The review Committee will not consider whether the messenger is convenient. Their first consideration is whether the supercomputer is convenient.
Long design and construction cycle, the world’s top technology and price, a supercomputer is as precious as a warship, and all the time and work arrangements have to follow its nature.
When Chen Xi installed the software, all the data were quietly hidden in the running meteorological data, and the G meter flow per second made its hard disk flash like a warning light, but it didn’t attract people’s attention.
There is always buzzing noise in the computer center, which makes people uneasy.
As a data researcher, with a cup of coffee in his face, he muttered, "Working overtime in the morning is the most boring and slow."
The monitoring computer expert nearby looked at it and said, "Add two more sets of CPU."
He said, and immediately began to work.
Supercomputers such as "Siren" belong to the scalable cabinet-expanding structure, which is as big as a square. There are several metal cabinets with a height of more than two meters, which contain processors, hard disks and so on.
If necessary, other workers need to plug wires and data cables into the metal cabinet to improve its performance.
This is a common design, which can not only prolong the life of thousands of components of supercomputers, but also save money-a computer center is a vomiting blood every year.
Now it is found that the calculation of "siren" requires the promotion of workers, and they will not think twice about adding two sets of processors first and then six sets.
The performance of "Siren" may be degraded due to the erosion of different operation methods. No one knows that "Siren" is busy with the "flash trading" test at this time.
"Flash trading" has been suspected by all parties from the first day of its birth. It is a typical advanced trading, just like an illegal broker. When he receives a customer’s instruction to buy a stock from the market at a price not higher than $1, the broker buys it himself at 97 and then sells it to his customer at $1 to cheat $3.
The difference is that flash trading doesn’t need to cheat customers in violation of regulations. It’s a bulk advantage, which comes from the time difference between super-advanced equipment and exchange equipment.
For example, the Op-Tymark trading system of the Pacific Futures Exchange has made the supercomputer a leading producer among the major exchanges, but it still lags behind the "siren". Even so, the trading system has to bear millions of instructions per second at the same time, resulting in the result that after receiving trading instructions at the same time, quite a supercomputer can see the market information first about 3 seconds.
It’s like seeing the next three seconds.
This is the fantasy event caused by science and technology in the real world.
At 3 am in Central Standard Time Zone, the computing power of "Siren" gradually picked up.
The administrator is too lazy to get up and turn off the extra CPU after drinking coffee.
On the other side of the globe, Chen Yi and Xiao Mei clapped their hands to celebrate the successful installation of the "Flash Trading" program and the success of the first round of testing.
"If you want to see the deal, sleep." Chen Yi is not shy about telling her little sister, "No one can say anything about computers, including mom."
"White" little sister showed a firm look like the squadron leader of the Young Pioneers
Chen Yi looked at his watch and said, "The time difference between us and new york is 13 hours, so the transaction is about 2: 3 pm."
Chen Xi couldn’t help it, but Tang Xiongfei carefully asked, "Mr. Chen, I have recruited a trader here, and there seems to be $10,000 in other accounts."
"If one is enough, practice with the $10,000 first." Where is the money for Chen Yi’s cash-strapped?
Tang Xiongfei blinked and said that after he closed his head, he couldn’t understand what the new york stock market could do with $10,000. Let alone a supercomputer, which rents for more than $10,000 a day.
Chen Yi didn’t care if he went back to his room and fell asleep.
When the alarm clock rings, he drinks the energy recovery potion like a drug and then slowly hits himself in the brain.
Little sister quietly pushed the door and came in, sneaking around holding her notes and suppressing excitement. "Is second brother really going to Nasdaq to stock up?"
"You can go to the American stock exchange," Chen Yishi was also excited, but he pretended to be calm. "We will go to the futures market after we have more money on hand. Anyway, it is a sure-fire transaction."
Little sister’s head is like pounding rice. "If you lose money, there is something wrong with the French software."
When she spoke, she had already connected the "siren" through the broiler.
American traders have to link her brain first and then link broilers and siren.
This way will inevitably slow down the original dominant speed and change it to the minimum requirement. Mainframes naturally suffer a lot, but for supercomputers of this level, it is more than enough to process into batch trading information without adding about 1 second to one second, compared with 3 seconds ago.
In fact, the fact that investment banks set supercomputers on Wall Street is ostensibly to compete for shorter losses, but the essence is reduced.
It is impossible for them to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the most advanced supercomputers. Businessmen finally choose a supercomputer that can process transaction information in 25 seconds or even 27 seconds, and they can pay millions of dollars less in fixed capital investment for every second saved in communication cable.
Compared with Wall Street, the high land price is nothing at all.
Chen Yi, while reviewing his knowledge of supercomputers, typed a letter to optimize the software. There are not many things that he needs to deal with here, except for inputting a small amount of company information such as bank accounts, and most of them are left to watch the computer play.
In order to succeed in the millimeter battle, the software body will also strongly resist people joining.
This is simply a technological war.
