The National Supercomputing Center is a scientific and technological infrastructure with supercomputers as key tools, and is the "strongest brain" for data processing and transformation. In Chengdu, Sichuan, when supercomputing meets giant pandas, one is hard-core technology, and the other is soft and cute, what will happen to the wonderful reaction?Let's take a look at the reporter's front-line research.
In the Giant Panda National Park, rangers are looking for wild panda feces, which contain pandas' "identity codes". After DNA extraction and preliminary determination of the fecal samples at the breeding research base, the raw data collected is sent to the National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu on a weekly basis.
Wang Ye, Director of the In-situ Conservation Genetics Research Office of Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base: After the Chengdu Supercomputing Center landed, we got in touch as soon as possible, because we have a particularly large demand, it provides almost unlimited computing power, and the main breakthrough point of our technology is to solve the problem of the utilization of old giant panda feces in the wild.
Obtaining individual DNA data through feces is the main way to establish genetic files of giant pandas. In the past, DNA could only be extracted from fresh feces, and fresh feces from giant pandas in the wild were very difficult to obtain. This year, the team led by Dr. Wang Ye successfully broke through the problem of genetic identification of old feces of giant pandas, making it possible to accurately investigate and protect giant pandas in the wild.
Wang Ye, Director of the In-situ Conservation Genetics Research Office of Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base: This year, we have built an innovation center for endangered animal genetics and computing with the National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu, which can do a lot of exploration of such parameters, so the process of technology research and development has actually been greatly shortened.
At the National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu, Wang Jianbo, the person in charge, told reporters that since it was put into operation in 2021, it has served more than 1,200 users in 45 cities and completed more than 53 million tasks, including more than 100 tasks of 100,000 cores.
Wang Jianbo, General Manager of the National Supercomputer Chengdu Center: The National Supercomputer Chengdu Center can provide base support for the innovation and development of the city as a whole.
As the national hub node of Chengdu-Chongqing National Integrated Computing Network of "Eastern Data and Western Computing", in recent years, Chengdu has actively laid out forward-looking new infrastructure and formed an integrated computing power support system of "supercomputing + intelligence + cloud computing + edge computing". In July this year, the National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu and the Chengdu Intelligent Computing Center were respectively approved to build the first batch of national open innovation platforms for the new generation of artificial intelligence public computing power.
Tan Mingxiang, Director of the Industrial Internet Promotion Division of Chengdu Economic and Information Bureau: Chengdu is one of the only two "dual-center" cities in the country where supercomputing and intelligent computing have been put into operation, and the computing power utilization rate of the intelligent computing center exceeds 90%, and the supercomputing center has been included in the national supercomputing center system, ranking second in the country in terms of computing power. We focus on the layout of forward-looking new infrastructure, build a solid foundation for the integrated development of future industries, and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity.
The four major laboratories of Tianfu "formed a group" to release innovation vitality.
In the past two years, Chengdu has continued to make efforts to build an innovation platform, and the four major laboratories of Tianfu, such as Tianfu Jiangxi and Tianfu Jincheng, have made their debut in a "group", facing the national strategic requirements and the world's scientific and technological frontiers, and building a comprehensive innovation scientific research platform covering the whole chain of innovation.
The four laboratories of Tianfu are the "reserve team" of national laboratories built by Chengdu in combination with its own advantages, focusing on three fields: electronic information, life sciences and ecological environment. In West China Hospital of Sichuan University, the latest research results of Dr. Wu Wentao's research team can quickly print external fixation braces for human limbs and spine, breaking through the technical bottlenecks of traditional 3D medical printing such as slow and time-consuming, and traditional materials are easy to brittle, and have achieved a number of world-leading technologies, which have been applied to clinical practice.
Wu Wentao, head of Jingchuang Haoda of West China Medical Robot Research Institute: The external fixation brace of the wrist traditionally takes 5-6 hours, but we can print it in ten minutes, which greatly improves the efficiency of clinical application.
This world-first technology is one of the recent R&D achievements of Chengdu Tianfu Jincheng Laboratory. The laboratory will be put into operation in 2022, focusing on the research directions of cutting-edge biotechnology, advanced medical technology, and high-precision medical devices.
This nerve visualization spine minimally invasive surgery navigation system, using advanced imaging technology and AR technology, has been applied to the training and teaching of minimally invasive spine surgery in the orthopedic department of the hospital.
Wang Xiandi, Chief Physician of the Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University: Based on the problems raised by a large number of clinical surgery and minimally invasive surgery practice cases, we will work with engineering experts to do technical research. After using this equipment, the requirements for doctors' two-dimensional to three-dimensional thinking skills have been greatly reduced.
At present, the four major laboratories of Tianfu have built 55 scientific research platforms, carried out more than 80 "stuck neck" projects, and nearly 30 achievements have entered the pilot test and landing transformation stage.
Wu Jun, Director of the High-tech Division of Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau: Promote the high-level construction of the laboratory system, lay out and build 5 major national scientific and technological infrastructures, and have 13 national key laboratories listed as national laboratories.
Build a high-quality innovation platform and build a new quality productivity engine.
In 2022, Chengdu will add 3,589 new state-level high-tech enterprises. In the first three quarters of this year, 7 new national science and technology innovation platforms were added, bringing the total number to 146More than 3,000 scientific and technological achievements in the fields of electronic information and new materials have been released. All of this stems from Chengdu's continuous efforts to build a complete high-quality innovation platform, so that scientific and technological achievements can take root more quickly.
As the first national independent innovation demonstration zone in the west, Chengdu High-tech Zone accounts for only 16% of the land area has gathered nearly 100,000 enterprises in new productivity-related fields such as electronic information and biotechnology, and 66 national innovation platforms. At present, it is vigorously implementing the pilot test leapfrog action plan and making every effort to build the first choice for the pilot test of scientific and technological achievements with national influence.
Wen Kun, Director of the Industrial Ecological Planning Division of Chengdu Economic and Information Bureau: Support universities, scientific research institutes and chain owners to build innovation consortiums, and make precise efforts through system construction to provide strong support for new quality productivity.
In the intelligent hardware pilot ecological park of the high-tech zone, the reporter saw that the scene of "downstairs pilot incubation" became a reality, forming the country's first full-chain scientific and technological achievements transformation ecosystem from material components to components, from components to complete machines, etc., which is an important starting point for Chengdu to improve the level of transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.
Chen Xu, deputy director of Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau: Accelerate the promotion of scientific and technological innovation and the transformation of achievements at the same time, and make efforts to integrate the layout of original innovation, technological innovation, achievement transformation and industrialization, so as to empower the cultivation and growth of new quality productivity.
This year, Chengdu will focus on 10 aspects, including the construction of a pilot platform for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, to further accelerate the construction of a high-quality major innovation platform and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. In the first three quarters of this year, Chengdu released more than 3,000 scientific and technological achievements, successfully introduced 106 top scientific and technological innovation teams, and landed 102 high-level innovation platforms.
Ding Xiaobin, Director of Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau: In terms of scientific and technological innovation in Chengdu in the future, we have two goals: the first is to build a scientific and technological innovation center with national influence, and the second is to build an innovation source serving the rear of the national strategy.
