On February 17th, Zhongxin Finance and Economics reported that after the "South-to-North Water Diversion Project", "West-East Gas Transmission" and "West-East Electricity Transmission", "East counts and West counts" is here!
Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments jointly issued a notice agreeing to start the construction of national computing power hub nodes in 8 places including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Chengdu-Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu, and Ningxia, and planned 10 nodes. cluster of national data centers.
So far, the overall layout design of the national integrated big data center system has been completed, and the "East and West" project has been officially launched.
On the 17th, the head of the High Technology Department of the National Development and Reform Commission introduced when answering a reporter’s question about the situation of “East and West Counting”. As of now, the scale of my country’s data centers has reached 5 million standard racks, and the computing power has reached 130EFLOPS (ten thousand per second). 300 petaflops).
With the continuous penetration of digital technology into all areas of the economy and society, the demand for computing power in the whole society is still very urgent, and it is expected to continue to grow rapidly at a rate of more than 20% every year.
The person in charge said that the implementation of the "East and West" project to promote the rational layout of data centers, optimize supply and demand, green intensification and interconnection will help improve the country's overall computing power level, promote green development, and expand effective investment.
How to speed up the construction of an integrated computing power system of "East Digital and Western Computing"?
The National Development and Reform Commission stated that it is necessary to further increase overall planning, give play to the superposition effect of policies, promote the optimization of the layout of computing power and the reform and innovation of systems and mechanisms in an integrated manner, accelerate the improvement of the influence and agglomeration power of the 8 major computing power hubs, and drive the national computing power. Integrated and coordinated development.
