Transforming Computing Power into Real Productivity (People's Review) Society | Livelihood | Current Review
Computing power has become a new engine for high-quality economic and social development, demonstrating a "multiplier effect" on driving economic growth and improving social livelihoods
Computational power refers to the ability to process data. From smartphones and personal computers to servers and supercomputers, computing power is entering thousands of households and serving various industries, becoming a public basic resource like water, electricity, and gas, providing "on-demand" social services.
The total scale of computing power ranks second in the world, maintaining an annual growth rate of about 30%. Intelligent computing power accounts for more than half of the newly added computing power facilities, and the comprehensive supply level is rapidly improving; The production of computing products such as servers, computers, and smartphones ranks first in the world, with breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies and continuous enhancement of industrial innovation capabilities; Expanding from the Internet to manufacturing, finance, transportation and other industries, enabling all walks of life to deepen steadily... Not long ago, the relevant information released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed a vivid picture of the booming development of China's computing industry.
As a new productivity in the digital economy era, computing power not only provides support for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, but also spawns new economic growth points. Integrating computing power into traditional manufacturing and participating in the production process can provide strong support for the intelligent transformation and digital transformation of enterprises. The integration of computing power into emerging industries has promoted the development of new formats, models, and applications, becoming an important driving force for the growth and growth of emerging industries.
The charm of computing power lies in its ability to unleash the innovative vitality of new production factors such as data. In recent years, the rise of cloud computing, big data, blockchain, and metaverse has all relied on the foundation of computing power. Computing power has become a new engine for high-quality economic and social development, demonstrating a multiplier effect on driving economic growth and improving social livelihoods. According to calculations, for every 1 yuan invested in computing power, it will drive an average economic output of 3 to 4 yuan. In a sense, the level of computing power development in a country will also greatly affect its level of innovation and long-term economic growth.
It should be noted that compared with the goal of promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and achieving high-quality economic and social development, and in response to the requirements of fierce competition in the international market, there is still a gap in the development of computing infrastructure in China, and computing efficiency and application level still need to be improved. To truly transform computing power into real productivity, continuous efforts must be made in optimizing computing power supply, strengthening technological innovation, promoting application implementation, and achieving long-term results.
Optimizing the supply of computing power requires both strengthening the construction of computing infrastructure and coordinating the scheduling of computing resources to continuously improve utilization efficiency. The "East Data and West Computing" project was further promoted, and the deployment of the national supercomputing Internet was launched, providing support for China to continue to optimize the layout of computing power, achieve connectivity and efficient and intensive use of resources. Looking towards the future, we should further enhance the comprehensive supply capacity of computing power, lower the application threshold, and truly make computing power affordable, usable, and well utilized.
Strengthening technological innovation, on the one hand, we need to promote innovation in computing architecture, computing methods, and algorithms, and strengthen the research and development of key products such as CPUs, GPUs, and servers; On the other hand, it is necessary to do a good job in adapting and coordinating hardware, basic software, application software, etc., and improve the level of advanced industrial foundation. Especially, efforts should be made to promote breakthroughs in fundamental original technologies such as large model algorithms and frameworks, and to create a good industrial development ecosystem.
Promoting the implementation of applications is the "last mile" to truly transform computing power into real productivity. Currently, the marginal and social benefits of computing power applications are still very high. Strengthening computing power support guided by application needs and accelerating the implementation of innovative and distinctive computing power applications is not only the expected goal of computing power development, but also a practical path to further promote the high-quality development of computing power in China.
Computing resources are an important foundation for the development of the digital economy. In the future, more widely used and intelligent computing power will undoubtedly achieve greater value in the collaboration of various digital elements.
