** Abstract: ** In the multi-dimensional world, the high-dimensional civilization has the advantage of crushing the low-dimensional civilization, and the network is also moving from two-dimensional to three-dimensional! The competition of network hardware is mainly “chip + algorithm”.
From the Three-body Problem to the Sino-US science and technology war, we understand that the deep integration of network and computing power contributes to high-dimensional competition
1: To fight against blockade, we need cloud Tianming, wall and sword bearer
Early in the Obama era, the White House showed great interest in the Three-Body Problem: “Obama read ‘The Three-Body Problem’ and ‘The Three-Body Problem’ and then became obsessed with Liu cixin’s work, waiting for ‘The Three-Body Problem’ to be published. When the Chinese version of “The Three-Body Problem 3” came out, Mr. Obama asked his White House staff to E-mail Mr. Liu to see it as soon as possible. But Liu didn’t know it was from the White House, thought it was spam and deleted it. Two more times. So Obama found Liu Cixin through China’s foreign affairs department and said he wanted to see the English version of “The Three-Body Problem 3”. Liu cixin said the English version of “The Three-Body Problem 3” has not been officially published by American publishers. The White House immediately contacted the publisher for several copies of “The Three-Body Problem 3,” which has yet to be officially published. Obama even wrote a tweet on the website recommending the Three-Body Problem.
After watching “The Three-Body Problem”, I remember the most two words, one is “dark forest law”, the second “dimension reduction strike”. The communication network market itself is a “dark jungle”. The Europeans who pay attention to humanistic feelings, Nokia, Siemens, Marconi and so on, have gone from glory to decline one by one. The Americans who don’t pay attention to them have finally torn their faces to fight globally, suppressing the rising momentum of Chinese science and technology without moral integrity.
I don’t know the trump ever read “three body”, but in fact completely accepted on china-us relations in the “dark” the law of the jungle and the essence of “dimension reduction blow”, through the technical control, comprehensive lock high-end semiconductor industry in China, face made no secret of purpose, from the economic, technological, financial, and even at war of the momentum of development of China, At the same time, it has achieved a “smart child” ability to nip disruptive innovations in the first place through mergers and sanctions through monitoring the global ICT infrastructure, from Prism to Clean 5G.
Game between the earth and three body is elected than “think tank” smarter “side wall”, the way people all thought only stored in their minds, naokou monitoring, but naokou can have from the side wall behavior “speculation” out of their strategy, Taylor’s military plan, quantum dias “scorched earth” program, heath “brain transformation plan” have been found. Luo Ji succeeded in breaking through the “law of the Dark Forest of the Universe” and became the man with the sword. However, his role is just equivalent to that of sino-US relations today. Based on the balance of nuclear bomb technology, it is a strategic deterrent without a hot war and cannot break through the locked technology. The three fairy tales yun Tianming brought back from the three-body provided the correct technical direction for “curvature drive, two-dimensional weapons, reduce the speed of light” and helped the earth people to achieve technological breakthroughs. Mr Trump’s tightening of visas for Chinese students and H-1B skilled workers may also have been influenced by “cloudy skies”.
In the fight against the Three-body blockade, Earth has three key roles: the man facing the wall, whom Tomoko cannot monitor, the man directing the technology, and the man holding the sword, who controls the balance of the hot war.
Blockade against the United States, also need three key roles: the United States cannot monitor the 5 g and the data is neutral, in the right direction to guide technology talent, able to keep the balance of hot “Poseidon” (the United States around the sky fly to build the ground conductivity, the threat of sky star chain integration defense capabilities, was the Russian nuclear torpedo underwater weapons subversive innovation).
2: Why data neutrality
The value of a 5G network that is not monitored by the US is easier to understand, but why “data neutrality”? Because 5G is just the pipeline, data is the idea.
In the current cloud-centric ICT infrastructure, where all data is stored in the cloud, monitoring 5G is a petty theft of individuals, but the capture of data in the cloud is the big theft of choice.
In the face of American hegemony, the vast majority of countries without nuclear sovereignty in the world can easily and efficiently obtain data on a few public clouds as if they were in their own backyard.
Data neutrality refers to the decoupling of the current “Full Stack” public cloud and the retention of data on the user side/neutral edge computing power platform. The platform only provides computing power and has no sovereignty over data, which belongs to the user.
Does a decoupled architecture lead to a loss of efficiency? Will not! But new technology is needed!
The development of the Internet is similar to that of commerce. The earliest commercial behavior is composed of many small shops, and users need a lot of time to buy all goods. Later, wal-mart came into being, and most goods could be bought in only one mall. Indeed, efficiency was improved, but it also brought a problem. Some goods could be bought with high cost performance, and some with low cost performance. Then e-commerce platforms emerged, allowing users to compare prices online, choose the best cost-effective products and deliver them directly to their homes through logistics.
At present, the public cloud is similar to “Wal-mart”. All services are provided by the customer. If the customer chooses a cloud, they will accept all the services in the cloud, but some of these services have high and low cost performance.
The key to the e-commerce model to overturn wal-mart’s model is: a trading platform that supports mass users to connect and is transparent to goods, and a ubiquitous logistics network with a mission to achieve.
Corresponding to support data neutrality, the key to achieve horizontal decoupling of public cloud is: computing power platform that supports mass user connection and data neutrality (transparent), ubiquitous and deterministic broadband network.
The trading platform provides direct communication channel between shops and users, and provides credible trading guarantee;
Computing power platform provides a direct transaction channel between cloud service providers and users, and provides reliable computing power guarantee.
Sf Express has built 9 hub stations, 49 air railway stations, 143 transfer fields, 330 distribution points and 15,000 business outlets in 2018. In order to guarantee fresh delivery, IT has built 51 food cold storage. More than 680 refrigerated vehicles have been invested.
In order to ensure the certainty of connection, it is also necessary to build hierarchical, back-to-end, ultra-wide network, operator backbone, metropolitan area, access layer 3 network and to ensure the certainty, build edge MEC, 5G end-to-end slice network capability.
Supported by efficient computing power platform and deterministic broadband network, “decoupling” based on data neutrality will not reduce efficiency, but activate the service innovation capacity of thousands of industries, and bring users more choices and better experience.
3: Why does the network also need to be deeply integrated with computing power?
Back to the “three body”, “multidimensional world” is the core of the story line, god civilization level up to 11 dimensions, three body person also has a 3 d to 2 d ability of reversible change in environmental degradation can be dehydrated into two-dimensional shape, in good time, environment and water back to the three dimensional form, through the dimension reduction response to changes in the environment, Yuntianming’s message to Earth also mentioned that the earth could avoid disaster by reducing itself to two dimensions.
In the multi-dimensional world, the high-dimensional civilization has the advantage of crushing the low-dimensional civilization, and the network is also moving from two to three!
The competition of network hardware is mainly “chip + algorithm”.
Since the chip manufacturing technology changed from 7nm, the process direction has mainly evolved from 2d microscale to 3D stack. Due to the limitations of the United States, it is a great challenge for domestic manufacturing capacity to independently break through 3D manufacturing technology. However, TSMC will make rapid progress in this direction in the next few years, with 5nm, 3nm and 1nm continuously advancing. The industry’s network chip will face the competitive pressure from low – dimension to high – dimension.
Algorithm is a major feature of network products, which is widely used in signal processing, performance optimization, codec and other fields. When the chip technology is similar, the competitiveness of network products is largely built on algorithm. Traditional algorithms are based on 2d data sequences collected in the time domain or frequency domain (D1, D2, D3) for operation. In recent years, more and more research institutions have proposed structuring various 2d data collected, such as
Or graphically, for example
As the input of neural network calculation, the key features that cannot be recognized by traditional two-dimensional algorithms are found, and the future changes are predicted to achieve more accurate decisions. The data processing and judgment of traditional algorithms can be likened to ordinary camera photos, while the data processing based on neural network can be likened to CT tomography images.
The amount of network data is smaller than that of image recognition, and single task GB storage space can meet the requirement. However, the network has high requirements on real-time performance, requiring dynamic adjustment within sub-second time, so it has certain requirements on computing power, such as TOPS level. These specifications are only examples and should be designed based on actual service requirements.
Two core chip and algorithm of network hardware, chip industry has from 2 d to 3 d, and algorithm is also a similar trend, industry on the one hand, to break through the threshold of the semiconductor technology, but also increase the algorithm in the field of innovation, and actively build network + calculation of fusion architecture, from 2 d to 3 d traction network algorithm’s ability to ascend, To achieve the predictability of performance changes from wireless, optical and digital end-to-end network, so as to truly achieve the “deterministic” ability.
From 2d to 3D algorithm, traditional board DSP and CPU can not meet the requirements, need to introduce FPGA or NPU high computing power components (Bai Fumei), to achieve intelligent ultra-wide.
