Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of computing power is driving the promotion of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, which in turn supports technological innovation, industrial development, and public welfare in the digital economy era [1][2]. Group 1: Computing Power Development - Computing power, defined as the amount of data processed by a device in a unit of time, has become a new engine for high-quality economic development by analyzing and processing data [1][2]. - The "Chaohu Mingyue" supercomputer in Hefei, with a computing capacity of 12P (1.2 hundred trillion calculations per second), can perform calculations that would take the entire population of China nearly 100 days to complete in just one second [2][3]. Group 2: National Strategy and Infrastructure - Hefei has actively developed new computing power tracks, establishing a 100P-level computing center and a 3000P-level domestic computing cluster in collaboration with iFlytek [3][6]. - The first domestic 10,000-card computing cluster was successfully operational in October 2023, achieving 90% of the performance of similar imported computing clusters [6][8]. Group 3: Applications and Impact - The computing power cluster has served over 700 research institutions and nearly 6,000 users, delivering over 34.7 billion CPU core hours and 1.56 million AI card hours, facilitating over 10 million computing tasks [8][9]. - In the automotive industry, digital twin technology has reduced the R&D cycle by over 30% by simulating crash tests before physical trials, showcasing the efficiency gains from utilizing computing power [7][8]. Group 4: Future Prospects - Hefei is focused on building a domestic computing ecosystem, with nearly 20,000P of computing power directly managed by the Hefei Big Data Asset Operation Co., Ltd., and plans to further integrate computing resources from various provinces [8][9].
