Huawei Intelligent Computing Conference calls for building an open Kunpeng + Ascend computing ecosystem to achieve win-win in the era of diverse computing

[51CTO.com original article] On August 29, during the 2019 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the "2019 Huawei Intelligent Computing Conference Shanghai" was grandly held. At this conference, Huawei invited many industry customers, partners, business elites, and technology experts to share with everyone the future development trends of the computing industry, discuss the Kunpeng computing ecosystem, and Huawei's intelligent computing and Huawei Cloud industry application practices. At the same time, Huawei also made a rich display at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, covering multiple fields such as chips, 5G+ industry applications, Huawei Cloud full-stack full-scenario, Ascend computing platform, Kunpeng computing platform, etc., which attracted great attention from the industry.

The Kunpeng + Ascend computing industry ecosystem is gaining momentum

Lu Yong, President of Huawei China Region, said in his speech at the 2019 Huawei Intelligent Computing Conference that with the advent of the intelligent world, the diversity of business and data will inevitably drive the transformation of computing diversity. In the era of diverse computing, the development of the computing industry will be more diversified, and openness, cooperation, and win-win will become the main theme. Huawei will adhere to the three concepts of "focusing on technology, open enablement, and partner priority" and actively invest in the construction of the Kunpeng + Ascend computing industry ecosystem.

Ma Haixu, President of Huawei's Intelligent Computing Business Unit, gave a clearer description of the future blueprint of the "Kunpeng + Ascend computing industry ecosystem". He revealed that Huawei has proposed a diverse computing concept, targeting different applications and promoting computing innovation by restoring Moore's Law at the system level through a variety of computing power combinations. It is hoped that through two chip series, namely the Kunpeng processor for general computing scenarios and the Ascend AI processor for artificial intelligence scenarios, the computing industry will move towards the era of intelligent and diverse computing.

Huawei not only shared its views on the future intelligent world on site, but also gave practical and feasible practical methods in a very pragmatic way. Hong Fangming, President of Huawei Cloud China, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Kunpeng Lingyun, Huawei Cloud Helps Enterprises Innovate and Take Off". He said that under the background of the superposition of "cloud + AI + 5G" technology, the computing industry will enter a stage of diversified computing power, and enterprises also need diversified cloud service architectures. Now, Huawei Cloud has launched Huawei Cloud Kunpeng cloud services and solutions for industry scenarios based on Kunpeng processors, opening up a new diversified architecture on the cloud and helping enterprises enter the Cloud2.0 era. Hong Fangming made an initiative on site, inviting Shanghai partners to join the "Kunpeng Lingyun Partner Program", which will invest 100 million yuan in ecological funds in the first batch, and work with partners to jointly build an open and win-win Kunpeng ecosystem to help the innovation and development of the industry.

At the booth, Ascend and Kunpeng attracted great attention

At the 2019 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Huawei's exhibition hall attracted a lot of guests to stop and watch. Among them, the Ascend computing platform and Kunpeng computing platform were the most eye-catching.

At the Atlas full-scenario demonstration of the Ascend computing platform, Huawei demonstrated the Atlas full-scenario AI solution based on the Ascend AI chip, providing various forms of Atlas artificial intelligence computing platform products, such as servers, acceleration cards, edge smart stations, and device-side acceleration modules. In particular, the application scenarios of Atlas attracted many people to listen carefully to the explanations of the on-site staff - in the operator's data center, Atlas can deploy AI servers to accelerate business analysis and decision-making; in insurance companies, AI acceleration cards speed up the speed and accuracy of reviewing claims documents; in hospitals, smart stations and AI acceleration cards improve the efficiency and accuracy of image analysis; smart stations installed at intersections allow traffic lights to flexibly adjust the lighting time according to the traffic flow, speed up traffic efficiency, and reduce congestion.

At the scene, many people also saw a more detailed application demonstration of Atlas: Shandong Zhiyang's intelligent transmission operation and inspection solution, through the intelligent monitoring device, transmits the real-time images of the transmission line to the online monitoring device developed based on Atlas 200. The overall system can quickly identify abnormal conditions around the transmission line and return abnormal images, and simultaneously generate alarm information and processing suggestions.

Huawei TaiShan server is an important part of Kunpeng computing platform. As a star product, it also attracted a lot of attention at the exhibition site. TaiShan server is Huawei's new generation of data center server, based on Huawei Kunpeng 920 processor, designed to meet the needs of data center diversity computing and green computing. It has three major characteristics: high-performance computing, security and reliability, and open ecology. Taking high-performance computing as an example, TaiShan server gives full play to the multi-core computing, high concurrency, and low power consumption of Huawei Kunpeng processor, providing high-performance computing power for big data, distributed storage, database, HPC and other applications, improving customer service experience and reducing data center energy consumption and operating costs.

Huawei uses two-pronged approach to rally the Kunpeng ecosystem

The "Kunpeng Industry Ecosystem Innovation Center" was officially launched at the 2019 Huawei Intelligent Computing Conference, and the "Shanghai Kunpeng Ecosystem Alliance" was established.

Among them, the "Kunpeng Industry Ecosystem Innovation Center" cooperates with Huawei in Xuhui District, Shanghai to build a diversified technology carrier system with Huawei Kunpeng technology as the core, integrating AI, software services and other capabilities, as well as a talent training system and ecological system for the information technology application innovation industry in Shanghai and even the whole country, setting a benchmark for the information technology application innovation industry ecology and a benchmark for smart application display.

By establishing the "Shanghai Kunpeng Ecosystem Alliance", Huawei can also provide partners with rich online and offline resources, helping partners to quickly and easily obtain Kunpeng development-related resources, and work together to promote the construction of an open, innovative and win-win Kunpeng computing industry ecosystem.
