2015,6543819, Professor Tsinghua University and Academician Zhang Yaoxue, President of Central South University, led the team to complete the project "Research on the Mode and Basic Theory of Network Computing" and won the first prize of National Natural Science Award 20 14. Winning the first prize of the National Natural Science Award pushed Zhang Yaoxue and his research team to the forefront of public opinion.

Its award-winning project "Research on the Mode and Basic Theory of Network Computing" is popularly called "transparent computing". It is reported that this research has made breakthroughs in the development of Meta OS, the separation of computing and storage, and the separation of software and hardware.

Discussions around this theory and technology have continued to this day. The separation of computing and storage can be realized long ago, which is what Internet cafes do. Isn't this concept NC (Network Computer) put forward by Oracle Bone Inscriptions and other companies 20 years ago? At first glance, the concept of "transparent computing" sounds like cloud computing. What is unique about it? Has the von Neumann structure been subverted? Is transparent computing of Intel the same thing as transparent computing of Zhang Yaoxue? How can a person who has held an administrative position for a long time have time to engage in scientific research? Zhang Yaoxue recently accepted an exclusive interview with Science and Technology Daily, and introduced transparent computing and its research process in detail for the first time after winning the prize.
