Suzhou Accelerates the Deployment of Computing Power Industry, Building a Digital Foundation
Suzhou's computing power industry is upgrading rapidly, directly connected to Shanghai with 5 milliseconds of latency, building a new hub for intelligent supercomputing Seize the opportunity of digital infrastructure development in the Yangtze River Delta and learn how this city supports industrial transformation
On September 3, a reporter joined the online themed publicity event "The First Year in Review: China in Renewal and Change, Jianghuai Everyday" in Suzhou, Anhui, to learn about the local development of the computing power industry. Suzhou is extending from its early cloud computing foundation toward a broader computing power service system including intelligent computing power, supercomputing, and general computing power, becoming a digital infrastructure node supporting the new round of industrial upgrading.
At the Suzhou Computing Power Industrial Park, relevant technical staff introduced that the oneway transmission latency from Suzhou to Shanghai can be as low as about 5 milliseconds, significantly shorter than before. This network advantage helps meet the highlatencydemand scenarios of bank realtime settlement, online services, and artificial intelligence applications, while also improving the connection efficiency between Suzhou and the computing power demand of the Yangtze River Delta.
Suzhou's computing power layout was not formed in the short term. Since 2013, the local government has promoted the development of industries such as cloud computing and intelligent manufacturing in the hightech zone, and has built supporting facilities such as data centers, networks, and power supplies in advance. As these infrastructure projects have gradually been put in place, enterprises have been able to access existing resources more quickly, shortening the project construction cycle.
At present, multiple computing power centers have been formed within the park, covering supercomputing and intelligent computing services, with application scenarios including scientific computing, artificial intelligence, industrial simulation, meteorology and oceanography, new energy, and biomedicine. As more projects begin operation, Suzhou is further transforming from a traditional data storage and transmission base into a cluster for the computing power industry.
