AI Boosts the Explosion of Computing Power Demand and Accelerates the Construction of Computing Network "Expressway" - Looking at New Trends in Industrial Development from the 2023 China Computing Power Conference
2023-08-21
Large model algorithms promote the development of artificial intelligence towards a more universal direction, driving a surge in demand for intelligent computing power; Constructing 130 trunk optical cables around computing power hub nodes, significantly improving data transmission performance; The industrial chain is constantly expanding, and the production of computing products such as servers and computers ranks first in the world... The 2023 China Computing Power Conference held in Yinchuan, Ningxia recently revealed new progress and trends in the development of the computing power industry, highlighting that computing power has become an important cornerstone of the digital and intelligent transformation of the entire society. From scientific research to industrial production, and then to people's food, housing, and transportation, computing power is permeating every bit of production and life like water and electricity. In recent years, a series of important policy measures have been introduced from the central to local governments, implementing a large number of major engineering projects, and promoting the rapid development of the computing power industry. Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Jin Zhuanglong, presented a set of latest data at the conference. As of now, the total scale of data center racks in use nationwide exceeds 7.6 million standard racks, with a total computing power of 197EFLOPS, ranking second in the world. The computing power industry has begun to take shape, with the production of computing products such as servers, computers, and smartphones ranking first in the world. Especially, the development of artificial intelligence technologies such as AI big models has triggered further growth in demand for computing power. According to the "China Comprehensive Computing Power Index (2023)" released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology at the conference, the scale of general computing power accounts for 74% of the current computing power scale; The scale of intelligent computing power accounts for 25%, an increase of 60% year-on-year. This reflects that the development of large models has played a very important role in promoting artificial intelligence computing power. "Yu Xiaohui, President of the China Academy of Information and Communications, believes that China's computing power structure has been optimized, and the demand for intelligent computing power is showing an explosive growth trend. Huawei Chairman Liang Hua also believes that in recent years, industries such as autonomous driving, life medicine, and intelligent manufacturing have developed rapidly. With the increasing demand for computing power from large-scale artificial intelligence models and massive data, intelligent computing power suitable for large-scale model training has become the main driving force for computing power growth. The reporter noticed that with the surge in demand for intelligent computing power, multiple parties are further increasing the supply of high-performance intelligent computing, accelerating key technology research, and stimulating the AI computing power empowerment effect. Jin Zhuanglong stated that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to optimize the layout of infrastructure. Further improve the top-level design of high-quality development of computing facilities, strengthen the coordination of computing resources, increase the supply of high-performance intelligent computing, increase the reliability of computing networks, and enhance the level of efficient and intensive utilization. Enterprises have also increased their efforts in artificial intelligence innovation and promoted the upgrading of computing infrastructure. In Zhongwei City, Ningxia, the "China Unicom Intelligent Computing Training and Promotion Integrated Zhongwei Hub Construction Action Plan" has recently been officially launched. During the conference, China Unicom staff introduced that they will build the first intelligent computing, training, and promotion integrated hub node in western China. After completion, it will achieve AI training and promotion integrated service supply, promoting the development of intelligent computing industry in Ningxia and western regions. At the same time, China Telecom is strengthening its independent research and development of artificial intelligence frameworks, algorithm models, and scheduling platforms, building the Xinghe AI algorithm platform, and collaborating with partners to develop industry models and intelligent applications. China Mobile system promotes universal computing, intelligent computing
