Henry''s illness, the world surging, Henry''s listed company''s share price plummeted, followed by a series of domino reactions, leading to the global stock also fell!
Seven days later, the news of Henry''s safe recovery came out, and the global stock price rose slowly.
The front page headline of the Wall Street Journal read: "Henry Williams can''t be sick. He''s sick. The whole wall street will be shocked!"
ABC TV invited two experts and professors to analyze the illness of Henry Williams. One expert and professor said solemnly: "if Henry Williams dies, it will definitely lead to the world economic crisis! I''m sure it will
Another expert nodded and said, "yes, I agree with Professor Brown very much. What he said is very reasonable..."
……
After reading the newspaper and watching the TV news, Henry couldn''t help shaking his head in silence. "These newspapers or experts and professors are alarmist. I''m just sick, which can cause so much noise!"
At this moment, after getting Henry''s order, Harrison immediately sent someone to collect the information of the world''s best supercomputer R & D company. Later, Harrison sorted out the information and sent it to Henry''s email.
Henry had two beauties with him, but he enjoyed them all.
"Helen, you bring your notebook. Harrison just sent me an email!"
"Well..."
Henry took the notebook from Helen, turned it on, entered the e-mail, and then saw the information sent by Harrison.
"Supercomputer company summary"
Henry opened it and began to browse.
Henry browsed quickly, almost at a glance. After a minute or two, Henry finished reading the information.
This information is the same as what he remembered.
IBM takes the leading position, followed by HP, and Cray clay!
According to this information, Cray controlled the whole supercomputer market and occupied the peak position for five years (1985-1990). However, due to the development of IBM and HP, Cray seized the market share by constantly annexing its competitors. Cray has also been affected by this, and its market share has declined by a large margin!
Cray is a very powerful company in Henry''s memory.
It went bankrupt in the early years, and then developed again. It is very powerful in technology. The supercomputer developed by Cray company has more powerful performance and better energy efficiency ratio than IBM and HP companies! IBM may be the company that makes the most supercomputers, but Cray is definitely the company that makes the most supercomputers!
Coincidentally, Cray once built a supercomputer called Jaguar, which is the same name as yadali''s new 64 bit supercomputer. It was the fastest supercomputer in the world from November 2009 to June 2010, and was later replaced by Tianhe-1A. In 2012, Cray improved on the basis of Jaguar, and again produced the world''s fastest supercomputer Titan!
What''s more, Cray was finally acquired by Silicon Graphics in 1994. Now, if you buy Cray, it''s a return?
Cray company was overtaken in the 1990s. It was not Cray company''s technology that was not good, but IBM and HP were both developing too fast. These two companies were rich owners. Under the crazy acquisition, their technology and market belonged to them. Cray company could only express its helplessness!
So Henry then called Harrison and asked him to buy Cray.
Harrison received Henry''s instructions to launch an immediate acquisition of Cray. Cray is now living a very difficult life. In the face of IBM and HP, its market share has plummeted to less than 10%. According to the current trend, Cray''s market share will continue to decline!
Cray is in urgent need of a solution to the current dilemma!!!
At this time, Williams electronics company threw "olive branch" to Cray company, which is undoubtedly an opportunity!
Since Cray can be acquired by Silicon Graphics, how can it refuse Williams Electronics?
Before long, Cray said it would accept the acquisition of Williams electronics. Williams electronics completed the entire acquisition plan with only $500 million.
As soon as the news came out, newspapers reported: "Cray, a very famous supercomputer manufacturing company in the United States, has turned to Williams electronics and is expected to return to its peak in the future!"
IBM and HP were shocked when they received the news.
Most orders for supercomputers come from government agencies or scientific research institutions. Usually, IBM and HP are more likely to get orders.
But now Cray is merged into Williams electronics, and that''s a problem.
Williams electronics is not a vegetarian either. His boss, Henry Williams, has a much closer relationship with the U.S. government than IBM, HP and the U.S. government. Many industries under the name of Henry Williams deal with the government. It can be said that Henry Williams has penetrated the American government very seriously!
IBM and HP can not help but feel a deep sense of urgency, but also a sense of helplessness. Previously, they used the power of capital to suppress Cray. Now, I''m afraid Cray will call back in the same way
Williams electronics has more money than IBM and HP, and its subsidiary Cisco has ranked first in the global market value. As long as it is willing to support Cray, Cray will soon develop.
In fact, Cray''s development is far beyond the imagination of IBM and HP
Henry in order to save himself, he will spare no effort to build the strongest supercomputer!!!
……
……
Henry stayed in the hospital for another week and then left the hospital. When he left hospital, Henry shivered when he saw the reluctant eyes of Hilton Dean. Scientists are so crazy that Dean Hilton has obviously regarded himself as a mouse in scientific research
If it wasn''t for my special identity, maybe I would put it in the lab to slice and play!
"Mr. Williams, since you insist on leaving the hospital, I''ll arrange a special nurse to take care of you, OK?"
"It''s better not to. You know, I can''t let ordinary people know about my illness!" Henry politely refused.
"It''s OK. This super nurse is my granddaughter. She''s 18 years old. She comes from a medical family with high professional level and outstanding appearance. Most importantly, she will keep a secret!" Dean Hilton came close to Henry and whispered, "besides, Mr. Williams, you need professional care at all times..."
"Well, thank you..." Henry thought about it and nodded. Indeed, in case of their own good or bad, there are professional nurses for emergency treatment.
Hilton president smell speech, face Happy said: "well, I will arrange my granddaughter to come as soon as possible!"
"Well!" Henry answered, and then took leave of Hilton.
Henry got into a black Rolls Royce limousine and left the hospital quickly. He asked the driver to drive to Williams electronics.
At the moment, Harrison and Cray founder Seymour clay are discussing how to build a powerful supercomputer!
When he learned that Henry was coming, Harrison and his party rushed to the company gate to meet him.
Henry got out of the car, glanced at the crowd and saw a strange face.
Harrison pointed to Moses clay and said to Henry, "Chairman, this is Dr. Moses clay, the founder of Cray company."
"Oh, Hello, Dr. Moses clay. Nice to meet you!" Henry laughed and reached out to shake his hand.
Moses clay quickly and respectfully shook hands with Henry and said, "me too. Nice to meet you, Mr. Williams!"
"Ha ha, go in and have a chat. Don''t stand here!" Henry laughs and walks into the company first.
Harrison, Moses clay and others joined the company with Henry.
After a while, I came to the chairman''s office.
After everyone sat down, Henry looked at Moses clay and asked with a smile, "Dr. Moses clay, has Harrison told you that I want to build the fastest supercomputer in the world?"
Moses clay nodded: "it has been said that before you came, we were talking about manufacturing solutions."
Henry only knows a little about supercomputers. He knows that supercomputers are composed of hundreds, thousands or even more processors, which can calculate large and complex tasks that ordinary PC and server can''t complete. Supercomputers are not so simple as piling up a large number of CPU, memory and other hardware, which should be applied to a variety of "soft" and "hard" technologies, such as parallel access file system, data partition, non-uniform access memory model, cooling and so on. In other words, the core technology of supercomputer is architecture!
China''s Tianhe-1 and tianhe-2 are ranked first in the world''s supercomputer rankings, which shows that China''s technological level is OK. However, in terms of effective computing efficiency, it is a bit poor. Cray company, however, has a strong technology in terms of both computing speed and effective computing efficiency.
Henry didn''t ask anything too complicated. Although supercomputers are not simply stacked processors, processors are the key to supercomputers. No processor, no supercomputer.
Henry looked at Harrison and asked, "have MIPS processors been developed yet? If you want to make a supercomputer, you''d better use our own high-performance MIPS processor
MISP processor is designed based on RISC reduced instruction set. Henry knows that RISC Machine is more suitable for special purpose machine because RISC instruction system is related to specific application field; CISC machine is more suitable for general purpose machine. The supercomputer Henry is going to develop will be specially used in medical computing. It''s best to use MISP processor!
Moreover, even high-end servers almost all use RISC instruction system CPU.
Thus, Henry''s choice of MISP processor is quite correct.
When Harrison heard this, he said to Henry, "the development progress of MIPs processor has reached four fifths. In another month, samples will be produced!"
Henry listened and nodded with satisfaction.
"But..." Harrison looked at Henry and said, "Chairman, although we have our own wafer factory, which can make processors, we don''t have our own packaging and testing factory. In addition, the scale of the wafer factory also needs to be expanded, so we should choose a new place to build the factory! "
Henry thought about it and asked, "where do you think is the best place to build a factory?"
"Taiwan Hsinchu Science and Technology Park"! "
