At around 2 a.m. on November 7, Beijing time, OpenAI held its first global developer conference and introduced a series of new features at the conference, such asGPT-4 Turbo , customized GPT, GPT store, etc. ChatGPT has become well-known since it exploded at the end of last year. Every product release will attract attention and heated discussions from developers, AI entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts from all over the world. The event was called "Technology Spring Festival Gala". The new features introduced were exciting, and the popularity of the product far exceeded OpenAI's expectations. The users' enthusiasm was "like a fire" and the server could not withstand it. ChatGPT crashed for an hour and a half.
Then the question is, in the face of huge network models, massive user data, and extensive application requirements, how to provide them withpowerful and stable computing power support" to make their debut. Eastern numbers and Western calculations? Next, let us invite an important guest - "
Counting from east to west
Does "numbering things and calculating things" look familiar to you? It is similar to the "West-to-East Gas Transmission" and "West-to-East Electricity Transmission". It is a strategic resource dispatching project in my country. The purpose is to complement the advantages of the East and West and optimize resource allocation.
The "number" in "East Number and West Number" refers to data, and "calculation" refers to computing power, that is, the ability to process data. So how is the computing power measured?
computing power unit
FLOPS (floating-point operations per second) refers to the number of floating-point operations per second. E means 1018, 1 EFLOPS = 1018 FLOPS, which means every 1018 floating point operations per second.
"Eastern Data and Western Computing" is to build a new computing power network system that integrates data centers, cloud computing, and big data to orderly guide the computing power demand from the east to the west, optimize the layout of data center construction, and promote collaborative linkage between the east and west. Simply put, it is to allow the computing resources in the west to more fully support the calculation of data in the east and better empower digital development.
In February 2022, the construction of national computing hub nodes was launched in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Chengdu-Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu, and Ningxia, and 10 national data center clusters were planned.
The eastern hub handles services with high network requirements such as industrial Internet, financial securities, disaster warning, telemedicine, video calls, and artificial intelligence reasoning. The Western Data Center handles back-end processing, offline analysis, storage backup and other services that do not require high network requirements.
Next, let us take a look at the basic situation and computing power development of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area".
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is an urban agglomeration composed of the two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao and nine cities in Guangdong Province. The "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan Outline" comprehensively plans the strategic positioning, development goals, spatial layout, etc. of the area.
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has many “business cards”, and its economic development has also attracted much attention. Let us let the numbers speak for themselves.
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is one of the areas with active digital economy development in my country. The following advantages provide good conditions for the rapid development of the digital economy.
Industrial advantages: Each city in the region has different industrial advantages. For example, Shenzhen is dominated by technological innovation, and Hong Kong is dominated by the financial industry. These advantages also provide opportunities for the rapid development of the digital economy. development provides a solid foundation.
International background: As an international city agglomeration, this district connects capital, technology and talent resources from all over the world. The convergence of this resource provides the basis for the development of the digital economy. Provides a good environment.
Policy support: The government and enterprises in the district actively promote digital transformation, strengthen talent training and technological innovation, and provide strong support for the development of the digital economy.
In addition to its strong economic strength and strong digital economic competitiveness, Guangdong Province also leads the country in digital infrastructure, digital innovation elements and digital policy environment, and has unique advantages in developing large computing power centers.
Since 2017, Guangdong Province has been committed to promoting the development of the digital economy, with special emphasis on building computing infrastructure. As of July 2021, Guangdong Province has constructed and put into operation approximately 310 data centers, including approximately 56.60,000 standard racks. The province's total computing power (excluding supercomputing) reaches 16 EFLOPS, accounting for about 1/6< of the country /span>of the country's network capacity and provides services to nearly 10% of the country's Internet users. . In addition, Guangdong Province currently carries nearly 10%
In the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Shaoguan data center cluster has become a key development node. The Shaoguan data center cluster strives to build 500,000 standard racks and 5 million servers by 2025, with an investment of more than 50 billion yuan, a PUE of 1.25, and a shelf rate of 80%, creating a 100-billion-level electronic information and big data industry. cluster.
Guangdong Province has many pioneering demonstration innovations, which provide the basis for policy and industrial development for the growth of data and the demand for computing power.
(1)The chief data officer (CDO) is responsible for promoting the use of data in economic operations, social governance, and market supervision. , public services and ecological environment protection and other fields, and promote the integration of social data and public data. Shaoguan City was identified as a pilot city for the chief data officer system in Guangdong Province in May 2021. This system aims to solve the problems of unclear data resources, low level of data sharing application and existing "data islands" in government departments.
(2) pioneered the concept ofdigital space in the field of academic research, aiming to build a new security environment through innovative data circulation. data utilization patterns. Under this model, personal digital spaces and legal person digital spaces have been launched on different platforms, providing convenient data management and authorization services for individuals and enterprises. Specifically, the Guangdong Province Platform has launched a personal digital space, which collects 95 types of commonly used personal licenses and 34 items of commonly used data, and has achieved a cumulative data sharing of 6.55 million authorized licenses. At the same time, the Guangdong Business Connect platform has launched a legal person digital space, which contains 30 types of commonly used enterprise licenses and 37 items of commonly used data.
(3) The first of its kind in Guangdong Provincedata broker, relying on professional intermediary services to explore new models of data circulation and transactions.
Development proposals
Strengthen the supporting role of computing power
It is recommended that Guangdong Province strengthen the connection between the computing power demand of Guangzhou and Shenzhen and the supply nodes of Shaoguan and Guizhou nodes in the "East-to-West" in the development of computing power. This can ensure the stability of computing power demand in the province's medium and long-term large model era in the future, improve economic benefits, and reduce potential energy risks.
At the same time, Guangdong Province should strengthen research and application exchanges between Shenzhen and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area nodes, work with Guizhou and Shaoguan to encourage two-way exchanges and interoperability among digital economy-related enterprises in the province, and provide support for Guangzhou and Shenzhen to vigorously develop strong computing power. This can help enterprises better cope with the challenges of digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading, and promote the application and innovation of large models in smart cities, smart manufacturing, smart transportation, smart healthcare, smart agriculture and other fields.
Adopt the CDO model
Guangdong initiated the governmentchief data officer (CDO) system to revitalize public data resources by improving the organizational management system. It is recommended to adopt the CDO cube model to evaluate the implementation of data center clusters in Shaoguan and other places.
The primary role played by the CDO is to ensure that the data produced by the organization and delivered to the computing center nodes are high-quality data and can be maintained and applied. Only in this way can the synergistic benefits of "numbering in the east and computing in the west" be brought into play in a true sense and achieve 1 The effect of +1>2.
Set CDO role
It is recommended to set up the role of the CDO in the "Eastern Numbers and Western Counting" project and plan according to the CDO role and responsibility cube model. It is necessary to clarify the evaluation dimensions of CDO, and define 8 different responsibilities of CDO through the three key dimensions of data space, value impact, and cooperation direction: coordinator, reporter, architect, manager, analyst, market pioneer, and development plan creators and experimental innovators.
