"Let users use computing power as conveniently as electricity." At the beginning of the new year, Gao Wen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Pengcheng Laboratory, is busy promoting various tasks and continuing to expand the "China Computing Power Network", especially the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Strengthen the construction of district computing power dispatch center.
Pengcheng Laboratory is located in Xili, Shenzhen, in a park of 5 office buildings. It has gathered nearly 30 basic research studios led by academicians and nearly 2,000 scientific research talents. It can be called the "most powerful brain" in the field of national network and communications. .
As the director of the laboratory, Gao Wen has been thinking about how artificial intelligence can better serve the development of the Greater Bay Area, national strategies and regional development.
"In the era of artificial intelligence, computing power is productivity." Gao Wen said that a "computing power network" should be built like building a power grid to link the country's computing power, both nationally and globally: with Pengcheng Laboratory as the headquarters The dispatch center's north direction passes through Shaoguan, Guangdong, linking the major nodes of the country's "Eastern Digital and Western Counting"; its southbound export passes through the Loop and connects to Hong Kong, making it easier to integrate into the global innovation environment.
After the two major data channels are opened, one in the south and one in the north, one inside and one outside, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will become the driving force and bridgehead for national artificial intelligence technology and industry and international cooperation.
To this end, Gao Wen led the laboratory team, invested a lot of energy, and achieved fruitful results: the first domestically produced E-class artificial intelligence computing power platform "Pengcheng Cloud Brain II" has a computing power of tens of billions per second, which is equivalent to The combined computing power of 520,000 home computers has reached the world's leading level; the "Pengcheng Brain" general artificial intelligence large model was officially released, realizing independent controllability of the entire "computing power-data-algorithm" chain, and building a network covering 50 A diverse tool set in more than one partner language is open to global open source; in December 2023, the Hong Kong city node of the "China Computing Power Network" was officially established. This is the result of a joint collaboration between Pengcheng Laboratory and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which means that Hong Kong scientists can also rely on the mainland and use the country's computing power to carry out scientific research.
"Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation is a two-way street, mutually beneficial." Gao Wen said that the laboratory needs to take advantage of Hong Kong's international advantages to strengthen global cooperation. At the same time, as a national scientific research institution based in the Greater Bay Area, the laboratory has the obligation to lead Hong Kong Develop together.
Gao Wen and his team not only actively strengthen cooperation with Hong Kong in science and technology, but also set up the relevant Greater Bay Area Science and Technology Innovation Fund to help Hong Kong's science and technology community better benefit from the motherland's good technological innovation and industry incubation environment and realize innovation and entrepreneurship. Dream, we can also take advantage of the vast market in the mainland to quickly put practical issues jointly tackled into the market.
"Only when the scientific research and industrial ecology of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area gets better and better, can Pengcheng Laboratory better become a fertile soil for gathering resources and stimulating innovation." Gao Wen lamented.
Over the years, he has continuously witnessed and participated in promoting the efficient gathering and integration of various elements in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: the increasingly frequent flow of high-end talents across regions, the intensive construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure, and the coordinated coordination of strategic planning at the provincial, municipal and other levels... …
"The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has stood at the forefront of technological development." When it comes to the future, Gao Wen is confident and confident. He and his team will continue to conquer a number of key core technologies that are urgently needed by the country and industry, and contribute to the country's technological self-reliance and self-reliance. Make greater contributions to the development of global scientific and technological innovation.
