IPF2022 Inspur Information Ecological Partner Conference Held
Innovative IT technologies such as AI, metaverse, cloud, and big data are increasingly integrated into the all-round and whole process of economic and social development, and promote the continuous deepening of the integration of the digital world and the physical world. The upgrade from traditional computing to smart computing has become the key to this change.
Everything in the digital world is calculated, and smart computing is playing an increasingly important role in accelerating innovation and discovery, promoting the combination of the digital economy and the real economy, and spawning new industries, new formats and new models. Inspur Information has become an important force driving the high-quality development of the digital economy by continuously innovating computing power, algorithms, and data infrastructure to promote the new infrastructure of the intelligent computing center.
Global Computing Power Index report released, quantitatively revealing the multiplier effect of computing power and economy
The rapid development of the digital economy and the in-depth integration of digital and real will create huge demands on computing power. According to the calculation of Inspur Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, it is estimated that the global computing power scale will reach 6.8Z FLOPS (FP16) by 2025, an increase of 30 times compared with 2020. At the same time, computing power, as a new technology productivity, has become the core support and driving force for mining the value of data elements and promoting the development of the digital economy.
During the conference, Inspur Information, IDC and Tsinghua University jointly launched the "2021-2022 Global Computing Power Index Evaluation Report", which quantitatively revealed the correlation and mutual pulling effect between GDP, digital economy and computing power of major countries in the world. The report shows that in the era of digital economy, investment in computing power has a long-term and multiplier effect: for every 1 point increase in a country's computing power index, the digital economy and GDP will increase by 0.35‰ and 0.18‰ respectively. When a country's computing power index reaches 40 points and 60 points, for every 1 point increase in the computing power index, its driving force for GDP growth will increase by 1.5 times and 3.0 times respectively.
Large computing power + large model, comprehensive upgrade of intelligent computing infrastructure
The era of intelligent computing is the era of computing power, and the intelligent computing center is the leading data center and the necessary infrastructure in the era of wisdom, just like water conservancy is for the agricultural society, and electricity is for the industrial society. The intelligent computing center not only includes computing power infrastructure, but also algorithm infrastructure. Peng Zhen, CEO of Inspur Information, said that under the overall planning of the country, the construction of a national computing power hub project has begun, and computing power infrastructure has become the consensus of all walks of life. Let more enterprises enjoy universal and inclusive intelligent computing services.
In order to comply with the development trend of algorithm infrastructure, Inspur Information has formulated an evolution route for the upgrading and development of algorithm models: the first stage is characterized by supervised learning and identification applications; the second stage is characterized by single-modality and self-supervised learning; the third stage is characterized by Stages are characterized by multimodal, self-supervised learning. In the next stage, the algorithmic model will enter a hypermodal active learning stage that interacts with the physical world. At present, Inspur Information is in the process of evolution from the second stage to the third stage.
Last year, Inspur Artificial Intelligence Industry Research Institute released the world's largest Chinese artificial intelligence model "Yuan". At this year's conference, Inspur Information released the latest skill models generated by the "Yuan" large model, including knowledge-enhanced dialogue models, Knowledge retrieval question answering model, Chinese-English translation model, ancient text understanding model.
