Huawei officially launched the Ascend 910 processor, which, according to experts, is considered the most powerful artificial intelligence processor in the world, and launched a complete work system for the computing of artificial intelligence under the name "MindSpore".

"We've made steady progress since we announced the AI ​​strategy in October last year," said Eric Shaw, chairman of Huawei.

"Everything is moving forward according to plan, from research and development to product launch. We have promised a full range of AI products, and today, with the release of Ascend 910 and MindSport, we have introduced a new phase in Huawei's AI strategy."

Supernatural processor
Huawei has made an important advancement in the field of artificial intelligence processors, ascend 910 processor has improved the performance of the processor with less power consumption than planned.

For complex operations, it consumes a maximum power of only 310 watts, well below the standard specifications of 350 watts. "The Ascend 910's performance is much better than we expected," said Shaw. "Undoubtedly, it has more computing power than any other AI processor in the world."

At the same time, Huawei's MindSport AI platform provides easy development environment, efficient implementation and adaptation to all scenarios.

Since it only deals with gradient and model information that has already been processed, Mindspeed helps ensure user privacy. In addition, MindSport has 20% fewer programming lines than the underlying code compared to the major systems in the market, and helps developers increase their efficiency by at least 50%.

"MindSport will become open source in the first quarter of 2020. We want to achieve broader adoption of AI and help developers do better," Xu said.

Integrated Development Group
Huawei Artificial Intelligence Development Group covers all scenarios and tools, including: Ascend series processors, CANN programming chip, Mindspore programming and training system, and the application-enabled platform called ALERT.

Huawei believes that AI will be used in almost every sector of the economy, but there are a number of gaps that need to be filled before AI can become a true general purpose technology.

With the launch of Ascend 910 and MindSport, Huawei is on track to achieve its AI goals.
