As we all know, since the "Three-Year Action Plan for Promoting the Development of the New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry (2018-2020)" and other national policies were successively promulgated, China's artificial intelligence industry has ushered in a new period of outbreak, especially more and more The emergence of innovation based mostly on artificial intelligence application scenarios has become an important way for China to accelerate the implementation of industrial AI and technological iteration.
In the future, China’s thousands of industries will usher in a new wave of intelligent upgrades, and many new artificial intelligence application scenarios will be opened one by one. This unprecedented new change will have an impact on artificial intelligence and its computing power. The demand for the new infrastructure behind it can be imagined.
In fact, the "rigid needs" of enterprises and industries determine the speed of the development of artificial intelligence, and the construction of new public computing infrastructure has broadened the way for the development of artificial intelligence. It is precisely because of this that many cities across the country are also increasing the construction of new artificial intelligence infrastructure, and gradually developed their own unique artificial intelligence industries.
Xi’an "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center", which was officially launched on September 9 this year, is one of the representatives. This is the first artificial intelligence computing center in Northwest China. Its launch not only further strengthens Xi’an and even Xi’an. The development of artificial intelligence industry clusters throughout the Northwest region will also provide strong scientific and technological support for the high-quality development of the artificial intelligence industry in the Northwest.
Not only that, in the context of the surge in demand for artificial intelligence computing power, the city represented by Xi’an, as a "key force" to promote the construction of my country’s artificial intelligence computing infrastructure platform, will also contribute to the country’s development and promotion of artificial intelligence. The construction of computing power network has played a greater role in demonstration value and benchmarking.
The "head goose effect" of the most powerful brain in the west
Whether it is "AI industrialization" or the development of "industrial AI", it is necessary to play the leading role of "head goose", which has become the leading role of the "head goose" today. Consensus, in the entire northwestern region, Xi’an not only has a good foundation, strong forward-looking, excellent landing ability, and obvious leadership in the field of artificial intelligence industry, but also has a good policy environment, obvious talent advantages, strong scientific research strength, and huge industrial development potential. Advantage.
It can be seen that as early as March last year, Xi'an was approved to build a "National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Innovation Development Pilot Zone." According to the "2020-2021 China Artificial Intelligence Computing Power Development Evaluation Report" released by IDC, the top 10 cities in China's artificial intelligence computing power rankings in 2020 are Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hefei, Suzhou, and Xi'an. , Nanjing and other places, this also confirms from another aspect that Xi’an attaches great importance to the development of the artificial intelligence industry.
The newly launched Xi’an "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center" will not only further enhance Xi’an’s leading ability in the field of artificial intelligence computing power, but will also lay the foundation for better building the "most powerful brain" in the western region . It is understood that the center's computer room construction adopts the Huawei prefabricated modular solution. The computing power platform is based on the Shengteng AI basic software and hardware platform. In the future, it can provide larger-scale and more accurate and reliable model training and inference.
Of course, behind the increase in the scale of artificial intelligence computing power, it has always served the industry and the economy. Therefore, the greater value of the official launch of Xi’an “Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center” is also reflected in the fact that it can further promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries in Xi’an and inject “new momentum” into the high-quality economic development of the entire northwestern region. Say:
First, from the perspective of industry empowerment , in the report "Ubiquitous Computing Power: The Cornerstone of an Intelligent Society", it is found through the analysis of multiple industry cases: In traditional manufacturing, each increase in computing power A US$1 investment can drive a US$10 increase in related output value. Just like heat in the era of the steam revolution and electricity in the era of the power revolution, artificial intelligence computing power is now becoming a "new productivity" in the context of the development of the digital economy.
With Xi’an’s "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center Online", it will undoubtedly further promote institutional innovation and policy innovation. In the development of the new generation of artificial intelligence, it will help accelerate the realization of artificial intelligence to drive economic and social development. And supporting role, accelerate the formation of the Xi’an plan of the national new-generation artificial intelligence test zone, and strengthen the traditional advantageous industries in Xi’an as a whole,And to promote new application demonstrations in application scenarios such as autonomous driving, smart medical care, smart cities, smart transportation, smart mining, etc., to accelerate the construction of the entire "City of Innovation" in Xi'an.
Second, from the ecological construction , as soon as Xi’an "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center" went online, many projects were signed, such as , Xidian University remote sensing project, , Northwestern Polytechnical University voice model The project, Shaanxi Normal University "MindSpore Research Office", etc., gave full play to the "center" positioning and scientific and technological value, and quickly promoted large-scale project cooperation and development. It can be said that Xi'an "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center" is building a brand new interactive communication platform for local universities, enterprises, and scientific research institutions. In the future, through complementary advantages and resource integration and sharing, it will also form the entire Xi'an artificial intelligence industry. The ecosystem of "production, learning, and research" collaborative innovation plays a long-term role in promoting.

In this regard, the Dean of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Xidian University, a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and Licheng, a foreign academician of the European Academy of Sciences, said The development of remote sensing is related to the national development strategy and is closely related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. Xidian University is the first university in the country to start the research and application practice of radar remote sensing interpretation. Ascend’s AI basic hardware and software platform, hope that the two parties will work together in the future to give full play to their respective advantages. Based on the future artificial intelligence computing center led by Yanta District, it can quickly promote the cooperation of intelligent radar remote sensing scientific research projects and open up the field of remote sensing applications. Huge industrial space.

Assistant to the President of Northwestern Polytechnical University and Space-Space-Earth-Sea Integration Big Data National Engineering Laboratory Director Zhang Yanning also emphasized, back 27spanspanspanspanspan 28 _span_span28 The so-called "Qinling has no idle grass", each creature has its own spirituality. The strong local culture of Qinling requires politics, industry, academia, research, and various fields to jointly explore ways and methods to inherit and develop it, hoping to rely on Huawei to rise. AI basic software and hardware platform, open up technical cooperation in more fields, and build a digital Qinling. In addition, the “MindSpore Research Room” jointly established by Xi’an “Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center” and Shaanxi Normal University can also give full play to the school’s advantages in the fields of culture, technology, education, and technology. Carry out the construction of open source data sets, deep neural network algorithms, cultural and educational characteristics related scenes, and ecological communities.
Third, from the regional development , with the advent of the digital economy, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more important in industrial transformation and upgrading, and the potential for the future development of digital economy in many regional cities in China is very important. To a large extent, it will also depend on the development of the artificial intelligence industry. The importance of Xi’an in the northwest is undoubtedly not only the “main battlefield” of the Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration, but also the east starting point of the Silk Road Economic Belt. The humanities and other elements are relatively complete, and they also have a great driving effect on the development of digital economy in surrounding cities.
Similarly, the launch of Xi’an "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center" is also an important "milestone" for the entire Northwestern region to move towards artificial intelligence. It is believed that the center will help the Yanta District’s strategy of "One District, Five Cities and One Fundamental" in the future. The layout supports the development of Xi’an’s “6+5+6+1” modern industrial system, and at the same time it will become a “new engine” for the development of artificial intelligence industry in the northwest, and will radiate to the wider northwest region in the future.It contributes more value in the leap-forward development of the digital economy and industrial transformation and upgrading in the entire Northwestern region.
Objectively speaking, the development of artificial intelligence has entered a stage of deep integration with the industry. AI computing power reflects the cutting-edge computing power of a country, a region, and even a city. Therefore, Xi’an "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center" will exert more "head goose effect" in the future, and will release greater technological innovation power in industrial innovation, ecological construction and regional coordination, and contribute to the high quality of the digital economy in the Northwest region and even our country. Development creates new industries, new economies and new models with unlimited imagination.
computing power evolves to strengthen the foundation of the digital economy
It is worth mentioning that at Huawei Full Connect 2021, representatives of 21 cities including Xi’an also jointly light up the "artificial intelligence computing power network". In the future, the three convergences of “computing power, data, and ecology” will be realized through “one network” to support the efficient intercommunication and credible flow of models, data, and applications between regions. It will also make scientific research and innovation more efficient, and make artificial intelligence and industry more efficient. The integration is deeper, and it can also promote the development of China's AI industry in a new way of "co-construction, sharing, and co-promotion".
In fact, the artificial intelligence computing power network can be described as "born at the right moment". The background of its emergence is that with the continuous development of artificial intelligence computing centers in various regions, there are peaks and valleys in the use of AI computing power in different regions The situation is that the technical standards of each center are not uniform, the advantages of AI-related technologies are difficult to complement across regions, and the research and development of AI large models has the characteristics of phased, high-density computing power, so the computing power network interconnection between various artificial intelligence computing centers , Resource sharing, and coordinated scheduling have become "the general trend."
And the artificial intelligence computing power network, it is through the computing power network to connect the artificial intelligence computing centers in various places into a network, dynamically and real-time perceive the state of computing power resources, realize the overall distribution and scheduling of computing tasks, and constitute the area sensible , Allocable and schedulable AI computing resources, with "one network" to achieve "three convergences"- computing power convergence, data convergence, ecological convergence.
So, what does it mean behind the evolution and evolution from artificial intelligence computing center to artificial intelligence computing power network? It can be observed from the following three dimensions:
First of all, it can effectively promote the new urban infrastructure represented by the artificial intelligence computing center. Like water and electricity, it plays a more important role in the empowerment of urban industries and the digital transformation of enterprises. The role of. For example, platforms such as Xi'an "Future Artificial Intelligence Computing Center" can effectively resolve the challenges faced by enterprises such as lack of data required for model training, insufficient computing infrastructure capabilities, and high cost of artificial intelligence application solutions; On the other hand, new urban infrastructure can also plug in the wings of stronger artificial intelligence computing power in the industrial innovation and industrial development of various regions, and promote the high-quality development of the regional digital economy to go faster and further, and finally The direction enhances the enterprise's innovation ability, talent innovation motivation and the innovation vitality of the whole society.
Secondly, from the artificial intelligence computing center to the formation of artificial intelligence computing power network, it can also use more powerful computing resources to promote China to make greater breakthroughs and innovations in the field of artificial intelligence applications. Especially in recent years, the complexity of algorithm models has shown an exponential growth trend. Some models have approached the limit of artificial intelligence computing power. The largest AI language model GPT-3 in history recently announced by OpenAI has not only increased the model size to 175 billion , The amount of data has also reached an astonishing 45TB, and through the further convergence of computing resources, greater computing power can also be released, accelerating the promotion of AI innovation in the fields of unmanned driving, intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent transportation.
Finally, with the help of the "interconnection" of the artificial intelligence computing power network, we can further optimize the layout of artificial intelligence computing power in my country, realize the sharing of computing power resources in various regions, and better promote the AI technology ecology and business The development of the ecology will eventually create a new AI computing power ecology throughout the country.
In general, after years of continuous accumulation, the organic combination of accelerating accumulated technical capabilities with massive data resources, huge application requirements, and open market environment has formed a unique advantage in the development of artificial intelligence in my country, but at the same time It poses greater challenges to computing resources. In the process, the city represented by Xi’an,By continuously improving the scale of computing power resources and actively participating in the construction of artificial intelligence computing power networks, China will surely build a solid foundation for the development of digital economy in the new process of China's intelligent transformation. Its value can be described as "more than just now. It's more about the future."
