Arcane Lord

However, Xia Duo only gave a little reminder. He knew that Niya didn't like to work overtime, but she just wanted to lead a major update of Mystery Lock.

"Don't do this next time. Let the others go back and rest first. I'm here to tell you some good news."

"Um."

Niya turned around and called the assistants who were still busy to get off work. After that, she and Sha Duo walked to the temporary resting place in the corner of the laboratory and asked curiously:

"What good news made you come here to inform me?"

"The alliance's public computing power resource pool has been connected to the grid for testing. Do you think this is good news? My dear wife, as the person in charge of the computing power pool project, I now invite you to become a non-staff tester of the project. Please enjoy testing. Bar!"

Before the initial establishment of the public computing power pool, Xia Duo also shared the Alliance's Lingsi Network with Niya, but after all, the scale was limited and could only be used to inspire inspiration, and it was slightly worse in other aspects.

But now the Lingsi network with a scale of nearly 7,000 mages, whether it is inspiration or pure computing power, far exceeds the previous level. Even if Sha Duo has driven away all the assistants in Niya's laboratory, he still relies on the public The computing power pool conducts a comprehensive review of past research and plans for further research.

The so-called "non-staff testers" were able to stretch Niya's authority to use the public computing power pool to the limit, which was far beyond her reach before.

Previously, the main body of the Lingsi Network was the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, as well as some mage volunteers. Most of the computing power needed to be provided to the researchers of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

Even if Xia Duo can get a lot of shares, even if all these shares are given to Niya, it is actually very limited.

Now, in the name of testing, Niya can completely monopolize most of the surplus computing power. Such an opportunity may only be available before the computing power pool is put into formal operation.

When it is officially put into operation, the balance of payments and benefit distribution issues must be considered. The excess computing power will be packaged into additional computing power pool permissions for sale to the outside world, and eventually converted into gold coins to subsidize various countries.

The most important thing is that regulatory personnel sent by various countries will also enter the venue. Then it will not be so convenient to operate like this.

Of course, not being so convenient does not mean that it is gone. In order to ensure the most basic bonus effect of the public computing power pool, a part of the computing power redundancy must be retained. This part does not need to be included in the regulatory data in actual operations.

But over time, it is still a large number. Whether it is for internal benefits of Lingsi Network Research Center or for personal use, it is the person in charge, Xia Duo, who has the final say.

Xia Duo has not yet fully figured out how to operate it. He only has an idea that is not clear yet. After all, computing power is not an apple on the tree. If you don’t eat it today, you can leave it to tomorrow.

Computing power is a special resource generated in real time. If it is not used at the time, it will be invalidated later. In this regard, it is a bit like power, and power can be rent-seeking. The computing power pool is essentially the optimal allocation of computing power at the spatial level.

Eighty of the one hundred mage users can have spare computing power. If there is no computing power pool, then their computing power will be wasted. But now that they are connected to the computing power pool, they can not only satisfy themselves, but also Make it available to others.

Even if the bonus effect for each accessor is added, there is still a lot of surplus computing power in general. This part of the surplus computing power can be completely converted into a bonus effect for each accessor, and can also be used to Do other things.

However, since the number and quality of mages connected to the computing power pool at the same time are uncertain, if all the surplus computing power is evenly distributed, on the one hand, some mages will not be able to use it at all, and on the other hand, the bonus effect will be unstable.

Instability is very affecting the mentality, so Xia Duocai decided to adopt a relatively fixed bonus effect, and use the remaining excess computing power for redundancy or other purposes.

This is the role of the computing power pool in integrating resources and optimizing allocation at the spatial level. At the time level, although it cannot be directly postponed, it is not without tricks.

It just so happens that Xia Duo has this knowledge!

On Earth, there is something called cloud computing, or distributed computing. Simply put, it is to distribute a computing task to multiple computers in the network to improve efficiency.

What's more important is to be able to make full use of the spare computing power of every computer in the network.

It is true that computing power can only be allocated at the spatial level and cannot be directly used later. However, smart people on earth have discovered that many calculation problems are repeated. So, can these repeated problems be collected and then calculated again in the future? What about calling the result directly?

is allowed!

And calling the results directly is far more efficient than calculating directly! This leaves room for arbitrage for cloud computing service providers.

The fees they provide are still settled by direct calculation, but they actually use a more efficient method, so that the computing power saved at the same time can be sold to other people or used for other purposes!

The surplus computing power is not postponed for use, but a part of the surplus is squeezed out from the current computing power pool through more efficient methods (algorithms).

This method can also be used in public computing power pools designed based on Linsi Network, but Xia Duo has no idea how to implement it.

After all, if you really want to realize such a function, it is basically equivalent to creating a programming language based on Lingsi Network, or the law of order.

This is a little easier than the development and manufacture of general-purpose magic computers. It does not require any super-high-end hardware support, just a basic psychic network is enough, and it is within the scope of Xia Duo's expertise, which is very critical.

Xia Duo didn't have a particularly deep understanding of electronic computers. It would be too difficult to invent a magic computer. It would be almost equivalent to starting from scratch, but programming language was different. It was almost like a meal.

He is confident that he can figure out the programming language based on the psychic network (subliminal information, meta-thinking) before the invention of the magic computer!

Of course, he didn't know exactly when it would be completed. The most difficult part of this matter was the first step - making a meta-thinking compiler. With this compiler, the follow-up would be a matter of course.

…

When Niya accessed the public computing power pool to sort out past research and experiments, Shaduo once again thought of the psionic mages in the south. The alliance had mentioned before that several psionic mages would be invited to join the Lingsi Network Research Center. .

Of course, it was not an invitation directly from Zhamdas in the south, but an invitation from a psychic magic society in Everriska. In the past, psychic magic was not respected in the North. Only Everriska was neutral and open. Only some places can be reserved.

Sha Duo is looking forward to this very much.
