With the successful conclusion of MWC 2024 in Barcelona, Spain, the global mobile communications industry has once again witnessed a leap forward in technology and infinite possibilities in the future. With the theme of "Future First", this conference focused on six major themes, including "Beyond 5G, Internet of Everything, AI Humanization, Digital Intelligent Manufacturing, Subversion of Rules, and Digital Genes".
From the perspective of new concepts, new products, new technologies and future key directions released by major manufacturers, 5G and AI are undoubtedly the two hottest keywords of this conference. Yang Jie, chairman of China Mobile, set the tone for this in his speech, he made it clear that China Mobile takes the vision of "information service technology innovation company", actively grasps the trend of the "AI+" era, promotes the extension and expansion of "5G+" to "AI+", and opens up a new path of transformation and upgrading with all-round, systematic and in-depth integration and innovation.
Derived from the deep insight and forward-looking layout of future technology trends, the mobile cloud showcased the world's leading scientific and technological achievements such as the computing network brain and the intelligent computing center at the conference, highlighting the outstanding strength of the mobile cloud in the field of cutting-edge technologies.
Build a computing network brain and deepen computing power to empower industry applications
In the era of digital economy, how to play a leading role in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and achieve high-quality development has become the primary task of all parties. As the main force in the construction of digital China, China Mobile Cloud actively implements the national strategy of "Eastern Data and Western Computing" and meets the practical needs of the development of computing power networksThe intelligent center of China Mobile's computing network - "computing network brain".
In rich computing network business scenarios and highly complex computing network environments, the computing network brain built by the mobile cloud has demonstrated powerful intelligent orchestration and scheduling capabilities, which can support itTask-based services, integrated solutions and traditional product upgrades represented by East View and West Rendering and Data Expressand other diversified computing network services. Through the efficient operation of the computing network brain, the threshold for the use of computing network resources is effectively reduced, and the comprehensive use cost is also significantly reduced.
Taking the business scenario of "East View and West Rendering" as an example, the computing network brain can realize cross-regional computing power collaboration and resource scheduling, ensuring that the large-scale computing power demand of film and television rendering scenes can be met, and at the same time, the cost of film and television rendering can be reduced, which has significantly improved the business efficiency of customers; Based on the end-to-end network resilience capability of the computing network brain, the cross-domain transmission of massive data has become more stable and efficient. At present, with the support of the data express service of the computing network brain, the data transmission business of Taihu Light Supercomputing Center has been realized3 hours 4T dataAt the same time, through the flexible billing method at the minute level, the stable transmission is reducedThe cost of going to the cloud.
To meet the special needs of industrial, medical, transportation and other industries, the computing network brain flexibly creates a one-stop solution to effectively improve the solution delivery capability. This innovation makes multi-portfolio ordering and solution go-live more efficient。For the upgrade of traditional products, the computing network brain also plays an important role. It simplifies the configuration process and improves the user experience, such as roaming cloud PCs can dynamically adjust the location of instances according to the user's movement trajectory to ensure service continuity and efficiency.
As the application of computing power continues to expand to various industries, the computing network brain, as the intelligent scheduling center between computing power and applications, realizes the two core capabilities of design and orchestration and scheduling"Computing + Network + Application" integrated supply and integrated product capability support。This not only promotes the optimal allocation and efficient utilization of computing resources, but also provides stable technical support for deepening the empowerment of computing power in all walks of life.
Deploy "N+X" intelligent computing resources and continue to develop new digital infrastructure
The amount of data in the world is experiencing explosive growth due to the emergence of large models and generative AI applications. However, the current growth rate of computing power supply is far from meeting this growing demand, which has become an important driving force for computing technology research and development, infrastructure construction and industrial ecological transformation. In order to meet this challenge, the industry needs to continue to innovate, optimize the allocation of computing power resources, and improve the efficiency of computing power use to better support the rapid growth of global data volume.
Based on this, the mobile cloud keeps up with the pace of development of the industry and continues to upgrade the construction of intelligent computing infrastructure. Now the mobile cloud has been builtThe full-stack, autonomous, controllable, and industry-leading intelligent computing center architecture has formed an "N+X" intelligent computing resource layout system。In addition, the mobile cloud is also built based on the high-performance computing resources of Wanka at the bottom of the intelligent computing centerA full-stack intelligent computing product system from high-performance computing power to AI training and inference platform to model services.
Computing infrastructure is the "source power" of computing power production。How to build, use, and develop computing infrastructure has become a development topic in front of the mobile cloud. Based on this reality, the mobile cloud is built at the infrastructure layer10,000-card-level heterogeneous GPU clustersThis cluster has core capabilities such as training acceleration, multi-level resource-aware scheduling, and full-link monitoring of AI work. Together, these capabilities provide efficient and elastic cloud-native computing power support for large-scale model training and inference, ensuring the smooth progress of various business scenarios.
For the majority of institutions and enterprises, an efficient intelligent computing platform can not only save a lot of costs, but more importantly, it can realize the implementation of models faster, so as to seize market opportunities. To this end, the mobile cloud was launchedAn integrated model development platform for training and pushingIt supports breakpoint training and large-scale distributed training to achieve wide coverage and efficient utilization of computing power. At the same time,Provides a cross-platform model migration toolto solve the problem of inconsistent AI accelerator card system and improve the flexibility and utilization of computing power. In addition, the mobile cloud was launchedLarge-scale model services such as Jiutian Zhongqing Pedestal and Jiutian Haishu Government Affairs provide more than 100 industry-leading modelsIt provides more intelligent and efficient service support for all walks of life.
Overall, the mobile cloud is inInfrastructure, intelligent computing platform, and model servicesThe comprehensive upgrade and innovation at the three levels not only consolidate the foundation of computing services, but also greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of intelligent computing, providing a solid guarantee for the wide application and in-depth development of artificial intelligence.
In the new stage of development of mobile communication technology, mobile cloud has helped the field of computing power network to achieve intelligent leap with its profound technical background and innovation capabilities, and injected a steady stream of power into the vigorous development of China's digital economy and the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure.
