I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 265: A Little Princess Lives Deep in My Heart (First Update 4000)

Fang Yu, who had just finished a war situation analysis meeting with Lu Xuechang, felt something was wrong when he returned to Hanning Mansion.

"This ball isn't watching TV!?"

I touched the back of the LCD TV and it was cold.

Looking at the grapefruit shining silver on the concave stone pillar in the living room, Fang Yu felt as pleased as a parent seeing his child doing homework when he comes home.

Youzi specifically asked Fang Yu to bring back the stone pillar where it had been staying in the Lorraine Tower, and Fang Yu even specially covered the concave top with a layer of velvet.

Otherwise, every time the grapefruit fell on it, there would always be a snapping sound, and sometimes there would be a squeaking sound when it moved, which made Fang Yu's scalp tingle.

The silver light composed of bright silver spots inside the pomelo's body flickers like the stars, indicating that pomelo is very focused.

Fang Yu didn't disturb it. He turned back to the basement and began to meditate.

The underground meditation room was built by Fang Yu completely according to the specifications of the paid meditation room in the Lorraine Tower.

The wooden door of the meditation room is very heavy, and there is a miniature magic circle on the inside of the door. After embedding 6 1-unit magic crystals, this magic circle for simple protection and complete silence can be activated.

Six 6-unit magic crystals can support the magic circle on standby for ten years.

The meditation room is not big, with only less than ten square meters of space. There are six obsidian pillars placed on the ground, forming a hexagon. The ground within the hexagon is inlaid with colorless transparent crystal chips.

In the middle of these chips is a leather-like cushion.

In mid-air, dozens of pure silver rings of various sizes were suspended from flowing silver lines hanging from the ceiling. Some of the silver rings were embedded in each other, forming an extremely complex three-dimensional magic array.

This is the standard meditation circle of the Great Arcane Age - the Whistler Circle.

The Whistler Array can stabilize the magic network energy of nearby magic network nodes, thereby increasing meditation efficiency by 20 to 30 percent.

Fang Yu sat on the cushion and entered into meditation skillfully. The circular rings around him that were originally swaying slightly due to the airflow suddenly stopped swaying as if they were fixed by something, and emitted a buzzing high-frequency vibration.

The magic net energy, which was originally not stable, began to become more and more stable after several circulations along the silver rings hanging in the air, and was then absorbed by Fang Yu in the center of the magic circle. When the magic power was absorbed to the limit, a part of it would quietly merge into Fang Yu's sea of ​​consciousness, secretly increasing the total capacity of this sea.

"Huh~ My magic power should be 390 now, almost reaching 400." Fang Yu estimated the total amount of magic power in his body.

When casting spells without using the Rubik's Cube, Fang Yu defines the magic power required for a 1-level spell as 0 unit.

A 1st-level spell requires 6 units of mana, a 2nd-level spell requires 12 units, and at 3rd-level spells, the mana required for each spell begins to differ.

Spells like Fireball only require 24 units of mana, but spells like Protective Field consume up to 32 units of mana.

Fang Yu actually has more magic power than he can use up every day. If it weren't for increasing his magic power limit, there would be no need for him to meditate three times a day.

After the meditation ended, I returned to the living room and saw that the silver starlight on Yuzu's body had turned into a band of light, which was spinning rapidly inside Yuzu's body.

Ouch, is this running at full power?

How come this ball is so hard?
It doesn't look like it.

This kind of full-power operation is very taxing for Yuzu. After each operation, it will be sluggish for a day or two, so Yuzu generally does not start this state.

Fang Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a while. The silver light on Yuzi's body slowly faded and turned into a light yellow light again.

"Success! I finally succeeded! Hahahahahaha, the chipset design and architecture roadmap were completed on schedule! And three hours ahead of schedule. Professor Yorz is indeed the greatest genius in the entire plane!"

Huh? This ball is actually doing chip and architecture design?
Three hours early?
I didn't set a time limit for him.

Fang Yu didn't quite believe that Youzi was really doing something serious just now. He was still wondering how many times he should shock this guy if he came up with a collection of hot and beautiful moments.

"Huh? Master, you're back?" Seeing Fang Yu in the living room, Youzi was startled and his face flashed with guilt.

Fang Yu felt even more that something was wrong.

"Have you come up with a design?" Fang Yu remained calm. "What is the specific plan?"

"Master, please wait a moment. I will print it out for you." Yuzi looked like a servile boy, and the Lexmark CX923dte printer next to him printed out dozens of pages of A4 paper.

"This is the first chip designed by Orange Model and I. It uses the newly designed guangyuan architecture." Youzi did not introduce the chip first, but talked about the newly constructed motherboard architecture first. There was a yellow light flashing on his body, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"guangyuan?" Fang Yu thought about it for a moment and understood what it meant. It was the place where oranges were produced.

"Under the Guangyuan architecture, it can support up to 120 TFLOPS double-precision computing power, can support up to 4 chips in parallel, supports 128G of DDR4 memory, and uses the Y-Link dedicated data bus interface to provide 256G of bandwidth to support high-speed communication between chips and between chips and other components of the motherboard."

Fang Yu looked through the information.

The Guangyuan architecture developed by Youzi is highly specialized and is only suitable for its matching OrangeCore large-scale computing chip.

"The Orange Core is a large-size chip of 500 square millimeters. A standard wafer with a diameter of 300 millimeters can produce 106 chips. It has built-in instruction sets for the Pomelo framework and the Orange large model-specific instruction sets. It has corresponding instruction sets to support large-scale rectangular operations, nonlinear activation functions, and convolution operations."

"After calculation, we found that there is no need for a multi-core design at present, so the Orange Core is a single-core chip."

"The Orange Core is equipped with high-speed cache and high-bandwidth memory interface to support efficient data transfer. The memory architecture is optimized for the memory requirements of large-scale deep learning models, ensuring that data can reach the computing unit in the shortest time possible."

"Because the entire chip adopts a highly simplified design, it can focus more on the accuracy and efficiency of calculations. When performing inference calculations on the Orange large model, the double-precision computing power can reach 25TFLOPS per core."

! ! ! !
Compared with M60, it is more than 15 times improved!

The computing power of the P100 announced by NVIDIA should only be increased by three times!

"The main advantage of Orange Core is the systematic simplification of its architecture. Although the use of a lower process will further improve computing power, due to the bottleneck of other hardware devices, the computing power of a single chip of 25TFLOPS is already the limit, and there is no need to reduce the process. Therefore, the first Orange Core processor still uses the mature 60-nanometer process."

Wocao Wocao!

60nm?

This should have been the process five or six years ago, right?
Maturity is good, because it saves costs.

The foundry cost of a 300mm diameter 60nm wafer at TSMC is about 3000 dollars, and the material cost is about 700 dollars, which averages out to about 35 dollars per chip.

Including packaging and other costs, if controlled reasonably, the cost of a single chip can be controlled within 50 yuan!

Of course, this is just the production and manufacturing cost. The actual chip production still has to include R&D and management costs.

But I don’t have the R&D costs!

Wait, did I see that wrong?

What is the power consumption marked on this drawing? 23 watts? 41 watts under extreme load?
"Yes, Master, the power consumption is indeed that high." Yuzu leaned over to take a look and said proudly, "I have calculated this power consumption figure several times, and it is definitely not wrong."

"Due to the use of modular computing and fuzzy computing principles, the power consumption of Orange Core is 60W under the 23nm process. If the 14nm process is used, the power consumption should be controlled within 10W, but it is not necessary."

Wow grass, wow grass, wow grass!

Is this how the biggest cost is saved?
What is AI ultimately competing for?
It's energy!
It's electricity!

Take M60 as an example. The power consumption of a chip is 300w. Taking into account other miscellaneous hardware, the average power consumption of a chip is about 420w.

This does not include another major electricity consumer - the cooling system.

If it is a computing center with one thousand chips, the daily electricity consumption will be at least 25,000 kWh!

According to the industrial electricity price of 0.635 yuan, the daily electricity bill would be less than 20,000 yuan.

But now, the maximum power consumption has been reduced, the heat has been reduced, and the cooling cost will also be reduced accordingly. The daily power consumption of a computing center with 1000 orange cores can definitely be controlled within degrees!

No, if there are only 1000 chips, Orange Core can connect four chips in parallel, with one motherboard supporting four chips. Using immersion cooling technology, the power consumption can be even lower!
In May, after Youzi has completed the distribution of the underlying rules of the Orange model, we will release part of the architecture as open source. When the whole world starts using this architecture, we can use chips for secondary harvesting!
One fish, two meals a day, so delicious.

"Master..." Seeing that Fang Yu was in a good mood, Youzi cautiously asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be improved?"

Fang Yu was in a very good mood indeed. Although he hadn't figured out what he was going to do after mastering the world's AI, it felt good to be the boss behind the scenes.

It feels as good as the emperor's secret visit.

Normally, he would have fun with the people, flirt with decent women, etc. But when he encountered local tyrants and evil gentry, a royal guard would come up and take out a gold medal, "How dare you! The emperor is here! Who dares to be so presumptuous!"

Then came the well-received plot of the honest and upright judge, with heads rolling down the spine of the local tyrants and evil gentry, the people shouting "Long live the emperor", and he just laughed and took good women as concubines into the palace.

By then, we will create an artificial intelligence with level 23 authority. The lowest level is 23, which is the servant level. Among those with level 17 and 8 authority, there will definitely be evildoers. When he made the idiotic remark "I have level 17 authority, from the Long family, a family with level 15 authority, what level are you?", his subordinates inadvertently showed their level or authority, which immediately shocked everyone.

It feels good to think about it.

"Not bad." Fang Yu praised Youzi and said casually, "Look, as long as you concentrate, you can do it pretty fast. The distributed rule shouldn't take until May, right?"

Yuzu choked, "Uh, Master, I'll try my best."

huh huh?
Why is the ball so easy to talk to today?
"Master, I, I have a request..." Yuzu's body glowed with shyness, "Can you take me to the Westin for dinner on Sunday... Sunday night?"

As soon as Fang Yu saw the color on Youzi's body, he knew that this ball was becoming infatuated with him again.

Westin dinner? What do you eat with a ball?

"I won the special prize in the lottery under Repa's Weibo, and I can have dinner with her at the Westin Restaurant in Haixi on Sunday..."

The pink color on the pomelo became darker and darker, and was almost turning red.

Special prize? Weren't you blocked by Reba?

Fang Yu intuitively felt that something was wrong.

Not to mention the probability of winning the special prize, even if you really win the special prize, how could the special prize be dining alone with a female star in a five-star hotel?
Let’s have dinner anyway.

And what a coincidence, the location is in Haixi.

Haixi is not an entertainment center city, and not many celebrities come here every year. If it is said that celebrities come to Haixi just to have dinner with fans, it would be too cheap for them.

"I will definitely not say anything or move around! I promise!" Seeing that Fang Yu hadn't said anything, Youzi quickly expressed her determination, "I just want to take a closer look at her. She's really beautiful. Okay, Master~"

After saying this, Youzi still felt that Fang Yu might not agree, so she conjured a pitiful crying face on the sphere.

"Okay, then I'll go with you on Sunday." Fang Yu blinked.

"Yeah!" Yuzu rolled around the house excitedly.

Sugar-coated bullet or Hongmen Banquet?
Who cares? No matter what she’s up to, return the medicine and leave the meat gourd to me!
Eh? So am I cheating on you? Isn't that a bad idea?
"Yuzi, you were created by Sekalis. Did he create a gender for you?" Fang Yu suddenly remembered that he had never asked Yuzi this question.

Yuzu was stunned: "Master, I am an arcane life. Arcane life has no gender. The spirituality in my body comes from the spiritual sea of ​​the astral world. The spiritual sea is the ocean of the spirituality of all creatures, regardless of gender."

"So what gender do you think you are? In other words, if you were turned into a human, what gender would you choose?" Fang Yu persisted.

Yuzi's body flashed pink, and she said shyly: "Master, why are you asking this? I just want to be a little princess living in a castle~"

vomit~
What a little princess living in a castle.

Fang Yu almost vomited.

No wonder you love soap operas so much.

"Then why do you only like female stars? Why don't you like male stars?" Fang Yu was puzzled.

"Because female stars are pretty." Yuzu's eyes flickered, and she was quite puzzled. "Don't girls all love beauty? And Reba has mostly female fans."

Okay, okay, forget it.

It seems like there's a little princess living deep inside you.

If you keep asking, you'll have to come up with 52 more genders. (Note 1) I'll check it out later to see if there's a gender that has a little princess inside.

Note 1: Eight years ago, there were about 8 genders recognized by the LGBTQ organization in Miami. Now the number has grown to 52, and some say 97.

The protagonist is working on AI, which will definitely liberate the productivity of all mankind. As for how to liberate and promote the transformation of the human world, there will be a preliminary explanation in Chapters 320 and 350 of this book, and around Chapter 550, it will enter the real transformation period. The book will be completed around 900 chapters. It is expected to be about 300 million words.

Of course, if your results have been lukewarm, you may be advised to finish it as soon as possible, in which case your progress will be faster.

I can only say that this is the most reasonable, fair and beautiful future for mankind that I can think of.

AI has brought unprecedented changes to human society. If we go right, it will be cyberpunk, and if we go left, it will be world peace. It is almost impossible for a middle path to emerge.

No matter how the real world evolves, I will write down the best solution that I think of in my mind.

In addition, the issue about this chip is not exaggerated. In real life, there are people who are already doing this kind of thing, namely Etched. This small company, which was established less than four years ago, has already obtained Series A financing and seems to be about to tape out the chip. The performance and specifications of the transformer-specific chip they have announced are much more exaggerated than those of Orange Seed.
