LONDON, Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GSMA awarded
Huawei Atlas 900 AI cluster with the
Global Mobile Awards 2020 (GLOMO Awards) – Tech of the Future
Award. Atlas 900 stood out with its world-leading AI computing
power, ultimate heat dissipation system, and best-in-class cluster
network. Atlas 900 accelerates global basic AI research and quickly
brings AI applications to industries to advance the AI era with
unparalleled AI computing power.
Innovative technology has propelled the mobile industry far
beyond the wildest expectations of early tech pioneers. GSMA awards
the GLOMO Award – Tech of the Future Award to recognize technology
that is ahead of its time and reshapes the world. The award marks
industry recognition of Huawei Atlas
900 AI cluster as a product that scales new heights in AI
innovation.
Atlas 900 is the world's fastest AI training cluster. It is a
powerhouse that combines thousands of Huawei Ascend 910 AI
processors for 256 to 1024 petaFLOPS (PFLOPS) FP16, providing the
computing power of 500,000 PCs. During the ResNet-50 model training
benchmark test, Atlas 900 shattered the world record by completing
training in 59.8 seconds. It is the only product in the industry
capable of completing such training under a minute.
Atlas 900 has diverse applications for scientific research and
business innovation, allowing researchers to train AI models with
images and videos more quickly. Not only does this benefit
scientific research in more efficient and accurate astronomical,
petrochemical, and weather predictions, but it also provides
business benefits, such as faster time-to-market for autonomous
driving.
The Atlas 900 AI cluster has three high-speed interconnect
modes: Huawei Cache Coherent System (HCCS), PCIe 4.0, and 100GE.
Atlas 900 uses data center switches from the Huawei CloudEngine
series to support a full-mesh parameter synchronization network for
AI model training boasting over 100 TB (10^12)/second. This reduces
the synchronization latency by 10% to 70% for a huge leap in
training efficiency.
Ultimate computing power can result in system overheating. The
Atlas 900 AI cluster has an industry-leading heat dissipation
system to cope with this issue. Its hybrid liquid cooling solution
supports a liquid cooling ratio exceeding 95% with cabinet-level
enclosed adiabatic technology. Ideal power usage effectiveness
(PUE) for a data center is 1.0. A single cabinet with Atlas 900
provides heat dissipation of up to 50 kW for a PUE of below 1.1. In
addition, Atlas 900 is far more space efficient than an 8 kW
air-cooled cabinet, reducing the equipment footprint by 79%. The
innovative liquid cooling system greatly reduces customer TCO with
high power, high density, and low PUE.
Comments from the judges, "This entry created a platform for
progress across a wide array of applications in the mobile industry
and beyond, leveraging the latest technology to deliver incredible
speed and performance with a minimal carbon footprint."
