Huawei officially launched the Atlas AI computing platform at its annual Global Analyst Summit in Shenzhen, unlocking a new chapter in the Atlas commercial roadmap.
The platform, powered by Huawei’s Ascend series, offers various product form factors, such as accelerator modules, cards, AI edge stations and appliances. It provides an all-scenario AI infrastructure solution for device-edge-cloud scenarios and applies to fields such as smart city, carriers, finance, the Internet and electric power.
Integral to Huawei’s full-stack, all-scenario AI solution, the Atlas AI computing platform unlocks supreme computing power to help customers embrace an AI-fuelled future.
The Huawei Ascend AI processors benefit from advantages of the cutting-edge Da Vinci 3-D Cube architecture, delivering ultra-high computing density and energy efficiency to enable Atlas unrivaled AI computing power.
Hou Jinlong, president of Huawei Cloud & AI Products & Services, said the company will deploy a three plus one intelligent computing industry strategy based on its five types of proprietary core chips for computing, network, storage, management and AI.
Huawei aims to address the computing requirements of device-edge-cloud scenarios by leveraging three platforms: x86, AI and ARM computing platforms, the foundation for Huawei’s full-stack, all-scenario AI solutions. Meanwhile, Huawei will build an intelligent computing ecosystem around the three platforms, working with partners to lay the cornerstones for digital and intelligent transformation.
“AI as a new general-purpose technology will become a new basic capability that can change every industry and organization,” said Ma Haixu, director of the Huawei Intelligent Computing Business Department. “Huawei has always advocated providing inclusive AI that is affordable, effective and reliable. As a vital part of Huawei’s AI blueprint, the Atlas AI computing platform has been applied in the smart city, carrier, finance, Internet and electric power industries. Huawei has jointly innovated with partners to launch AI-facing best practices, empowering customers with high-performance, all-scenario industry solutions to embrace pervasive intelligence.”
Striving to bring pervasive intelligent computing with chip innovation, Huawei Intelligent Computing has developed a full spectrum of products.
