GCL-ET Builds the First Vertical AI 1000P Cluster in Shanghai
Recently, the commissioning ceremony of GCL-AI Computing (Shanghai) Center and the unveiling ceremony of Baoshan Project were held in Baoshan District Traffic Information Industry Center, Shanghai. This is the first AI 1000P cluster focusing on the vertical field in Shanghai. It is estimated that the final power scale will reach 1000P by the end of the year. The center is also the second intelligent computing center put into operation by GCL-ET after the GCL-AI Computing (Suzhou) Center was put into operation on August 27 this year. The project integrates advanced technologies including high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and big data analysis to efficiently serve scientific research, industrial development, and social needs.
Zhao Ping, Party Secretary of Gucun town, Baoshan District; Xu Zhikang, Deputy Party Secretary and Mayor; Zhu Gongshan, Chairman of GCL Group; Li Shichun, Secretary of Party Working Committee, Director of Management Committee and Second-level Inspector of Mentougou Scienece Park, Zhongguancun; Cong Qiang, Director of Personnel Department of China Transport Communications & Information Center; Zhao Yumin, former Deputy General Manager of Communications & Information Group Co., Ltd.; Xu Mingqiang, Chairman of China Transport & Communications Big Data (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “China Transport Big Data”); Song Chao, Vice President of GCL, as well as leaders of relevant departments of Shanghai Baoshan District and Nanjing Lishui District and leaders of cooperative enterprises attended the event.
In his speech, Zhao Ping said that the settlement of GCL-AI Computing (Shanghai) Center has added an important pole to Gucun’s efforts to build Baoshan Intelligent Manufacturing Core Bearing Area, Modernization Pioneer Area, and Transformation Development Demonstration Area. Boshan will unswervingly support enterprises to implement independent innovation, gather the development needs of enterprises in the whole life cycle, continuously release policy dividends, provide solid guarantee, and create a better environment for the development and growth of GCL-AI Computing (Shanghai) Center.
As a project partner of GCL-AI Computing (Shanghai) Center, Xu Mingqiang said that computing power is entering thousands of households, serving thousands of industries and becoming a public basic resource like water and electricity. GCL and China Transport Big Data have joined forces to create a new coordinate of computing power industry in the Yangtze River Delta, serving the transformation and development of Baoshan District in “the main position of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center, the main urban area of international metropolis, and the green and low-carbon transformation model area of the whole city”, and jointly promoting the rapid development of artificial intelligence industry in the Yangtze River Delta.
Zhu Gongshan said that under the traction of the “dual carbon” goal, the construction of a new power system has been accelerated, and energy and computing power have become inseparable “twin stars”. GCL is deeply rooted in the fertile ground for high-quality economic development in the Yangtze River Delta, followed the digital transformation thinking of building enterprises on digital soil, and comprehensively built a new ecology of industrial integration combing “electric power + energy storage + computing power” to drive the construction of new productive forces. In the next step, GCL will continue to expand, optimize, and enhance the scope and capability of smart application, and strive to build an open, shared, and collaborative computing ecosystem to boost the “dual carbon” process.
Computing power is the productivity in the digital economy era. In October this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other six departments jointly issued the Action Plan for High-quality Development of Computing Infrastructure, making arrangements for enhancing the effectiveness of computing power empowerment. The Ministry promoted and encouraged leading enterprises to build data centers with high standards in a green, intelligent, and customized way, make full use of the advantages of existing energy resources, and provide computing power integrating “energy flow, business flow, and data flow" in combination with their own application needs.
GCL-ET is the only listed company specializing in “electric power + computing power” in the energy field and builds the world’s leading digital energy service provider integrating photovoltaic power, storage system, terminal charging, computing power, battery testing, network, and cloud. On the unveiling ceremony, GCL-AI Computing and China Transport Big Data established GCL Energy and Intelligent Transportation Computing Power Center, which expanded from the energy field to the digital transformation of transportation, shipping, and satellite fields. The two sides jointly built an intelligent transportation computing power center with the “integration of sensing, storage, and computing” in the field of transportation Internet of Things, providing high-level computing power supply for global shipping logistics, national vehicle logistics, and unmanned aerial vehicles. GCL signed a contract for strategic cooperation between government and enterprise projects with Mentougou District of Beijing and Shenzhen SDGI Information Co., Ltd. It also carried out a series of signing activities with computing power and artificial intelligence industry alliance and sci-tech cooperation customers etc.
Huaxi Securities said that if the generative artificial intelligence AIGC is the “flow entrance” for technology enterprises to start the second round of performance growth curve, computing power is the “admission ticket” for technology manufacturers to start the AI battle. With the establishment of the National Data Bureau, the regulations on data assets entering the table have been implemented, and the industrialization of computing power is just around the corner. GCL-ET will speed up the layout of key cities, link with relevant leading enterprises and other parties, and innovate models to ensure the growing demand for intelligent computing power and jointly consolidate the digital intelligence base for the development of digital economy.
