Development of China's first high-end fault-tolerant server

Our correspondent Jiang Yong 2010 lunar Month 29 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Wave group technical director Hureyun and his colleagues, out of Beijing Haidian on the information Road 2nd Research and Development Center, home for the new year.　　Although exhausted, but they still can not cover the excitement: after more than 1000 days and nights of hard fighting, they finally overcome the server field of a perilous peak: China's first 32-way high-end fault-tolerant server (computer) official prototype finally tuned, stable operation, the performance are in line with the plan indicators.　　This makes the tide become after IBM, HP and other international companies, the world's few masters of high-end fault-tolerant server technology manufacturers, not only marks the Chinese server into the world's first camp, but also indicates: China's financial, telecommunications and other core economic areas used high-end server foreign brand monopoly situation will be broken. The server stores and processes 80% of data and information on the network, known as the "nerve center" of the network. Banks, telecommunications, civil aviation and other systems with a strong information processing capacity and high reliability of high-end fault-tolerant server, its importance is self-evident.　　Its market value is also very substantial: at a price of hundreds of thousands of yuan, millions of dollars, the server market is the most profitable part.　　However, regrettably, so far, China's high-end fault-tolerant server market has been IBM, HP and other foreign manufacturers monopoly. "Eleven-Five" plan, the country made the independent development of high-end fault-tolerant server strategic decision-making. The Ministry of Science and Technology was selected, determined in January 2008, by the wave and Huawei two to undertake the "863" high-end fault project research and development. The state invested 260 million yuan, Shandong provincial government matched 150 million yuan, wave investment 337.5 million yuan, a total of 747.5 million yuan.　　It is reported that this is the largest investment in China's information industry, a research and development project. The tide has mobilized more than 100 troops and set up 10 research and development offices. They have two routes to choose from: one is to cooperate with foreign masters of the core technology, so that both insurance and time saving, but will always controlled, the other way, is to run the risk of doing their own.　　They finally chose the latter. The average age of the research team is less than 30 years. With a stubborn, unyielding, undefeated, they have broken through a number of core technologies: creatively put forward the "two-wing scalable tight coupling large server architecture", mastered the 1-level network jump can complete 64-way interconnection of the international advanced technology;--independent development of the world's first server high-speed interconnect chip,　　Successfully solved the data transmission problem between the CPU, and its exchange rate reached the international advanced level,--in sync with hardware research and development, to develop its own high-end server operating system, so in this level to get rid of foreign control ...　　July 28, 2010, the tide successfully developed China's first 32-way high-end fault-tolerant server technology verification prototype; In August, the prototype in China Construction Bank successfully on-line test, the key technology reached the expected level. It is reported that the wave of research and development32-way high-end fault-tolerant servers are expected to achieve mass production this year.　　Speaking of its application prospects, the Wave Senior vice President Wang Endong is not optimistic. He said that as banks, telecommunications and other users of the core business system for a long time dependent on foreign products, a considerable part of the locked in foreign closed systems, difficult to transplant. "In addition, because the domestic brands in the market is weak, foreign brands of hardware and software and domestic brands more incompatible, but also the problem." "Innovation is a complete chain, the state in addition to supporting technology research and development, product development, but also in the promotion of new products to give support." At the same time, also need domestic users dare to eat the first crab, active procurement, the use of domestic brands. "Wang Endong said.
