“Microcosmic + mesocosmic + macrocosmic” trinity, compatible and economical, integrated into the world
We are already in an era of big data explosion. In order to accelerate the breakthrough of new information technology innovation and all-round reform of economy and society, we need to examine and understand the fusion of “information” and “energy” from the long history and the tide of the times. Chairman Yang Jie The information energy expression of the evolution of human civilization gives a refined interpretation. But at the same time, we are also facing many challenges such as the slowdown of Moore’s Law, the criticality of Shannon’s Law, double-carbon sustainability, and digital security. Therefore, no matter for computing power and network, or software and hardware, we must form a closer relationship and With more blurred boundaries, multi-technology integration and evolution will become the key to improving service quality and efficiency.
In order to better facilitate information energyization, energy informatization, and information energy integration, from the microscopic level, that is, the “cell” level, the core solves performance and efficiency issues: the underlying core chip can combine domain customization (DSA), packaging and architecture Innovate and continue the Moore dividend; through the combination of heterogeneous computing power such as CPU, GPU, and DPU, match the scene to achieve better performance and efficiency; realize hardware acceleration through smart network cards, cloud cards, and DPU, and continue to deepen chips, algorithms, and architectures Soft-hardware co-optimization.
From the medium perspective, that is, the “organizational” level, the core is to solve the problem of resource efficiency: through innovative breakthroughs in 5G-A/6G, TSN, and all-optical Mesh, further improve spectrum and spectral efficiency, and expand coverage boundaries, such as sky, Integration of air, ground, and sea, and expansion of capability boundaries, such as guaranteed deterministic services, synaesthesia computing and control integration, etc.; the traditional computing-centric model will also transition to a data-centric model, with DPU as the center to build New computing power architecture and customization of heterogeneous fields; introduction of prefabricated modular new data center (ZEGO) to further reduce construction costs, shorten construction period, and greatly reduce PUE. Combined with enhanced servers and DC switches, data can be achieved barrier-free and green low-cost Carbon handling and mobility.
At the macro level, that is, at the level of “smart organisms”, the core is to solve the problems of survival and development: in the face of diversified computing power, ubiquitous connections, and rich data intelligence and security capabilities, superimposing different geographical locations, multiple equipment manufacturers, Different professional fields and multi-cloud environments, such a complex system needs to provide users with simple service portals, all of which are inseparable from the “computing network energy” high-level orchestration brain. The high-end brain adopts a unified atomic capability API control, shields the differences in multi-vendor network equipment and multi-cloud environments, and can realize the unified service of connection + computing + digital intelligence for ordinary users and vertical industry users, thus empowering thousands of industries and digital intelligence transformation and upgrading. At the same time, green safety is also the core principle that runs through the whole domain and the whole cycle.
Focus on the “Three Dimensions” Concentrate on the new chapter of digital intelligence
ZTE has always been committed to becoming a “road builder of the digital economy”, taking root downwards, insisting on doing the most difficult things to the best, and at the same time opening up atomic capabilities, and working with industry and ecological partners to grow toward the sun.
In addition to the specific innovative practices and thinking mentioned above, we also hope to wholeheartedly assist China Mobile in fulfilling its mission of “chain length” from the three dimensions of industrial chain traction, dual cycle promotion, and solid industrial foundation.
