At the National High Performance Computing Academic Annual Conference, experts said that computing power is the core productivity of the development of digital economy.

Recently, when attending the 18th CCF National High Performance Computing Academic Annual Conference, industry experts said that as one of the core bases for the development of digital economy, the launch of the project of channeling the computing resources from the East to the West will become an important engine to drive economic growth. Among them, computing power is the core productivity of the development of digital economy. At present, China’s computing power scale has ranked second in the world. It is imperative to do well in the planning, production, scheduling and use of computing power and promote the continuous improvement and green and sustainable development of computing power.

Chen Zuoning, an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, a member of CCF, and the co-chairman of the conference, pointed out in her speech that at present, “computing+data” has become a new paradigm for scientific research. High-performance computing has promoted the rapid development of digital economy and opened a new chapter of computing power enabling the digital economy. Under the new wave of advanced computing industry characterized by diversification and integration, achieving the sustainable development of high-performance computing should be guided by the major strategic needs of national development, constantly develop new paradigms, and deeply study advanced computing methods like scientific intelligent computing, engineering intelligent computing, “classical-quantum” collaborative quantum computing, and new computing structures, create an ecological environment of software and hardware collaborative innovation based on new computing power so as to boost the industry empowerment and continuously improve the level of digital industrialization and industry digitalization.

Sun Ninghui, an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of Academic Committee of the Institute of Computing Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that computing network integration is the trend of the times, and also an important direction of the balanced development of channeling the computing resources from the East to the West, which makes the network from the previous connected computing power to the ability to perceive, carry and adjust computing power. In addition, the information high-speed railway is to connect cloud, edge and end computing resources in a wide area environment at a high speed and form an efficient computing power interconnection infrastructure in order to provide high-throughput, high-quality, and high-security intelligent information services for industry users.
