A major release of the "data-intensive supercomputing development white paper 2023" to help build a new future of the industry.

Won three major awards and issued a major white paper

In recent years, high-performance computing is accelerating from sophisticated scientific research to a wide range of industries, and has become a new engine to promote the development of digital economy. Based on the HPC development strategy of building a solid base, co-building ecology and prospering industry, Huawei has built a complete high-performance computing basic software stack, which not only provides comprehensive technical support for enterprises, but also continues to promote technical standards, create the best application performance of HPC, and build ecology to promote the new development of the industry.

High performance Computing (HPC) is an important frontier branch of computing science, which uses the centralized computing resources of multiple computer systems (supercomputers) working in parallel to deal with extremely complex or data-intensive problems. Over the years, Huawei's technical support in the field of supercomputing has provided strong support for China's scientific and technological innovation. At CCF HPC China 2023, Huawei won three awards for storage, computing and networking, respectively: Huawei's self-developed enterprise-class distributed management software for ultra-large-scale clusters-Donau Suite won the Technology Innovation Award, Huawei OceanStor distributed storage won the CCF HPC China 2023 "Best Innovation Award for AI Survivability Base", and Huawei Super converged Ethernet solution won the CCF HPC China 2023 "Super converged Ethernet solution Innovation Award".

Based on the current situation and trend of the development of supercomputing at home and abroad, the White Paper on the Development of data-intensive supercomputing 2023 was officially released on August 24, which systematically expounds the concept and architecture standards of newly upgraded data-intensive supercomputing. It aims to provide guidance for system optimization, promote the landing of data-intensive supercomputing technical standards, system architecture and application demonstration, and promote the radiation capability of China's supercomputing industry, applied technology and scientific and technological innovation. Enhance the national competitiveness of our country in the field of supercalculation.

At the meeting, the opening ceremony of the "Digital Twin Joint Innovation Center" jointly built by Guoshi Group and Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. was also held. The Innovation Center is the first digital twin research institution in the field of marine industry in China. Based on the national strategy of marine power and "Digital China", and supported by high-performance computing, the Innovation Center aims to speed up the breakthroughs in the key technologies of marine digital twinning, create an independent and controllable open platform for marine digital twins in China, and promote the digital transformation of China's marine industry.

New era, new trend, new thinking and new future

On August 25, at the "2023 Huawei High performance Computing Solutions Sub-Forum", Huawei invited industry experts and industry representatives in different fields such as meteorology, transportation and artificial intelligence to share their wonderful practices. Hu Sheng, director of Guangzhou Institute of Tropical Marine Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, pointed out that the popularity of new technologies such as high-performance computing, big data and artificial intelligence has made weather forecasts more and more accurate in time and place. Chen Bin, head of the operation of Wuhan supercomputing center, said that Wuhan supercomputing center, as a new infrastructure of Pratt & Whitney computing power, will provide high-performance computing power to the government, enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions across the country, and promote the upgrading of local industries and the high-quality development of the digital economy. Wei Jianwen, senior engineer of the Network Information Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Fu Zhenxin, engineer of the Computing Center of Peking University, shared the practical experience of high performance computing from the perspective of colleges and universities. Wang Xinliang, technical expert of HPC solver, and Wei Wei, compiler architect, looked forward to the technical development of high performance computing from their respective professional fields. Shi Teng, senior cooperation director of Huawei academic Organization Systems Department, gave a comprehensive introduction to the comprehensive scientific research fund project jointly launched by CCF and Huawei in the field of high-performance computing.

In the technical keynote speech, Song Changcheng, an expert in Huawei computing system optimization, expounded the joint design and optimization of software and hardware for Kunpeng architecture. Guo Hongxing, chief architect of Huawei distributed storage solutions, discussed advanced survivability architecture and key technologies from the perspective of AI model.
