Since the beginning of the year, with the key breakthrough of large models, the public's attention to artificial intelligence has reached a new high. AI with deep learning as the core is inviting all walks of life in the world to dance together. The evolution of AI computing hardware must also resonate with the computing power needs of the entire society.
The large model increases the demand for computing power exponentially. Can the computing hardware break through? On March 20th, the GTC 2023 Developer Conference will come as scheduled, so it is natural to answer this question. GTC released the NVIDIA reasoning platform based on L4 and L40. The X620 G50 all-round AI server released by domestic AI server manufacturer Ningchang is also the first to support the newly released NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU and NVIDIA L40 Tensor Core GPU.

NVIDIA and Ning Chang join hands to build a foundation for computing power, a grand dance in the era of AI and the metaverse, what will happen next?
Quantitative change leads to intellectual change:
The prom door opened by AI
Since the beginning of 2023, AI represented by large language models has entered a new stage, which can bring unimaginable economic value theoretically and logically, and has become a topic of global attention.
The opening of the dance party in the age of AI and the metaverse relies on the "quantitative change leads to intelligent change" of AI computing.
The so-called quantitative change refers to "ultra-large-scale computing + ultra-large-scale model + sufficient training process", using powerful computing to improve AI performance. Even the largest "big model" is still not big enough - the model parameters are still increasing, the larger the amount of data, the better the reasoning performance, and the multi-modal large model needs more training. To be sure, to continue to realize the potential of AI, strong and abundant computing power is the prerequisite.
The so-called intelligent change refers to the phenomenon of intelligent "emergence" in AI on the basis of "big computing power + big data + big model", which is reflected in the fact that the big language model has recently begun to have strong comprehension capabilities and long text generation capabilities , is one of the underlying technologies of new industries such as AIGC and Metaverse. Quantitative changes in computing have brought about "smart changes" in AI, pushing AI into a new stage of large-scale production and application.
This has brought about new problems. On the one hand, AI has to go to various industry scenarios, resulting in an increase in the overall demand for computing power, further exacerbating the imbalance between supply and demand of computing power; Diversified computing needs require customized computing power solutions to meet them.
Computing power has become an "entry ticket" for a country, a region, an industry, or even an enterprise. Is the computing industry ready?
GTC 2023，
NVIDIA and Ning Chang go to the covenant of the times
The computing power demand of thousands of industries has driven the computing industry to provide a set of brand-new solutions to undertake and promote the continuous occurrence of changes.
At GTC 2023, we saw the cooperation between hardware manufacturer NVIDIA and Ningchang to meet the computing power demand for the further development of industrial intelligence.
First, the performance of AI chips has leapt. GPU has efficient parallelism in deep learning reasoning, and its advantages in AI computing are undoubted. The NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU released at GTC 2023 can provide up to 4 times performance improvement, and also improve video and graphics processing performance. 4 times, especially for AI video and generative AI, in terms of content such as text, audio files or images, it has achieved a 2.7 times generative AI performance improvement compared to the previous generation GPU.
Second, the AI server is friendly to applications. Ningchang AI server is the first to support NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU, giving full play to the computing power advantages of the latest AI hardware to meet the needs of various computing-intensive applications, such as machine learning, AI reasoning, cloud computing, cloud storage, big data, virtual chemical, office systems, etc.
The latest step that computing companies have taken together has created a new computing power base with great performance advantages, high technical barriers, and great practical application value.
Thousands of industries,
Dance with AI computing power experts
At present, China has reached the forefront of industrial intelligence relying on rich industrial demand and the enthusiasm of the whole society for transformation and upgrading. This is both an opportunity and a great challenge for the industry. In addition to the insufficient supply of computing power, the mismatch between computing power and its own business characteristics, and the low cost performance of units are also concerns for enterprises to become intelligent.
As an AI computing power expert, Ning Chang dances with thousands of industries on three levels:
The first is technological superiority. Use technology to help industrial transformation and upgrading. For example, the Ningchang X620 G50 this time uses a variety of Ningchang self-developed technologies and services to improve heat dissipation performance by 8%, reduce power consumption by 15%, and reduce noise by 10%, which is in line with the corporate green Energy saving requirements.
Followed by industrial advantages. Ningchang attaches great importance to cooperation with ecological partners, and its products have passed NVIDIA NVQual and NVIDIA certification system tests, with strong adaptability and compatibility.
Furthermore, it is close to the industry. Customization is Ningchang's unique business model. Through "calm calculations", it brings industry customers the optimal solution for computing power, and provides "tailor-made" computing power solutions. The Ningchang X620 G50 launched this time is a multi It can meet the needs of multi-scenario applications.
Regarding digital and intelligent transformation, many companies feel that "I understand the truth, but it is difficult and expensive to do." Ningchang dances with industry customers, allowing enterprises to unravel the shackles of AI computing power.
The dance party in the era of intelligence has just begun, and all walks of life are at the starting point of being transformed by intelligent technology. "Dancing" with AI computing power experts embraces the initiative of computing power and makes their dance steps more calm in the AI era.
