Recently, the Cambrian Chronicles (MLU) series of cloud intelligent acceleration cards were officially launched in China Mobile. As of December 2023, China Mobile has completed the migration of 12 provincial companies and more than 70 AI businesses to the Cambrian MLU series of cloud intelligent acceleration cards. After full verification, the feasibility, ease of use and computing performance of the Cambrian MLU series cloud intelligent acceleration cards have reached or exceeded the international mainstream product level.
Relying on the cloud-edge-end collaborative management architecture and intelligent computing power sensing and scheduling capabilities, China Mobile has formed a multi-center and large-scale AI computing power cluster around the east-west hub nodes to support the computing requirements of complex AI scenarios and empower China Mobile's network-wide AI services.
In 2022, a number of provincial companies such as China Mobile Guangdong, Jiangsu Mobile, and Yunnan Mobile participated in the migration adaptation and testing of domestic AI computing power. For the relatively mature AI business scenarios in the province, the mobile provincial companies independently migrate the computing power migration module (including Cambrian adaptation image) of the private cloud platform, and adapt and migrate the AI services running on the GPU to the Cambrian Siyuan (MLU) series cloud intelligent acceleration cards to verify the feasibility, ease of use, and computing performance of the pilot AI business migration to Cambrian computing resources.
It has been fully verified by China Mobile's provincial companies: (1) In terms of feasibility, the service latency of the Cambrian Chrono (MLU) series cloud accelerator cards is equal to or leading the GPU runtime delay on the premise of ensuring service accuracy, which meets the service deployment requirements(2) In terms of ease of use, the service migration from GPU to MLU is both efficient and high-performance, the framework-based migration process is simple and efficient, and the migration based on the Cambrian inference engine MagicMind can ensure the optimization of business requirements(3) In terms of computing performance, the performance of the Cambrian MLU series cloud accelerator cards meets the business deployment requirements of AI scenarios such as CV and NLP submitted by various provinces, and the performance exceeds that of GPU in online stress testing.
As of December 2023, China Mobile has completed the adaptation of more than 70 AI algorithms and AI services in 12 provincial companies and officially launched them, and the AI services that have been empowered include important and commonly used AI services in various provinces, such as engineering quality inspection, bright kitchen, smart work order, and grid communication. The AI networks involved include CV Yolov5, MTCNN, MobileNet, NLP BERT, Simbert, etc.
In the future, Cambrian will continue to help China Mobile and jointly empower the implementation of AI in more business scenarios.
