2022 China Computing Power Conference released the excellent results of "Innovation Pioneer"

On July 29th, the first China Hashrate Conference was held in Jinan, Shandong.This is the first provincial-ministerial joint meeting in the country with the theme of data center computing power empowerment.

At the main forum of the Computing Power Conference, Wang Jian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and founder of Alibaba Cloud, delivered a keynote speech on "Digital Economy: From Electricity to Computing Power".

"Digitalization today is electrification a hundred years ago. The combination of data resources and computing power will bring about a sharp decline in the consumption of traditional resources. From 2010 to 2018, the global computing volume has increased by 500%, increasing these computing volumesThe increased energy consumption has only increased by 6%. Among them, the emergence of cloud computing is very meaningful."

Wang Jian said, "Cloud computing is the foundation of the digital economy, just as electricity is the foundation of the industrial economy. We go from the agricultural economy to the industrial economy to the digital economy, and the industrial economy is the electricity economy. That's why todaySo far, our economic development can be measured by electricity. In the era of digital economy, computing is a very important indicator to measure economic development.”

The conference also released the first batch of outstanding achievements of "Innovative Pioneers".

Alibaba Cloud's Panjiu liquid cooling solution and Aurora heterogeneous computing platform were selected as outstanding achievements in the low-carbon category and system category, respectively, and displayed in the exhibition area of ​​the computing power conference center, reflecting the innovative style of the national new data center.

Panjiu Liquid Cooling Solutions

Full immersion liquid cooling technology is a huge innovation in data centers. It pioneers immersing servers in insulating cooling liquid, and the heat generated can be directly absorbed by the cooling liquid into the external circulation cooling, and the whole process is used for heat dissipation energy consumptionAlmost zero, server cooling no longer needs fans, air conditioners, and cooling components.

The average annual PUE (Power Usage Efficiency) of this liquid cooling solution is less than 1.09, which is far ahead of the national average, breaking the cooling bottleneck and solving the demand for higher performance computing in the future. At the same time, the overall server failure rate can be reduced by 50%, greatly improving reliability.As early as 2020, Alibaba announced that the technical specification will be open to the whole society.

Aurora Heterogeneous Computing Platform

The Aurora Heterogeneous Computing Platform is a unified compilation and software-hardware co-optimization software designed by Alibaba Cloud for various machine learning algorithms, applications, and high-performance computing in data centers, edge computing, and AIoT scenarios.Efficient integration and smooth migration of various acceleration hardware.

At the same time, it shields the architectural differences of heterogeneous computing hardware for algorithms and applications, and quickly connects to various upper-layer machine learning frameworks to achieve non-aware multi-terminal rapid deployment and improve development efficiency.

At present, Aurora has published 9 related papers and 24 international patents at the top international conferences through technological innovation.

In the MLPerf open test of the international authoritative AI benchmark performance test, Aurora broke the world record for image classification performance by processing 1.078 million images per second.And in 2022, MLPerf Inference 2.0 and MLPerf Tiny v0.7 have achieved a number of industry firsts in inference performance.

The Aurora platform won many firsts in the latest MLPerf list
