【2025数博会】华为这样解决单芯片算力差距短板
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-08-29 18:09
据悉,华为推出的CloudMatrix 384超节点集群,通过新型高速互联总线实现384张卡互联成为一个超级云服务器,单集群算力规模最高可达300P(超业界 67%),训练效率提升至41%以上,并显著降低模型训练成本。 记者 李奕璇 一是整个大模型的发展趋势,从小模型到大模型,从短序列到长序列,单模态到多模态,而且还是从快应答到深度思考。首先是需求的驱动力作为驱动去开 发一个新的形态。另外,依托国内半导体的支撑,华为从2019年就进入了实体清单,华为很多的芯片只能是设计出来,但是生产加工不出来。所以这也导致 华为现在芯片单颗的算力和国外先进的厂商还有一定的差距,这个差距在短时间内还无法突破。为了弥补当前的短板,华为推出了384超节点的架构,通过 系统化的功能传递,来满足当前国内国外的需求。 另外,华为384节点有16个机柜,其中12个机柜是算力节点,4个是网络机柜,通过4个网络机柜把12个机柜里面进行全光互联,实现了384颗芯片成为了一体 机,真正成为一个服务器,保证了可以实现卡和卡之间的时延达到了150纳秒左右。而为什么要做384颗,是因为英伟达提出72个节点,华为一定要超越对 手,推出384节点这个集群是 ...
“被误解”的任正非:芯片“断章取义”报道何时休?

《人民日报》采访原文中,任正非原话的确是"芯片问题其实没必要担心,用叠加和集群等方法,计算结果上与最先进水平是相当的。"不过,这一个回 答, 实际续接的是"您对人工智能的未来背景怎么看"。也就是说,任正非的本意并没有那么"高调",而是说中国在AI领域有芯片可用,正因为在单芯片 性能上落后美国芯片不少,所以昇腾才要剑走偏锋,通过堆叠(istack)和集群(Cluster)去力求达到英伟达那种性能。 其实只需要把原来的标题改成"AI芯片的问题没必要担心",仅仅一词之差,整体的语义就回归了。实际原文中任正非整体态度很谦虚,但看到这样的报 道,或许有些人就会认为任正非很"狂"。此类的断章取义其实还有很多…… "被误解"的任正非 实际上,如果经常关注国外报道,也许你会看到这样的字眼——华为创始人认为中国无需担心美国芯片制裁。 但如果细细品味一下《人民日报》的原文报道,就会发现,这种说法完全是境外媒体的捏造和臆测。任正非这一篇采访非常振奋人心,不仅提振了国内芯 片行业的士气,也非常谦逊,接受批评,正视不足,是一篇值得细细品味的报道。 中共中央办公厅国务院办公厅关于进 保障和改善民生 着力解决群众急难愁盼的意见 (2025 ...
