From September 19 to 21, Huawei Connect 2024 was grandly held in Shanghai. The Global Computing Consortium (GCC) was invited to set up a professional booth in the industry organization exhibition area, appearing alongside many well-known industry organizations and adding a bright highlight to the conference.

Since its establishment, GCC has been committed to innovation and development in the computing industry, actively building new standards and cultivating new ecosystems, providing solid support for the vigorous development of diversified equal computing architectures. The diversified equal computing standards system built by GCC covers categories such as hardware and performance evaluation, comprehensively promoting progress in the computing industry.

To better develop the ecosystem for new computing technologies and industry applications, GCC continues to build a robust and prosperous industrial ecosystem through diversified approaches such as “testing, competitions, selection, exhibition, and application.” Initiatives such as the “Performance Evaluation Campaign for Typical Server Application Scenarios (PECA),” the “Open Source Innovation Competition,” the “Global Most Valuable Practice Series (GMVPS),” the “Annual Computing Industry Conference,” and “Value Industry Promotion” fully demonstrate GCC’s role in promoting industrial ecosystem development.

At this conference, GCC presented an innovative interactive experience comparing the large model training process under traditional computing architecture and equal computing architecture. The on-site demo video clearly showed the significant differences between traditional and equal computing architectures in speed, energy consumption, and efficiency when processing the same large model training task. The displayed model props also intuitively demonstrated the different characteristics of the two architectures: traditional architecture is CPU-centric, while the new architecture features component resource pooling and peer-to-peer interconnection among components. This vivid comparison attracted the attention of many industry professionals from China and overseas. Over the three-day event, the booth received nearly 500 visits and exchanges.

Many visiting industry users said that the global computing industry has now entered a new era driven by data. The rapid development of frontier technologies such as AI large models and AIGC has led to explosive growth in data volume. Artificial intelligence is driving profound industrial transformation, and diversified computing power has become a practical demand.

After visiting the GCC booth, many ecosystem partners from China and overseas expressed their hope to join the Consortium, work with GCC for further exchanges and cooperation, jointly build the future landscape of the global computing ecosystem, and provide customers with higher-quality digital and intelligent services.

It is reported that the industry organization exhibition area invited several well-known organizations, including GCC, to participate, fully demonstrating Huawei’s active achievements in working with industry organizations to promote digital economy growth and achieve win-win development in industry intelligence.
