A large intelligent computing center in Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan Province, started operation on Sunday with a current computing power of 2,000 PFLOPS.
The center will help promote industrial innovation and regional economic development.
The Henan Airport Intelligence Computing Center is designed as a Tier 1 data center. It includes 15 modular data rooms to meet the high-end training computational needs of enterprises involved in large model research and development.
Computing power refers to the volume of computational tasks a computer system can complete within a unit of time. One PFLOP, or petaFLOP, equals one quadrillion floating-point operations per second.
"The computing power has reached 2,000 PFLOPS. The computing center has been used for the research, development, application, and training of large models on government affairs, health care, and education," said He Xiangpeng, business manager of the computing center at the Zhengzhou Airport Digital City Development and Construction Co., Ltd.
By the first quarter of 2024, the computing power of the center can reach 10,000 PFLOPS. Once the first phase of the center is fully completed, it will achieve a computing power of 30,000 PFLOPS, effectively filling the gap in Henan's super large intelligent computing center domain.
"The applications of the intelligent computing center are very extensive, covering a variety of fields including smart manufacturing, smart cities, smart healthcare, financial technology, and sci-tech innovation. This diversification of applications can drive industrial innovation and regional economic development," said Wei Wenpu, deputy general manager of the Zhengzhou Airport Digital City Development and Construction Co., Ltd.
