[Viewpoint] Artificial Intelligence Development Needs Supercomputing Support

Robotics> Robot Network News: The 6th high-performance computing user conference was held in Beijing on September 23. The theme of the conference was "intelligent super calculation". It attracted nearly a thousand users and experts from the research institutes, the Internet, aerospace, petroleum exploration, biomedicine, and other industries at home and abroad to share and discuss the development of super-computing and innovative technologies.

At present, with the rapid development of the global mobile Internet and the Internet of Things, the data that humans can access and use is increasing explosively. It is estimated that the global data volume will exceed 4 trillion GB in 2020. These massive amounts of big data will pass the latest deep learning technology. It will bring invaluable value to the development and application of artificial intelligence. However, the rapid development of deep learning technology, which is an important driving force of artificial intelligence, is in urgent need of high-performance computing (or supernumerary) application innovation, and changes are imperative.

Speech by Wang Endong, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and Chief Scientist of Inspur Group

Wang Endong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of Inspur Group, stated that smart computing based on cloud computing, big data as a cognitive method, and deep learning and calculation as optimization tools will be the driving force of this new transformation and will become the entire computing industry in the future. The most important and most important part of the program. In the new period of transformation, the convergence of high-performance computing, cloud computing, and big data will become more apparent, and will be more widely used in new areas such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and high-performance data analysis. Application-optimized high-performance computing system development and intelligent system management scheduling will become development trends.
