China's Largest AI4S Cluster Officially Connected to National Integrated Computing Power Network

National-Level Computing Infrastructure Upgraded Again

At the 9th Digital China Summit, a milestone achievement in computing infrastructure was officially announced — Sugon's super-intelligent converged computing cluster, deployed at the core node of the National Supercomputing Internet, was officially connected to the national integrated computing power network. This marks the first time that China's largest AI for Science (AI4S) computing cluster has been incorporated into the national-level computing power scheduling platform, injecting powerful computational support into the country's fundamental research and scientific computing fields.

What Is AI for Science? Why Are Ultra-Large-Scale Clusters Needed?

AI for Science — using artificial intelligence to drive scientific research — is a frontier direction in the current global technology competition. From protein structure prediction to climate simulation, from new material discovery to drug development, AI4S is profoundly transforming the paradigm of traditional scientific research. However, such scientific computing tasks often require massive computing power, and the computational resources of a single institution are often insufficient to meet the demand.

The super-intelligent converged computing cluster connected by Sugon features a deep integration architecture of "supercomputing + intelligent computing." Traditional supercomputing excels at large-scale numerical simulation, while intelligent computing platforms specialize in AI model training and inference. The convergence of the two means that researchers can complete the entire workflow — from data processing and model training to scientific simulation — on a single platform, greatly enhancing research efficiency.

What Does Connecting to the National Integrated Computing Power Network Mean?

The national integrated computing power network is a major strategic project at the national level aimed at coordinating computing power resources, breaking down computing "silos," and achieving nationwide sharing and efficient allocation of computing resources. The connection of Sugon's super-intelligent converged computing cluster brings multiple far-reaching impacts:

First, the resource pool has been further expanded. As China's largest AI4S cluster, its addition will significantly enhance the overall computing power level of the national integrated computing power network, especially the high-performance computing supply capacity for scientific computing and AI training.

Second, scheduling capabilities have been significantly strengthened. Through the national-level computing power scheduling platform, research institutions and enterprises across the country can access the cluster's computing resources on demand, realizing the vision of "computing power being as readily available as water and electricity," effectively lowering the barriers to scientific research.

Third, it promotes collaborative innovation across industry, academia, and research. The integrated scheduling and operation model will foster deep convergence among fundamental research, AI innovation, and large-scale scientific computing, accelerating the transition of research results from the laboratory to practical applications.

Sugon's Computing Power Layout

As a leading domestic high-performance computing manufacturer, Sugon has been continuously increasing investment in computing infrastructure in recent years. From early supercomputer development to today's super-intelligent converged computing platforms, Sugon's deployment at the core nodes of the National Supercomputing Internet reflects its deep expertise in the computing field. The cluster's connection to the national-level platform further consolidates its leading position in the scientific intelligent computing domain.

Outlook: Integrated Computing Power Accelerates the Era of Scientific Intelligence

Currently, the global AI4S race is accelerating. The United States, the European Union, and others are vigorously promoting the deep integration of AI and scientific research. By incorporating its largest AI4S cluster into the national integrated computing power network, China has not only taken a critical step at the computing infrastructure level but has also laid a solid foundation for building a nationwide scientific intelligence ecosystem.

In the future, as more high-performance computing resources are connected to the national-level scheduling platform, China's AI4S applications in key fields such as weather forecasting, life sciences, materials science, and energy exploration are expected to experience explosive growth. Integrated computing power is becoming a core engine driving China's independent technological innovation, and the large-scale implementation of scientific intelligence is highly anticipated.
