Xueba's computing system

Chapter 62 Obtaining Computing Resources
More than an hour later, Lin Yuan received an email reply from OCR.

The other party gave us the right to use two H100 GPUs, and the period of use was doubled to ten days.

Lin Yuan even had a feeling that the other party was deliberately restraining himself.

Because from the user manual provided by the other party, the layout is extremely standardized and professional, and it is obvious that there is a mature technical team behind the scenes supporting it.

The style and strength of a team can be seen from the technical documents.

The operation manual document sent by the other party along with the email is no different from the document specifications of first-tier large companies such as Haotuan. There is even a clear record of document version updates, and the fonts and colors of different contents are differentiated, and there are also a lot of detailed operation guide pictures and texts.

'This is even more formal than the format of my graduation thesis.'

The market price of a single H100 should start at more than 20 yuan. Giving Lin Yuan a device worth more than yuan for ten days is not a big deal for an organization with resources. It's just that Lin Yuan is not well-known now, and his pockets are empty, so he is in a difficult situation.

The other party's computing resources were mounted on the Linux platform, which was also within Lin Yuan's expectations. As for the continuous bugs in the Windows system and the closed-source system underlying code, Linux has always been the first choice for business servers for security reasons.

After Lin Yuan installed the certificate sent by the other party on his laptop, he successfully logged into the computing power platform using the remote tools provided by the other party.

Judging from the appearance of this login tool, it is most likely based on a remote encrypted login tool such as SSH.

The next step is to upload the training data.

In order to save time, Lin Yuan chose to upload the data in multiple batches. In this way, he could upload a part first, let the computing platform run the training first, and then continue to upload while training.

After you have the tool, what you need to do is actually very simple. Just wait for a round of training to produce results, then do verification, then fine-tune, then train again, then verify again. This cycle repeats. When you encounter a problem, you can retrieve the current model and then feed it back to the computing system, allowing the system to solve the stuck node problem.

The model processed by the system is then imported back into the OCR computing platform.

This cycle repeats itself until the first draft of the algorithm is completed.

That afternoon, Lin Yuan went to congratulate his tutor.

As soon as I opened the office door, I found that Gu Xuan was there too.

"Lin Yuan, don't you have an internship today? How come you have time to come here?" Because it was during working hours, Lin Yuan thought that his tutor must be at school, so he didn't make an appointment with him in advance. Most importantly, Lin Yuan wanted to come and tell his tutor that the trick you suggested of "pretending to be Yu Zecheng" worked. But it's obviously not a good idea to talk about this on WeChat.

"Um, I have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter?" Professor Zhang asked casually.

"It's about computing power."

Lin Yuan only mentioned it briefly, and Professor Zhang immediately understood. "Well, okay. You sit down for a moment."

Lin Yuan sat down on the sofa beside him.

Out of boredom, he listened to the conversation between his tutor and Gu Xuan.

"I still don't recommend you to consider publishing your paper right now, especially the topic you chose. I think you can think about it more carefully."

From Professor Zhang's cautious and reserved attitude, Lin Yuan clearly felt that his mentor was not optimistic about Gu Xuan's decision. But Lin Yuan had just arrived and was not clear about the whole story.

"You should still focus on theoretical learning in your first year of graduate school. If you are interested, I would support you to do some part-time jobs in your spare time to learn about the industry trends. I can also recommend major Internet companies to you."

"Teacher, I still want to go the academic route."

"Gu Xuan, if you have this intention, I will definitely support you. But no matter which route you choose, you must follow the procedures. And you should not be opposed to internships in companies. Many well-known professors in foreign universities are also technical executives in many large companies, and some are even CTOs.

The combination of school and enterprise, academic and application are not contradictory. Especially for students like you, you should pay more attention to your future work. So you should get in touch with enterprises earlier. "

Lin Yuan roughly understood some of it. The instructor still adhered to the strategy of "application first". He recalled the complaints made by the instructor during the last night's chat. The instructor was obviously very opposed to closed-door research. After all, Einstein was a minority. Most people were only suitable to be engineers and could not do the work of scientists.

Therefore, Professor Zhang is also trying to persuade people to be good.

"Teacher, you know that I graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Zijin University. I have confidence in my mathematical ability. Please help me get this project and let me give it a try."

Fight for a project? Lin Yuan was a little confused. Gu Xuan also mentioned mathematical ability, which made him even more confused. "Why do you insist on touching that project? I just told you so much, why don't you understand?"

Lin Yuan realized that he must have missed a lot of the previous conversation.

Professor Zhang's tone was already somewhat impatient, and he took off his glasses and placed them on the table. There was even a loud sound when the frame of the glasses hit the table, as if the glasses had been thrown on the table.

"Gu Xuan, tell me the truth. What is your real purpose in taking on this project? As long as you speak frankly, the teacher may consider it for you."

"Of course, to improve my own academic ability."

“Are you in such a hurry to publish your paper?”

"I,,,"

Gu Xuan seemed to have been hit in the vitals and was speechless for a moment.

After a stalemate, Gu Xuan finally spoke up, "Teacher, can I add Lin Yuan to the author list?"

"What?" Professor Zhang looked at Gu Xuan speechlessly.

Not only Professor Zhang, but Lin Yuan himself was also confused. "Why are you involving me? What paper? What's going on?"

"I can give him the second work." Gu Xuan continued.

"What does giving the paper as co-author to Lin Yuan have to do with your plan to publish the paper?" Professor Zhang asked back. He obviously didn't understand what Gu Xuan was talking about.

But Professor Zhang has been in the university circle for decades, so he quickly realized what was going on.

"Humph, do you think I'm protecting Lin Yuan on purpose? Is this considered a gesture of goodwill to me?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Gu Xuan regretted that he was too blunt, but he thought that Lin Yuan and Professor Zhang had some hidden connection, because Lin Yuan was treated a little differently on the day of the admission interview. Of course, this was what Gu Xuan thought.

Lin Yuan was completely confused, lamenting that he had come at the wrong time and had accidentally ended up being an NPC in someone else's conversation.

How about avoiding it yourself? It would save you from embarrassment.

Just when Lin Yuan was about to tiptoe to the door...

"Lin Yuan, please sit down and wait for a while."

Well, Lin Yuan had no choice but to sit back on the sofa.

Professor Zhang turned to Gu Xuan and said, "Since you have made up your mind, as a teacher I will naturally do my best to help you. Don't worry about this project, I will definitely help you get it. I still have some face in the school."

"Okay, thank you teacher." Gu Xuan looked very happy.

"You go back first. I'll let you know when there's news."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Before Gu Xuan left, he said goodbye to Lin Yuan. Just as he was about to leave the door, Professor Zhang's voice rang out, "You don't need to leave anyone behind. Just close the door when you leave."

Gu Xuan obviously hesitated for a moment, "Okay." Then he closed the door gently without changing his expression.

But at the moment the door closed, Lin Yuan clearly saw the other party's gloomy face.

"Hey, my fellow disciple who is like a chameleon." Lin Yuan didn't know where Gu Xuan got so much drama from.

However, Professor Zhang did not avoid Lin Yuan when talking to Gu Xuan. When he talked to Lin Yuan, he not only asked Gu Xuan to go back first, but also asked him to close the door. Especially the last word of closing the door, it was quite mocking and warning.

Lin Yuan was a little confused.
