Chapter 382 (1/2)

”Lying in the trough?! Is it true or not? ”

When he heard that cloud dream game was going to build a Supercomputing Center to provide computing power support for world of Warcraft, Yang Yuan, editor in chief of renlian information industry daily, was surprised that Ba almost didn't fall to the ground.

So much so that he, who always abides by civility and politeness, can't help saying rude words on the spot.

Wang Hongsheng, the editor who reported the news to him, nodded. His face didn't look like a joke. He continued with the previous topic in a serious tone.

”At the beginning, I was also very surprised. I thought it was a rumor from which we media... But later I contacted the person in charge of Yunmeng technology by telephone, and Professor Chen Mingdong from Xia Guo Academy of engineering, and they all got an answer about it.”

Hearing Wang Hongsheng's explanation, the expression on Yang Yuan's face became more and more serious. At the same time, he was also infected with a little excitement that was not easy to detect.

”There's something about Yunmeng group... Can you help me contact the executives of Yunmeng group? The higher the level, the better. ”

Looking at editor in chief Yang, Wang Hongsheng was slightly stunned and said.

”Are you going to do an exclusive interview with Yunmeng technology?”

”That's right!”

Yang Yuan nodded, eyes with obvious interest in the look, continue to say.

”It's the first time I've heard of such an interesting thing as using a supercomputer as a game server.”

”But... Is it really OK to report the news related to video games on our professional media?” Wang Hongsheng said with a slight hesitation.

For the confusion of his subordinates, Yang Yuan said indifferently.

”You don't need to worry about that. If the board asks, I will naturally explain. You just need to do what I say.”

If it's not worth interviewing, what else is news?

Yang Yuan has enough confidence, this report will shock the whole industry!

In fact, it's not only the editorial department of renlian Information Industry Daily that has been shocked. After Yunmeng game announced this news on its official website, almost the whole game circle has been shocked by Yunmeng game's big hand.

Using supercomputers to support world of Warcraft?

Is there no place to burn the money, or is it just a gimmick?

Under normal circumstances, a supercomputer with a computing power of 10pflops will have to pay 60000-100000 yuan for electricity every day, 30 million yuan for electricity every year, and the operating cost will easily exceed 50 million yuan.

This is thanks to the breakthrough of electronic industry technology in energy saving in the past two years. If it had been put two years ago, the number would have doubled.

But even so, using supercomputers as game servers is fantastic enough.

After all, the longest service life of an MMORPG is only five years. For a game that will be eliminated in five years, it costs more than ten billion to build a supercomputer, and tens of millions of server maintenance costs every year.

Even the rich sea lion group, I am afraid it is difficult to bear such a high cost.

Besides, there is no need for that.

The advantage of supercomputing lies in its huge computing power, which is not used in general games. In addition, the hardware level of home computers is generally good. In order to save costs, many game manufacturers simply put a lot of calculations on the players' computers.

Because this incident is so surprising that the heat of the topic has even surpassed the beta internal test of world of Warcraft and made it into the top three of Weibo hot search list.

Using supercomputing as a game server??? Can't you really pay for it

[Mr. Hao: I'm sorry, the ability of money is to do whatever you want（ (funny)

I don't know how to make complaints about it. I just hope that Yunmeng games can't play bankrupt, so the developers of such conscience are few.

[ha ha ha, isn't it good to be bankrupt? If we go bankrupt, we can play the game designed by Mr. Hao himself（ [dog head]

[look at them! Dog Yue's sea lion is still engaged in member queue jumping, so he is willing to spend money to upgrade the server for general manager Hao, and I will praise Yunmeng game!]

Hao Yun did not expect that his decision to build a supercomputer attracted so much attention.

However, more attention can not offset Yunmeng group's loss of one billion yuan in its accounts.
