from september 27th to 29th, the 2024 china computing power conference was held in zhengzhou, henan. with the theme of "gathering intelligence to lead the future with new computing", this conference is hosted by the news and publicity center of the ministry of industry and information technology and the china academy of information and communications technology.
dr. zhou yuefeng, vice president of huawei and president of data storage product line, was invited to attend the main forum of the conference and deliver a keynote speech. he said that china's digital application process is developing rapidly, and storage, computing, and the internet must develop collaboratively to provide china with a sustainable supply of computing power infrastructure and provide better choices for the world.
the intelligent era is the golden age of data. core ai fields such as large ai models, embodied intelligence, and ai for science all rely heavily on data and are driven by data. data flow and data storage constitute the two most important indicators of the digital economy in the ai era: data flow reflects the degree of digital activity in human society, and data storage capacity reflects the degree of accumulation of data assets.
china's computing power infrastructure is developing rapidly, but gaps still exist. zhou yuefeng believes that huawei is committed to building a computing power infrastructure that coordinates storage, computing, and networking to better help data flow more smoothly and store more data assets, thereby creating a solid foundation for china's digital economy.
provide sustainable computing solutions through architectural innovation. the sustainability of intelligence starts with the sustainability of computing power. china's semiconductor manufacturing technology will be lagging behind for a long time, and only computing power based on actually available chip manufacturing technology will be sustainable in the long term. fully seize the opportunity of the artificial intelligence revolution, create a computing architecture based on actually available chip manufacturing processes, and create a "super node + cluster" computing power solution to continuously meet computing power needs in the long term.
in terms of smart connections, huawei uses high-speed transportation capabilities to enable enterprises to use computing and data on demand. in the campus scenario, people are moving from the internet of everything to the intelligent internet of everything. huawei provides 10g campus networks based on key technologies such as wi-fi 7 and pol to meet the growing needs of businesses. for wide-area network scenarios, huawei provides elastic and lossless wide-area networks, using ai routers and fgotn technology to achieve a hundredfold increase in wide-area bandwidth in minutes, meeting the high-speed aggregation of massive data with high elasticity. in addition, huawei uses ultra-broadband non-blocking data center networks to build high-bandwidth, high-reliability ultra-large-scale cluster networks. huawei's all-optical high-quality transport network creates a "hybrid optical and electrical" intelligent computing network, a "one-hop computing" metropolitan area network, a "three-dimensional joint computing" backbone network and a "10g intelligent" access network, with ubiquitous flexible access, 1ms ultra-low latency, 99.9999% high reliability, and elastically scalable dcn capabilities can provide high-quality network experience for smart applications.
create advanced data storage capabilities to help data-rich countries become data-powerful countries. huawei data storage has so far served more than 28,000 customers around the world, covering more than 150 countries and regions, and has protected a total of 30,000pb of data around the world. it is worth mentioning that 53 of the world's top 100 banks choose huawei data storage, gaining widespread trust from customers in various industries. in high-performance computing scenarios, huawei's oceanstor pacific distributed storage ranks first in the world's most authoritative io500 rankings; in ai scenarios, huawei's ai storage ranks first in the world in terms of performance in the 2024 mlperftm ai benchmark launched by turing award winner david patterson. one.
chinese technology companies represented by huawei continue to make breakthroughs and collaborate in innovation in computing, storage and network technologies to create a new business card for chinese technology. through storage-based computing, long-memory memory-type storage enables long context, improving the logical thinking and reasoning capabilities of large models, especially slow thinking capabilities, and reducing costs. through computing network collaboration, high throughput and high reliability help to efficiently release ai computing power. through network storage collaboration, the fully interconnected architecture enables full connectivity between ultra-large-scale intelligent computing cluster nodes and storage nodes. at the same time, huawei adheres to openness and win-win, open source software related to root technology to the community, cooperates with more than 1,500 ecological partners, jointly builds an industrial ecosystem, accelerates innovation, and wins the future.
finally, zhou yuefeng emphasized that in the era of ai large models, china's computing infrastructure must be ahead of the world. storage, computing, and networks are indispensable and must develop together to gain the upper hand in the intelligent era.
