CCTV News: The reporter learned from the 2025 World Telecom and Information Society Day commemoration event held in Nanchang, Jiangxi on May 17 that my country will promote the construction of a computing power Internet test network and accelerate the construction of a nationwide unified computing power network.

Computing power Internet is a new type of facility formed by "upgrading and transformation" based on the existing Internet. It can realize the interconnection of computing power resources like Internet connection information and equipment, allowing us to use computing power more conveniently and flexibly. At present, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Information and Communications Commission have jointly started the construction of computing power Internet.

The reporter saw that on the verification platform, not only can the computing power card types and quantities of each computing power resource be checked, but the corresponding computing power services can also be found and matched according to specific needs. Experts told reporters that in order to centrally allocate scattered computing resources, each computing resource must be identified on the network like issuing an ID card, so that you can code according to the computing power identification and quickly find the most suitable computing power resources and transmission paths.

Wang Zhiqin, deputy director of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said that the resource identification of 499 computing resource pools of 131 enterprises has been completed, gathering intelligent computing resources for 111.3 billion floating-point operations per second, and applications such as artificial intelligence and game rendering can match the best computing power nearby.

The total scale of national data center racks exceeds 9 million standard racks

Since this year, my country's computing power infrastructure construction has continued to accelerate. Up to now, the total scale of data center racks in the country exceeds 9 million standard racks, the total scale of computing power ranks among the forefront of the world, and the layout of computing power infrastructure is more optimized. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that it will accelerate the construction of a computing power infrastructure standard system, strengthen the construction of standards such as computing power interconnection and computing power platforms. Continue to promote the integrated development of regional information infrastructure such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Improving the capacity of computing power delivery and empowering new industrialization

The continuous acceleration of computing power infrastructure construction will bring to our specific work and life? At this World Telecommunications and Information Society Day commemoration event, the China Institute of Information and Communications, in conjunction with telecommunications operators, equipment manufacturing companies, Internet companies and other industrial partners, jointly launched the "Metropolitan millisecond calculation" campaign.

"Urban millisecond computing" refers to the construction of high-speed, large-capacity, low-latency, and wide-coverage metropolitan network infrastructure to achieve the access time of computing power center and computing power resources within 1 milliseconds, and the computing power application service time is in the order of 10 milliseconds.

Experts introduced that the overall quality of my country's computing power network carrying capacity is relatively good, among which Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong and other provinces and cities rank among the top ten in the country in terms of comprehensive carrying capacity. In terms of delay, all hubs have basically formed a 5-ms delay circle covering surrounding provinces (autonomous regions) and a 20-ms delay circle covering most provinces (autonomous regions) and municipalities across the country.

Experts said that promoting urban millisecond computing actions focuses on strengthening the empowerment of new industrial innovative applications, and expanding scenario applications such as "AI+" industrial quality inspection, industrial simulation design, etc. At the same time, typical application scenarios such as AI video monitoring and AI assisted teaching are explored for industries such as finance, transportation, education, and medical care.
