Shulou(Shulou.com)06/03 Report--

Recently, Huawei AI cluster Atlas 900 won the grand prize. After a rigorous review by a panel of authoritative judges, GSMA (Global Mobile Communications Synergy Association) organizers awarded the Global Mobile Awards 2020 (GLOMO Award) Future Technology Award to Huawei Atlas 900s.

After a rigorous review by the authoritative panel of judges, Atlas 900 finally stood out with its global leading AI computing power, extreme heat dissipation system, the best cluster network and so on. Atlas 900helps accelerate the popularity of global AI basic research and industrial AI applications, providing the world's strongest AI computing power.

Generally speaking, the industry believes that the three core basic elements of AI are computing power, algorithms and data. Among them, arithmetic is the foundation of the foundation, and both train and inference are inseparable from the support of strong arithmetic. The Huawei Atlas 900, which was officially launched in September last year, has brought about change precisely at the arithmetic level.

Atlas 900is currently the fastest AI training cluster in the world. It consists of 1024,000 Penton 910 AI processors with a total computing power of 256P~1024P FLOPS @ FP16, equivalent to the computing power of 500000 PC. In ResNet-50 's model training benchmark, the Atlas 900 broke the world record with a time of 59.8 seconds, making it the only product in the industry to complete training in less than one minute.

While the Atlas 900s are dominating the list, we can't help but ask why Huawei's Atlas series products are so strong. Can the Atlas series be tested in real business scenarios?

In the face of many questions, please don't miss the online broadcast of the second DevRun Live developer Salon of Huawei developer Conference (Cloud) on March 6. Front-line AI celebrities from companies such as Quanai Technology and Green Deep pupil will share the latest artificial intelligence practices based on Huawei's Atlas AI products. At that time, you will learn how Atlas can exert its power in multiple AI scenarios.

Why is Atlas so strong?

In addition to its outstanding performance, Huawei's full range of Atlas products are based on a unified Leonardo da Vinci architecture, ranging from Atlas 200AI acceleration modules and Atlas 300AI acceleration cards to Atlas 500smart stations, Atlas 800AI servers, and then to Atlas 900AI clusters, covering end-to-end, edge and cloud deployment scenarios.

In fact, what makes Atlas so powerful is its core capability-Huawei Teng series AI processors. Huawei supports the whole family of Atlas products through different specifications of Xiteng processors.

For example, the Penteng 910 processor, launched in Shenzhen in August last year, is a product of Huawei's Ascend-Max series. It has a FP16 computing power of 256 Tera-FLOPS,INT8 and 512 Tera-OPS, and supports 128-channel full HD video decoding (H.264 Uniq265). The power consumption required for the Teng 910 to reach the specification computing power is only 310W, which is significantly lower than the 350W of the design specification.

The maximum power consumption of the Penton 310 processor is only 8W, so it is an extremely efficient computing low-power AI processor. It has half-precision (FP16) computing power of 8TFLOPS, integer precision (INT8) 16TOPS, and supports 16-channel full HD video decoding (H.264and265). Teng 310 uses an efficient and flexible CISC instruction set, each AI core can complete 4096 MAC calculations in one cycle, integrates tensor, vector, scalar and other operation units, supports a variety of mixed precision calculations, and supports data precision operations in training and reasoning scenarios.

Of course, to achieve a breakthrough in artificial intelligence depends on the application of the product in the specific business scenarios of the industry. This issue of Huawei DevRun Live developer Salon is based on the practice of artificial intelligence applications based on Huawei Atlas products. Domestic first-tier AI celebrities will explain in detail the requirements and challenges of typical artificial intelligence applications, as well as the substantial changes brought about by the combination of Huawei Atlas and industry application scenarios.

What practical information will AI caf é share?

In this issue of Huawei DevRun Live developer Salon, Xu Jun, chief technology officer of Ai Technology Co., Ltd., will share "how to achieve real-time action recognition and intelligent interaction on humanoid robots." At that time, Xu Jun will introduce how to realize human motion recognition and machine following based on Huawei's high-performance reasoning processor Teng Teng, and will introduce the performance improvement and practice of human motion recognition and interaction scenes combined with actual development cases. and the industrial application of educational robots.

As we all know, the application scenario is the key to the landing and breakthrough of artificial intelligence. Recently, due to the epidemic, the demand for artificial intelligence products close to the near end of users is increasing rapidly, such as guiding robots in medical field, robots in education field, distribution robots in logistics field, patrol and control robots in crowded areas such as stations, and so on. These application scenarios often require low-power, miniaturized, high-speed case-based reasoning processors to ensure the effective implementation of AI algorithms in the near end. And the practice of Quan Love Technology in this field will certainly bring you new enlightenment.

Linaro cloud infrastructure Tech Lead Zhao Shuai will share "Kubernetes as a service-The Open Source Cloud on ARM64". As the industry's first developer cloud platform based on ARM64 server, Linaro is built entirely on open source IaaS and PaaS platforms. At that time, Zhao Shuai will introduce in detail the basic architecture of the open source cloud platform based on ARM64, as well as the specific development work and implementation of Kubernetes as a service in Linaro.

Deng Yafeng, chief technical officer of Geling Deep pupil Information Technology Co., Ltd., will bring "how to achieve 768-way extreme high-density video real-time analysis on a single machine." Deng Yafeng will introduce how to implement high-performance AI computing in video analysis scenarios based on Huawei Atlas 300 artificial intelligence computing products. An actual case will introduce how to optimize the integration of hardware and software, maximize excitation performance, and support and solve the challenge of high-density video real-time analysis.

In fact, computer vision has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence landing. In recent years, a large number of AI applications based on image recognition have appeared in various industries. For example, smart cities, safe cities, intelligent transportation, autopilot and so on, all need to automatically analyze, identify, track, understand and describe the characteristics of images and videos through AI technology, especially in places with large traffic, these applications usually need strong computing power to support. At that time, Deng Yafeng's sharing will certainly bring a new understanding to those who want to know how to use the AI module to achieve the ultimate high-density video real-time analysis.
