujitsu is an R&D and production partner of Intel. Therefore, Intel’s genes also promoted the development of Fujitsu processors.

  According to the report, Europeans have no ability to succeed on their own in supercomputer technology. The most powerful supercomputer in Europe must be purchased — — Buy from America. Apart from Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Britain and Germany are all customers of Cray. American computer companies do well in Europe. HP’s customers include Poland, France and Czech Republic.

  According to the report, there are also many computers in China in Europe. Lenovo and Huawei are famous Chinese brands in Europe. Italy and Germany are Lenovo’s customers. Lenovo has bought part of IBM’s computer business little by little in recent years. Therefore, in the past, the customers of "Blue Giant" became Lenovo’s customers. With the help of China — In the framework of cooperation between Central and Eastern Europe, Poland has become a close partner of China people, especially in the computer field. Poland’s supercomputers occupy the 48th, 90th and 92nd places in the top 100. The computer ranked 48th was purchased from Hewlett-Packard in the United States, but now it attaches great importance to cooperation with the United States and China.

  China processor is far ahead.

  The report said that in terms of supercomputers, China has not caught up with the United States — — But surpassed the United States. China occupies the 1st, 2nd, 42nd, 67th, 74th, 77th, 78th, 86th, 91st and 96th positions in the top 100 respectively. Tianhe-2, ranked second, still uses Xeon processors from the United States. Now this is a thing of the past.

  During this period, China people developed their own processors — — The Shenwei processor makes Intel’s Xeon look old. Top 500 ranked first in China Shenwei Taihu Lake Light, and its peak speed reached 125,435.9 tflops/s. The third-ranked American Cray Company’s supercomputer using AMD Opteron processor has a peak speed of "only" 27,112.5 tflops/s. This is roughly only 22% of the light of Taihu Lake in China.

  According to the report, the best supercomputer in the European Union is the Mistal in Hamburg (using American processors), which ranks 33rd, with a speed of 3,147.8 tflops/s, only 2.5% of the light of Taihu Lake. The most powerful computers in the European Union can only achieve 2.5% of the performance of China supercomputers by using American components.

  Now can you understand why Trump wants to make America great again? He is right to say so. In the field of computers, the technology of the United States is many light years ahead of that of Europe, but it is only ahead of Europeans, not China.

  Specifically, a giant battle, a battle between the United States and China, and a processor war between American chip giants AMD and Intel and Shenwei of China Jiangnan Computing Technology Research Institute have begun.

  According to the report, with the launch of processors such as Huawei Kunlun and FusionServer, another China company is also shaking the position of AMD and Intel. It should not be forgotten that Huawei and Intel have a technical cooperation relationship. With Intel’s genes, Huawei is now preparing to step out of Intel’s shadow and bathe in the sunshine of the computer industry independently.

  Europe’s achievements in the computer field are few and far between. Think about it, only such achievements can be achieved with American processors. In the field of computers, European technology is virtually the same as non-existence. This is a shame for Germany and Europe: they waste the advantages and great legacy created by people like Chuze.

Talk about innovation, talk about industry, and talk about the head of AI BAT appearing at the Zhibo Fair.

  On August 26th, the second China International Intelligent Industry Expo officially kicked off in Chongqing, and the mountain city once again set off a wave of intelligence. With the theme of "Empowering the economy and adding color to life", this year’s Zhibo Fair invited Nobel Prize winners, Turing Prize winners, leaders of the world’s top 500 companies and leading enterprises in the global big data intelligent industry to attend.

  Following the gathering of the last Zhibo Fair, Ma Yun, Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong, three Internet technology industry tycoons, will once again join hands to attend the fair, and put forward their views and imagination on the intelligent industry around the topics of "enterprise innovation", "industrial competition" and "artificial intelligence" at this year’s Zhibo Fair.

  The speeches of the three heads are full of personality. Ma Yun, who pays attention to sustainability, attaches great importance to the cultivation of the development source of innovative technology. In his speech, he proposed that "technology is developed, not regulated"; Ma Huateng, who is leading Tencent’s transformation, continues to speak for the industrial Internet, trying to attract more partners to make new "fist products" together; Li yanhong, a technical background, values AI landing, and his core views revolve around practicality and independent intellectual property rights.

  In the future, human beings will live by data.

  Ma Yun is one of the three entrepreneurs who has invested the most in education. In sharing, his views also revolve around the universal and sustainable development of people, cities and even technology, which is consistent with the concept of teaching without distinction and learning with each other in educational thought.

  Ma Yun’s speech started with social progress. He compared the difference between Chongqing and Silicon Valley, and thought that holding the Zhibo Fair in the southwest of China represented social progress. Regarding how the society will progress and how the city will develop in the future, Ma Yun borrowed from the residents in Guizhou mountainous areas to become a data annotator through data annotation training, creating a large number of employment cases, and proposed that in the future, human beings will live by data and find a place to communicate with data.

  In the current digital age, technology is playing a more beneficial and convenient positive role in regional development and personal growth. Ma Yun said that what leads the future is the wisdom of human beings behind intelligence, and suggested that "in the era of wisdom, technology and equipment should be spent on human progress and human feelings".

  Talking about macro-innovation, Ma Yun suggested that China has the opportunity to become a country on the Internet, but in comparison, there are not many enterprises like BAT, but fewer, and China should develop dozens of such enterprises. "We should not be afraid that innovative enterprises will become giants, but should worry that giants will not innovate."

  Ma Yun believes that the next 30 years will be an era of intelligence, and the modern service industry will become the dominant employment, the essence of which is the development of finance. Ma Yun talked about the three relationships of "intelligence+":in the era of intelligence, intelligent policies are needed, and all intelligent businesses must bear corresponding responsibilities. No one can be big without taking responsibility. He expects big enterprises and big innovations to contribute to solving social problems and future problems.

  Industrial competition has entered the era of "doubles"

  After a major organizational restructuring, Tencent has focused its business on developing the industrial Internet for a year. Ma Huateng’s speech at the Zhibo Fair mainly focused on the industrial structure, and the call for "doubles" released the signal that Tencent wanted to form an alliance with friends.

  Ma Huateng said that the main field of industrial competition is gradually changing from "singles" PK to "doubles" competition. The competition of physical industries is no longer a solo struggle, and various physical industries are combining with the information industry to form new partners to participate in the competition.

  Recently, Tencent has "rooted in the consumer Internet and embraced the industrial Internet", hoping to become an assistant for digital transformation and upgrading in all walks of life. Taking automobiles as an example, Ma Huateng mentioned that the automobile industry is facing a great change that has never happened in a century. The application of 5G technology, the landing of artificial intelligence, the replacement of new energy, and the governance of smart cities are promoting cross-border cooperation, especially the integration and innovation of information industry and automobile industry, and building a new car networking ecosystem.

  Ma Huateng believes that in the past few decades, the rapid development of China’s economy and industry mainly benefited from the extension expansion. In the next few decades, China must exert its innovation potential to achieve high-quality development. Therefore, today’s China industry needs more fighting spirit. "In the face of economic transformation and industrial upgrading, we need to constantly stimulate the innovation potential and create more fist products."

  Li yanhong

  Artificial intelligence can no longer "show off skills"

  The in-depth layout of artificial intelligence has always been the core strength of Baidu. "Artificial intelligence no longer pays attention to coolness, but pays attention to solid promotion and implementation." At the Zhibo Fair, Li Yanhong shared three suggestions on promoting and landing artificial intelligence based on the observation of the application and development of artificial intelligence technology.

  First, we should pay attention to safety and efficiency. Li Yanhong pointed out that from the perspective of safety and cost, the low-speed L4 in the driverless field will be realized before the high-speed L3. The reason why Baidu slowed down the speed is to ensure safety.

  Second, I hope to speed up the construction of infrastructure. Li Yanhong, who once worked on Wall Street, has a personal experience of Sino-US competition in science, technology and commerce. Focusing on the different development directions in the field of autonomous driving, he pointed out that China and the United States actually have considerable competition. The United States places more emphasis on bicycle intelligence, while China has advantages in infrastructure, and can add many devices on the roadside to improve safety and efficiency.

  The third is to make full use of open source and open platform. Li Yanhong said that China’s open source platform started relatively late, but it played a vital role in the development of artificial intelligence. He believes that the industry should fully realize that open source does not mean that everything is free, but self-controllable, and many open source things still need to be in the hands of others.

The U.S. Defense Secretary visited Israel, saying that the war will transition from "large-scale fighting to low-intensity conflict."

On December 18th, 2023, in Tel Aviv, Israel, US Secretary of Defense Austin arrived in Israel for talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister galante. Pengpai image map
According to the Reference News, Reuters reported on December 18th, officials said that US Secretary of Defense lloyd austin arrived in Israel for talks on December 18th, local time. It is expected that the focus of the talks will be Israel’s final end of the high-intensity war in Gaza and its transition to a more limited and precise conflict.
Austin said that during the meeting, he had discussed with Israeli Defense Minister galante how to reduce the harm to civilians, and mentioned that the war would transition from "large-scale fighting to low-intensity conflict". "Any campaign will have several stages, and we will continue to urge (Israel) to protect civilians during the conflict and increase humanitarian assistance into Gaza."

According to previous reports, a senior U.S. Defense Department official accompanying Austin said that Austin discussed Israel’s transition plan to the next stage of the war in his talks with senior leaders such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister galante. The official said: "The high-intensity ground operations and air strikes you have seen will not last forever. This is just one stage of the war. "
In addition, it is also reported that US officials expect that Israel may gradually adopt a low-intensity and localized war strategy before January next year, including targeting specific militants and leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). A senior U.S. Department of Defense official said on the 17th that Israeli security agencies are evaluating the necessary conditions for entering the next phase of the conflict, and Austin hopes to listen to Israel’s "clear explanation" of these conditions.

Some analysts said that Austin’s visit can be called "a delicate balancing act". Because Netanyahu’s violent bombing of Gaza has triggered strong global protests and ceasefires, Biden’s government is facing increasing pressure at home and abroad. Although the United States is still providing weapons and diplomatic support to Israel, in recent times, with the increasing casualties, the attitude of the US government towards the Netanyahu government has become more tough. According to previous reports, US President Joe Biden said last week that Israel’s "indiscriminate" bombing would lead to the country’s risk of losing international support.
