technical field

The invention relates to calculator technology, in particular to a trolley case type programmable calculator device.

Background technique

Calculator has always occupied an important position in modern industrial and agricultural production, education and scientific research because of its portability and fast calculation, and it is an indispensable tool in people's daily life. Especially in the production line, construction site and fields, calculators can often be seen. These places often require more complex calculations, so programmable calculators have emerged as the times require. However, due to the weak computing power of existing calculator chips, the functions of programmable calculators are very limited. It cannot complete relatively large calculations. As a result, the engineers and technicians at the front had to bring complex problems back and use computers or even supercomputers for follow-up processing, which greatly affected the effectiveness of problem solving.

In response to this situation, people have developed mobile platform equipment for large-scale field computing such as container computing platforms. This type of platform has very powerful computing power and complete environmental self-balancing capabilities. It only needs to connect to water and power at the destination to quickly complete the construction and use of the equipment. Therefore, it greatly meets and facilitates the demand for computing resources in the field. But at the same time, new problems emerged. First of all, this type of platform is relatively large, usually installed on a truck, and often the site does not require such a large computing system and the geographical location is not good, especially those mountains that are not suitable for trucks, so it is limited to a certain extent. the use of such platforms. In addition, the container computing platform also needs to provide additional hydraulic power and electricity, which is often unrealistic in the wild. Therefore, in many cases, it is necessary to provide its own water circulation system and diesel generator vehicles. Therefore, such a computing system is often composed of three Car to form, so usability is not good.

With the continuous development of computing technology, accelerated processors represented by GPU and MIC have emerged. They often have dozens or even hundreds of computing cores, have very powerful computing power and high memory bandwidth, and can easily realize On-chip teraflops of computation. Therefore, it becomes a reality to use GPU or MIC to build a portable teraflop calculator platform.

In addition, with the continuous development of new energy technologies, the technology of power lithium-ion batteries has also made rapid progress. For example, the current ternary lithium-ion battery for vehicles has an energy density of more than 150AH/kg, so a ternary lithium-ion battery of about 10~20kg can store 1~2kwh of electricity, which is enough to support acceleration cards such as GPU/MIC of electricity consumption. Therefore, the appearance of a portable field programmable calculator has become a possibility.

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clear and clear, we describe the key steps in the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

For the present invention, the calculation part is the core of the invention, and the maintenance system is the main body of the invention. As shown in accompanying drawing 2, provide the design sectional drawing of the present invention. In order to fully adapt to the complex use environment in the field, the maintenance system of the present invention adopts a metal shell and is lined with buffer spacers to fully reduce the impact of external vibration on the computing module.
