/PRCWT/Guangzhou, August 21, 2023——Recently, the 2023 China Computing Power Conference co-sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the People's Government of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was held in Yinchuan. Zte made its debut at the conference with the theme of "New growth of digital intelligence, Rising computing Power", demonstrating innovative technologies and practical achievements in the field of computing power Wang Xiang, chief strategy officer, also shared the keynote speech of the "Number of things to integrate 100 industries" at the main forum, which told about the five dimensions of the innovation computing power era that ZTE believes that the industrial number intelligence should be applied to the target, strengthen the network calculation bow, tighten the innovation string, enhance the energy efficiency arrow, and create an ecological array.
With the trend to cross the industry inflection point to open the growth curve
Wang Xiang said that in the era of digital economy, computer games are a new form of productivity expression, which is profoundly affecting the trend of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. To this end, if an enterprise wants to stand out in the current competition, it needs to combine the efforts of the enterprise and the dividends of The Times, that is, to achieve the maximum development potential with the "Alpha of ability X beta of the era".
Wang Xiang pointed out that computing power is not just a server, storage or network, but a systematic project. He pointed out that the nature of technology is to improve efficiency, the direction of improvement is to eliminate shortcomings, the way of development is to iterate constantly, in the past, the network is the short board of competition, to the 5G era, the lack of intelligence has become a short board.
From the perspective of industry digitalization, it can be boiled down to five elements: "sense, communication, calculation, intelligence and control". Among them, "sense" represents the acquisition of information, "pass" is the transmission of communication information, "calculation" refers to the speed of information processing, "wisdom" is the degree of analysis and understanding of information, and "control" is the ability to schedule after the completion of analysis. From the perspective of computing power development, the evolution of industry digitalization is a process of continuously eliminating shortcomings in these elements and continuously improving efficiency.
Wang Xiang analyzed from the two dimensions of "time" and "potential" and pointed out that from the perspective of the macroeconomic cycle, we are in the stage of superposition at the bottom of the three cycles, and from the perspective of long-term deterministic trend, artificial intelligence and computing power will open a new round of innovation cycle. To this end, enterprises should "take advantage of the trend", actively grasp the current cycle state, lock in the long-term trend ability, and "the ability of key elements X the dividend of the era of intelligence" to cross the industry inflection point and open a new growth curve.
Develop a new industrial pattern around the five dimensions of "target, bow, string, arrow and array"
Wang Xiang elaborated ZTE's industrial insight and development strategy in the new computing era around the five dimensions of "target, bow, string, arrow and array".
First of all, "application as the target", in the era of digital intelligence, enterprises need to take the application scenario as the benchmark, and carry out continuous innovation with "use" as the traction. Wang Xiang introduced that in the industry introduction and development before and during the medium term, the main task is to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the technology, but the light can not form an industry, the core of the industry is efficient, to this end, in the middle and late period of industry development, the need to achieve economies of scale through the standardization of the scene and the standardization of the elements to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
In addition, when we do a business, the speed of development is critical, and we need to adopt a platformized approach to accelerate the deployment of the business. At the same time, in order to promote the coordinated development of more fields, we need to realize business transaction, ecological coordination and popularization.
He introduced that under this concept, ZTE launched the Digital Nebula platform, which can split the experience of each automation point into elements, so that different industries can quickly find suitable solutions when encountering similar scenes, to improve production efficiency and reduce the technical threshold.
At present, relying on the "5G+ digital nebula" architecture, ZTE focuses on 15 key industries such as industrial manufacturing, metallurgical steel, mining, and has created hundreds of industry digital benchmarking projects, and won many honors including the 2023GSMA Global Mobile Award, the United Nations WSIS Champion Award, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology "Blooming Cup" national first prize and the gold medal of benchmarking competition.
Secondly, "net calculation is a bow", after the opening of the industry, it is necessary to strengthen the basic ability to create a strong computing base. At present, the spatial division between the logical operation and the physical carrier has been formed. Therefore, in terms of division of labor, distance crossing and industry control, we need to achieve efficient assurance under large-space scheduling in different aspects, while achieving seamless collaboration under multi-service scheduling.
He also pointed out that there is a lot of attention in the industry to industry-wide large models. But for enterprises, we should pay more attention to how large models create value in industry applications.
To this end, ZTE will optimize the evolution, provide AI infrastructure services for basic large models with extensive knowledge and can be applied in different fields, fully support the training and reasoning of large models, at the same time, for specific industry applications, launch industry large models to provide AI model services, efficiently empower the digital transformation of the industry, and for specific scenario applications, will create scene large models For exclusive services to accelerate the innovative exploration of large models in the industrial scene, and become the best choice for the realization of industrial value.
At the same time, "innovation is the string", in the era of digital intelligence, the industrial chain and the form of competition are constantly changing, enterprises need to adhere to innovation to strengthen industrial resilience and momentum. Wang Xiang stressed that the "core" is as big as the world is, we must ensure that the lower limit, break through the upper limit, at present, ZTE has built a digital base with integrity and autonomy, to the full range of network, cloud products, independent research and development of the core dedicated chip, database and operating system to build the ultimate experience and efficiency of the ultimate digital intelligence foundation, in addition, ZTE is also constantly improving innovation In the first half of this year, the R&D investment reached 12.79 billion yuan, accounting for 21.1% of the operating income, ZTE will accelerate the expansion from the CT field to the IT field based on the continuous breakthrough of the underlying core technology, and transform from a fully connected company to a computing company to promote the company to achieve long-term development.
In addition, "energy efficiency is like an arrow", in addition to innovation, we need to continuously and comprehensively improve the computing power capacity, that is, from the two levels of unit watt and unit bit, to improve the product performance in an all-round way, so that the network and computing resources are maximized, and thus reduce energy consumption. Such as the use of the latest technology and chips, from the performance, intelligence, storage and low carbon to improve the full range of computing power, so that computing power can be fast, accurate, and save.
Finally, "gather friends into an array", the age of digital intelligence is an era of group competition, industrial division of labor and collaboration is the key to success. He mentioned that in the past, when a hot spot appeared, everyone would rush to this field, resulting in a lot of internal consumption and waste of resources. Therefore, in the new era, we need to be more standardized and rational division of labor and cooperation to achieve more efficient development.
Wang Xiang also stressed in his keynote speech that in the future, ZTE will continuously improve the development of the five dimensions of industrial data intelligence targeting application targets, strengthening network computing bows, tightening innovation strings, improving energy efficiency arrows, and creating ecological arrays, working with partners to enhance enterprise capabilities, win-win new computing era, and opening the connection road of data intelligence in the new future.
