With the iteration and update of AI technology, the demand for computing power in China continues to expand. ”Zhang Zhentao, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and researcher of the Institute of Physics, Chemistry and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with the China News Service recently that the scale of China's border computing power output is expected to further expand in the future, and the western region will be more deeply integrated into the new national development pattern. This year's government work report proposes to implement new infrastructure projects such as ultra large scale intelligent computing clusters and computer collaboration, and strengthen national integrated computing power monitoring and scheduling. For the first time, the concept of "computer and electronic collaboration" has been included in the government work report. The end of computing power is energy. ”Zhang Zhentao mentioned that the computing power industry is a high energy consuming industry. In the future, the demand for electricity in China's computing power development will continue to grow exponentially. Zhang Zhentao stated that the collaboration between the East and the West in computing and electronics is a win-win situation for China's new energy utilization and artificial intelligence development. The demand for computing power in eastern China is concentrated, but the cost of electricity is high. Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou and other regions have abundant green power resources, which can provide guarantees for the operation of computing power. In addition, the dry and cool climate in the western region can be regarded as a natural "radiator", which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of computing power centers. In the past, due to limited local consumption capacity and lagging construction of external transmission channels, some western regions faced the dilemma of "abandoning wind and solar power". The construction of the computing power center has improved the comprehensive utilization rate of local wind and photovoltaic power, "said Zhang Zhentao. Under the promotion of the "East Calculation West Calculation" project, major computing power centers have successively landed in the western region. Since the 14th Five Year Plan, China's integrated computing power network has connected the east, west, north, and south, and the total scale of computing power has jumped to the second largest in the world; The average annual growth rate of computing power scale is as high as 30%, and over 70% of the new computing power comes from the western region. In places such as Hami in Xinjiang and Ulanqab in Inner Mongolia, traditional "coal seas" have established new energy equipment manufacturing bases, achieving a leap from coal and power transmission to computing power transmission. This transformation has played a good promoting role in optimizing resource allocation in various regions and balancing technological development in the east and west. ”In Zhang Zhentao's opinion, the coordination of computing and electricity has become a useful practice for frontier regions to explore the path of Chinese path to modernization. Transforming 'Watt' into 'Bit' is quietly changing the lives of border residents. Zhu Guanglan, a National People's Congress representative and employee of the fifth company of Huangtian Farm in the 13th Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, deeply felt this. She said in an interview that the computing power park not only brings new positions such as information system operation and data processing, but also "with the landing of e-commerce and the development of cross-border data services, more and more young people are engaged in live streaming e-commerce and cross-border e-commerce, truly achieving employment at home".
