Letter

On June 17, 1961, the Dragon Boat Festival. However, this is not fashionable in Europe and America. Although there are some activities in Chinatown, the impact is not significant.

The progress of the Bay of Pigs incident (Battle of Geelong Beach) is being shown on TV. In the U.S. Anti-Cuba has reached a climax, but it has not yet evolved into a confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. When Cuba embraces the Soviet thigh, it will be the pinnacle of the Cold War.

After returning from SAB, Catherine let out a long sigh of relief.

Recently, she found that her **** became a burden more and more and she felt this way when dancing.

And now she has to wear a practice suit with chest support or wear a bra, otherwise, her **** will be up and down when dancing which makes her uncomfortable. If the **** are too big, you can't do ballet, right?

And as she grows up, she no longer wears the children's open crotch tights now, instead, she puts on professional ballet tights but she can't get used to it.

Changed into the original exercise clothes, Catherine found that the clothes were already much smaller.

Looking at it again, not only has my chest grown but my height has also increased abruptly by at least 10 cm.

She shook her head, and then picked up a letter she had just received.

This is the focus now.

The letter comes from Seymour Cray.

Catherine has been in contact with this person a long time ago, mainly to discuss computer problems. Because this person is a computer.

My Game TV was completed only under the advice and guidance of the other party.

But the other party is deep in the dense forests of Wisconsin, so Catherine doesn't have the spare time to go deep there to find him.

This Seymour Cray completed the world's first transistor-based supercomputer in 1958, which became an important milestone in the history of computer development. He will be called the "father of supercomputers" in the future.

Catherine takes this person very seriously.

Because this is related to my plans, and whether I can see a computer in the true sense in her opinion a few years or more than ten years in advance.

Seymour Cray will be very famous in the United States in the future, and there is even an award named after him. The biological and medical communities use computers developed by Cray to fight cancer, AIDS, and other serious life-threatening diseases; almost every new car model launched by car manufacturers around the world is designed with computers made by Cray, Cray's computer helps meteorologists around the world make accurate weather forecasts to prevent people's lives and property from suffering heavy losses in severe weather; NASA has given an estimate: using Cray computers to simulate the launch of the space shuttle, Save 20 million US dollars in fuel for each launch...

From the beginning of the 21st century, 220 of the more than 400 supercomputers in the world came from Cray Corporation. The U.S. Department of Defense called him "the intellectual star of the American nation." As one of the most important figures in the field of high-performance computers, he designed all the hardware and operating system of the Cray supercomputer-this computer "will" be launched in 1975-and the operating system was also written by him in machine code and the most surprising thing is that there have been no bugs and errors.

Catherine knew this person because a netizen complained about the errors and loopholes of windows on the Internet and along the way discussion on "Seymour Cray" was brought up.

Otherwise, Catherine might not know the legendary father of supercomputers.

Seymour Cray is a well-known character now, he is called "the hermit of the dense forest."

IBM is preparing to propose the supercomputer 360—yes, it is 360—so, in response to the threat of IBM, Cray entered the deep forest of Wisconsin, which is also the origin of his title.

Catherine opened the letter and looked at the things on it, but she was ashamed.

"C language is an impeccable language, but this language has some flaws. Compared with general machine code or other codes, although C language is standardized and convenient to use, it will undoubtedly slow down the running speed of the system. …"

Catherine was a little bit dumbfounded, the later C language can be known for its speed. For languages ​​like Java, the speed is incomparable compared to the C language.

You know, Windows is based on the C language-although Bill Gates's favorite is the Basic language.

"Moreover, the C language is very dangerous. If the programming is not done properly, it is very likely to burn the hardware...In fact, before writing to you, I tried to write a program in C language, but because of an error, I burned the processor."

The processors of this era don't have any temperature protection settings. If the temperature exceeds the temperature, the processor may burn out. Like the future, when the CPU reaches 100 degrees, it will automatically power off.

"But I have to admit that the application of the integrated circuit you proposed may be very good. Regarding the decision of the component semiconductor company you are considering, I think that you should probably refer to Fairchild."

Catherine shrugged, anyway the patent for the integrated circuit is in my hand.

I applied for it in 1958. After all, this is the foundation of the personal computer.

It's just a pity that for at least ten years, this technology will not be able to bring a lot of benefits to Catherine.

"ARK."

Catherine also put the name of her unformed company on the paper.

It's taken from 2012, which means ark in Chinese.

"Apple, under the Ark Group, launched Game TV...hey, that sounds great."

"Maybe Microsoft, a subsidiary of the Ark Group launched the Windows operating system?"

Catherine laughed.

On the other hand, in the school, Lisa is also discussing something with the instructor of the clothing designer. Jenny and Ada are also nearby, and they give opinions from time to time.

"Kate is too ignorant of feminism. She is like a 19th-century girl who has no opinion... Well, we have to change this status quo."

"But, Lisa. Why do I think you seem to be working in the opposite direction?"

"Uh…"
