“Innovation” was mentioned many times in the communique of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. “Making breakthroughs in key core technologies and entering the forefront of innovative countries” was included in the 2035 long-term goal and proposed “Insist on innovation in the modernization of our country”. The core position in the overall situation, the independence of science and technology as the strategic support of national development."

　　On November 26th, at the 2020 Smart Computing Future User Conference held in Wuxi City, experts reached a consensus: The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal recommendations that were reviewed and approved are the transformation and upgrading of my country's supercomputers. Accelerating cross-border applications and building a new pattern of supercomputing development ecology provide new development opportunities that are rare in a lifetime.

Supercomputing cross-border integration

Will give birth to a trillion-level economy

　　According to Zhang Yunquan, a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after decades of development, my country's supercomputing has formed a technological advantage and pattern that can basically meet the national strategic needs and serve the "main battlefield" of the economy.

At present, the overall machine development level of supercomputers has entered the world's advanced ranks.

Especially in the past 10 years, due to the development of the "Tianhe" and "Shenwei" series, "Tianhe 2" and "Shenwei Taihu Light" have won the championship 11 times in a row.

Therefore, the overall hardware system integration level and strength of my country's supercomputers are beyond doubt internationally.

　　Zhang Yunquan told reporters that in the past, my country's development of supercomputers was completely subject to technological blockades and restrictions from developed countries such as the United States and Japan.

Now, due to the continuous improvement of my country's supercomputing hardware and system development level, not only has the key core technology been independent, safe and controllable, but also many supercomputing products have entered the European, American and Middle Eastern markets.

The ability to achieve such rapid development is mainly due to the fact that my country has always been ahead of schedule and research and development.

At present, my country is accelerating the development of E-class supercomputers.

　　Zhang Yunquan believes that supercomputing must be produced nationwide, which is a goal that will definitely be achieved.

Supercomputing is like high-speed rail. We have all its key technologies, especially after localization, the cost will be rapidly reduced, the price will have an advantage, and the service level will continue to rise.

It is foreseeable that in the future, there will be many Chinese-made supercomputers in the world, including research and development, which may be monopolized by China.

Although the United States and Japan are unwilling to accept, this cannot stop the pace of my country's supercomputing development and will lead the world's supercomputing development in the future.

　　Zhang Yunquan introduced that the overall layout and implementation of the country's new infrastructure projects has driven the development of the artificial intelligence market, and has also forced supercomputers to shift from a single service to national needs in the past to service industries and the economy.

At present, supercomputing has begun to integrate and innovate with cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data, etc., that is, computing intelligence that is emerging, will drive the national economy to transform into a digital economy.

In the future, as supercomputers achieve full localization and deep integration with new-generation information technology, a trillion-level economic scale will be born.

Develop computational intelligence

Need to rely on "dual strength" to solve shortcomings

　　However, in Zhang Yunquan's eyes, supercomputing must truly play a special role and provide important support for the realization of "science and technology self-reliance". It is urgent to further exert the "dual power" of the country and society to solve the current "shortcomings" as soon as possible.

Among them, the lack of talents for supercomputing applications, business models and supercomputing cross-border applications are some of the more prominent problems.

　　"Now that so many innovation centers such as supercomputers and smart computing have been built in various places, how to apply them, what are their direct contributions to innovation, how to recover operating costs, how to achieve profitability, etc., these must be considered first. In fact. At present, some innovation centers that have been built may still be idle sometimes or for a period of time, that is to say, they are insufficiently used." Zhang Yunquan said.

　　"This is because in the past, over-calculation was invested and guided by the government, and the market basically did not participate. Including its research and development and application, it was led by the government, mainly to serve the needs of the country. But now we start Breakthroughs, especially because of the increasing demand for commercial applications, some social capital directly invests or participates in the construction of innovation centers such as supercomputers and smart calculations. Therefore, the government should guide relevant institutions and enterprises to focus on innovative business models." Zhang Yunquan said.

　　"The key to the current development of computational intelligence lies in the three major elements of big data, algorithms, and computing power. For supercomputing, it must be further improved on the existing basis. If there is no breakthrough, it will directly affect the integrated application of supercomputing Zhang Yunquan pointed out, “The computing power infrastructure cannot be ignored. It is necessary to define a new standard of computing power for intelligent computing. At the same time, it is necessary to solve the problem of the serious shortage of talents for cross-border applications of supercomputing as soon as possible. Reform the curriculum system and add basic knowledge such as artificial intelligence + super computing + cloud computing to cultivate professional talents in the field of computing intelligence for the country."
