Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: The demand for computing power has expanded by 300,000 times in 6 years, and the construction of data centers should not be in place

On the morning of July 30, one of the main forums of the 2022 China Computing Power Conference, "Computing Power Building High -quality Development" was held in Jinan. New Yellow River reporter learned from the scene that the academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering pointed out that in the global computing power distribution in 2021, China ranked second, second only to the United States. Among them, China surpassed the United States in the field of intelligent computing power, accounting for 26%of the world. AI application driving power demand has grown rapidly, and data center construction should not be in place.

At the forum, He Hezheng gave a keynote speech on "Thinking of the Data Center" Mathematics "and" Arithmetic ".

Wu Hexuan said that the demand for AI application driving power has grown rapidly. From 2012 to 2019, the computing power demand has expanded by 300,000 times in the 6 years, that is, the doubles of 3.5 months. 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 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.

In response to "cold data" and "hot data", He Heye said that the recent data generated is hot data. After a week or months, the thermal data will turn to warm or cold data. The east is suitable for processing hot data, and the west is suitable for processing cold data. East counting and west calculations are actually east.

Speaking of data centers, He Hexuan said that the data center needs to work for 7 × 24 hours, but it is usually not calculated in 7 × 24 hours. According to the McKinsey report, most of the power energy is used to maintain server status, only 6%-12%for calculation. He believes that data centers need to be based on large data centers with higher effects in the long -term construction, but do not take one step in place.
