Preferential policies for computing power have been launched one after another
Set off a wave of hash coupons
Who can get the hash coupon?
How does it work?
How to empower new quality productivity?
Let's take a look
01
Who can get it?
It is understood that Nanjing Kirin Science and Technology Innovation Park launched preferential computing policies such as computing power coupons and computing power discounts for Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center as early as April last year.
- Computing power coupons are more like experience coupons, and enterprises and individuals with computing power needs can draw computing power coupons through the official account "Zhihui Kirin" of the Qilin Science and Technology Innovation Park or the official account of the operator of Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center "Nanjing Zhongke Inverse Entropy", and get free usage time, ranging from 24 hours to 96 hours, and no less than 2,400 hours per week;
- Computing power discounts are divided into five categories: A, B, C, D, and E for different customer groups, and there are discounts for artificial intelligence industry ecological enterprises, universities and research institutes, and individual users who use it for the first time, and the minimum discount on the use price of computing power is 30% of the benchmark price.
Wang Hongliang, general manager of Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center Operating Company, said that after the release of the preferential policy on computing power, it not only attracted a large number of users to register, but also attracted many artificial intelligence companies from all over the country to take the initiative to seek cooperation in Nanjing

How does it work?
In layman's terms
Computing power is computing power
Refers to the ability to process data
According to the survey data, more than ninety percent of enterprises are using or planning to use AI in the next three years, and 74.5% of enterprises expect to adopt AI public computing infrastructure with utility significance in the future due to the high cost of building computing hardware. Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center is focusing on the needs of enterprises to use "computing" and issue computing power coupons.
It is understood that hash coupons are not physical coupons in the traditional sense, but more like an intangible cloud service. After the user draws the free computing power coupon, the Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center will open a one-time computing account for him. If you want to continue to use it after the trial ends, you can sign a computing power rental contract with the intelligent computing center and open a formal computing power account.
"The computing power that can be provided in the first phase is 8 billion times per second (800 Pops under the octal system), and now the second phase is completed, the computing power can reach 18 billion times per second (1800 Pops under the octal system), and the total computing power has doubled compared with the first phase. Wang Hongliang introduced that Pops is the number of operations that can be performed by the processor per second, and 1800Pops is equivalent to 1.4 billion people at a rate calculated once per second, and it will be counted for 40 years.
The second phase of Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center has just been completed and put into use
As the only one in Jiangsu and the first batch in the country
A new generation of artificial intelligence public computing open innovation platform
It will be constructed in three phases
Eventually, it will be built with a theoretical peak of
25 billion per second
(2500Pops under octal).
Intelligent Computing Center Platform
At present, the center is equipped with 7,280 AI intelligent acceleration cards equipped with domestic chips to provide intelligent computing power, rich and flexible architectures to meet different application needs, since the launch of computing power coupons, the average utilization rate of the center's computing power has exceeded 80%, and the peak utilization rate is close to 100%.

How to empower new quality productivity?
As the largest and most powerful national intelligent computing center in the Yangtze River Delta region, Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center also provides inclusive computing services for universities, scientific research institutes, and small and medium-sized artificial intelligence enterprises across the country, effectively alleviating the current shortage of computing resources and high computing costs.
It is reported that at present, the center has adapted more than 40 pedestal large models to empower the field of artificial intelligence, and has radiated to enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region such as Suzhou, Xichang, Shanghai, etc., and served hundreds of scientific research institutes, universities and innovative enterprises, including the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Science and Technology of China, and Nanjing University, reducing costs by more than 100 million yuan and increasing economic benefits by more than 1 billion yuan.
"Not only can it be calculated, it can be calculated quickly, but it is also affordable. The relevant person in charge of the Kirin Science and Technology Innovation Park said that cost-effective computing resources are an important starting point for the park to build an artificial intelligence industry ecosystem.
Today, the field of artificial intelligence has been attracted
Computing power layer, platform layer and algorithm layer
More than 30 enterprises have landed
