Academician Wu Heyi talks about "computing power": It is important to reduce the threshold. Enterprises must seize the opportunity to develop the computing power industry

After thermal and electricity, "computing power" has become a new key productivity. Today, the whole society has accelerated digital construction, computing power participation and the proportion of the proportion are getting higher and higher.

On July 30, the 2022 China Computing Power Conference was held in Jinan. At the meeting, the Red Star Capital Bureau learned that in 2021, the core industry scale of my country's computing power reached 1.5 trillion, and the number of affiliated industries exceeded 8 trillion. The scale of China's computing power industry has grown rapidly, with an average growth rate of more than 30%in the past five years, and the scale of computing power ranks second in the world.

The computing power will help the digital transformation and upgrading of the industry. How can computing power be fully transformed into productivity? How to use computing power easier? What are the development prospects of our country in the global market? In an interview with the media after the meeting, the academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering shared his thinking and attention of the current computing power industry in China.

Question 1: How to transform computing power into productivity?

"The computing power cannot be used as a plug -in, which is the same as the power. The use force needs to be used. First of all, there must be sufficient data to model the data and summarize the mathematical model in order to calculate it based on the data. "He Heye pointed out that although we have produced a lot of data, the proportion of real storage is not high enough, and the proportion of the final use is lower.

Wu Hexuan said that the ability to give full play to the data should be fully played from the source. He mentioned the digital transformation of small and medium -sized enterprises that SMEs do not need to buy equipment and software themselves. "For most small and medium -sized enterprises, we can actually use cloud services. We must promote cloud services to make more companies use it."

The development of computing power requires the foundation of the grass -roots industry, including data centers, chips, and front -end pre -processing and back -end applications. Wu Hexuan believes that these still need to meet the needs of different applications through development.

How to reduce the energy consumption of data centers is also a question worth studying. Wu Heyi mentioned the "East Digital West Calculation", that is, the useful energy of the west, cheaper electricity bills, and possible use of renewable energy to meet low -carbon needs. "Develop the computing power industry, the industrial chain is very long, and the data center is just a prominent central link in the computing power industry."

Question 2: There are many different needs of computing power in all walks of life. How can we make computing power simpler and more convenient to use?

Wu Heyi mentioned that the data is not "used", computing power needs to be calculated, and calculations need models, and the model is trained according to big data training, which means that the threshold for computing power modeling is very high. "But it can't be allowed to do these tasks, and they can't do it." He Heye said that it is very important to reduce the threshold for computing power.

According to He Heye, some companies abroad have opened hardware server resources, including model platforms for computing power algorithms. In China, large companies such as Baidu, Ali, and Huawei have also opened platforms, which means that as long as small and medium -sized enterprises have their willingness, they can use these platforms for data training. "At present, it has realized that it is necessary to make the computing power easier and reduce the threshold for use power."

Wu Hexuan believes that the data training of precision models requires national deployment of key areas for algorithm development. With the sufficient computing power resources, the threshold for calculation will be reduced.

Question 3: How many opportunities do China have in terms of computing power in the world?

Wu Heyi mentioned that in the global computing power distribution in 2021, China ranked second, second only to the United States, and China's basic computing power and intelligent computing power accounted for 27%and 26%of the global proportion, respectively. Among them, China surpassed the United States in the field of intelligent computing power. "China's data is greater, so I believe that less than a year or two will be used, and the total scale of China's computing power will exceed the United States."

The difference between Sino -US computing power mentioned that China ’s supercomputing and AI intelligent centers are mainly government, basic computing power is mainly operators and Internet companies, and the United States is mainly the Internet. Operators have clouds and networks. He Hexuan predicts that China may be in front of the United States in the future of cloud network integration.

The digital economy can be called the "nuclear engine" that drives economic growth. Taking Beijing as an example, in the first half of this year, the digital economy accounted for 43.3%of the city's GDP. Under the booming trend of the digital economy, the higher the proportion of high -tech manufacturing industries, the upgrade of the industrial structure of the sign, and the faster the new and old kinetic energy conversion. According to the official data of Shandong Province, in the first half of the year, the high -tech manufacturing industry increased by 15.5%, which was 10.7 percentage points higher than that of industries above designated size.

"Being computing power is a new engine of the digital economy, and the digital economy is also the growth point of our new economy." In the view of Wu Hezheng, the development of computing power must seize the opportunity. Different types of chips are suitable for different computing tasks, which means that if you want to play the ability of the chip, it is not enough to have a chip. It also needs to be planned reasonably and needs to be better cooperated with the algorithm. "In other words, to build an ecosystem that adapts to the calculation of AI chips, including chips, algorithms, front -end, terminal, edge computing, etc. This is a big and rare space. It is also an opportunity for China. I hope domestic in China. Enterprises can seize the opportunity to develop its own AI computing industry. "

Question 4: Every place is layout data centers. How to avoid disorderly competition?

In March of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued a notice of multiple departments to announce the comprehensive launch of the construction of the national integrated big data center coordinated innovation system. Ningxia and other eight places build national computing power hubs, and planned 10 national data centers clusters to vigorously promote the "East Digital West Calculation" project. This is also after the "South Water Diversion", "West Division," and "Western Qi East", another cross -regional key strategic project is allocated across regional resources. Wu Hexuan believes that the construction of the eight major hubs and the top ten data centers is to guide the development of hot data in the East to regulate the hot data. The west better supports the cold data of the country and does not make disorderly construction.

However, in the hub, there are data centers built by different enterprises. Wu Hexuan pointed out that the current data centers are not enough. Local governments should be uniformly coordinated. "At least on public energy, electricity, water, etc. To optimize, and even the backup between data centers can get a good complementarity. "

Wu Hexuan believes that another direction that needs optimization is regional collaboration. "We hope that the large data center is the three centers of the two places, at least there are different places, so the data center and the spare data center will communicate and communicate." Wu Heyi pointed out that the greater synergy lies in the east and west, "for example, for example, for example, We hope that Ningxia in Gansu will collaborate with Shanghai's data center, and hope that the hot data in the east will turn to the west. Who will communicate between the two places? ","

After establishing a data center, finding a way to play a role, it seems more important to Xun Hezheng. "For example, it is necessary to build a large data center now, but the user cannot keep up, and the market has not kept up. It is equivalent to idle after building. Once the chip is overdone, it is Bai Jian, so you need to better combine the market needs."

Wu Hexuan said that the data center is a heavy asset, and the return on return is relatively slow. Regarding the construction data center of the Western region, Xi Hexuan believes that it is difficult to get back immediately. In the future, it should work hard to develop value -added services, security guarantees, or service quality guarantee. "The industrial chain of the data center has just begun. It is right to grab this center link, but it is necessary to extend to the entire industry chain to exert its value."
