Jing Ji Ri Bao·2025-06-21 22:06Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued the "Computing Power Interconnection Action Plan," aiming to establish a comprehensive standard, identification, and rule system for computing power interconnection by 2026, and to achieve nationwide public computing power standardization by 2028, supporting the high-quality development of China's digital economy [1][4]. Group 1: Current State of Computing Power Demand - The demand for computing power is rapidly increasing due to the development of the artificial intelligence industry, with China's total computing power expected to reach 280 EFLOPS by the end of 2024, of which intelligent computing power will account for 90 EFLOPS, representing 32% [2]. - The interconnection of computing power is essential as users require on-demand access to computing resources anytime and anywhere, necessitating a standardized interconnection of public computing resources [2][4]. Group 2: Industry Initiatives and Investments - Various stakeholders are actively exploring paths for computing power interconnection, with local governments promoting the construction of computing power scheduling platforms and telecom operators proposing computing power network solutions [3]. - China Unicom plans to invest approximately 55 billion yuan in fixed assets by 2025, with a 28% year-on-year increase in computing power investment, aiming to integrate artificial intelligence with computing services [3]. Group 3: Challenges in Computing Power Utilization - Despite a leading position in computing power scale, China faces challenges such as the lack of a standardized and unified market for computing services, leading to a mismatch between supply and demand [5]. - The distribution of computing resources is uneven, with a significant portion of computing power being underutilized, resulting in an average utilization rate of about 60% [5]. Group 4: Goals and Strategies of the Action Plan - The Action Plan aims to address issues such as the integration of diverse computing resources, optimization of resource allocation, and the establishment of a nationwide computing power internet [6][7]. - Key tasks include the establishment of a complete standard system for computing power interconnection by 2026, focusing on improving the efficiency and service level of public computing resources [8][9].
